The Three Levels of Consciousness

We saw yesterday how changing our mindset and increasing our human awareness can help us to resolve problems. Today I’d like to introduce you to the three levels of consciousness, which will help you to gauge where you are on the ladder of awareness.

Throughout your life, you can measure yourself on the following three levels of consciousness. Few, if any of us, ever stay at any one level all of the time. These levels of awareness are presented from lowest to highest.

The first level is ego consciousness. In ego consciousness, your primary emphasis is on your personality and your body. There’s an exceptionally strong belief in your separateness from everyone else, from all that you’d like to attract into your life, and from God. This attitude puts you into a state of competing for your share as if your job is to get there first. Winning and being number one seem to be the most important things you can do when you live at the level of ego consciousness. You spend a lot of your time measuring your success on the basis of how you stack up against others. If you have more than others, you feel better about yourself. Having more money makes you feel better. Accumulating more awards and prestige and climbing higher on the corporate ladder encourage you to feel good about yourself. Ego consciousness prods you to compete, compare, and conclude that you are the best, so you concentrate on running faster and looking better than others. It’s at this level of consciousness that problems exist. This is where inner peace is virtually impossible and success eludes you, because you must always be striving to be someplace else.

In order to walk comfortably along the extra mile, you must tame this ever-demanding, impossible-to-satisfy ego. Feelings of despair, anger, hatred, bitterness, stress, and depression stem from the ego’s anxiety and insistence on living up to an external standard. The result is the anguish of not measuring up or fitting in properly. The ego will seldom allow you to rest, and demands more and more because it’s terrified that you’ll be called a failure. When you move beyond ego and make your higher self the dominant force in your life, you’ll begin to feel that contentment and inner glow of peace and success that characterize the extra mile.
