A comatose man does not know he exists. He is appearing to you but there is nothing appearing to him, therefore the persona of the comatose man is absent. However, the no thingness/the void is still present, that's if commatose is like deep sleep. The no thingness is aware of things appearing. The aware space in which, and as which all things appear.
Aware of existance (appearances). I am.
Awareness, absolute I.edit on 26-3-2012 by Itisnowagain because: (no reason given)

Are you hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, touching? Are you aware of the enviroment around you?
You are the knower of life, the knower of thought, the knower of sensation.
You 'know' you are.edit on 25-3-2012 by Itisnowagain because: (no reason given)
I know I am because while I can endlessly prove I exist, you cannot prove that I don't exist.
An abundance of confirmation, combined with a distinct lack of contradiction, becomes fact.
What makes you think no one can prove the YOU doesn't exist?
Answer: Beliefs!
Ribbit
When one or two people can convince themselves that I don't exist, but a dozen others can provide physical proof, including documentation and digital footprints (not to mention that I'm sitting in front of them) then that gives you two delusional people and a handful of honest people.
Your arguments are rather weak.
Frickin' ribbit.
