I suspect that relaxing my identity—the one that’s built in my mind through trauma, glory and life experiences—loosens me enough to perceive/articulate the rarefied part of [me/you/us] which is obliquely hinted at through songs, poetry, and the tantalizing edge of mystery inherent in philosophy, religion, art, and even scientific pursuits.

Very true. Experience is a good teacher but if adhered to down to the last letter can leave us a bit earthbound. We all need to soar (by our own efforts without the need of manufactured ‘stuff’)
