Bridging world's.

When is non attachment the same as physical dissociation?

The practice of non attachment has come quite naturally to me but the line between non attachment and dissociation and 'no attachment' at all seems like a fine line.

Granted... I have learned how to enjoy the physical pleasure of a given experience without seeking to hold onto it indeffinately. .. I am able to appreciate the moment for what it is.

It just seems that their is a lot of language missing to bridge the gap between the eastern and western experience and it can kind of mean that experience can become rather polarised... Rather then balanced. ..

I feel like there is language missing in the dialogue bridging eastern and western philosophy...

For example... Non attachment in my perspective used to mean... No attachment rather then experiencing things in the moment but not becoming dependant on The sensations...

The language bridge was missing and so I could not assimilate the teaching relevant to my western understanding.
It seems as though there is no one using language to bridge that gap.
