What are the 4 stages of spiritual awakening?
Did you know there were four levels of consciousness or spiritual awakening? What are they and what is the purpose of changing or up-leveling your consciousness?
Whether you have just started to work on your spirituality or you are much further on your path, it is essential to understand where you are on the path of spiritual awakening because each level coincides with the level of ease in your life.
Level 1: Victim Consciousness
In victim consciousness, human beings have the sense that life “Is Happening To Me.” In this phase of spiritual awakening, things are being done to you. You have the sense that things are out of control in your life. You are in other words the “victim of fate.” In this phase, you might cry out “why does this always happen to me.” What is this pattern? Why is this happening again. In this phase, you might feel burdened by life and at its mercy.
You may be aware that many people in your family or in your circle of friends operate from this mindset.
What many people don’t know is that you can shift from this phase of awakening into a new awakening level—manifestor consciousness.
Level 2: Manifestor Consciousness
Those in the manifestor consciousness level of spiritual awakening realize that there is a connection between thought, action and creation. As the Reverend Michael Beckwith states, this is the phase of “by me.” They are no longer at the mercy of “god” or “fate” but rather are able to manifest and bring things into existence.
You may have watched the move “The Secret.” In it, the teachers and guides often spoke about the relationship between “think, believe and receive.”
But in this phase of consciousness, there are several other stages of awakening that come about.
First you must master your thoughts.
If what you believe is true, then you must first master where your thoughts go….this takes time understanding that thought is energy and can create matter.
This is also the phase in which you must master keeping those thoughts positive and in alignment with goodness. You are learning to keep your vibe high.
Then you must master your faith
This is where trust comes into play. For in order to receive, you must trust and believe that what is meant for you can happen. You must have faith.
Then you must master the ability to receive
This is where vibrational matching comes in. Your vibration has already shifted by changing your thoughts and having the power of positive thinking.
Many people get frustrated in this phase of spiritual awakening because there are several stages and layers of “Manifestor consciousness” including healing, action and clearing.
You may realize that while you can bring things into your life, through laws of attraction, yet you don’t always keep them because you are not “in vibrational alignment.”
When you are using manifesting…you are often coming from a place of ego—this is what I should have. This is what I think I need. This is what society is telling me I should have at this phase of my life. This is who I should be in order to please society, my circle or my profession. You may not be able to retain them because it is not a match for your life path or the truth of who you really are or even your vibrational alignment at the time.
But, those items are functionally operating from your ego rather than your soul. At higher stages of awakening you will begin to see that these items are not aligned with your soul.
In this level of manifestation, you begin to learn that you must clear patterns that keep our vibrations low, in chaos, in gossip, in toxic, draining or unhealthy relationships. You must break free from social expectations into your own life path—you must learn how to become the fullest expression of YOU.
Once you have leveled up your consciousness through healing, clearing and action, you can move into vibrational alignment or “higher consciousness.”
In Manifestor consciousness, you will master manifesting items, healing your past patterns, cleansing your spirit from past pains, listening to your inner voice for guidance and learning when to get into action and or remain in receiving mode. This is about creating a vibrational match between thought, word and action.
This is a masculine stage of life where you are in “action” and doing things to clear up your energy to get to the next phase of your life which is to “allow.”
Level 3: Channel Consciousness
Things are happening through you. You are in alignment with your life path and you understand and surrender to the timing of your life. You don’t have to work as hard as you have achieved a level of consciousness in which there is significantly more ease.
You are in full “receiving mode” understanding that your life has its own timing and timeliness for how things will unfold. You have moved into a more feminine stage of existence.
You are the embodiment of faith in your own destiny and life fulfillment.
You are a channel for the divine wisdom and your life gifts to the world.
Level 4: Oneness or Being Consciousness.
According to Beckwith, this final stage of consciousness is “Being” or oneness with who you are and the collective. This is the stage of “as me.”
You begin to see how you are everyone and everyone is you. You are compassion incarnated because you are the fullest expression of who you are and you can inspire others to be more of themselves through your light.
