In this way of understanding everything you experience, it would pay to be aware it’s all temporary, that should be the first thing people should learn when starting out.
Love and bliss included.
I’ve seen people dancing in the bliss state, all the while I can feel it as not integrated into balance.
I don’t think you can know this unless you’re brought back down to reality in some way.
In my case I had a very logic minded brother who was concerned for me and told me this, very directly. It hit my like a ton of bricks as ‘truth’ and consequently I dropped fast out of it.
I did remain there for some time to tend to things outside of me and inside of me, so it served me well. It gave me a bigger perspective of reality plus I was able to end my religious brainwashing and fears in that. Probably also the biggest marker was letting go of some stuff that was very difficult to let go of.
