I think Couples is getting at what Ben Doyle talks about when he says
"Conscious thought anoys Sub-Conscious thought."
The best thing you can do is employ conscious thought to restrict non-conscious thought. That is the essence of Carey's teachings. But if you try to keep your mind "clear" or you attempt to "think of nothing", then your non-conscious will more often than not disrupt your stroke.
Here's a suggestion for people who have trouble with their brains on a golf course Try singing during your swing. It might annoy your playing partners, but it gives you a sense of rhythm and will also distract your conscious mind just enough to allow your true golf swing to emerge.

In the summer of 1969, I was playing in the Tactical Air Command Championship at MacDill AFB in Tampa, Florida. It was hot, and it was sticky. And everybody on our team got a first class case of...I'll be delicate here...diaper rash.
I decided to use -- remember I was only 22 at the time -- Absorbine Junior on mine.
an old guy i play with at the club who knew freddies first wife and freddie years back, once told me freddie has the inteligence of a broken tee. freddie is one of my favorite golfers but it is true alot of good golfers are just doing there normal athletic swing they have always had since they started that swing just happens to be really good
