The pull of the lower separate self is too strong, and so we revert to our 'normal' state, but feeling richer for having had a glimpse of something higher.
As we progress our identification may fluctuate between these two states more frequently, until eventually resting in the Higher Self becomes our normal state.

Hi Iamthat. Yes, this sort of initial glimpse or ‘remembrance’ is sometimes referred to as a peak experience. And yet it’s our birthright - our natural condition - which has been obscured due to habits of mind (as suggested above.)
