Why the Vacant Mind is Important

Why the Vacant Mind is Important?
Foundation: One can only achieve perfection in advanced abilities like thought reading when he has "become the absolute master over his spirit and therefore over the life of his thoughts."
Access to the Akasha: The ability to work in the Akasha (the causal plane where all thoughts and events are recorded) requires complete mental mastery. Without control over your own thoughts, you cannot effectively read or work with the subtle mental impressions of the Akasha.
Control Over Subconscious Forces: Subconsciousness controls all subhuman forces in nature and is "always amenable to impressions originating at the self-conscious level." A vacant mind allows you to clear out chaotic thought patterns and deliberately impress the subconscious with chosen intentions rather than random mental noise.
Prerequisites for Visualization and Concentration: Before advancing to concentration exercises (visualizing objects), you must first master the ability to maintain mental vacancy for 10 minutes without forgetting yourself or falling asleep.
The vacant mind isn't about suppression, it's about achieving complete conscious control over the mental realm, which is the foundation for all work.
