> opens you up to the ability to quite literally witness the formation of thoughts from subtle nothingness.

I may not have been sufficiently charitable in reading this, but this appears to be either butchering the English language, or utter tripe.

It is hard to explain so kindly forgive the butchering. But there was a point in my meditation where everything was perfectly still and calm, and suddenly, I don't quite know how to explain it, a thought formed in my mind. It is not a thought in the tautological sense, where one idea flowed to the next, but it arose from a state of nothingness.

At the same time it couldn't be nothing, because how can something (a thought) come from nothing. It wasn't quite gross enough to be perceivable hence I termed it subtle nothingness..

Elaborate. Often ideas you are not ready for will seem like nonsense.
