Sure..if only they would express it consciously more often! Most people do not recognize the self-serving aspects that come with expectations. Parents for example naturally want what's best for their child. The stronger a parent places expectations and ideals on the child, the more self-serving the act becomes. Morals and ethics are one thing, but many parents expect a certain life-path which doesn't embrace the individuality of the child.

I was coming from the perspective that the more you understand of yourself and your surroundings in an esoteric sense, the more you become open to the subtleties of the illusory reality. I was making a link with your transpersonal mind statement.
