  But Nirvana is real. Close your eyes and try and think of nothing. That's Nirvana. Close enough, at least.

    That's easy, what's with the mind altering substances? I've never seen the need; it isn't hard to get into a state of semi sleepiness and drift off somewhere in your imagination.

      I am talking about having absolutely no thought in your mind, conscious or otherwise. How long can you hold yourself like that before you think of anything?

        Depends on my mood, but I've definitely reached "nirvana" for long periods of time. It is especially easy if I'm out in nature. The second sentence just refers to the use of mind altering drugs in general. I've done things that cause my mind to drift off without my control, and to drift off under my control, and I prefer the latter.

        How can you know whether you have unconscious thoughts in your mind?
        • rms 19y ago
          You can't.
