not questioning the morality of...
not questioning the morality of your thoughts goes against what all those books are saying - what they’re stressing is the ability to recognize what thoughts are good for you (help you practically) and what thoughts are bad for you (hurt you practically), not what is moral or immoral in some sociovalue paradigm. Paradigms - which must exist in order to define morality/immorality - have no place in Buddhist philosophy.
