The fifth of these five differing levels of interconnectedness can be referred to as a "''state of unity between the self and the creation of all external systems''." It is defined as the experience of a loss of perceived boundaries between a person's identity and all external systems of behavior.

At this point, a number of commonly reported conclusions of a religious and metaphysical nature often begin to manifest themselves as profound realizations. These are described and listed below:
