    I would also like to ask now whether I'm on the right track with this
    exercise!

    It seems to me that the entire first three steps concern the ability not to
    be distracted or sidetracked. I feel vacancy of mind at least partly concerns
    noticing that thoughts arise as energies within the soul-body which wish to
    have a voice. When I notice these energies-about-to-be-thoughts, I can stop
    them before they become thoughts. Eventually I feel they will know when they
    are wanted and when not, and then I can turn my attention away from them
    altogether, or not as I choose.

    Since my body is relaxed I can ignore it, and since my soul is calm and
    smooth it produces no thoughts either. Taking the mind as the spritual plane,
    it
    seems one is attempting to feel what it is like purely to be on that level and
    to forget the fact that I normally use the mind to focus on feelings and on
    my body and solving their problems. Does this seem right? thanks, Jason
