Matt,
I really like the idea of metacognition. I'm am quite familliar with both CBT and Tibetan Buddhist Mindfulness meditation. I think if you read H. H. The Dalai Lama's book "Transforming the Mind" you'd find he was describing metacognition - though not in those words of course.
Training the mind is a lifetime opportunity. I have found incredible changes in my perspective and life experience through "watching my mind".
Your writing is impressive. I haven't read much of this thread. I am new here, but I just needed to comment on your discovery of "secular buddhism". That's what I feel like in my life mostly, a secular jewish/buddhist. Mindfullness meditation and practice has really changed my world. I've delt with manic-depression for over almost 30 years, so I had a lot to work with!
