As We Awaken . . .
As we awaken spiritually we become more conscious and aware. We begin to see and understand more about what is going on around us. We become more consciously “present” in the present.
As we continue to awaken we begin the process of unifying our self, our consciousness, with the ”rest” of the world. We start to heal the illusion of separation that exists between our self and the world, the world we have believed - falsely - to be separate, distinct and apart from us.
Until we begin to awaken, we are unconscious most of the time, living life inside our “head.” For the most part, we are lost and absorbed in a private world of our own, our thoughts often centering on the past or the future.

Dropping Our Masks.
You are quite right, we do burden ourselves and others when we try ”to please, impress and perfect, etc. others.” One of our most significant spiritual leaps is when we decide to drop the masks we wear, worn in part in order to conceal what we consider are our human frailties and shortcomings, and to present what we believe is a better- self, or “face,” to the world. (My series, “Quest For the Soul,” examines how and why we manufacture these false-selves, or masks. ) Our task, as we journey towards wholeness and enlightenment, is to become aware of these masks, and, learn how to let them go.
