I guess I’d say that when thinking gets too intense for your mind’s environment, do you start thinking really hard about something that might seem like less thinking because you’re being fed the thought?
When lifting weights gets too intense for your body’s environment, do you go to the next room and start dancing to cool off?
...does that relate them well enough?
Considering that this is an observation of an experience as it applies to the process of “abstraction in the highest”, I think perhaps some abstraction in your path to understanding can be helpful.
Don’t think too hard. In fact, sit on the floor for a while. :)
