I thought you might be headed towards an observation that letting go, letting the thought be universal, not tainting it by individual interests, was a good thing. Which it might be. But it occurred to me, that shaping the "universal" thought" towards your own localized interests (and the interests of all you look out for, care for) is natural and can ve a good thing. How better to localize a universal thought to the localized needs of a particular person or group? And the extention of this, is that as one's interests and perspective / awareness becomes broader, the "personalized" thought gains the customization of a broader, more "complex" larger "personal interest. Extending to Oneness. YET, even stretching to Totality, it can and does maintain that intelligence nexus / genius of localized focus and awareness of "local needs". Seems a better "design" than lots of universal unpersonalized thoughts just popping up. Just a thought.
