Default thought experiment

Imagine forgeting:
every word you know
any idea of a separate self
every emotion and feeling you ever felt
any opinions you have
and any concept of time;

What would be the nature of thought if it did not include these things? I believe that if we could eliminate these things from our "thoughts" our thoughts would become, pure tangible imagination - a living, lucid dream. Our imagination, dictated by pure thought, would create any reality that we could imagine.

Oh, I've been there. You can get there too. It's called meditation.
