On "crossing the abyss"

[neon_trapezoid]

For those of you who have had the experience of crossing the abyss, how did that experience manifest for you?

I'm thinking of this in Crowleyan/OTO terms, where to reach a certain point of the path of knowledge/initiation/growth/development, it is necessary to "cross the abyss". It has been described as a melting of personality into the "All", but I'm curious what that really looks like physically/mentally for a person.

Just watched video on this topic yesterday... it's very interesting one, that speaks about crossing the abyss in both tree of life and death.

Spoiler: video

I'm unsure if I attempted it without knowing or if I'm trying now, no idea, because I don't use Kabbalah in any version. But I assume that everyone has to do it at some time.

I have crossed the Abyss, but not within the framework you are asking about. I am watching this thread as I am very curious about others experiences. Hopefully a few will chime in and share.
