buddhism explains the existential constructs that make up subjective reality, including the sense of 'self', are conditioned thought phenomena. so whatever mental conditioning, i.e., the perceived solidity, which make up existential constructs & definitions, can certainly cease, both temporarily & permanently

thus mind can have a sense of 'being'; mind can cease to have a sense of 'being'; mind can dwell in a solid definition of identity & reality; mind can cease to dwell in a solid definition of identity & reality; mind can enter into unconditioned & boundless awareness, without any thought constructions of property or characteristics

spontaneous experiences of the unconditioned mind can give rise to fear. but if such silence feels like 'heaven' then all the better

from the point of view of buddhism, the ideal is to be able to consciously cultivate unconditioned awareness, so it is under the control of the mind & brings a stable peace. in buddhist meditation, one makes unconditioned mind the norm (rather than something illusive, mysterious, not fully understood, etc)
