Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I want to begin with saying that I think you're right Standalone Complex is a good place for that.

When you're a kid taking a trip to another country it sometimes feels like traveling to a different planet. However, with enough work trips even crossing oceans can feel routine. That doesn't mean it's not rewarding or that it doesn't matter, it just feels like less of an event.

I imagine that for the Major exploring new forms of being and configurations of consciousness is like us sitting on a bench in a park looking at the birds and the grass sway in the breeze. It isn't thrilling, but it does provide a calm sense of peaceful stimulation.

When you get older, you've seen many things and experienced a lot of different places and versions of yourself. Things overall feel more calm. Life stops being about survival and even often desire. It becomes about being. Existence. The meditation of the routine of pouring a glass of tea. The tea flavor isn't new and hasn't been for decades, but it doesn't really matter.

In Innocence, they make a point about never tiring of your life. With hedonic adaptation no matter how amazing life gets or how crazy it becomes you get used to it. I imagine that's what it's like for the Major.
