Who ever mentioned anything about repressing thoughts? Quieting the mind does not mean repressing feelings. Observe the thoughts when they arise, but do not judge. This is nothing new.

That's very different from what you wrote:

> repress your thoughts

(I suspect you have to me extremely odd ideas about what meditation is, and why try it. I wonder if you'd actually like it)

Well, you're wrong.

They said "Quieting the mind"

And just by a vague guess, chances are I have far more experience with meditation and meditators than you do. Now are you going to open your mind, doubt your thoughts, and confirm, or are you content to simply quiet them and move onto the next victim?
