Double Whammy

 Two things get in the way of becoming who we are supposed to be.  One is illusion and the other is conceit.  The illusion comes from pretending to be someone we are not.  The conceit comes from pursuing this illusion with all our energy.  We dress, act, talk as the illusion.  We are not fulfilled, yet the ego does not give up simply because we are a bit out of sorts or unaligned with who we really are.  A spiritual path of meditation will eventually bring us around to the path we are supposed to be on.  Alone, letting go of our false self for a bit each day, in the silence and stillness, allows space for someone else to begin to peak at us.  That someone else has been hidden by the double whammy of illusion and conceit.  A spiritual power will show you how to be your truer self.  Acceptance will come in time.
