Yes, practicing humility can take you a long ways on the spiritual path. Learning how to let go is crucial. Spiritual
enlightenment is not and escape from this world, but it definitely and dramatically changes your perspective.
To be in this world literally experiencing that you are not of this world. I am of the belief that everyone will eventually
experience what we may call and awakened state, or enlightenment, or self realization. I believe it is our destiny and
our divine inheritance, but there is no goal as the journey is infinite, and being awakened just puts you on a deeper path.
