On the first day of school, a six-year-old child excitedly experienced an accident while riding a bike. After a fall, the child suffered severe injury. While being treated in the hospital, the child had a dissociative experience, observing the surroundings from above. There was no fear, pain, or sense of identity; feelings of detachment from family and societal roles led to a sense of liberation. This profound moment was marked by a complete absence of time and thought, resulting in pure stillness and presence.
I had no sense of a body anymore. No edges, no heaviness. I wasn't the daughter, the kid who just started school. I wasn't anything I had been told to be.
It was as if the idea of belonging or attachment didn't exist. And strangely, it didn't matter. I was just there. Pure. Present. Liberated.
