Generally the high wears off but there is a degree of new awakeness which is permanent

@DocHoliday Ey, its a kanye line but dont tell anybody

@Saumaya Yes, i still got the awareness. I dont feel numb, I dont even feel numb. I dunno how i feel. Im usually numb but sometimes i feel a slight energy on my body. But its barely noticable

@Ether An enlightenment experience or any sort of transcendental experience also helps you connect with your body more.

It is like some people live in their heads, but after a glimpse of their true nature, they become more conscious of their body. Being identified with the mind causes neurosis. It is like you become highly aware of the sensations in your body(conscious).

A good book to read on this NO Boundary by ken vilber. I forgot the details though but he explains it brilliantly in that book.

@Saumaya One day you decide to seek. Another one you decide to let go. Is it ok to seek? I used to obsessevely seek, i dont know if it causes suffering or its only when we crave it that we suffer?

It is the same as asking in the spiritual process, which is more important, effort(seeking) or grace(letting go). Both are important and need to be balanced. I recommend you seek ruthlessly first . When you feel like you cant go any further, let go and take a break. Thats the balance.

Ah ok, thanks. Right now, im just letting go. Just because. No reason. Just because there is nothing I can do.

I dont know if i will ever seek again

NO worries, no need to force seeking. You will naturally do it when letting go starts seeming pointless.
