Hello tijampel,

Knowing that I am a newcomer into sutta study and practice and maybe I will give some misapprehensions.

In accordance to this teachings we are the result of the five aggregates.

The unaware mind of a non Noble Disciple understands Khandas as the self, or the self in the Khandas.

The Noble Disciple understands each of the five Khandas as not ours, not mine, not yours.

Consciousness is just cognition but we are not cognition... it just cognizes. So consiousness not being mine, me or my self its nature is to fade and the Noble One lets it go.

Cessation is about quenching the fire of desire in each aggregate, thus, quenches craving for more... feeling, perception, fabrication and consciousness events.

This doesn't mean that the Noble Disciple is a dead body walking around like zombies... is about a mental disposition, an emotional reaction that is free from craving and free from clinging in an absolute state of contentment.

The fire of I am, this is mine, this is my self... has quenched for each Khandha.

The Noble One and much more the Arahat... can't kill, can't lie, etc... and he relates with the world in absolute peace bringing happiness and compassion to all sentient beings, her/his actions are dispassionate. He is not burn with the fire of craving for each Khandha.

He is free form self identification in each Khanda.

Of course it is recommended to verify this through practice and evaluate the result because it is not about believing.
