That seems very well said. Re "Sally", the observation of considerations *immediately* revealed itself at the beginning of the experience, although it had not been considered before ever.

At many other times, the insight seems to present itself near the end of the experience.

It's quite extraordinary. And it seems one is never quite in control, even with intentionality.

It's also an active effort to check oneself to ensure there are no delusions of belief or perception.

I myself have not experienced an ego death. The possibility of physical harm is too daunting to me.
