It seems like non-existence to you because your attention has always been focused outward. Only this witness, not the mind, can witness itself for it is infinite and eternal.

Try this if you dont believe me. Try to visualize the edge of the universe, or the beginning/end of time. Your mind is incapable of comprehending it. When I became enlightened, I can enter into sleep consciously. In other words, I can be consciously unconscious, aware of an awareness that is without content; no sound, no thoughts, no sight, no emotion, absolute nothingness. In deep dreamless sleep, you feel hours passed as if it is 1 second, because only the mind exist in time. When attention is able to pay attention on attention itself, this 1 second is the same as eternity, which is your true nature.

You are right that this is death itself, but also life. This is God, Alpha and Omega, beginning and end. It is only this awareness, that I KNOW I am eternal, that I know how it is like before I was born and how I will be like after I die, and it is very beautiful.
