Absolutely, Gregg. That would be is-ness.

I had the same thoughts as Peter about consciousness without a body, and
Deepak on the fact that the title is a little misleading.

But my biggest take away was that consciousness (as you’re experiencing it,
pre-interpretation/analysis) is the only thing that can’t be delusion
(because delusion requires misinterpreting).

I think this is really important for more humans to understand and have as
a skill.
