Awakenings make everyday life better but strip away the peaks of being human.

@Joseph Maynor I wrote a long response but ended up deleting it right away. As things stand, it would require a shit ton of effort to get this ability across. 

Consider what it takes to recognize skill in others, and what it takes to learn to sort out charlatans from the real deal. What does one pay attention to in this case? And how does one "listen"?

Anyhow, something to look into.

Who would you consider to be a charlatan vs. the real deal?

Having sex with the hottest woman, riding a rollercoaster, partying or going to a great concert, skydiving, vacations, christmas, your wedding, the birth of your child... All of these are great moments, but they'll lose it's psychic magnetic experiencial appeal,

That’s not how it’s supposed to work in practice.

You understand that these material experiences you listed out do not comprise the highest form of happiness or fulfillment by themselves. Yet they are part of your conscious experience as a human.

Getting in touch with your Absolute nature allows you to see and experience these things from a higher vantage point. And just because you’ve had Awakenings does not necessitate the denial of your desire to experience these finite forms of Love.

After all- Having sex with someone you consider a 10, or eating some good food- does something for you that sitting in a cave contemplating God cannot do (and vice versa). We can learn to appreciate both as part of conscious experience.
