>Can you please site some... I think I read it in Swami Vivekananda's "Raja Yoga". I'm more of a Zennist. Thought and knowledge are overrated. Study and cultivation of awareness is where it's at.

I think I've always kind of known awareness was important, but never tried to compare its importance vs thought and knowledge so directly.

  Thoughts and knowledge are part of the illusion according to many schools of Indian philosophy. I last read it in Ramana Maharshi's book. I also read the same in Zen koans when Hofstadter wanted to push the same in GEB. I think I also got the same impression from ZMM.
