requires patience, kindness, truthfulness, humility, forgiveness.

In a <a title="Secular" class="mw-redirect" href="/wiki/Secular">secular</a> context, higher consciousness is usually associated with exceptional <a title="Self control" href="/wiki/Self_control">control</a> over one's <a title="Mind" href="/wiki/Mind">mind</a> and <a title="Will (philosophy)" href="/wiki/Will(philosophy)">will</a>, <a title="Intellect" class="mw-redirect" href="/wiki/Intellect">intellectual</a> and <a title="Morality" href="/wiki/Morality">moral</a> <a title="Enlightenment (concept)" href="/wiki/Enlightenment(concept)">enlightenment</a>, and profound <a title="Personal development" href="/wiki/Personal_development">personal growth</a>.<a href="#cite_note-0"><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-0">[1]</sup></a>. In a spiritual context, It may also be associated with <a title="Transcendence (religion)" href="/wiki/Transcendence_(religion)">transcendence</a>, spiritual enlightenment, and <a title="Religious experience" href="/wiki/Religious_experience">union</a> with the <a title="Divinity" href="/wiki/Divinity">divine</a>.<a href="#cite_note-1"><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1">[2]</sup></a>

As a result of the phenomenon of <a title="Psychological projection" href="/wiki/Psychological_projection">projection</a>, the cause of such <b>a person's suffering is often seen to lie in outer circumstances or other individuals.</b> One prerequisite for the development of consciousness is the understanding that <a title="Suffering" href="/wiki/Suffering">suffering</a> and <a title="Social alienation" href="/wiki/Social_alienation">alienation</a> are one's own responsibility

&#160;

what any in<b>dividual perceives as reality is a picture of the world at one particular moment filtered through his unconscious conditioning – a ‘reality’ that western psychology calls ‘projection’ (</b>i.e., of the contents of the unconscious). Every individual human being has their own store of conditioning based on their unique past experiences. The goal of spiritual practice (<a title="Buddhadharma" class="mw-redirect" href="/wiki/Buddhadharma">buddhadharma</a>, <a title="Shariah" class="mw-redirect" href="/wiki/Shariah">shariah</a>, <a title="Yoga" href="/wiki/Yoga">yoga</a> etc) is the transformation
