Can you keep a blank or empty mind?

[MementoMori777]

Okay so try extremely hard to keep an empty mind for 1 full minute, if you fail, mention the thoughts below, don't cheat, if you cheat I'll be very disappointed in you I guess 😂

Brilliant question. I read a book on this. (several books) The amazing Kreskin

Could silence his mind, and hear a needle drop during one of his shows. For years he claimed to have ESP. He later said we all have it, but it's all about training our minds. He denounced extra sensory perception, and called it extraordinary perception, because we can all do it. They say we only use at best, 10 percent of our brain. So it makes you wonder what we could do with the other 90%.

[MementoMori777]

Yea I've heard about the percentage we use of our brains, that shit is crazy

I read about a Yogi that could ride on a busy subway car, and filter out all sound. It will probably take a couple of thousand years for us to tap into all of our mental abilities, but it will eventually happen. I read that aging is a choice. There's no scientific reason for aging. It's more of a programmed destiny for population control.

[MementoMori777]

I dont think its going to happen, humanity is devolving, just cause our technology is advancing it doesn't mean we are, they are poisoning our food, air, maybe even products, who knows what other ways they got lol

[MementoMori777]

Not only that aging Is what it is, everything gets old even things that aren't alive, they eventually even stop working, what makes you think we are any different

Every 27 days you get brand new skin. So why the wrinkles? It's a programmed phenomena.
The Earth doesn't have enough resources to feed us all, so we need to die.

[MementoMori777]

No you don't, you just shed a layer of the same skin you've been using since you were born, it's the same skin, I have acne scars, wish I didn't, should i wait for my new skin?

[MementoMori777]

🤣🤣

No one's mind can be ever empty, never. Accept that. Instead try to replace it with something like positive thoughts. For me, my mind is always filled with my favourite songs and instrumental pieces unless I'm trying to think of something. No one can keep a blank or empty mind, it only happens when you're utterly shocked.

[MementoMori777]

My mind is empty right now tho

[Apulu_Imback]

No, it is not. If it was empty then you won't have been thinking that it's empty.

[MementoMori777]

I'm thinking of empty not that it's empty

[Apulu_Imback]

Yeah, it can never be empty.

[MementoMori777]

I know I was messing with you🤣 wow it's easy being delusional and just claiming stuff lol

[Apulu_Imback]

I was like, no way! That's not possible! Lol 😂

[Still-alive]

its a struggle but you can --almost- get it empty through meditation. i tried it before.

[MementoMori777]

Yea just wanted to see how retards live I guess

[MementoMori777]

Almost isn't empty tho 😆

[MementoMori777]

Something always sneaks in lol

[Apulu_Imback]

@Still-alive through meditation you try to concentrate about your mind itself. It seems like the mind becomes empty during meditation because the mind is looking for things inside itself. The unknown thoughts fly away when you start concentrating strongly in yourself, your soul and mind. So yes, it doesn't removes thoughts, you're right. But then it won't be considered a blank mind, because your mind is still working on concentrating on itself. So yes, we can say mind becomes partially empty when the mind starts focusing on itself.

I started to think of the lyrics to The One by Elena Seigman, "All my life I've been debating. All the crows, they sit there waiting. Wondering what I'm going to eat. Until I have it. I can't sleep".

[MementoMori777]

Okay so you just got a song stuck in your head, fair enough lol

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Yep.

[clampfan101]

My mind refuses to shut up until I fall asleep.

[MementoMori777]

Been there, it's why the challenge is only 1 minute lol

[clampfan101]

How would I time myself without thinking about the timer? lol

[MementoMori777]

Well you gotta set the timer before you start trying not to think 😂

[Guy13]

Nope.

[MementoMori777]

Rejecting to participate, didn't think of that one, finesse 😌☝️
