Depersonalization

That was really scarry, you can't imagine how scary this was, you have to experience it.

I have from the experience I believe you are undergoing, not just under the polarity that you are speaking of. Roller coasters are interesting in that the more we ride it - the less scary it seems. The first time you jump off the plane, it is a incredible experience, and quite scary and thrilling at the same time. The more and more you do it however, the less power it seems to hold on you, until it all goes away.

Some people actually seek out those experiences because they are like a fine wine. Much like sexual energy, or fasting, the less you do it, the more empowered the experience will be when you finally do undergo it. Cherish your experience. Don't forget the theme of Halloween, we seek out fear on purpose - to be afraid on purpose, because it is fun.

I only mention this because at one time I felt I was on the brink of a certain spiritual experience. Fear did not permit me to take the step at that time. When I seriously took up meditation there were fundamentalists that warned about some danger of subjecting onesself to evil spirits. By that time I was comfortable that the unknown was the most likely place for God. Perhaps all these things have already been considered.....if so just ignore this.

Thanks Molearner
I can imagine that many / most cannot get past the fear / belief barrier of the mind
Not saying that I can, but I can imagine most can't even see it objectively enough. Or maybe I'm wrong
