It's not anything to do with intelligence, nor education, clearly. It's to do with Fear, and a retreat into Fight or Flight thinking, or "Lizard Brain" thinking. And to come out of it means there is no floor anymore, and the entire world is shattered... It's like LOSING your religion. And so the clinging...

I am often in freeze mode, for many reasons. It doesn't stop me from seeing.
Do you think possibly you are in fight and flight mode? Why would you not be. It's a natural reaction to having your boundaries crossed. And man are they being crossed.
Considering my previous comment, I'm saying a prolonged state of fight or flight, lasting more than maybe a few hours, tops? is a state of irrationality and lizard-brain thinking. That doesn't mean it's WRONG, it's just irrational. Physiologically speaking. It's a different part of the brain than is used in rational thinking.

I can definitely relate to freeze mode.
No, I don't think I am in fight or flight mode. Why would you think that I am? Do I sound irrational?
I wonder if we all are to some extent. And I don't feel being so would mean you are irrational.

I understand you, I think. I just frame it differently. Or maybe I have a different experience of it.
The word irrational, I find, is often used to dismiss someone. So it's not a word I like to use.
And no I don't feel you are irrational.
Hugs. Lose your religion, find your spirituality...the essence that is incorruptible.
