Hmm. Guess I'd better stop telling people to wake up to themselves, then, eh?

Actually, I find that what kind of happens is that the ego recedes, and along with it, the sense of separation. The more the ego is, err... diminished, I guess (from a position of being its own reality, not as in "destroyed"), the greater awareness is possible.
Damn, I hope that made sense. It's really hard to find words to describe the experience.

Or, I could have just said it succinctly, like that.

Yes. Frustrating, at times, but I also find it hilarious, too. Trying to find words.... well, it can be absurdly amusing.
