What is a cessation?

[King Merk]

I often heard this term “cessation” used in the spiritual community. Especially by @Being Frank Yang & sometimes Leo.

What is this word pointing towards?

I believe they talk about the process of terminating the ego mind but could be different in another context.

Pretty sure it's like self-induced general anaesthesia. Even the objects of space and time disappear. When there's no observed there's no observing

Update:

First thanks for the replies.

second, Leo talks about it in his newest interview with Curt Jaimungal.

(Didn’t catch the time stamp)

From my understanding it’s a state of zero perceptions. “Reality” vanished and “you” become nothing.

But I’ve never had this happen to me so really it’s just a conceptualisation at this point. 

[Moksha]

Cessation points toward waking up. It is ending the dream of the separate self, and realizing the seamless Self. In other words, it is Love.

The Self seems to move, but is ever still.
He seems far away, but is ever near.
He is within all, and transcends all.
Those who see all creatures in themselves
And themselves in all creatures know no fear.
Those who see all creatures in themselves
And themselves in all creatures know no grief.
How can the multiplicity of life
Delude the one who sees its unity?

- Isha 1.1.5-7

The end of something that wasn't real.
