forty-two

I got an answer with no question one time. I was sitting around not being able to sleep, feeling highly spacey and gone, and allowing my thoughts to meander about in my head unsupervised, when I happened upon something in there I'd never run across before, and which I couldn't look at directly, so to speak. In the midst of prodding at whatever this was sort of sideways out of the corner of my mind's eye, I came up with my questionless answer. I also became fairly convinced I was losing my mind for awhile, but I was okay once I finally managed to sleep.
So the answer is: There's no answer. Or, somewhat more accurately, 'The trick is there is no trick.'

What that happens to be the trick to, I don't know, but I bet it's cool, whatever it is. You can also replace "trick" with "secret" or something. It didn't show up exactly in words, more of a non-verbal concept-construct. I think the most literal rendering would be something like "The mental confound that prevents you seeing through the mindfuck is the fact that you're trying to figure out how to see through the mindfuck."

Which seems fairly straightforward until you try to decide what to do about it.
Any input would be most appreciated.
