Core Insight:
According to Osho, the felt vastness is the first touch of the unknown; your ego interprets this bridge as a barrier and recoils in fear of dissolving, like a dewdrop meeting the ocean. Stay with it courageously, pass "as if" through the barrier, and the false self falls away, revealing infinite silence, unbounded bliss, and pure awareness. Silence feels unbearable only because you are used to noise.
