mindfulness or mindlessness?

One definition of mindfulness is awareness of pre-thought, that is, to capture rumination, stop it in its tracks and put a magnifying glass over it. Then you can inspect the material, as a thought, and either notice it go away or notice yourself doing something about it.

verbal or nonverbal?

Some of the pre thoughts, perhaps call them gut feelings or intuitions, can be nonverbal. Perhaps that is along the lines of a bag of words , sort of embedded in a hyperdimensional space? And one where neuralink can one day let us write with them or direct our environment. That’s the stuff of thought.
