That's how it looks like of your mind was below your consciousness level, i.e. if your focus was on higher ideas, and you just commanded the mind to produce specific thoughts. That's similar to how we control our body. However you might be at the ideas level already, but unable to see those ideas, so it looks like darkness to you. I believe you shpuld be able to see thoughts again simply by persistently focusing your attention on them, just like you could (but shouldn't) control low-level body functions by switching attention to them. If your consciousness was focused on thoughts, you'd see something like a very active 3d whiteboard filled with fine shapes, that you can create, change and destroy at will.
