Very much to the point , yes !

Whereas emotional joy is a vibration, Unconditional Joy/Love is actually "beyond" all vibration/movement/time/space.

Whereas emotions are relative, their Divine Source isn't, being Absolute.

That which is Universally Natural (the Absolute) is unchanging.

This is a very good way to put it as well.
I like that you use the word vibration for "emotional excitement/joy" etc.
It is a good description for the non-vibrant happiness in relation to what vibrates "on top of it".

We are pure Awareness

Usually that realization is the light at the end of the tunnel when death comes. This consciousness and peace come when we are integrated again with the awareness (note: we were never separated of the awareness, just we thought we were separated, so the integration is just metaphorical), out of this dream of "individual consciousness".

Exactly,
for the majority humanity there seems to be no "death before the body dies."
But if it happens (by grace) then it is a beautiful realization that has effects for the body/mind which are then in their natural state and not identified
with a false sense of self as a separate entity anymore.
