    Thanks Rawn,

    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"?

    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?

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

    Thanks very much

    Regards,
    Geoffrey
