Ascending into Divinity

There are seven states of consciousness that exist within each person. These seven states of consciousness influence a person throughout their whole life. I feel that people gain a healthy mental state, by being aware of and opening to the seven states of human consciousness. They are:

1. Body – awareness of self, responsiveness to environment.

2. Fantasy – dream-like state where creative imagination and make believe mix. Absorbed in this state to the exclusion of full Body consciousness. Ex: Athlete’s flow, child’s play

3. Sleep – archetypal symbols and images create potential in people

4. Dark – state where negative energy thrives. Useful to bring awareness to harmful behavior or express evilness.

5. Induced – wherein an external stimulate such as drugs or alcohol alter a person’s conscious state

6. Meditative – relaxed mental state where a person can reach a deeper opening in their mental capacity that will expand awareness and compassion.

7. Universal – union of the mind with a higher spiritual power and sacred wisdom. The illusionary sense of life is removed and Truth or Enlightenment is fully realized.

These states are not limited to developmental or age-related stages of awareness or consciousness because these states are inherent conscious abilities that are built-in to a person’s mental design. Oftentimes, a child is observed in various states of consciousness that an adult has been conditioned to repress.

The degree within each level of consciousness fluctuates from person to person and from situation to situation. These levels are not static. A person may move into deeper or lighter states of consciousness. Not everyone will experience all seven levels. However, a person may move through one or more levels in a single day.

I feel that each level of consciousness is there to guide a person through the experience of awakening to the richness of life. By opening to these different levels and being present in each one, an individual may move through life more balanced and fulfilled. The first six levels of consciousness provide a path to the ultimate opening into Universal Consciousness.                 (Tree of Life Theory, Teresa Carlson)

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“Let your Spirit lead higher into a deeper consciousness, more in tune with the frequency of the Divine.” tc

Framed Ascension

Too many times, we forget that our guidance in life ought to come in the form of the spirit leading the body and not the body leading the spirit. There are many reasons why this happens: 1) We have not been taught that there is a divine creator behind all that exists. 2) We are not at a state of acceptance of something larger than ourselves actually being in control of our lives. 3) We deny the truth for personal gain.
When we put aside our ego and let the spirit lead the way, regardless of what happens in our life, it all works out in the end. No matter how many steps we have to climb in order to reach the top, each stride is one closer to the greatest knowledge ever known.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"Let your spirit take you higher as you ascend the ladder of ultimate consciousness." tc
