Actually, MMY has characterized CC as "merely normal," and as "glorified ignorance." All that CC is is when there is 24/7 presence of Self. The claim that "I" and "me" goes away is either a mis-identification of CC with extreme unstressing resulting in pathological derealization, or a misinterpretation of what MMY is describing.
