Exactly. Sad thing is, some people get stuck on that initial phase and never move beyond. When they go to a form of deep meditation, they're often shocked at how 'the bottom drops out' of their 'transcendent'. Usually after that they realize they were simply languishing in a light, blissy trance state, sometimes for decades.
