I am NOT talking just about enlightment experiences.

That's an important differentiation. So called 'enlightment experiences' have nothing to do with enlightenment. So called 'enlightment experiences' are nothing but transient psycho-mental phenomena.

But instead let's say you suddenly become enlightened and it it remains that way for weeks or even months. Is it possible after this to "lose" that non dual state?

1. enlightenment is neither a non dual state nor a dual state
2. enlightenment is a peak attainment. There is no falling back.
3. enlightenment is a cessation. 'permanent' does not apply since every cessation has a beginning. What is permanent has neither beginning nor end.
