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.
