There is no transcending this, for consciousness and unconsciousness is a matter of will. If you want you could simply stop caring about anything (including your physical survival) and just descend into the unconscious. Or you could remain conscious and continue to work to become more conscious. So what are you willing to do?

There is only consciousness. Or, to put it another way, you are aware of what you're aware of.  There is no unconsciousness, because you're not aware of it. 


All stories and explanations are false.

To see that they are one you still need higher level of consciousness. So in a way you can't just collapse that duality and not put effort into maintaining high level of consciousness.


In the Vast Expanse everything that arises is Lively Awakened Awareness.

@onacloudynight stop clinging to any of those states. It's out of your control anyway.

Which state am I clinging too?

Thanks for that ??

So unconsciousness is an illusion then because you are creating it

You got it. You're creating it consciously (i.e. in awareness).  You think there's a duality, but it's a mirage.

There seems to be a major frustration within me I can't let go of.

Be kind with yourself. Be gentle. but self inquire into the nature of the ‘I’ on every thought. 
 

“There seems to be a major frustration within me I can’t let go of.” - on who’s behalf does that thought arise? 
 

“Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will rule over all." - Jesus

Hi,

Nobody ascends past anything or breaks free, that's the big misunderstanding!

What can seem to happen is it's just recognized that the very character(me) attempting to ascend or break free, isn't actually real. 

This entire sense of self structure can seemingly feel like it's collapsing or realized to have never existed in the first place.....thats why its often referred to as an "illusion of self" or ego dissolution.
