You ever ask yourself what a conscious none feeling state would actually be like?  Like really no sensation, no feeling, even the no joy no bliss, no anything, would it even be an experience at that point?  An experience that is "nothing" but is enjoyable is not what your talking about, thats still a "something" felt/experienced going on.

Obviously by definition its complete absence of existence then it can't be described.

The nothingness of a good nights sleep isn't felt in the sleep, its felt after as a feeling or experience no?, or if its felt in sleep, because if it is, its not a no-feeling/conscious experience.  Its a felt/conscious one.

I agree.  It's after you wake up that you call the sleep was great . But you have folks like Ramana Maharshi who claim that even in deep sleep awareness is still there . Evident by if you yell at a sleeping person he can hear you and wake up.

As for the rock thats not really a rock..... its god experiencing itself as that from your god experience.  As you see it, is knowing it as that, as a rock as you say.  Maybe there is a inside view of rock having a experience of you looking at it as a rock, and maybe not.

Haha . I guess we all agree that a rock had no conscious mind. Because we only attribute conscious mind or sentience to living organic life forms .


 "When you get very serious about truth you accept your life situation exactly as it is. So much so that you aren't childishly sitting around wishing it were otherwise.If you were confined to a wheelchair you would just accept it as how reality is. Just as you now just accept that you are not a bird who can fly."
