If you stop putting awareness on objects you will go Houdini. 

“The decisive question for man is: Is he related to something infinite or not? That is the telling question of his life. Only if we know that the thing which truly matters is the infinite can we avoid fixing our interests upon futilities, and upon all kinds of goals which are not of real importance. Thus we demand that the world grant us recognition for qualities which we regard as personal possessions: our talent or our beauty. The more a man lays stress on false possessions, and the less sensitivity he has for what is essential, the less satisfying is his life. He feels limited because he has limited aims, and the result is envy and jealousy. If we understand and feel that here in this life we already have a link with the infinite, desires and attitudes change.” - Carl Jung

Yes, you can stop the mind. Hold your breath till you want to breathe, than hold it some more. No mind.

What do you think is the closest thing to you?  Your hand? Your face?  Your thoughts? The closest thing to you is always that what you put your attention on it. You see that building far away there?  As you look at it it's closer to you than your leg, when it's not in your awerness. The closest thing to you is what you are conscious of right now.
