When you are asked to "clear your mind and think of nothing," this tends to be a very difficult feat to accomplish. Various images, thoughts, and "sounds" go flashing through your mind. The harder you try to think of nothing,
the harder it is to think of nothing. Based on your reading of the chapter, why is "clear your mind" such a paradoxical instruction? a. Because you are being given this instruction when you are surrounded by stimuli. Even if you close your eyes, the incoming information is impossible to block out. b.
