I guess the question there is whether you can trust the experience to be what it appears to be or whether it is just a consequence of jiggering around with our heads via drugs or meditation or even mental illness and concluding that because we have no boundaries that must be how it is. Surely people in these states would be able to come up with some sort of testable statement even if it only compares theoretically, but I haven't seen any evidence for that, even king Tony's "cognizance" only stems so far as a book he read appearing in human physiology, whatever that means (and I've read it - utterly surreal that any scientist could be so uncritical) The universe we perceive in our heads is a picture based on info from our senses, change the way bits of our brain relate to create that picture and you have the unbounded sense that we all know and love, is how I see it.
