Can the content of consciousness be totally emptied? Which is the living. Dying is the living when the content is totally emptied. That means no attachment. It isn’t a brutal cutting off, but the understanding of attachment, the understanding of dependency, the understanding of acquisition, power, position, anxiety, all that. The emptying of that is real death. And therefore the emptying of consciousness means that the consciousness, which has created its own limitation by its content, comes to an end.
