J A S G, that makes sense to me, an experience of absence; still in that experience we are aware of absence even if we do not acknowledge that absence. Absence is often referred to as a “blank state.“ So awareness exists even in a lack of self awareness, or a lack of experiential awareness.
Although, in my opinion, awareness requires acknowledgement, even in a blank state, which often most report no acknowledgement in a blank state; they simply say “I don‘t know what happened, I blacked out.” Maybe blacking out is the acknowledgement of absence.
