Initial glimpses of truth can be profound.
The reality is that you will continue to act out your ego patterns after even the most profound of spiritual experiences. You are still identified with your sense of separation. Moments of profound realization and spiritual awakening are like a gulp of air after emerging from the ocean of unconsciousness.
But you’ve practiced being separate and attached to beliefs, outcomes, and your body your whole life. So you–through no fault of your own–sink back down into that unconscious sea and return to what you know.
It’s what humans do.
And all the behaviors you know will lead you back to living a limited way of life.
Inner work comes next if you are sincere.
Otherwise, spiritual bypassing comes next which often includes coming up with beliefs of all kinds to justify any and everything that you do that continues to limit you. That includes believing that you are done with the spiritual path right when you are actually starting.
