Good points All, as always, Rory!
I believe what MMY was speaking about when he said this practice of consciously watching how we think while we think can divide the mind, was about the ignorant mind; no awareness of the Self. This practice of attempting to watch part of the mind by another part of the mind can in fact be damaging to the [ignorant] mind over time, since it builds in a habit of inertia and ponderous thinking. Sad and comical at the same time. Once the mind attains a witnessing quality, then all of what you are describing is entirely appropriate in order to eliminate duality and therefore space and time.
