Thanks Vaj- great article. I watch my blank mind, yet haven't formally 'traveled' inside my thoughts until I read this. Like many techniques, this process of seeing thoughts as energy has occurred to me naturally, but there has been some doubt on how to proceed with examining thoughts until I read this. It has been a curious transformation to enjoy the blankness of my mind. One very cool result has been that rather than run thoughts around in my mind like a hamster on a wheel, I save up the latent energy of my mind until I need it, like just now answering an important phone call. Then each thought expressed as speech comes from a deeper more creative place. Much easier to be here, now.
