Lightbulb Pattern when experimenting with polarity

I've had an interesting experience when experimenting with polarity, and I'm curious if anyone else has had the same experience. It is, in short, is about having a peak experience when beginning an experiment with a polarity, and then struggling to regain that experience.

Near the end of last year I did a 30 day trial on using fear polarity, and I've recently begun experimenting with love polarity. With both of these experiments, near the beginning I had a peak experience where I got into the mindset of the polarity very strongly.

With fear polarity I felt like I had grasped the idea of my own mortality and took charge of the situation to ensure I squeezed the most enjoyment out of life. I stopped concerning myself with my obligations to other people and got very strongly into my own desires. I felt very powerful and very good emotionally.

I had an analogous experience recently when experimenting with love polarity. I was listening to "The True Nature of Reality" podcast and thinking about the ideas of subjective reality and fundamental safety. I Got it, and felt safe. Because I felt safe myself, I didn't need to worry about myself and my attention went to what I could give to others. I felt very creative and loving, and as with fear polarity (but in a completely different way), I felt very good emotionally.

Each of these peak experiences lasted for roughly a few hours. Afterward, I had difficulty getting back into the same mindset. When I consider why, I would guess that in each case I had gathered some favourable set of conditions to get into the mindset, but afterwards my craving to repeat the experience got in the way.

Has anyone experienced a similar pattern? Any ideas about what's going on under the surface, or do you have any guidance for working through it?

Thanks!
Rohan
