I came to mistrust detachment as a path to enlightenment. In its healthiest forms, I got that it was a wonderful place to visit - a reminder of something beyond our localized perceptions, a peek into a vaster reality, an opportunity to distinguish between that which serves us and that which derails us. But taken too far, it felt more like self-avoidance masquerading as enlightenment. If this wasn’t so, then why did I fall right back into triggers shortly after getting out of my meditation cave and re-engaging with the world? And why did I feel so bereft of feeling as my practice deepened? Was this meditation or medication? The New Earth or the New Mars? (an excerpt from An Uncommon Bond- storming the planet soon..)
