    Dear Geoffrey,

    >> But I think the problem is the word *aware*. I am not asleep in the
    sense that if someone suddenly open the door I will know. But I cannot
    say that I am fully awake because everything is blank. Even I do not
    know what I am doing. Can be so called "aware"? <<

    Yes, it sounds like it to me. It's not a "normal" state of awareness,
    but it is awareness.

    >> Regarding the one pointedness after I return from emptiness, what I
    focus upon? should I focus upon the period I went into emptiness in the
    sense that the blank there will become meaningful thoughts? Did I get
    it right? <<

    I suggest that you experiment with various methods. What you describe
    will work if you observe the very first thoughts that arise in your mind
    upon exiting the emptiness and make those specific thoughts the object
    of your one pointedness. Another option is to begin with a one
    pointedness (upon whatever you wish) and then go directly into an
    emptiness. When you feel complete with your emptiness, return to the
    previous one pointedness and take careful note of how your one point has
    changed. Any differences you notice will be evidence of what you gained
    from the emptiness, impressing itself upon the realm of thought.

    >> Btw, is there any music I can listen to improve my path in hermetics
    while in the office? <<

    Not that I know of.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
