Hello Mark,
Good to see you posting again!
I have noticed these similarities as well. You have done a very good job here. I have always thought of CBT as a sort of secular-spiritual journey (since I'm not really a believer in any particulary religion).
Dr. David Burns also has noted some of the similarities between CBT and Buddhism. If you surf around on his website, www.feelinggood.com (really hard site to navigate, but I think it's under his answers to questions on religion). He also details similarities between Buddhism (as well as other religions) in his book "Ten Days to Self Esteem".
Great to hear from you again, and thanks for your thoughtful post.
Best,
Matt
