Question: Have you watched the movie "I HEART Huckabees"!?
In the movie there's a scene, where they both hit each other with a giant rubber ball on their faces, and stop thinking! does it work!? I mean is it possible for a person to just stop thinking and just "be"!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Yes,
What they are trying to mimic is meditation!. Meditation is the deliberate attempt to stop any mind activity from happening and just experience sensory input without judging it as anything!. The difference is that they require a balloon, whereas meditators don't need anything external to meditate!.
The black bag that Albert goes into is also a meditation!.
The whole movie has strong Buddhist implications to it!. Excellent movie!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes it is possible!.!.!.

for example if you ride an extreme ride by yourself!. for a moment you are lost in a euphoric adrenaline rush!.

read 'peace is every step' for ways to stop using rationality and just 'be!.'

does a rubber ball work!? no i don't think so :P

I hated that movie by the way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

perhaps for a split second, its funny but its point is to ditract you from all the thoughts you have in your head!. Sometimes you can see someone staring off in space but you can tell even then that their mind isn't anywhere either!. Its possible!. It happens to me sometimes when im exhausted!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ask the Buddhy!.!.!.
