    Dear Derek,

    >> Quick question on thought dicpline exercise. I find holding a train
    of thoughts quite easy and have none to only a couple distraction. When
    I change my point to repeating a single word over and over again my mind
    wanders like crazy. <<

    There really is no benefit in merely repeating a word over and over.
    That is not actual one-pointedness or thought control since there is no
    real thought involved. However, if with each repetition you penetrate
    to the meaning of the word and let the meaning of the word be your point
    of focus, it becomes a viable exercise.

    >> Do I need to master only one pointedness on the thought train (since
    this is what Bardon says to do) or do I need be able to do both thought
    train and repetition before I move on to emptiness? <<

    Do as Bardon instructs (thought, idea or train of thoughts). Mere
    repetition is fruitless.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
