Just toss it and go after what's true, not believed.

How do you determine what is True in a Reality of Consciousness?

Perhaps by exploration of various States?

Is that which is True what remains after all states have been exhausted?

What is it that remains after one has exceeded the ability to maintain sanity or mental stability?

Frightening question indeed.

@Ziran thanks for the grammatical correction. 

it wasn't grammatical.  the two aren't mutually exclusive.

It is most definitely an "or" not an "and"

because?  are you sure? if so, why so confident?

You certainly don't need to explain, but, I'll appreciate your reply if you choose to give it.

Breathe, and look into it. Start with your own experience. You could even begin by asking yourself what questioning is.

But hey, go get some sleep first. You'll feel better afterward.

I'd avoid confusing consciousness with a breakdown; the latter is a function of the mind, not of the truth. So drop that insanity nonsense, too.

You might find Ramana Maharshi's teachings useful, even if just for intellectual stimulation and inspiration. Besides, the guy was sane as fuck.
