Four Phases of Awareness: Not by the Clock

Dedicated to my brother, Paul.

If I can indulge myself in a fantasy for a moment amid all the hubbub at this time of year, on top of the lockdowns, child rescue, sexual harassment, climate change, and the fall of the cabal…. I forgot Evergrande? Chinese dams breaking? Weather-warfare tornadoes?

Excuse me.

On top of all that, if I can fantasize for a moment, being in lockdown and on Pause, with almost nowhere to go from my cocoon….

I see the typical person going through a number of stages of awareness. The first is when we’re born until socialization kicks in. We just be. We may not even be aware of ourselves, although the children being born today probably are.

The second is when socialization kicks in. Then we’re taught to be nice, polite, and helpful; in other words, a benefit to the setting and not a cost.

The third kicks in when it does and it’s a desire to be the best human we can be. It may be an impulse from within a corporate structure. On the bench. In politics. In medicine, in education. Whatever.

The fourth is rarely considered and almost never followed. When we see someone following it, we stand in awe. This stage is when we determine to be godlike.

We know that the purpose of life is for us to know who we are. And we’re committed to doing that. We already know the intellectual answer – we’re God. God is everything so how could we not be God? Now we have to realize it.

And one way to do that is to become like God in every way. That is the challenge. It means stepping outside the herd. I don’t think I’d advertise it if I did. But we’re committed to pushing our edge.

Another way to do that is to emulate and desire to experience the divine qualities – forever – like love, bliss, and ecstasy. Again, stepping outside the herd. (1)

There are undoubtedly infinite ways in which we might become godlike. I’m looking from this opening perspective and only see a few. (Even speaking about the subject has me feel the nervousness at stepping outside the herd.)

However, if you don’t mind being out on the skinny branches, all alone, then try being godlike. Quietly. Humbly. Like Jesus.

Invoke the universal laws. Use affirmations. Whatever works for you to reparent yourself (cleanse, purify yourself) and bring yourself to Self-Realization, which is the goal.

These stages, as far as I can see, happen when they do. Like all of spiritual evolution, (2) they don’t conform to a clock. All of this conforms to internal conditions and events. The external are simply the pre-planned triggers.

All of this is about how we feel, what we experience, and how we translate that into information that will help us to realize ourselves.

And then, when we’re ready, our Higher Self, our guides, and our archangels pull the cord.

And this, by the way, will be going on all over the planet, when we’re ready – not by the clock.
