Hi Andrej,

I think I had the same problem as you. When I was starting the 
first excercise I had trouble understanding it because I thought how 
can I have any train of thought unless I'm actively involved in 
making the train of thought? I don't see how any thoughts can appear 
in your mind without your participation or you thinking them which 
is active participation. So at the same time I couldn't understand 
how I could just be a observer of my thoughts if I had to make up 
those thoughts and so had to be actively involved. My problem was 
understanding how I could be detached without totally stopping the 
train of thoughts.
