Michael Beckwith’s Four Stages of Consciousness provides an amazing map for the territory of the journey to feel like the real you again. Like all maps it shows you where you are. And where you could go. This clarity then enables you to choose where you want to go.
My colleague and I were having a planning meeting and this model appeared on my Facebook feed. Then a good friend mentioned it that very same day! Life was telling me to look at this model again, one I hadn’t seen for years. As I looked, I realised it was the perfect framework for our project and it inspired me to write this post.
Which stage are you at?
Have a look at the image and consider which one resonates the most for you right now.
You can read more about Michael’s model here.
Then I remembered my own version of this model. I created it way back around 2019, never having seen Michael’s version before! Cat Hase led a creative workshop for an event I used to run, and this image appeared “Through Me” as an expression of the awakening journey I’d been on till that point.
Now, the most recent iteration of my experience has been my movement into Michael’s 4th “As Me” position, which in my image would become an eye that sits behind the whole thing.
That which knows, or is aware of, all content of experience.
That which we essentially are. (But we decided that made the image look too cluttered so we left stage 4 out!)
So why am I sharing all this?
Because models and representations, or maps, like this, are really useful to give us a feel for the ‘lay of the land’. We can look at the map and see ourself reflected back. And this is helpful.
As you consider where you are on these maps, remember that we are never fixed in one position (for example, look at the flash of victim I experienced in last week’s post).
But your predominant experience will be in one of these four positions.
What you’re doing with these maps is simply considering what is broadly true for you. Or noticing key areas where you drop into Level 1 or 2.
The key is to recognise it. Then change can happen.
Change naturally occurs from honestly seeing how things actually are right now.
So whatever you see in these two different maps of the same territory is awesome. Whatever your predominant position is right now, see that.
See where you are, recognise it, and then you will naturally move towards what feels right for you next.
Revealing the real you, Helen
Since writing this post I discovered the best solution for rising through the levels of consciousness. You no longer have to just witness it and hope the change happens in the direction you want…you can actually do something about it.
In 2024 I discovered the Mace Energy Method™ . This fast, precise process removes the negative identities that keep you struggling in Levels 1 and 2. Resulting in more of 3, and ultimately more of Level 4.
I work with high achieving leaders and entrepreneurs who (like I did) have spent their life working hard, striving, and efforting their way through….for what?
Only to reach mid-life and wonder what it was all for.
When you’re ready to rise to levels to 3 and 4 – reliably, precisely, and fast… start here.
