There is no sense of "me" but your awareness is still focused on what
you are doing. Otherwise you might as well be spaced out on drugs. It
is more like a rubber band in that the consciousness snaps back to the
boundless when you no longer have your attention on a specific task.
Some tasks may lend to both boundlessness and activity at the same time.
