While
it might be so that things exist that are outside the possibility of
intellectual understanding, if that is where they are then that is where
they are and we have no basis for making assertions about them.
An example that comes to my mind is free will. If it exists (and
personally I think it does but would never assert it other than as a
hypothetical), then it cannot be random and cannot be determined, and
those are the only ways things can happen (events either have a prior
cause or they do not).
I understand and practice meditation, and have done the "empty mind"
(shutting down the intellect and the train of thought) meditation
successfully. An empty mind is an empty mind, at rest and peaceful but
still empty.
