It is a lucky, or a dull person who does not have such a down state from time to time. You have described well a state that is familiar to most people.
BUT: Like Sergeant Dan on the Cremota packet with a picture of Sergeant Dan holding a Cremota packet with a picture . . ., looking at ourselves looking at ourselves . . . gets us nowhere. We have to be able to look outside at everything else to see that the world is perfect. It is our nature to spring out of that state as well as to fall into it.
Rosemary says:
1) John Donne knew better than the Greeks:
"On a huge hill
Cragged and steep, Truth stands and he that will
Reach her about must, and about, must go
And what the hill’s suddenness resists win so"
I wonder what it is really on the top of that hill. Some would say Nirvana. To me it’s the focus of a pilgrimage and the journey is everything.
