Ego explosion occurs when an unprepared individual makes (intentional or unintentional) contact with The Fabric of Consciousness. 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. 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).
