Recently, I heard a description of the balancing act between our roles & the "worldly" self and the pure spirit or Real Self: It is a dance, moving in this world using our roles and senses, then whirling out to observe from a different center, disengaging the ego so we have more energy and space from which to love and be. You are right, it is a challenge, and we get caught up, easily, in our words and traps, like confusing a spiritual practice with Spirit when it has become another role. Words and analysis are almost futile. I like the image of dancing - I have more hope in that image : )
