In the realm of the spirit world we are that which is prior
to any sensation or concept.

Here on earth we live in the world of opposites, the duality that exists everywhere and in everybody, right and wrong, pleasure and pain, etc.  We lose touch with the essential nature of who we already are.

The realization is that the real me is in spite of everything that we do on earth and not because of what we do.  Who we are is the essence of creation, the absolute truth.
