No.
"Stop thinking" is merely to permit the mind do its thing, but to not indulge into its thing. An illustration: You can permit your eye to see, but you should not indulge into the object of the seeing. Mind you, the mind and the other 5 senses of yours are termed in the Buddhist tradition as "Thieves" simply because they impose your mind over your true nature, the so called "Clear Light".
So, to simply permit your ideas to pass on like the waves of a shallow rough river, will do; permit each wave to pass through your mind, and do not permit your mind to feed them. You are the master of your mind, the mind should not be the master of you. This is known as "Thinking not, sitting quietly, doing nothing".
