Age old question, unanswerable. Any answer implies logical associations of mental objects. Since "nothing" implies the lack of mental, or any kind of, objects, logic cannot apply. About the best we can do is stop thinking, but any a-hole in a trailer eating froot-loops and watching Jerry Springer can do that.

Consciousness prevails thru births and deaths and is not without awareness and thought.

You can still the mind, and observe thoughts and no thoughts.

nice words.... but still not correct! The physics of the space that the brain/mind reside in do not allow for this.... not yet
