We can't entirely rid ourselves of thought, because it serves a limited biological function. But we can live without being trapped in thought, or "run" by it. This larger comprehensive order that isn't run by thought is what we are encountering. The mind that comprehends thought without being run by it can't really be named "mind" until we realize everything that thought makes is a simulacrum. Knowing this, the word becomes a rheomode style metaphor, that calls attention to the difference between the word and the reality. Then we can use the word "mind" to metaphorically signify contact with an order that is free of thought, but capable of using it still.
