but when we suddenly “awake” from that “blank” state, we are re-garthering our thoughts and once again taking control of it?
|
taking control might not be the best way to describe it. Maybe I am splitting hairs, but...
What control do we have over our thoughts ?
Do we actively think our thoughts, or do the thoughts come up out of nothing ?
Does our mind form thoughts ? Or do we watch them come up ?
The "leash" from my analogy might have given you this idea. But thought and self-image are not who you really are.

perhaps this is when our Being is regathering all of our thoughts and which eventually allows our Being to live in its purest form, as you mentioned!

Perhaps, in the beginning. When you just start meditation the connection with ego is so strong, that you can't imagine not being it.
At this stage, a person can still get depressed, and needs a therapist to get out of that.
As soon as the realisation comes that all thought is a re-action to life instead of action, and that ego doesn't exist, depression can't come anymore.
Depressed ? Who is depressed ? Me ? Ego ? Being ?
