It seems like it is The mind that conducts the search. The mind is engaged by the organism to solve the problem of spiritual alienation/disconnection from Source. It accepts the task and looks in memory to see whether it has been solved before, and if not, searches externally to find more data, as it does for any other problem it is asked to solve. It finds quotes by gurus, practises, and in the case of Niz, the idea that one can end the search by trusting that one is already what is sought. It parades these posssible solutions before the organism to see if there is any that fits the particular character it serves, and if resonance happens, the head is in the Tiger's mouth, and there can be a process of consolidating that resonance and the search ends. For example the process of consolidation could be to include all as Onenss manifest, including any disliked problems/suffering, so that the process is completed and consolidated.
If this is the nature of the search then it is not a matter of limiting the mind, but recognizing that its role as descibed here is beneficial. It may even be that the mind has the capacity to resonate, and without it, there can be no resonance. Niz was asked "What discovers?", he replied "The Mind".
The Mind is a tool which can be utilised for benefit or suffering (For example if the character has been conditioned to believe that it is unworthy, then Mind may select suffering in life, rather than benefits). Not to recognise this would be to the detriment of the organism

If there is a something to protect, defend, support, free, seeking, believing then there is a mind. Something that thinks this is good or bad. If there is belief in its existence, then there are constraints, limits, needless suffering. When this belief is done, it does not mean there is an end to thinking, dancing, elephant-ing, fearing, sadding, angering or that these are not real or that "person, woman, man, camera, TV" are not perhaps the greatest utterances in the history of mankind and a mark of true genius.
It's like a country. Show me on the earth, the actual ground, an actual, not man-made border between Wales and England. It doesn't exist. This notion of countries is in our heads, same as the notion of a me.
