    Hi Geoffrey,

    This is unsolicited , with all due respect to all, I'd just like to
    add a little something. Just let it happen. From what I have learned,
    the idea of learning to "let go" of your thoughts is for us to learn
    not to end up forcing concepts and ideas into the practice to be able
    to get results. That was why he said "to be a silent observer". This
    is a natural tendency of a person in the study - to be expecting the
    results or effects of the practice. At this early stage, the student
    is likely to simulate experiences where later on in the study it
    might be the cause of a stagnation. I fell into the trap before when
    I was so eager to get results and be able to say something to my
    guide.

    Your thoughts will become more "meaningful" as you progress in the
    study.

    During this stage, just learn to focus and extend the duration of
    this focus. Breathing properly is of utmost importance.

    I hope I worded it properly that you got my point and that I was able
    to help you in any way.

    Did I get it right?
