Hacking Higher Consciousness

Or How to Become Divine?

We’ve been talking a lot lately about the levels of consciousness, how to measure where we’re currently at on the scale of consciousness, and why it matters.

I’ve worked hard to make the topic as digestible as possible, but it can still sometimes take some work to determine how to apply these principles in daily life.

Imagine my joy when I came across the following image on the internet:

The quote appears to be attributed to William Hall and originates from a website called The Minds Journal.

As I sent this quote around to a few friends I was surprised at how many responses I received back, saying something along the lines of, “Wow, this is really helpful!”

A few of them then went on to share a specific situation or person where they applied the concept and how it helped them see the moment differently.

One of the key tenets of the levels of consciousness is that we must all go through each of the stages, in their specific order, and there’s no skipping a step, no exceptions.

All of us (unless you’re a self-realized being) began at zero, and so one of the greatest awakenings we can have is to realize that the person we find chronically challenging (because of their beliefs and/or behaviors) is most likely just at a different stage than we’re currently at. Sometimes they’re at a lower stage, sometimes they’re at a higher stage.

In either case, the most helpful thing we can do is pause and get curious.

Why does that person drive me crazy?

Most of society’s arguments at the moment are rooted in the various tribes (political and otherwise) trying to solve the world’s problems from different levels of consciousness.

Setting aside the political elite (who are mostly at Level 1, Dominance) most people just want to live in a world that’s safe and allows them to take care of their families, with minimum suffering for all.

But a Level 2 (Obedience) approach is going to look different from a Level 3 (Ambition) approach, which will also be different from a Level 4 (Sharing) approach.

Eventually we’ll begin to see the wider spread emergence of Level 5 (Responsibility) thinking that will pull us out of the mire, but in the meantime it’s probably best to work on the expansion of your own consciousness.

And a simple exercise like the one above can help us do that.

Let’s look at it one more time because it’s so powerful:

Instead of viewing others as ‘bad’ or ‘wrong’ or ‘evil’, simply view them as limited.

Their level of consciousness limits them to unpalatable behaviors and they simply cannot do better considering their current level of understanding and awareness.

They are not bad, they are simply limited.

This small shift in perspective allows you greater peace, greater compassion, forgiveness, and grace.

Remember, the higher you move in consciousness, the less fault you find in others.

That final sentence is so important, and a secret shortcut to every spiritual system known to mankind. 

The higher we move in consciousness, the less fault we find in others.

So let’s reverse engineer that: the less fault we find in others, the higher we’ll move in consciousness.

So simple, but not easy.

And yet, when we can see someone in this way, or from this perspective, then we are seeing them the way the Divine sees them. Does the Divine find fault in others?

No.

And so when we see anyone the way the Divine sees them, we are effectively seeing with the eyes of the Divine.

And when we see with the eyes of the Divine, we are becoming more of the Divine, or said another way, the Divine is shining through us.

And this is the entire purpose of growing in consciousness…

to eventually become Divine.
