Resurrection

Consciousness is the last concept, the last form. And it is hard to say it is a concept, because it is just the fact of consciousness. Beyond that, there is no consciousness. If you go beyond consciousness, it is a blackout. If you continue investigating, seeing the concepts, seeing the forms, at some point you forget you’re seeing concepts. And then you wake up again. That is resurrection. The world is back, but fresh. (Diamond Heart Book 4, pg 266)

Even consciousness, which is not exactly a concept, can be shed. At some point, usually without anticipating it, one realizes that one is perceiving the Nameless Reality as external to oneself. One becomes aware that one is beyond the Nameless, and the world that it supports, as an unknowable mystery. The Nonconceptual Reality, which is the ground of the world of concepts, is experienced here as not absolutely real. In fact, it is experienced as a radiance, ephemeral and insubstantial, in relation to and emanating from an unfathomable Absolute. One realizes that one's most absolute nature, which turns out to be the underlying nature of all of existence, transcends not only the mind, but consciousness itself. One is the beyond, beyond whatever can be experienced or perceived. The Absence is seen as an incomplete glimpse into the Absolute. One is the ultimate subject, which cannot be an object of perception, and hence is unknown and unknowable. The Absolute is not aware of itself, but awareness of everything else proceeds from it, while what characterizes consciousness is that it is conscious of itself. (The Pearl Beyond Price, pg 468)
