In Exile we were shattered to pieces, our minds were very constricted (מוחין דקטנות) and we became accustomed to viewing ourselves as individuals and to focus on our own spiritual growth. Now we need to wake up, expand our minds to become accustomed to a greater mindset (מוחין דגדלות), the paradigm of Redemption which is very broad. We need to be able to incorporate that which is out of the personal space of ourselves and our families.
It is very difficult to expand ones consciousness. Over the centuries the mindset of exile has become instilled deep within ourselves and it is difficult to remove that mindset and to expand it. When we encounter works of Torah that speak of concepts of an expanded consciousness, concepts such as "All Jews share one soul but are in separate bodies, they are viewed as theoretical ideas and are not truly understood. They certainly don't make their way into the worldview of people despite the amount of time people spend discussing these ideas.
For the sake of redemption we must awaken from this slumber to receive the consciousness of Redemption.
