"The individual is a self-sustained imaginary point oscillating between two oblivions, one of which is also imaginary."
"I find that an unsettling thought, though I haven't the faintest idea what it means."

The individual is hardly self-sustained, and hardly imaginary. So your confusion is understandable.
The indiviudal as apoint of certainty in consciousness separate from the field within which he exists is indeed self-sustained and imaginary. As would be certainly the view of reality within all 'true' fields of mysticism, such as Zen Buddhism, Eckhart, etc.
