It is profoundly important to the human experience. It is not a state of enlightenment or spiritual awakening, you are not connecting with God or the universe on a new dimension, but rather you are simply seeing the world from your own eyes, unobstructed, for the first time. You are leaving behind what you’ve been taught and the rules you’ve been told exist. It is a powerful moment and thus can be frightening and disturbing. It is the realization that everything you know is suddenly incorrect or misguided and is not easy to swallow, but it is necessary for growth.
