Embrace Your Spiritual Journey

Embrace Your Spiritual Journey: Understanding the Four Stages

Hello Beautiful Souls,

Welcome back to Mindful Soul Energy. I’m Alyssa, and today, I want to dive into the fascinating topic of spiritual journeys. No matter where you are on your path, remember that it is exactly perfect. Every stage holds profound lessons, and skipping ahead can lead to spiritual bypassing. Let’s explore the four distinct parts of the journey that I’ve experienced so far, and how they connect to David Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness.

The Victim Stage: “Why Is This Happening to Me?”

In the beginning, our response to anything undesirable is often, “Why is this happening to me?” We view ourselves as victims of an unfair life. This stage is characterized by feelings of powerlessness and frustration. It’s crucial to recognize this as a starting point, not a final destination. According to Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness, this stage aligns with lower levels of consciousness such as Shame, Guilt, and Fear. These emotions, while challenging, are part of the journey and essential for growth.

The Student Stage: “This Is Happening for Me”

As we start our spiritual path, our perspective evolves to, “This is happening for me.” We begin to see life’s challenges as tests or lessons. Our view of a higher power is often transactional—if I’m a really good human, I will achieve abundance. This stage correlates with the levels of Courage, Neutrality, and Willingness on Hawkins’ scale. It’s a period of learning and growing, where we start to see the purpose behind our experiences.

The Creator Stage: “I’m the Creator of My Experience”

Further down the path, we realize, “I’m the creator of my experience.” We understand that our actions, choices, and karma shape our reality. However, this is also when a bit of spiritual ego can creep in. We might look down on others for their “low vibe” or feel the need to constantly assert our spiritual identity. This stage often corresponds with the levels of Acceptance and Reason. It’s essential to recognize the ego’s desire to attach to an identity and gently steer away from it.

The Knower Stage: “I Know Myself as the Creator”

The deeper we go, the more we embody the understanding, “I know myself as the creator of my experience.” This is where theory turns into reality. We start to release our spiritual ego and live authentically. According to Hawkins, this stage aligns with higher levels of consciousness such as Love, Joy, and Peace. Here, we experience true empowerment and connection with our higher self.

Embrace Each Stage of Your Journey! Remember, each stage of the spiritual journey is valuable. Trying to jump ahead can lead to spiritual bypassing, where we ignore necessary healing and growth in favor of perceived advancement. Embrace where you are and trust that it’s exactly where you need to be.

Who is David Hawkins?

David Hawkins was a renowned spiritual teacher, psychiatrist, and author, best known for his groundbreaking work in the field of consciousness research. He dedicated his life to exploring human consciousness and its impact on our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. His seminal book, Power vs. Force, introduced the Map of Consciousness, a revolutionary scale that measures levels of human awareness and spiritual growth. Hawkins’ teachings emphasize the transformative power of higher states of consciousness and the journey towards enlightenment, making him one of my favorite spiritual guides.
