An Experience of Boundlessness Is Not Metaphysical Proof
People sometimes describe an experience as spacious, unbounded, timeless, or larger than their usual sense of self. The experience and its explanation should remain distinguishable.
Feeling boundless does not establish that a person is literally unlimited. A change in the sense of boundary does not, by itself, prove one theory of consciousness.
We can ask what changed in perception, what words help describe it, and which claims report the experience directly rather than interpret it afterward.
That distinction leaves room for both wonder and care. We need not dismiss a powerful experience because its ultimate meaning is uncertain, and we need not turn intensity into proof.
