One cannot let go of a thought.....how absurd, virtually impossible.
No, not absurd, and not impossible either.
One cannot let go of a thought.....
Um, okay... but has a thought ever let go of "you"? (so to speak?)

in the total absence of thought, the thought of being separate wouldn't even arise in the first place, again impossible.
How can the absence of 'thought' reveal anything? that kind of thinking is just another example of nondual typical semantic nonsense.
Nonsense? Probably more like a missed-understanding... (which of course is also non-sensed

).
Okay, I phrased it as an absence of thought, but I could just as well have called it "unhinged thoughts." It's just a manner of speaking, or a way of pointing, or perhaps a shift in perspective?
In fact, I have it on very good authority that thoughts can become completely unhinged from awareness...
...
UN-hinged... yes.
... and "unhinged" is just a way of saying thoughts can become
separated from awareness, (which of course is dualistic, and is not a nondualistic way of explaining it. But oh well, mere words can only do so much.)
...but if/when the unhinge-ing happens, just don't try to tell a non-nondualist about it, because they would most likely insist on counseling with a "professional."
