Question

Is it basically correct to think of the goal of the practice to let go of all thoughts except those needed to respond accurately and appropriately to the needs of the moment?

Answer

Yes, I think that makes sense. We let go of all thoughts that are negative, in fact we can let go of all thoughts except the thoughts that we need in the moment to respond accurately and appropriately to the needs of the moment. I think that is a fair definition here. The word "appropriately" is very important. Sometimes people want to be correct and true, but it is not always appropriate in that moment. That is very important to look at.
