Consciousness cannot be understood or known in the epistemological sense of the term since it is, by definition, the ultimate subject. It also cannot be experienced as an object. It sounds very hand-wavy and esoteric but if you think hard about it, it is absolutely and undeniably the only tenable logical position. Put in another way: if you somehow claim to be able to observe or measure consciousness as an object, then what is it that is doing the observing? Similarly, consciousness is unchanging and without beginning or end, for noticing and knowing any change you need consciousness.
