How do thoughts remove us from the now moment? Well I'm not sure I can put that process into words adequately, sorry. It's something I learned while tripping shrooms so it's more of one of those deep realizations and not something I've pondered consciously.
A thought is a judgement on the moment. If someone is talking to you, you can either hear to what they say and absorb it in the moment, or you can think about what they are saying, how you're going to respond, etc, and remove yourself out of the moment. As soon as you stop being and you start thinking, you are much less in the moment.
If we think of the mind/body/spirit complex as the instrument for the Creator the play, most of our own thoughts would detune us. No thoughts make us a purer instrument so that we can be purer channels for the Creative energy to work through us. This is what I believe is the importance of balancing the self, accepting everything, and removing the process of judgement (thought) - so we can be puppets for the Infinite One.

Quote:Let us for a moment consider thought. What is it, my friends, to take thought? Took you then thought today? What thoughts did you think today? What thoughts were part of the original thought today? In how many of your thoughts did the creation abide? Was love contained? And was service freely given? You are not part of a material universe. You are part of a thought. You are dancing in a ballroom in which there is no material. You are dancing thoughts. You move your body, your mind, and your spirit in somewhat eccentric patterns for you have not completely grasped the concept that you are part of the original thought.
