Re: [BardonPraxis] The first excercise

[Justin B <devilsgoatee@...>]

Hello Ardeshir!
 
Lets see if i get what your asking. Your doing the exercise of thought 
observance. You sit/lay down, relax and prepare to do the practice. No thoughts 
appear to you if you don't start them and keep them going? No thoughts on work, 
relationships, cutting the grass, bills, politics, pets..etc? These thoughts in 
a everyday life stroll through or pop in like a neighbor in asitcom and leave 
just the same unless you grab hold of one and pay it attention. ALL thoughts 
are from the ether, NONE are *yours*. Based on you development and karma you 
*receive* thoughts which are of the same grade. So the true state of mind is 
pure emptiness. The exercise calls for you to sit and observe, akin to watching 
the clouds pass or a stream flow by. If one, two, three, fifty... thoughts roll 
in, observe them and thats it! If no thoughts come in then your mind is vacant. 
Just observe and be aware. Now as a useful side note thoughts that appear more 
than once are likely soul mirroritems so thats why its
important to recall them after the exercise.
 
Is this what your needing to know? Hope it clarifies. Bardon gives such amazing 
descriptions of the exercises, it seems like one can read them 20 times and get 
a little more out of them each time. Best of luck to you.

But if anyone can give me a specific clarification of my problem 
with the first excercise I would appreciate it. My problem is that 
I don't see how we can have a train of thought without being 
actively involved in imagining it, so then I don't understand how we 
can be detached from a train of thought when a train of thought 
requires active participation in imagining it. Thanks for your help.
