It is not uncommon that an individual experience a spontaneous breakthrough to Awareness only to lose that opportunity for a shift in being, in a drift back to normalcy. They had an "experience". For what ever reason they slipped into the experience of a higher reality. This "experience" is remembered like a dream, and they go on about their lives unchanged.
Meditation is a preparation just like the tilling of a field. Without the cultivation of emptiness the natural press of creature hood will subsume the seeds of Enlightenment when they spontaneously emerge.
An ancient master once remarked "Meditation is the brick with which we knock at the door".
