I'm not really a fan of rationality and the rational mindset 
either. As far as imagining images is concerned I can see how you 
can have that without actively creating them, but not with verbal 
thoughts which you actually have to personally say/think.

I am still kind of confused about it because I don't see a train of 
thought as something that you can be detached from because of the 
fact that you're actively thinking it. I think Bardon wanted us to 
get into a train of thought and just be aware of it and remember it.
