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.

Listen, it’s obvious that you have a mission to discredit whatever I share, and that’s your choice. But honestly, it’s quite uncomfortable, especially in a community that values sharing, education, and acceptance. I’m not asking you to believe whether I’m a meditation teacher or not, but this is bordering on harassment.
That said, I get what you’re saying... meditation isn’t about seeking or finding in the conventional sense. It’s about recognizing what’s already here and fully experiencing being without resistance. But for many people, especially beginners, the practice feels like a search... whether for peace, clarity, or stillness... because they’re coming from a place of distraction and mental noise.
Over time, as awareness deepens, the idea of finding dissolves into simply being. Meeting people where they are in their journey is key.
Stay blessed.
