What I found is that after meeting the Spirit (kind of like the first personal manifestation of it, but not sure if one can precisely describe it like this), after this great awesome moment is over, that we feel longing, we feel sadness. And that is because of the separateness. This feeling therefore is spot on and if we feel it we activate the fact that we wish, long for, want a better/closer relationship with the Spirit.
I of course do not know where you, lonewolf, wei and bob may, stand. But for me I find this interesting and decided to share this after I read what Wei posted.
Ec 1:18
For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
What you describe is not uncommon. There is a sorrow that comes with experiencing things of the Spirit. It is because we have to come back here. It is also because we see so much blindness and disinterest in spiritual things in those around us.
This too shall pass...
Ec 3:1
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
Ec 3:2
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
Ec 3:3
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
Ec 3:4
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance
Ec 3:5
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
Ec 3:6
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
Ec 3:7
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
Ec 3:8
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
Ec 3:9
What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
Ec 3:10
I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
Ec 3:11
He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
