What is the reason why the ego builds the barriers again after Awakening experience?

Well if that’s all … I am enlightened because I think that’s the case.

But sometimes I see in the forum people talking about seeing the void, dissolving into it, that your idea of the self disappears. That didn’t happen to me yet.

The closest I was happened once where I didn’t know who I was and I was falling in a black hole while I was asleep. But I wasn’t ready to not remember who or what I was, and I had an episode I ended in the hospital. After that I couldn’t think well, I forgot things almost immediately and I had to go to therapy. They diagnosed me with depression.
 

Losing my identity was like the worst nightmare. I wish it happens again with what I know now. Not sure if that’s the void everyone is talking about.

It depends, if there is a 'you' (1) that is aware of 'something' (2), then you are not in Oneness, you are in duality (2 thoughts: 'me' and 'that thing that im One with').

Enlightment = Experience of One. (Because of not finding 'Oneself', Nothing remains).

Enlightenment is when experience stops.

Nice, thanks.

Do your eyes stop working?

It is independent from experience and already the case.

There is no such thing as eyes. You are the moment.
