Hmm. I have exactly the same condition as Oliver, and I wonder - for 
the third exercise, should I eliminate those "deep" thoughts as well, 
so that I will be left with a _completely_ empty mind, and not just 
an empty _surface_ mind?
If I indeed should get rid of them, how exactly? I know how to quiet 
down my surface thoughts, but how can I quiet thoughts that I'm not 
even fully aware of unless I actively try to bring them up?
I'm rather sure that I'll need a _fully_ quiet mind at some point..

P.S
This is my first post to this message board, hopefully the first of 
many fruitful ones. I have to thank you, Rawn, for your commentaries. 
They truly shed light on many parts of Bardon's work which were 
naturally in the dark for one, like myself, who has just began the 
work.
