I for one do not see transcendence to make you want to detach from the 3d world. The glipses I have have the physical world more interesting and liveable. I know people often think (not you it seems, dhg) - oh no I don't want to be enlightened because I'll not care about the world. It's so much the opposite of that. The enlightened ones of the past were all about not harming life after all. They didn't trash the world or ignore it either.
