After he saw God he felt really good, for around a year. And then he felt really bad. Worse than he ever had before in his life. Because one day it came over him, he began to realize, that he was never going to see God again; he was going to live out his whole remaining life, decades, maybe fifty years, and see nothing but what he had always seen. What we see. He was worse off than if he hadn't seen God.
After experiencing a profound moment with God, the individual felt a sense of elation that lasted for about a year. This encounter provided a level of understanding and connection that he had never known before. However, this bliss turned to despair as the realization set in that such an experience would not repeat. He began to grapple with the idea that his remaining life would be confined to the same mundane reality he had always known.
This epiphany led to a deep existential crisis for him. The notion that he would live out many years without the possibility of another divine experience left him feeling more desolate than before. In fact, the memory of that moment with God created a sense of longing and loss that overshadowed his existence, suggesting that sometimes, enlightenment can lead to a greater sense of emptiness when it fades away.
