When you realize who you are, you can make your decisions from the heart.  You can be guided by higher insights.  Other humans may ask you, however, “On what are you basing this decision?”  In a world of humans who are at varying stages of awakening, the answer, “I am following my heart” is at times not sufficient for others.  And so, you do your human due diligence.  You play by the rules of the game, all along knowing that in the end you will follow your heart and the inner guidance.  In this way, you walk that balance between the two worlds.  In the end, you see that the heart guided you correctly, and all are thus satisfied.  This is how you are in the world, yet you know you are not of it.
