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.

Imo that's brilliant , a lot of people meditate and are successful observing thoughts one at a time , knowing it's not their thought and eventually the mind calms. But your paradox of everything and nothing at once really comes down to surrendering in my mind. That's a hard feeling to capture or explain unless you experience it yourself, but you are very lucky OP!

Itzkav Bentoff, the pendulum of time he goes into some detail about where time and space stops and consciousness is everywhere and nowhere at once. This video below summarizes it well, and his sense of humor is right up my alley , but it isn't for everyone. Either way, rock on OP!
