it sounds like a description of inebriation and loss of short term memory as well.

de-personalization and de-realization are also attributed to substance abuse.

I would not praise meditation for bringing on derealization and de personalization  or consider that those effects are only beneficial, nor would I imagine them to be persistent other than habituated and triggered to resume after doing something else. It is not evidence of status in some spiritual scheme of progress either.




the mention of derealizatino/dersonalization was simply evidence that long term fundamental changes to perception of the world and self are possible. I am not arguing those are the same as the changes reported in various spiritual communities.

what part sounds like inebriation?

it seemed to me to be the opposite of inebriation. it became very simple. just being, just breathing, just eating, just going on a zoom meeting... it felt very normal except for the non identification
