You are separate from experience but never detached. There are many kinds of passion and addiction that are fully existentially loaded and virtually immoveable. This indicates that while the gap between the 'I' and its objectifications is known as at the core of being it is also easily overcome, experience flooding into the space of the 'I' and structuring it indelibly. In some ways this is an advance, a touching of a concrete universal, but in the living through it eventually becomes a hindrance to freedom and a work of detachment must be undertaken. Such a work is always possible, even if the will and the power of discrimination is absent. To detach from velleities counts for nothing, but from an existential identification, passion or addiction, is a real achievement.
