The "numbness/empty(ing)" portion seems like it might be unavoidable upon "the path" as most sects of spiritual development make note and describe the state in various ways. Perhaps this state is the result of the true merging of opposites/a "true" and undistorted realization of unity. Experiences are not any longer perceived in the dichotomies; good/bad, happy/sad, contentment/restlessness, etc. etc. Everything just finally becomes "is" and things just stop being "are". Trying to perceive this state/catching glimpses of it while dwelling w/in the realm of polarity will always lead us to see it as "numb/empty" because we are tied to the opposite distortion/emotion of it. Perhaps "empty" is the ultimate state for now One/All has the space to become a "container" of All/One. I feel this may become more and more true in the hierarchal layers of the metaphysical. Makes me think of how our magnificent Sun is the "container/projector" of our illusion and seems to do it w/out much, albeit realitive, distortion (well at least in our senses of understanding distortion).
For does not the Sun shine upon "the sinner and saint" with equal life giving measure?
