Like the writers of classical Hebrew and Koine Greek, I don't make all that distinction between mind and emotion. For myself, I'd read "detachment" as "non-grasping."

I have almost no trouble seeing things this way; at any rate i hope i will find it to be correct when i discover my Real Self.
Supposedly, some people are able to smell colors and taste sounds. Most of these people are said to be small children. Buddhism calls mind one of the senses.
In the "garden" people could communicate with animals and with God -- integrated people in an integrated universe? The "knowledge of good and evil" severed that integrity.
Brain scientists are saying that cognition and emotion travel along different neural pathways and say that for people with psychopathologies or autism the emotional pathways don't work very well. To me, that makes sense.

Less happily, your fourth paragraph has me thinking about the many humans I know who seem to me neither to think nor how to feel very well. Fortunately I'm probably wrong.
