You replied:

train of thoughts, <<

While the analysis from someone who has not actually experienced the
exercise might make more sense to you it is still, nonetheless, wrong.

As I have said countless times:
Observe *whatever* happens in your mind when you detach from
participating in what transpires in your mind. If all thoughts cease
because you have detached from participation, then observe *that*. When
you are able to be detached and observe *whatever* happens for a span of
at least 10 minutes, then you have "mastered" the exercise.

It is a *very* simple exercise!

My best to you,
