Divine Consciousness...

If the claim of complete merger is valid, if the individual self really disappears in the attainment of Divine Consciousness, of whom then was this same self aware in the experience of attainment?

No--it is only the lower personal self that is transcended;

the higher spiritual individuality is not.

---------------

Paul is speaking of the Realisation of the First Reality as Self called Divine Consciousness.

He is not yet speaking of the Final Reality called Pure Awareness in which no memory of ego and identity exists..
