The Levels of Human Consciousness

Introduction to Human Consciousness

• The chapter discusses the levels of human consciousness as defined through extensive calibrations, which correlate with specific attitudes and emotions.

• These energy fields are likened to electromagnetic fields that attract certain energies, making it easier for individuals to understand their emotional states.

Logarithmic Scale of Power

• It is emphasized that the calibration numbers represent a logarithmic progression rather than an arithmetic one; thus, moving from 150 to 300 signifies a substantial increase in power.

• As individuals ascend the scale, even small increments can indicate significant advancements in personal power and consciousness.

Impact of Consciousness Levels

• Levels below 200 are destructive both personally and socially, while those above signify constructive expressions of power. The critical threshold is set at level 200.

• Individuals often operate at different levels across various life areas; hence, overall consciousness is a sum of these varying influences.

Level 20: Shame

• At this level, shame is dangerously close to death; it can lead to conscious choices like suicide or subtle forms such as neglecting life-preserving actions.

• Experiences causing shame (e.g., abuse) can permanently alter personality unless addressed therapeutically. This emotion leads individuals to seek invisibility and isolation due to its debilitating nature.

Consequences of Shame

• Shame breeds neurosis and deteriorates emotional health, leading to low self-esteem and susceptibility to physical ailments. Victims may exhibit cruel behavior towards others or animals as a reflection of their internalized shame.

• Those centered on shame may compensate through perfectionism or rigidity, often manifesting in extreme moralistic behaviors or violent acts justified by their feelings of shame.

Level 30: Guilt

• Guilt manifests in various forms such as remorse and self-blame; it serves as a tool for manipulation within society but also leads individuals into cycles of victimhood and self-punishment.

• This emotion can result in psychosomatic illnesses and suicidal tendencies; many struggle with guilt throughout their lives while some deny it entirely due to societal pressures imposed by religious demagogues who exploit guilt for control purposes.

Level 50: Apathy

• Characterized by despair and hopelessness, apathy reflects a state where individuals feel powerless and lack motivation for survival or improvement in their circumstances.

Understanding Emotional Energy Levels

The Impact of Apathy and Sadness

• Apathy is prevalent in society, particularly towards individuals from impoverished backgrounds, leading to a lack of motivation for genuine assistance.

• Sadness represents a low energy state characterized by loss and discouragement; those who remain here often experience chronic lamentation and depression.

• Early life losses can lead to passive acceptance of grief later on, equating emotional loss with the absence of love itself.

• Emotional losses at this level can result in severe depression or even death; however, it possesses more energy than apathy.

• Grief is pervasive and colors one's entire outlook on life, making any loss feel irreparable.

Fear as a Motivator

• At an energy level of 100, fear becomes a significant motivator; it drives constant activity due to perceived dangers in the world.

• Fear manifests as anxiety about various threats (e.g., aging, rejection), becoming a tool for control used by oppressive forces.

• Media exploits fear to manipulate public perception and increase sales; fears are limitless and can become obsessive.

• Fearful thoughts can escalate into paranoia or neurotic defensive structures that inhibit personal growth.

• Those living in fear often seek strong leaders who appear to have conquered their own fears.

Desire: The Drive for Achievement

• At an energy level of 125, desire motivates human activity significantly, influencing economic behaviors through advertising that taps into instinctual needs.

• Desire leads individuals to pursue goals vigorously but can also manifest as addiction when it becomes overwhelming or insatiable.

• The pursuit of approval or material wealth often overshadows personal relationships and well-being due to its insatiable nature.

• Desire is inherently energetic; fulfilling one desire typically leads to the emergence of another, propelling individuals toward achievement if channeled positively.

• Television plays a crucial role in shaping desires among oppressed populations, motivating them towards seeking better lives.

Anger: Catalyst for Change

• Anger emerges at an energy level of 150; while it has destructive potential (e.g., violence), it also signifies movement away from lower states like apathy and sadness.

• Frustration stemming from unmet desires often leads to anger which can catalyze social movements against injustices.

• However, unchecked anger may devolve into resentment or revenge-seeking behavior that harms interpersonal relationships.

Understanding Pride and Its Implications

The Nature of Pride

• Pride is calibrated at a level of 175, which provides enough energy to lead entities like the United States Marines. This level is often aspired to by many individuals today.

• An increase in self-esteem acts as a balm for pain experienced at lower levels of consciousness. Pride appears positive and is displayed prominently in life’s parade.

• Despite its good reputation and social approval, pride remains below the critical level of 200 on the consciousness scale, indicating it has negative aspects that can hinder personal growth.

Vulnerability of Pride

• Pride can quickly revert to lower levels due to its dependence on external conditions, making it vulnerable and defensive. An inflated ego is susceptible to attacks.

• The threat posed by pride includes a fear of loss, leading to division among people and potentially costly consequences. History shows that humans often suffer or even perish due to pride.

Consequences of Arrogance

• Nationalism, religious wars, political terrorism, and fanaticism are manifestations of pride that have led societies into conflict. The dark side of pride includes arrogance and denial that obstruct personal development.

• Denial stemming from pride complicates recovery from addictions as emotional issues or character flaws are ignored. Thus, pride serves as a significant barrier to acquiring true power.
