    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 a sitcom 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 mirror items so thats why its

    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.
