4 Perceptual Levels of Conscious Awareness
4 Cyclical Levels of Spiraled Spiritual Awakening and Consciousness
- Equilibrium
- Expansion
- Stasis
- Contraction
I got the idea based upon the 4 levels of perception from Barbara Brennan’s book, Core Light Healing. She calls them Stasis, Expansion, Stasis, Contraction. I changed the 1st Stasis to Equilibrium based upon my own experiences and how I feel it correlates to expanded states of conscious awareness. The definition of stasis in Greek is “stand or stoppage,” which means that one is in the void without any movement forward. Equilibrium in Latin means, “balance.” Even though both Stasis and Equilibrium are synonyms they are not the same, thus, this is why I felt it was important to change it.
There are four levels of spiritual awakening and awareness that humans pulse in and out of up the spiral crystal ladder of consciousness. As we go through life and become more aware, and as our perception expands into multidimensional realities, we cycle through these 4 levels of awareness, integration of knowledge, and understanding of our reality and the universe. This is within the metaphysical spiritual domain of pure consciousness, as we begin climbing the spiral crystal ladder to an expanded understanding of consciousness, and universal principles of perceptual intuitive understanding of universal thought and expanded awareness of reality beyond this third dimension. ALL of us go through this and have experienced these 4 levels of consciousness either knowingly or unknowingly. As we bring light to the 4 levels, we can reflect upon the experiences throughout life and gain a deeper understanding into expanded and multidimensional awareness and cognition. Awareness of the 4 levels allows one to pierce the veiled liminal layer beyond this reality and we gain access to realities that are unseen and untouched by most humans on the planet.
Each one of the 4 levels is integral to each other. Without one, we cannot expand to higher, more dense layers of understanding and consciousness. When I speak of dense, I am talking about light, dense with light. It reminds me of denser layers of webs embedded within each other, like synapses in the brain. The density allows for deeper understanding and integration of the knowledge one has received. Our expanded dense light web allows for further reach and understanding of reality as the spiral moves up and expands out. Like the synapses, they are all connected pulsing on and off and reach further into the unknown realities. The process in which we go through within the 4 levels, is imperative so that each builds upon the other.
The 4 Levels, What Are They?
- Equilibrium: This is the state of balance and opposite and opposing forces influencing one another in a balanced state in mind, body, and spirit. This is when the opposing forces of expansion and contraction are balanced and integrated into the whole system. There is force on either end, and you feel calm and whole. You understand life and feel good about yourself. Energy flows without control and you are in “right relation” with yourself, others, Earth, and the Universe.
Adjectives that describe this state: Balanced, harmonious, integrated, centered, grounded, peaceful, aligned, calm, wholesome, coherent, flowing, steady, serene, clear, empowered, unified, stable, radiant, rooted, attuned, open, content, resonant, vital, present.
- Expansion: The expansion state allows you to move out of this 3rd dimensional reality and begin understanding things that are Universal and deep. This is when synchronicities happen and all of a sudden you start understanding the deeper questions you have been asking. This happens out of nowhere. There is heightened energy, and heightened extra sensory perception. One thing after another comes into your conscious awareness, as if it was a packet of massive information dropped into your brain. You find things easily and you're able to understand things that others don’t see. One thing after another comes into your awareness super fast. Your human sensory perception is revved up and turned on into turbo mode. Altered states of consciousness occur in this stage, as well as paranormal experiences. It's almost as if you are super human and you are walking between dimensions as you have broken out of the veil of this reality and into spiritual dimensions that are beyond our 3rd dimensional reality. It feels expansive and exhilarating.
Adjectives that describe this state: Expansive, heightened, aware, perceptive, insightful, supercharged, intuitive, tuned-in, energized, elevated, transcendent, multidimensional, altered, accelerated, flowing, magnetic, clairvoyant or the “claires”, telepathic, limitless, interdimensional, euphoric, illuminated, mystical, surreal, activated, awakened, visionary, rapid, clear, unbound, synced, powerful, majestic, extraordinary, otherworldly.
- Stasis: In this level all of sudden everything freezes in mid air. All energy and expansion stops and you are not moving forward or in altered states of consciousness. There is a dull feeling, and you can't get the downloads as you were before. It’s almost like someone paused the movie and you are frozen in time. It feels weird since you want more understanding and awareness but nothing is coming. It is almost like the energy completely paused and stopped since there was so much forward momentum from the expansion stage that the movement within the body, mind, and soul can’t handle it anymore and it needs a break and rest. This is when you are paused in the void and all of the information that you have received needs to be integrated. YOU cannot move on until all the energy is integrated into the whole hyperdimensional system.
Adjectives that describe this state: Frozen, paused, still, suspended, dull, blocked, heavy, muted, stagnant, inert, halted, void-like, disoriented, numb, dense, motionless, disconnected, quiet, stuck, unclear, weird, empty, slowed, compressed, overloaded, drained, neutral, unresponsive, waiting, silent, pressured, inward, integrating.
- Contraction: In this state the energy begins to move and turns into itself. Deep contemplation occurs. Layers of deep reflection and understanding pulsate inwards towards the center. This is the integration of the expansion phase into yourself as you begin stepping forward on the spiral ladder into the next phase of awareness. The energy has to accumulate to begin the forward motion into equilibrium to begin to step into the next phase of universal perception and awareness. You also begin to accumulate more light and energy within the layers of the Human Energy Field and in each chakra as it resonates with more sophisticated frequencies of light and information. This permeates all layers of the human energy system as well as the soul and oversoul. This is when the soul and universe knows that you are learning and integrating within this density.
Adjectives that describe this state: Inward, reflective, contemplative, integrating, focused, deep, centering, internal, quiet, compressed, pulsating, thoughtful, dense, grounding, accumulating, recalibrating, introspective, resonant, still, layered, soulful, absorbing, luminous, preparatory, stabilizing, inward-turning, concentrated, sacred, magnetic, aligned, permeating.
After you have completed one spiral, you begin the process over again as your awareness and perception expands beyond non-local reality beyond the liminal veil between the 3rd density and and universe. Each time you go through this process you climb the crystal spiral ladder. This process is an engagement that one must seek and want to be in connection with. It is possible to go through life stuck in stasis if one does not ask questions or wants to know the deeper meaning of life and Universe. The Universe wants interaction and communication. One must communicate and ask the 3 most fundamental questions in this 3rd density reality.
- Who am I?
- Why am I here?
- What am I supposed to do and learn?
These questions thrust you into seeking, and higher levels of awareness. When you ask these questions, you will begin the 4 Cyclical Levels of Spiraled Spiritual Awakening and Consciousness. Ask questions, and be discerning. Do not give up. We have a right to know who we are and why we are here.
Matthew 7:7-8
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”
The Universe is waiting for your response…
