Do you perceive that there are greater levels of understanding and experience beyond your current position?
Also, presuming you suffer, how do you relate to your own suffering?
And how do you relate to the suffering of others?

I definitely do have a desire to learn, and know myself deeply and all the things that you mentioned. I, however, would prefer to do it at my own pace. I feel like trying to polarize too hard is too traumatic to the soul.
You asked if I perceive that there are greater levels of understanding and experience beyond my current position. I do get a deep sense of that, but it's sort of hard to see the nuts and bolts of it because of the veil I presume.
The penultimate questions in the second to the last block I sort of don't understand. I suffer like anyone else being human and all. I relate to my own suffering with deep compassion for my human existence.
The last question: I feel bad when others suffer, but I can't stand that sappy superficial concern that people pretend to have for others. In other words, I hate it when people don't back up their concern with actions. I would give this advice to people who do this (not you, of course), if you're all talk, don't even say anything in the first place. It lacks meaning if you're not going to do anything about it.
I hope that answers your questions.
To Bring 4th_Plenum and Spero, I really enjoyed your posts! There's nothing I can add to them. Very informative.
