"My understanding of any initiatory experience isn't that after it, "true life" begins or that everything is suddenly perfect, but that you continue to do everyday things, only everyday things come to be extraordinary."
What I've noticed is that the "extraordinary factor" will zoom up to a very high level and last for some (relatively short) period of time: a few weeks, a few months, what have you. Then it settles down again to a level which is more normal for me but still somewhat higher than I started out with.
