Rethinking thoughts is still thinking - and thinking is dualistic - it can never make it's mind up. One minute it says good then next it says bad. Can you trust words to help you find the true answer?
You're getting to philosophical about it.
You have to think in order to correct your thinking. The paradox is - your new way of thinking draws you away from over thinking. The problem isn't thinking persay, but over-thinking.
If your response above is truthful, I urge you to alert the medical profession right away. It appears that over a century of research into the aetiology and treatment of mental illness, as well as the testimony of sufferers, is misguided and wrong. We can cure ourselves of mental illness merely by thinking ourselves better.
It will probably sell well; there are plenty of desperate people out there looking for relief – or even the hope of relief – from the misery of mental illness.
Using the same system to cure the system will not work. The system is corrupt and you believe that you can use the same corrupt system to correct it - honestly - it does not work.

But I don't think it's necessary to go further and make dogmatic statements like it is all caused by "dualism".
I can't find where I made the dogmatic statement - 'it is all caused by dualism'.

The trick is to not believe what the thoughts say.
