Keltner describes his brother's passing experience, stating, 'I felt small, quiet, humble, pure. The boundaries that separated me from the outside world faded.' This illustrates how trauma can lead to profound feelings of awe and disconnection.
After his brother's death, Keltner experienced a surge of meaning in daily life: 'The next day, everything seemed so meaningful and rich - the birds, the church bells - then the awe passed and I fell into a very hard state.' This captures the fleeting nature of awe amidst grief.
