Everything in life has a part and a role to play and a significance and an importance.
Unfortunately, sometimes people overestimate the importance of stuff like consciousness raising or consciousness alteration. In so doing, they can fail to see the consequences of how work on that kind of stuff, without understanding the necessity to be right at other levels, will actually make for more dysfunctional people and more dysfunctional lives. And then people end up blaming the fact that they are not functional on this earthly level, in normal life, on other people not being as spiritual as them, rather than seeing that the problem results from their being so over-focused on the spiritual that nobody can relate to them and they cannot relate to anyone else. Their spirituality has no effective importance and is probably more in their imagination than anywhere because they cannot direct it into a manifestation in any real way.
