PATH TO YOUR GREATEST SELF

At birth we’re ruled by instinct. As we develop thinking, we become ruled by ego, personality and reason. These are the first four steps of ordinary human consciousness development. To take the next steps, detachment is needed. Detachment is the bridge. It takes us from being an ordinary functioning self to being a higher functioning self. Here are the nine steps in this process:

          1. INSTINCT
              Biology and survival rule.

          2. EGO
              Self-centeredness and self-importance rule.

          3. PERSONALITY
              Personal and social biases rule.

          4. REASON
               Rationality and understanding rule.

          5. DETACHMENT
              Impartiality and search for truth rule.

          6. MASTER WILL
              Executive command and integrity rule.

          7. INTUITION
              Higher perception and insight rule.

          8. INSPIRATION
              Energizing revelation and higher purpose rule.

          9. LOVE
              Divine spirit and sublime energy rule.

As you may have noticed, the more we advance along this progression, the fuller functioning and higher guided we become. The first four steps lay the groundwork for ordinary consciousness and functioning. The next five extend consciousness and functioning to a Master Mind level, whereby we raise thought and action to higher levels, i.e., life mastery.

Goodness and joy to all, Joseph.
