I enjoyed your analogy - and can reflect that I've experienced the "higher detached state" - later in life. It may not be this way for all - but I must agree: it is incredibly freeing. And it's in those moments I have said: if it were my last second on this earth -- "it is well!"
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Shasti! I wish you had more time to write here on Medium! ;-)
Hope you and your family are all well!
