To clarify: "nobody's there to experience anything" means that the ego (the self) has gone. I tend to define the word ego as the "pathological ego" to distinguish it from ahamkar. The "pathological ego" is the time-bound sense of self-identity based completely in the relative. Given those definitions, I seriously doubt the ego is completely gone in the state of CC. The pathological ego wasn't even completely gone in MMY. Of course that raises questions about what state MMY was in as well as other questions about the ego in the state of enlightenment. Personally, I would have to assume that the pathological ego is completely gone in UC. Since I am not in UC (and since I still have a pathological ego problem), I can't answer based on my own experience!
