What would a whole day of not thinking feel like?

Question

i mean would we even feel? if we cant think can we feel? would we be happy or sad or just blah?

have u ever though about this b 4 or am i crazy to think about stuff like this?

Answer 1

It wouldnt feel like anything.  Feeling requires thinking.  And even if it didnt, one still has to think in order to perceive and process feeling.

Answer 2

Just blah. I've done that before and IT SUCKS. It was so terrible, I couldn't feel, I couldn't be that sad but there was still this aching I had to be able to be sad. It was the worst day of my life. You don't feel, you're just blah, and it sucks.

And no, you're not crazy, you're just right on the money. Right on and keep thinking about good questions like this one! :-)

Answer 3

Go to a BNP meeting, there'll be people there who can tell you what a lifetime without intellectual thought is like.

Answer 4

Yes, you are crazy to think about stuff like this.

Answer 5

it's not possible.

Answer 6

That would be death.  You don't feel, physically or emotionally.

Answer 7

Asleep

Answer 8

I think it would feel pretty bad, I mean, a whole day without having any kind of thoughts in our head? Or maybe it would feel dull and pointless where you have thoughts but they don't excite you. sometimes not thinking is good because you wouldn't have to think about anything, therefore you're not looking for a solution to some problem and you don't have to think about anything that's not there at the moment.

Answer 9

I've had that happen to me when I took Lithium.  I hated it.  I thought about stuff, but only shallow thoughts and I was uninterested in everything.  It sucks to be blah. No you're not crazy at all.

Answer 10

It would probably be the most amazing day, and to answer your question, yes, I think about this a lot and I have been trying to obtain the process of no thought, as it is a helpful tool of in-depth meditation. When you are not thinking or feeling then you are just existing which means there is no distractions, illusions or desires to keep us from experiencing real life as it is without human interference. Although I wonder sometimes if it is possible to do it for an entire day but I have managed a couple minutes of complete vacancy of thought and it is really wonderful to just feel life.

Answer 11

Nothing.  Thoughts, body, and feelings are connected.  Get rid of any of these three and the rest disappear as well.

Which isn't to say you would not be able to experience nature, for your consciousness would still exist.  You just would not be able to feel.

Answer 12

yup your definitely crazy to even think of something like this. It is totally impossible to go a whole day w/o thinking if so you would be dead!

Answer 13

You are not crazy.

A whole day of not thinking feels like heaven, nirvana, peace and wholeness.

Thinking is one thing, but when the mind just runs wild that is not thinking - that is just mindless, confusing chatter that never stops and unless one decides to stop the chatter one is doomed to never know what it is to just think.

Very difficult but possible.

Answer 14

I think about stuff like that all the time!

like how would you feel if you were in a coma and stuff

and what if all of a sudden you woke up and you had been dreaming what was going to happen for a week then you wake up and live your dream...but you were really sleeping and it just went on and on

or if you are dead and you are in a coffin and you are aware of everything that is going on but you can't cry for help

Answer 15

My day would be empty.It's like I'm not existing,that's impossible.
