Above is an article depicting much of what I have also found as a result of my intellectual research on the intersection between literature and shamanism. This kind of impersonal ego, or indeed "egoless" experience (as per the article), was a fundamental part of my experience until about the age of 15, when I emigrated from Africa to Australia.
The impersonal, mystical or detached aspect of experience is the core part of my identity. As such, I revert to it when under stress. The more stress I'm under, the more detached I become. Ego matters less and less at that point -- and, thus, I see the world more pragmatically, in terms of whittled down structures.
