It's really hard to clear the mind of those intrusive thoughts. Really hard. That's actually, pretty advanced stuff. One thing I've found helps me out is not to try. There's a book called Don't Think About Purple Elephants. Long story as to how this book became relevant to me, but the point is you can't not think about purple elephants.
I've learned to just accept that when I purify, I'm pure. That's it. The symbolism of physically being clean has its reflection in the unseen world whether I think about it or not. I found that the more I believed that, the less purple elephants were an issue.
