Our culture in the US is steeped in "good and bad", black and white - not race but solid opinions with no grey areas, judging everything all the time, so even in meditation the tendency will come up to judge the experience. It's helpful to become un-opinionated I have found, even though I may be judged for that! I love the idea however of folding the thoughts back into attention so that I can learn from them by paying attention rather than supressing or ignoring. With gratitude.
