Look at self in a large mirror. When we look at ourself intently we forget the existence of the mirror. Looking intently into the mirror is concentration. Missing noticing the mirror. Out of touch with consciousness. Now looking at the face remain consciously aware of the mirror - the substrate.
Elsewhere. Look into a non functioning mind with closed eyes. This is concentrating on nothing. Notice the vast expanse of substrate as existence, knowledge, bliss - we are one with consciousness.
This is how we can use concentration to experience consciousness.
