An empty mind is one that distinguishes itself from the thoughts passing thereof. The observer and observed distinguished and the role of the observer-consciousness touched.
An empty mind does not contain any thoughts not because there is no content but because the mind is not the content. The content continues to exist. The focus over time is able to situate itself in the observer of thoughts, the mind, which is already empty. It's not making something empty which is full, but discovering the emptiness that is already there beneath the depths of thought.
It takes time, it is like a journey. Every step will look different from the last and the destination will looking nothing like what was seen at the beginning.
You are not creating anything new, just finding what is already there beneath all the things that have layered upon it. The layers do not cease, you become aware of the eye of the storm.
