Spiritual Awakening
What you call "your life in this world" is a mere superposition of the life of a human being on top of your Self. As a result, you are prevented from remembering your true identity and tricked into believing that everything that happens to that human being is really happening to you.
The effect is very much like one of those shows where images and sounds are projected on the facade of a building, creating the illusion that the building is actually changing or crumbling. The projected images and sounds are not real, only the underlying building is. But the illusion is so compelling that it makes you doubt your senses.
Similarly, "your life in this world" is such a compelling illusion that you lose awareness of your underlying true Self. Nevertheless, being the only real part of the illusion, you will emerge unscathed and shining in all your splendor once the show is over, just like the buildings on which those images are projected.
Spiritual awakening is the uncovering of this illusion and the discovery of your Self while still in this life.
