samma-sankappa (Right Thought)
upekka
Veteran
as far as i know there is a difference between Right Thought and Noble Right Thought
one is on Noble Eightfold path only after one gains the Noble Right View
before this happens if one practices eightfold path that is to gain the Noble Right View and during that period one has right view and one can say that is worldly right view
even if one is with Noble Right View but not Enlightened and fall back to worldly right view we can say one is with right thought but not Noble Right Thought
during the meditation (or any time) when a thought comes into mind one can reminds (right effort) the mind that is a wrong thought/worldly thought (perception or feeling)
if one can do this, can we say 'the reminding moment and the next moment (next few moments)' are without vacci sankhara (kamma formation)?

Noble Right View is nothing more than the actual awakened state of the mind that sees the truth in every moment, not needing to think or grasp at words and thoughts. It's simply this way.
if one is with Noble Right View we can say one is practising Noble Eight fold path
then one has to straighten one's thought
if one's thought is straighten, one's word, deed and livelihood would be straight
(please think (contemplate) a bit and see how far the above statement can be correct and if not why)
during this time, one has to work on one's thought and one's thought occurs according to one's past through one's six sense bases
(please think (contemplate) again a bit whether the arising consciousness has something to do with our past (kamma and kamma-vipaka)etc.)
i greatly appreciate anyone's response, no matter advanced practisners or beginners
thanks
