Could human thought be a barrier against our true nature?

Question

My name is Ghislain, I am 20, and I am fascinated by human behavior, thought, and philosophy. I would like you to help me answer these questions:
—Could human thought be a barrier against our true nature?
—Why is thought only a chain of questions and answers, always ending at what we are willing to know?
—If so, is nonthinking the very origin of human thought? Thank you in advance.

Answer from Master Kosen

To the extent that it is used without control, human thought can become a barrier against our true nature. Nonthinking is the origin of the thought of the Buddhas.
