Hi Rick,
When you are thinking, the mind is scattered. When the mind is scattered there is no samadhi (concentration). When there is no samadhi, there can be no insight (panna).

Yes, and in that, verbalization is not "annihilated."rowyourboat wrote:Hi Rick,

Some verbalisation may even be helpful if used 'skillfully' -the counting of the breath in samatha and noting (again really in samadhi practice), in 'vipassana'.
