Egoic Explosion
An Egoic Explosion is a temporary or permanent collapse of the Bodily Ego caused when an unprepared Bodily Ego makes a strong Connection to Consciousness.[1] Egoic explosions occur when an individual endures a Connection Experience of an intensity, duration, quality, or content for which they are not prepared.

Notes
Ego explosions occur when the "oxygen" of consciousness fills the "room" of the Physical Unit in a quality or quantity for which the Bodily Ego is not prepared.
When a Connection is made, the fire of Consciousness lights up the room. If sparks from that fire contact the combustible detritus of toxic life experiences (i.e. ideology, fear, misconception, guilt, and shame), an ego explosion can result. [2]
The ego explosion can be minor and leave you slightly frazzled, or it can be massive and leave your bodily ego totally destroyed (e.g. schizophrenia).
Damage to the bodily ego arising from toxic life experiences increases the likelihood of experiencing ego explosion.
Ego explosions may be traumatic and require professional spiritual assistance.
