AnjaSo:
Wie kann ich mir denn die Auflösung der Wahrnehmbarkeit vorstellen? Ich dachte immer, Erleuchtung wäre das Erkennen der Ichlosigkeit. Ich kann mir schwer vorstellen keine Wahrnehmung mehr zu haben. Eigentlich ist doch alles "Bewußtstein", was wahrnimmt. Wenn das nicht mehr da ist... Was ist denn dann noch da?
Hallo Anja, dass hatte ich mich auch gefragt. Laut wiki (9.Jhana) nimmt man noch wahr aber es ist die subtilste Form des Bewusstsein.

The Eighth Jhana: Neither perception nor non-perception
The eight and ninth jhanas are difficult to discuss because they are so hard to describe in much the same way nibbana is hard to describe. This is because they are such heightened levels of concentration and of the Path itself, that they must be experienced. There is also very little to discuss with the eighth and ninth jhanas, since the perception levels have become so fine and so subtle. You enter the eighth jhana by letting go of the sense of no-thingness and enter a very natural, calm place. In the eighth jhana there is very little recognition of what is happening, but you are also not totally unaware of what is happening. There is such a peaceful state and you have gone beyond the duality of perception nor non-perception that it is easy to be fooled that you have experienced full enlightenment. But there is still more to do.
The Ninth Jhana: Cessation
"When you reach the limits of perception, you realize that lesser mental activity is better for your calm and peaceful state. You enter a state of “cessation” of consciousness where there is only a very sublte form of perception. The meditator may appear to be unconscious. There have been reports of meditators having heart beats as low as 20 to 40 beats per minute at this jhanic level. The nearest way to describe this state is something like a very deep sleep. The eight and ninth jhanas are not full enlightenment, but very close stepping stones to full awakening. Only those who are very close to being fully enlightened can enter the eighth and especially, the ninth jhana."
