What exactly is awareness?
I'm very new to all of this so please forgive me if this sounds stupid. What exactly do people mean when they say "awareness"? Apparently it's different from consciousness because it has nothing to do with the mind or sense organs but I don't quite get it. I've read a lot of people mentioning it being like in a deep sleep because your brain is essentially turned off but you don't remember being asleep because you're brain can't remember it. So essentially my question is this: after the body is gone you have no brain to process/remember anything, no sense organs, and nothing to perceive even if you had all of that since none of what we can perceive now is real anyway so what is the difference between existence and non-existence at that point?
