Trying to imagine conciousness in a state of non-existence is like trying to imagine yourself without your brain. Your perception of your own conciousness currently is conditional to your mind body organism. Concious thinking is related to our ability to self-refer to our own existence and identity in a physical body. Conciousness that is no longer bound by the limitations of the body could never exist in a state of non-existence, because the conciosness that you are referring to is only relevant while you are alive. It never really existed in any concrete way to begin with. The deeper level of awareness that exists within all of us, and within all things is not limited to a specific person, place or time. It exists simaltaneously in all forms. Our lack of awareness about this matter makes us want to cling to the current sense of self that we identify with. After we die I would imagine that the awareness within us would have no need to hold on to these limited perceptions of the human mind. What does something become when it ceases to exist physically, what does something become after it becomes apparently "no-thing"? It becomes everything.
