[[Awakening doesn't mean never getting triggered again]]. If one glimpse of [[Awakening]] was all that was needed to unburden our [[Parts]], then our spiritual traditions wouldn't place such emphasis on seclusion and rejecting all that is worldly. They have done so because the circumstances of life can be triggering for parts. It can be much easier to access and remain in [[Self]] when secluded. But we can heal our [[Parts]] and help them release the burdens that cause them to contract when faced with triggering circumstances: [[Unburdening parts]]. And in doing so, we can become [[Self-led]], which isn't just being more awakened. It's about healing our parts and earning the trust their trust so that we can call on them to use their unique talents and qualities without the needless suffering: [[Parts are valuable]] and [[Unburdened protectors can use their talents without suffering]]. And if we can a full and engaged life as our true [[Self]] without getting lost in the identities and suffering of our [[Parts]], then why not? Why not connect with others? Why not create beauty and knowledge? Why not solve problems? Why not play and have fun?
