Is there another form of being, such as, conscious nonexistence (i.e. a being that is aware that it does not exist)? Are there any other options that we can concieve of; or is there something else out there that cannot be concieved of? --- How do we step outside of "mind" for a different perspective?

Mind is the "foundation" of what we perceive. If you want to see the clear light of mind it takes much training and patience. You can step outside of your presently "deluded" mind (that perceives things incorrectly as being inherently existent, permanent, etc.) and get a more clear perspective that way... and when you get REALLY good at it you become a Buddha, or "Awakened One".

Yes.
A being can be aware of its 'physical' non-existence !
There are no other options that I know of.
What is out there (as seers and experts at meditation claim) is only a bright light, absolute silence and space.
Help to step outside the mind ? Depends upon which part of the globe you are in. Which country or City ? Best is to surf the net or try for detailed information on different approaches. You may visit

and choose what appeals to you.

Nothing is impossible! so something I guess had to make the first decision! And that decision was light? Most logical first step do you think? I consider that in my mind I can see things! strange yes... but true though? There certainly is not light in my head that projects my thoughts onto the back of my eyes so I can see them is there?
logically if we can visualize something in the dark of our brain then could not that same process work in any time? Hence I have come to the understanding that, yes consciousness was the first possibility!

Coherence of existence is a necessary property of existence. Consequently consciousness is the basis of all existence. We are in the Matrix, that is a fact.

Oy, what an interesting question, indeed. I don't have an answer or any flippant know-it-all response, but I'm interested in what others say.
