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.

This man sprinted the summit of mount Fuji with both his ankles snared in Bear traps,
but before that,
He wheelied his motor cycle for 10,000 consecutive kilometers on his way to mount Fuji,
but before that,
He ripped off the metal siding on his house the night before and used it to forge the motorcycle with his bare hands...while he was asleep.

Dude! Old Spice Guy's voice is like liquid manliness flowing
through my eardrums.
Person: Sir, the Old Spice Guy is calling from his Jet pilot submarine station...inside a whale.
Chuck Norris: I'm scared.

Get the spillage mug.Spiritual enlightenment is the discovery of a whole dimension of yourself hidden in plain sight that you had never experienced before: your true Self. This dimension is not perceivable with the senses because it’s not within the field of your awareness. Instead, it is the source and ground of your awareness itself.
Therefore, you can’t know this dimension with the mind. You can only know it by being it, which activates a dormant cognitive device far superior to the mind. This is achieved by forgoing all mental distractions and allowing every bit of your awareness to return to its source. Because when the full weight of your attention rests idly on its ground, a sinkhole opens up into this dimension and you become your true Self.
The inexpressible knowledge that you gain by being your Self is so astonishingly clear, certain, and revealing that it blows your mind and shatters all your previous ideas and conceptions of reality. This knowledge affords a vantage point from which you realize that while everything that you perceive (i.e. your mind, your body, and the entire physical universe) is transitory and ephemeral, your true Self exists absolutely, beyond time and space, always here and always now.
Furthermore, being your Self brings with it an unshakeable state of peace and fulfillment that is completely indescribable; a glorious state in which being, knowing, and loving are one and the same. Because in that state, all is one, and your Self is all that exists.
