Nope. "Thoughtless state" actually means that the tendency to label, categorise, classify, associate and link has shut down (or temporarily gone on hold).
That's why your awareness & perception expands, and you feel more alive than before. Everything is fresh and new and wonderful.
I'd explain further, but really what is the point. It's like explaining the feeling of sex to a virgin. It's the old problem of the map not being the territory; and things and their descriptions. I can give you the description but what you really want is the thing itself.
Can't help you there ....
