Alcohol, gambling, smoking, sex, drugs, loud music, driving fast, watching television, watching NASCAR, Zen Buddhism, speaking in tongues, and many more self-destructive ways of blanking out and destroying the one and only thing that makes you human: your reasoning mind.

Try this.
Sit in a cool still quite place.
Relax your musclues and allow your eyes to lose focus.
Notice your thoughts, what you are doing now, what you did in the past, what you will do in the future and place them to one side.
Listen to the noise of your brain working. Allow it to get softer and softer until you can not hear it anymore.
Stay like this for a few minutes. You have now been in a thoughtless 'trance' for a few minutes.
I use the word trance because it is the only word that I can use to discribe it. It is not however like a hipnotic state, you are in complete control at most times and in partial control for the rest.
This however is not easy to do and will take alot of practice to master.
Hope this helps.

Spend your time watching American Idol, MTV, VH1, Charmed, The E Channel, etc. = Thoughtless State.
