Yes, while I love usng my mind, and enjoy being active and creative on all levels. But why wouldn't you enjoy using the mental aspect, which can be seen as given you as a gift from God, and something you have worked hard to make into what it is now?
You could also say neither are inherently wrong or right and that it's just a different approach. But keep in mind the Buddhic path is just one road to enlightenment and people become enlightened within all traditions. I'm just starting to wish we would co-operate more instead of using most of our energies to argue and try to "win" over each other (no one really wins that way anyway).
Keeping to one path, and maybe especially one as limited as Buddhism, would just be too limiting for me. It cuts out large chunks of life which can be very enjoyable and also used as paths to enlightenement. You can also reach the same place (one of the inner initiations) with an active mind providing you use it the right way. I think this approach was thought of as a substitute for humanity's bad habits in life, maybe. At least it entails rejecting the world, human life, and our nature to a high degree.
