This is the goal of meditation —  that you allow yourself to dive deeper and deeper within, until you are immersed in your own Divine Essence.  As you steep in this inner experience, you become saturated by your own Beingness, which is Beingness-Itself.  Then, when you open your eyes, you bring your own Self with you.  Who is seeing through your eyes?  Who uses your hands, uses your words, uses your mind to accomplish the Divine purpose for which you were born?  To live in the inner immersion, even while living your life — this is called Self-Realization, often called Enlightenment.
