This runs very deep indeed! Over lifetimes of evolutions, the sense of identity has come to rely on the instincts of the life force not only for accomplishments, validation but also for survival.
These needs and wants which may be considered subterfuge from the stand-point of a core-self are presented through the intellect and represent the summum bunum of normal existence. They denote a dependence/ addiction to the texture of physicalness and a staunch reliance on it for permanence and perpetuation.
Such existence is based on the long-standing desire to experiment through physical material nature over lifetimes. It is sustained and guaranteed by the instinctual distancing from and denial of death or lack of a physical vessel for exploration.
It therefore stands to reason that no amount of speculation will even scratch the surface of the root cause of physical existential bondage to reality.
Only a counter-current, against the ordinary grain model of introspection, painstakingly tracing back, a detailed withdrawal of engagements and attachments can clear the subtle form of its automatic attractions and adoptions of up hazard births.
