Anything we point to of time/space is an experience. Realization is beyond those bounds, it's the container of those bounds in a way. Experiences come and go, the 'emptiness' is all that is ever there.
The pointer to the OP is to not focus so much on the experience because to think in terms of experience is to be bound by space/time. That is duality, confusion, suffering. It's where the OP's question comes from. Realization isn't really about a moment, it's about realization (it really is hard to talk about 'non-duality'... hah, or maybe I'm just bad at it). The mind wants to think realization happened within space/time, but eventually even that is seen through.
If you know yourself to be free, just be free... right?
