That becomes the background. At first, it can feel like there's a shift, like you've tasted something and now you've lost it. Then you feel you have to do this or that to get it back. We can also get addicted to those tastes, to those shifts. But that addiction will be broken when we realize there is no such shift, because that was always the case. Then we can no longer have that intensity of release, what you might call a spiritual experience.
