Meditation under the influence, on the other hand, is a door to the ocean.

Do you swim in it in eternal bliss? Or do you drown in it?

Does ”you” ”swimming” or ”drowning” ”in” spatially experienced consciousness make sense?

>spatially experienced consciousness

I understand it's supposed to be an abstract concept, but this statement still doesn't make sense

You experience your surroundings spatially through your senses every day. In the ordinary state of consciousness, this is sometimes called sense-experience. Now imagine experiencing your consciousness — cognition, feelings, memories — as the state of a boundless ocean, ”you” in this case being the ocean experiencing itself in this way.
