“Not being” is pretty easy to envision. Mom & Dad are “not being” now or ever again. I have a perfect model to understand it

That's exactly the opposite of what I meant, which is why I said "not in an abstract way, but...": To imagine (Not: "to think about") this constantly thinking and sensing "I", "me", "Ego" does not exist any more.

When I seriously try to do that it's not only impossible for me, but even the failed try is the most terrifying thing. If that's not the case for you then you are either "enlightened" --- or rationalising, as you just did (avoiding to be confronted with the raw emotions of this imagination, instead using your intellect to look at it from a cool and rational view ("... perfect model... ")).
