    Dear Chenxsi,

    >> Hmm...to be more specific, when i imagine a sound for 5 minutes,
    unrelated thoughts do appear sometimes, but my focus on hearing the
    imagined sound is never interrupted. Such distracting thoughts are
    banished immediately from my mind. Should unrelated thoughts ever
    appear in the first place? <<

    It can take a long time to get to the point where intruding thoughts
    never arise. The path to that moment is built from repeatedly managing
    such intruding thoughts in the manner you describe. Eventually, their
    arising and their banishment occur in the same instant, which is to say
    that, effectively, intruding thoughts don't arise.

    The main issue with intruding thoughts is that they do not interrupt
    your primary focus. It sounds to me like you're doing great! :)

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
