Try to think about nothing


I’ve had a look at the PostADay prompt for today’s topic, as my mind is once again in the Nothingness Dimension. I really think that my mind loves visiting that dimension as it tends to go there very often.

So, today’s prompt is about some food that I have always wanted to try. Now, I love food, but this prompt didn’t help, although I have always wanted to try chilli chocolate for some strange reason. Hardly enough for an excellent blog post. Or even a very bad one for that matter. Never mind.

I also had a look at yesterday’s prompt while I was there, and it was ‘close your eyes and try thinking about nothing’.

I don’t need to close my eyes and think very hard with that one.

My mind is like the inside of a huge cave, with no lights and no sounds. An eternal, peaceful nothingness which is really very relaxing.

It’s also like looking at a part of the night sky where there aren’t any stars visible.

I feel like I’m looking into a great distance and there is nothing blocking my view – but there is also nothing to see as well.

If I keep looking, I know that I will see something eventually.

A tiny spark.

A star.

A comet.

A planet.

Mars.

Yes, I can see Mars. Well, I could see Mars – I’ve now flown passed it. I’m flying out through the Solar System. At great speed too, I must add.

I’m now in a galaxy far, far away.

The Universe around me is different. No longer just black, but every colour. Stars are shining brightly. Nebulae are all around. Fantastic colours and swirls, one looks like a Seahorse. Another looks like a cube. And a third one… it looks like a man waving.

I’m now flying through another nebula. This one is simply a swirl of coloured gases, and where the gases merge together other colours and shapes appear.

I’ve now passed through this nebula, and I’m back in the empty blackness.

I’m back in my mind once again.

Wow. All that from thinking about nothing. I wonder where I could go if I seriously thought about something? There’s a saying that goes ‘The sky’s the limit’, but I think I could go further…

    Chilli chocolate?. Sir Aquatom, . Yukky!! Why waste a good chocolate taste by adding chilli, doesn’t bear thinking about, never mind tasting.. Mind you. ’tis only my h’pinion… being a self confessed chocoholic, … Which is why I hardly have any now, ‘cos once started…OOooo can’t stop!! Sorry, I know, one track minded, which brings me rather nicely to your topic, empty/blank mindedness….. I can do that…I can…Blank…not thinking of nothing, um.. not very good grammar I know… but nothing is relative innit, state of mind wise. Now I’ve gone back to chili choc. Even a blank mind can’t fight against chocolate thoughts… xPenx

      I know, Pen, chilli chocolate… what a strange notion! Still sounds interesting to me, only not as much as it did last night. My tastes must be changing! A blank mind is ideal when we need to go to sleep, but not so much to get the thoughts moving – although there is a lot of space there for the ideas to fill once they do start… and you’re right… my thoughts have returned to chilli chocolate again now.
