Dear Vovin, >> My method of keeping the mind focused upon the topic when I ran out of thoughts relating to it, while waiting for new ideas to come up, was to mentally repeat "Root of laziness" to myself as to shut other thoughts out. My question is this: Is this a correct way of doing this, or am I missing something? << Sounds good to me but I think the more important question is, did it work for *you*? That's really the final test. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 30 Jan 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis
