    This is actually a practical question regarding Step 1, Mastery of
    Thoughts. I can sit for 5 minutes and have 6-8 thoughts. Typically
    these thoughts will be sentence like "be vigilant!" or "the trick is
    not to follow the thought" i.e. comments or self-questions on my
    progress. Lots of background noise pops up - voices, words, random
    images, the occasional memory. I figure if I quash these and don't
    pursue them, they don't count as a thought, so I don't count them on
    my beads. So if an image of an eye (or anything) spontaneously pops
    into my consciousness, and I dismiss it, I don't count it. In fact I
    count only memories I pursue or sentences I let complete (and some of
    them are pretty fast) as thoughts. Is this acceptable, or should I be
    striving for complete blankness, with nothing emerging spontaneously?
    Is this even possible?

    Thanks for any comment on this.

    Regards Tony W.
