There is no other level other than where we are at any given moment.
I don't need to leave to meet the present, but constantly living in the present and eventually releasing the ego scares the me. Although you could say that ego is just a projection and nothing more than a illusion.

The real question is;
Why do I want to go this way and not follow the rest of the world?

As you said before its difficult to catch in words.
