Empty mind again

["votangreen" <votangreen@...>]

Dear Mr. Clark.

I read through those papers but it is still a bit unclear to me.
I can shut down the trains and the labelling of observances but then 
the pictures arise and distract instead. Like someone here who had 
practiced raja-yoga said. Just like turning on tvchannels and whatch 
unknown people and places. I suppose I identify "mind" as much with 
thinking as with attention. To me an empty mind would be a mind 
devoid of labelling, trains and fixed in quiet, still emptyness. 
(the word fixed doesnt quite please me in this context since it is 
neighbour to "rigid" but...well).
The mind can be empty of thoughs but still have an attention that 
goes all over the place? To me that seems to be the case at the 
moment. 

respectfully yours
