Well, I'm almost sure that no being is enlightened all the time. Many things, from stationary objects to my very own children are able to pull me back into the "loop" of my ego and sometimes I need to be there. But when I find myself pulling on the reigns too hard and life is becoming a lot, I can recall those moments of clarity (if they are even such) and reevaluate and stabilize. when you understand that they are just things happening and not BAD things happening you will understand that you don't need to be so chewed up over it.
