Thanks... Interesting.

Yes, I see where you are coming from with "Higher" self.
I think to me it is not a matter of whether it is "higher" (or better?) to discern the details vs seeing the big picture, but in experiencing both, we can perhaps come to see the connection, the "oneness", of all things. Zoomed out (so to speak) and we see everything as one big thing, zoomed in (so to speak) and things appear as separate things. It is the relationship of everything to everything else that ties it all into the one. The separation is real as an experience, yet an illusion from a different perspective.
