Annihilation of Experience

Annihilation of Experience refers to the process where a person's perceptions, memories, and personal identity are fundamentally dissolved or erased. It involves stripping away the sense of individual "self" and the accumulated experiences that shape one's understanding of reality. This concept can occur through intense psychological or spiritual practices, or as a metaphor for profound psychological transformation. Essentially, it is the dissolution of the boundary between self and the external world, leading to a state where personal distinctions vanish, often described as experiencing a form of ultimate unity or emptiness.
