That's basically it

But when you really experience it on an experiential level and not intellectual level, it's mind-blowing, literally

I haven't had full experiences of it, just tiny tiny glimpses. But from what I've seen, what it means is that you're completely free. There is no "you" (ego) to suffer anymore. It's like what Steve talked about in "The Joy of Sadness" -- everything is fine, everything is ok, everything has a particular quality of joy, beauty, and perfection to it. There's nothing you need, nothing you want -- not even the desire to continue existing in the next moment -- because you are already complete and perfect. And my mini-experiences are probably just 1% of what the real thing feels like

So I applaud and encourage all your efforts to understand SR, because it's all worth it in the end
