I noticed that hanging sentence, but it is what it is at this point.
Quieting your mind with meditation should cut down on mental chatter.
I particularly like his emphasis on a small area of attention from which your best vision will come from. But instead of trying to limit your attention to a small area (which I think is what many people try to do in applying this concept), it’s a subtle but important mental shift to expecting the clearest details to only come from a small area. A subtle change like that can change your whole habit of looking at things to something in congruence with the physiology.

I think I read this before. There is an unfinished sentence at the top of page 9.
There is an awful lot of good material in here (as you say) and much of it chimes with what you have put into your own method (I have read the new version of that and, on the whole, it is an improvement – I am still thinking about it).
One thing that sticks out in my mind just now is how, under stress, visual imagination is replaced by verbal activity (I think he mentions this in relation to worry or anxiety). In my own experience when practising imagination the loss of attention takes the form of verbal ‘interruption’, as it were.
