I suspect this feeling is the feeling which we experience when we reach that point of no-thought. The perceptual images which we normally think of as thought are quietened and all that is left is the perception of that persistent awareness of the state of our body. We're not usually aware of it because of the distraction our thoughts and perceptions cause. |
Yes there is something like that. It is like the final state (can anyone go beyond that?).
Because there are no "normal" thoughts we cannot see how time passes. We observe time by observing the continuity of our thoughts. If there are no thoughts to track it seems as if this moment is infinity. But there is always the awareness, the one-thought, yeah.
