Yeah, its what you should do when you fight/spar.

I think I was close to reaching that state once Sun Tzu. It started by considering how the Big Bang bubble formed. I was trying to understand what it would mean if nothing existed. Nothing. I was thinking about how not even nothingness could exist because there would be nothing, not even the subjection of nothing. No absence of things; no white, or black, infinity; nothing. It felt strange. I know of mushin (mushin no shin; "mind of no mind"; its half of my signature ); I attempt to do it everytime I spar. But this was alot deeper than I've ever experienced. I felt empty, maybe not entirely, but close. I've tried using the same strategy, but it wasn't as effective. Maybe it's difficult because it must be gained through a new line of thought/discovery each time. I like this kind of medetation the most; big fan of the Zen
