Yes and no.
Strange you should use the term "dispassionate", because yes, I have always been mostly void of most of the lower emotions, like hate, jealousy, etc., so that my thinking is clear and sound without any interference from any of them. Making it easy to do the "right thing" by what my Spirit of God tells me should be done, without any emotions getting in the way to "make" me do other than what I should.
But no, I always still have a strong sense that my thoughts are my thoughts. The Spirit of God is completely integrated into my soul, so there is no division.
I believe we are speaking of the same thing, but the difficulty is in putting it into language. I should clarify that yes, you recognize the thoughts as your own thoughts. They aren't seen as foreign or other to yourself. It's most certainly not a case of
dissociation. You recognize them as your own thoughts, you own them.
However, the key difference between the dispassionate, or to use the term from Buddhism, "non-attachment", and the otherwise "normal" state of consciousness, is that we don't identify with the content of the thoughts, investing our egoic self with them. We have a thought about some situation, or thing that was said to us, or something we said, and we become concerned, upset, protective of the content of the thought as reflective of our self-identity. It's about seeing an image of ourselves, invested within the thoughts. "I'm not that bad, am I?", sort of identification.
"I have thoughts, but I am not my thoughts", means we don't see them as the truth of who and what we are. I have a foot, but I am not my foot. I have a body, it is my body, but my body is not who I am. I have thoughts, they are my thoughts, but my thoughts are not who I am. And so forth.
It has to do with the center of gravity of our self-identifications, and along with that, where the focus of our energies goes into. If we are caught up in the normal thought cycles, replaying that same narrative over and over all day long, thinking of the past, worrying about the future, getting upset about everything that leads us into self-protection of that egoic construction of the mind we call "me", that which we identify ourselves with and as, that leads to a drain of what I call our daily reserves of divine energies.
When we are able to quite their voices, or at the very least our responses to them when they habitual arise within our thoughts, then it is as you say. You are in touch with Reality, or Spirit, or God, and you become led by that, because you are Aware of it. It's like turning down the blaring rock and roll music on your stereo and hearing the birds outside chirping. They've been there the whole time, but you weren't listening. You were distracted by the sound of your own thoughts.
Make sense?
Original sin, simply has to do with our propensity to try to avoid God, really. It has to do with the fallen state we experience as humans where we are disconnected from ourselves, from others, and from nature and God itself. It's the existential angst, wanting transcendence, yet not willing to surrender to the divine.
