Ego dissolution can lead to feelings of interconnectedness and a realization that the ego may be a mental construction.

“In a sense what isn't me is as valid here as the a developing sense of what is me that a child develops at whatever age. And so a major characteristic of the ego dissolution experience rather than just a negative, a thing going away. My sense of self going away is the positive. Oh. Now, I feel interconnected with other people and the world at large. And I realize that there is that molecular continuity. And actually, that's a ground truth. And oh, maybe the ego thing is somewhat illusory or at least a construction of my mind.”
