You know? Starting from that particular perspective may be what I need. I KNOW these questions can only be answered "generally," that I must accept this before I can move on to my "physical" existance (of which I feel is minute most of the time) in this world.

Hmmmm

I've had both CBT and DBT for my BPD (OMG! )

Neither had the successes I hoped for, although I learned much about my illness and was shown alternate ways to cope with the most difficult of times.

I've always been afraid of the 'big picture,' but if one thinks about it, the explanation must always be much more vague - the opposite of what I need as a detail freak.

Wow! I hope I try going about things this way. It would be totally opposite from what my mind wants to do!

Oooh, I forgot about the black - the ultimate realization that we are so, so insignificant in the grand universe is very difficult to balance with the bigger picture...

ok, lost myself here. BRB (?)
