Dear Maximiliano, >> Now one last thing: what counts as an interruption?? << Okay, with the passive observation exercise ("Thought Control"), any time you *participate in* your thoughts and lose your status as *passive observer*, this counts as an interruption. With the second mental exercise of one-pointedness ("Thought Discipline"), any time that you participate in thoughts that do not pertain to your chosen focus and you become distracted from your point of focus, this counts as an interruption. With the third mental exercise of Emptiness or Vacancy of Mind, any time that thoughts arise in your mind, this counts as an interruption. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 17 Jan 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis
