Bhavin,
 
Thank-you for your feedback.

I wonder if intellect or emotions fade away. My experience and reading
suggests they remain - only there is no remaining attachment to their
content. That's really the issue for me. Neither emotions nor thoughts
are a problem but rather our attachment to them.

I like your analogy of the double helix.
