In my experience I use Dhamma thoughts to get me into deeper states _faster_ . One of my tricks is to start a meditation session with a thought of wisdom… the thought could come naturally depending on what I contemplated earlier or I could fabricate it depending on what I want to meditate on that day. For example, if I want to do Letting Go meditation & experience Non-Self I would think “So the Buddha had entered Nibbana and _probably_ all my greatest loved ones had as well… so what I’m here for?” And that thought will act like a catalyst enabling the mind to surf its way into deeper states with Equanimity… during that same session if I feel like incorporating compassion into the recipe then I will initiate wise thoughts of compassion… which if compassion was my strength which it is then the combination of “themes” could get me to higher quality states of Equanimity... I learned this trick from a Thai monk Luangpor Thoon who founded Wat San Fran temple in California, he said “Thoughts open paths” in a document named “Methods of Training Wisdom” I think
