...focuses attention so strongly upon what is happening, that s/he often disappears into the action. When we live life like that, who we think we are also disappears into the action. When attention is regularly shifted away from self-referential thoughts to what is real, the illusion of separateness ceases to be reinforced, and eventually it simply collapses. There is nothing gradual about it except the continual shifting of attention away from thoughts. When the illusion collapses, it happens suddenly and completely.
