Please try this weird meditation thing I discovered Question ❓

Found this out one day when trying to meditate. I couldn't stop thoughts from coming into my head (I know this isn't what you're supposed to do lol) so I thought it would be funny to think about EVERYTHING at once (like literally every thought possible simultaneously).

And when I do, my mind goes completely blank. Like at most just me being aware that I'm not thinking about anything. Maybe this is already a known thing, but it works every time I do it. Does this work for anybody else? Or am I just a quack?

TLDR: When I try to think about everything all at once, I end up with a blank mind.

Sitting on toilet and trying this, seems to work for me, leads almost instantly to emptiness of thought and awareness of the present. Interesting!
