There is a point where nothing exists, (within itself), and you are AT-ONE with everything and nothing? That is also the loss of the I AM, because your "Self" becomes unimportant, as you have entered Universal Consciousness.
Ming I had a strange experience about ten years ago. Sorry if anyone already read this, as I think I posted it at least once...
So I was driving on a nearly empty freeway it was a beautiful sunny day and I was like sending love to the palm trees along the freeway as there was a breeze. At one moment, because there was no traffic on the freeway I was on and four lanes so a wide one, I turned around because I knew that behind me I could see downtown framed by two small hills in the foreground.
Not only could I see downtown profiled, but way beyond downtown, way beyond, quite clear I could see all the way to the ocean in the way back background and it was like scintillating.
As I turned back around I suddenly found myself at one with everything, the lamp post, the palm tree trunk, the iron boarder of the freeway, the black tar stain on the white cement of the freeway. I remember bursting out of laughter and feeling, 'it's all so simple and we make it so complex" that feeling of like walking on clouds, bliss, stayed with me for something like for four days and then it slowly vanished. So it was not while meditating, just driving, lol of all things, but I can feel again this huge laughter I had, that feeling of incredible lightness, of something so simple not even described with words. lol I remember thinking if I can see that, anyone can.
