    Dear Geoffrey,,

    >> Now, I am confused. :) From what I understand from Bardon's book in
    the Emptiness of Mind, is that I should resist with all my strength from
    thoughts are coming in. I think there is a line where it is stated
    somethign like that. Rawn, did I understand Bardon correctly? <<

    You have understood Bardon correctly. I think the confusion is rooted
    in the fact that Pedro's comment was in reference to the *passive
    observer exercise*, not the emptiness of mind.

    >> Whenever a thought arises, I just shift my focus out of it by not
    thinking of it - "not attached
    to it". And later on the thought just disappear because no thinking
    process is being given to it. And of course, another thought will come
    in, and I just do it again. Shifting my focus out. But by doing this, I
    don't care about the thoughts coming in. So I don't think even
    meaningful thoughts will come in. Because I shift out of the thoughts
    everytime. <<

    That is the absolutely correct way to do it! :)

    >> And just a question too, is there a maximum length to be devoted to
    the Emptiness of Mind exercise everyday (like 30 minutes?)? <<

    No, there is no maximum. Bardon states a minimum of 10 minutes,
    uninterrupted, in order to pass Step One, but doesn't state a maximum.
    The emptiness is a very benign state and not harmful in large doses. :)

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
