The oceanic feeling

The dissolving sensation of ego-boundaries in which you feel merged with something infinite—ocean, cosmos, totality—both blissful and terrifying. This feeling, whether arising in meditation or spontaneously, reveals that separation is an illusion we maintain, not an ultimate fact.
