You may be confusing consciousness with awareness. The ego is telling you that you are more aware than others and separating you from the rest of the world. Just because you think are more aware or have more knowledge than the average passerby doesn't mean you have a higher level of consciousness. I struggled with this for a long time during my awakening process. My ego wanted to feel superior because I was a little more enlightened. This actually created a void between myself and others. I felt as if very few if any could offer anything and I became miserable. Living in harmony with the world around you plays a huge part in the mastery of your life. Always remain open and teachable or growth will stagnate. We may know allot about allot of things but it's impossible to know everything. Higher consciousness occurs when we achieve total peace and harmony with the world around us.
