it requires thought to communicate, as accurately as is possible, what the experience is like. words don't do it justice. but while you are in that state, you are not 'thinking' bliss, peace, nothingness. you are experiencing it without thought.

i guess the irony is, that it is impossible to describe thoughtlessness without thinking about it...
