Pay attention to the picture. Here is a map of D. Hawkins' consciousness. It displays energy levels and the corresponding energy score on a scale from 20 to 1000. The lowest level is a shame of 20 points. This is a state close to death, a state of complete physical and moral decline. The highest state, not clouded by convictions and beliefs, is 1000. At this level there were Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad, etc. Moving from 0 to 1000, a person’s perception changes, from a perception based on fear, survival, to a perception based on love, authentic life. Each level has its own state, emotion, process, perception of life and God. They are like guidelines that allow you to determine your level of consciousness. Defenses should be kept in mind before determining a baseline. It often happens that a person thinks one thing about himself, but in fact demonstrates another. Honesty and sincerity towards yourself is important here. The basic level of consciousness is determined by the state that you experience in an extreme situation. In this context, an extreme situation is an everyday situation that can make you angry: someone stepped on your foot, abandoned you by a loved one, cut you off on the road, bathed in a puddle, laughed at you, shouted at you, etc. At this moment you fall to a level below, which is the real level of your consciousness. So here it is. The base level of consciousness is the level to which you fall during an extreme situation. It's easy to be enlightened in the Himalayas, try it in the bazaar or during rush hour. Here's more about the same thing. It is at the market, during rush hour, that the basic level of consciousness is determined. Not when you sit at home in comfort, but when you go beyond these limits or life throws you out. Here you go. Now remember your extreme situations, at work, in relationships, in business, with other people, during rush hour, in a traffic jam, in an accident, at the doctor’s, and so on. The level you fell to is what it is. They shouted at you, and you felt fear. Please, here is your level of consciousness, which corresponds to 75 units. When the norm is 200+ (courage). You can divide life into several areas: love, relationships, work, sex, health, money. And look through the prism of each area at your own level of consciousness, manifested in an extreme situation. At work there can be courage, but in sex there is shame, guilt, shame. Or vice versa. For some, just hearing the phrase big money causes fear or shame. Once you've built your map, you can take an honest look at where you should go. In what area is the failure and what needs to be worked out, what is the condition. After that, get to work and go! At least some courage to begin with. To the courage to love, earn money, create, have sex, communicate with people, and finally live! Make a map. Build directions. And start your course. May this journey be exciting and bring many fruits. Believe me, it will bring it. As you work through these states, you will throw off stones and take off. Feel lighter and freer. I guarantee you this for sure!
