The Consciousness Test in the Pyramid

Elizabeth Haich undergoes a consciousness test inside the pyramid, where she is exposed to increasingly higher levels of consciousness, and in the consciousness she clings to/identifies with—that's where she remains. This test takes place for all of us in every moment.

When we stop clinging to/identifying with a certain layer of our relative existence, with the lowest layer we still cling to/identify with, we experience a rebirth. Our lives reorganize at all levels, and our life experience changes. The rules of the game change.

The first effect felt is relief—suddenly there's much more freedom, and this freedom comes naturally, without the effort that was once required. We gradually identify more and more the influence of our internal reality on physical reality, and new possibilities that weren't accessible to us before come to consciousness as inspiration.

Levels of Consciousness

I'm writing this from my own perspective. At a lower level of consciousness, this text will sound unclear and irrelevant, and someone at a higher level of consciousness will be able to describe what I've described with greater clarity and detail—and more.

The lowest consciousness is survival consciousness. Life appears dark, foggy, blending together. Cause and effect aren't clear; they exist at the intuitive level but aren't accessible to thought. From this arises constant suspicion of everything and a continuous attempt to obtain whatever is currently visible, whatever consciousness is currently focused on. The way to obtain it will be "by any means necessary"—force, emotional and mental manipulations, and if nothing seems to work, then even life-or-death physical violence.

This is the consciousness we return to when we panic.

The next consciousness, second in height, is desire consciousness. In this consciousness, the theme is satisfying sexual desires. It's not just about sex; it relates to senses and various pleasures, different types of physical intimacy, seduction, and instincts. In this consciousness, there's a subconscious understanding that survival is achieved through simple actions, and the focus is not on obtaining things but on being in as much physical arousal as possible, preferably with others. A moment without sensory stimulation is experienced as boring, wasted.

This is the animalistic consciousness that leads us to addiction, to guilty pleasures, and to sexual violations. When the victim is in this consciousness, they won't be aware of the violation. Only at the next level of consciousness will there be recognition of the experience's impact.

The next consciousness is emotional consciousness…

My writing window has closed, and Naomi needs my attention.

As I rise through the levels, it becomes harder for me to describe them, and I cannot describe the consciousness I identify with from an experiential place because I am still "inside" it. There is a fascinating description in the book "Initiation," and I believe other descriptions can be found. They say the levels of consciousness correspond to the 7 chakras, but I have no interest in sharing intellectual understandings—that would be repeating others' words.

For some reason, this topic came to me now.
