When can not fully shift or change if there is no awareness for without awareness and the light it brings we would not even be able to acknowledge that we are not in alignment with what is true for us.
One way we can engage our awareness is simply by asking questions we are very quick to ask questions but we are not so quick to allow ourselves the time to let our awareness settle on what the answer is, for in truth we already know it but we just don't want to face it because that means a change will have to be made and the ego or ignorance hates change.
The ego would much rather you stumble in the dark than move into the light, for it acknowledges that if you do it will loss the power it has had over you.
