i don't know how you can be completely thoughtless. if you were, you'd be thinking about being thoughtless and that's still a thought. i'm not sure if you can be thoughtless in your sleep. i mean, sometimes you don't dream right? you just seem to black out or something. or when you DO black out! you don't really think of much then...

No, we are always thinking, even if its not at a conscious level. No matter how much you try and clear your mind, thought patterns will still be passing through you, through neurons and nerves. So even if you believe yourself to be thoughtless, subconscious thoughts will be constantly there.

Yes. But first you have to cease identifying with thought.

It is the very nature of our species to think. Without it we would cease to exist.

Yes, but we wouldn't remember it afterwards!
You would have to be in a coma or under general anaesthetic.

well i see what ur saying and i agree. I think that when someone says that though, they are speaking about making hastily made decisions; speaking before one thinks about what they are saying.

Certainly we can learn to " empty " our minds through meditation. It's amazing!
