Dear David,

>> Speaking of applying one pointedness to every day life, what should I
do when I go to sleep (and actually try to fall asleep)? Whenever I try
to concentrate at that time - I can't fall asleep. In order to fall
asleep I need to let my mind wander, so I find it difficult to apply
Bardon's suggestion at bed time. <<

:) Well then, if you want to sleep then the thing to do is concentrate
on letting your mind wander.

>> Or perhaps we are not supposed to apply one pointedness at that
particular time? <<

Or perhaps apply it differently. It sounds like you are trying to *do*
or *control* instead of focusing upon what *is*. If sleep requires
letting go of a controlling concentration (i.e., a type of concentration
which doesn't allow for your mind to wander), then that's obviously an
inappropriate form of concentration to apply when you wish to drift off
to sleep.

My best to you,
:) Rawn Clark
