The Consciousness Test Within the Pyramid
Elizabeth Haich undergoes a consciousness test inside the pyramid, where she is exposed to increasingly higher levels of consciousness, and she remains at the level of consciousness with which she identifies. This test happens for all of us at every moment.
When we stop clinging to or identifying with a certain layer of our relative existence, with the lowest layer we are still attached to/identified with, we experience a rebirth, our lives reorganize at all levels, and our experience of life changes. The rules of the game change.
The first effect that's 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 of the influence our inner reality has 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 perspective. At a lower level of consciousness, this text might sound unclear and irrelevant, and someone at a higher level of consciousness could describe what I've described with greater clarity and detail—and more.
The lowest consciousness is survival consciousness. Life appears dark, foggy, blurry. Cause and effect aren't clear, they exist on an intuitive level but aren't accessible to thought. From this comes constant suspicion about everything, and a continuous effort to obtain whatever is currently visible, whatever consciousness is focused on at the moment. The way it's obtained will be "by any means necessary"—forceful behavior, emotional and mental manipulations, and if nothing seems to work, even physical violence as a matter of life and death.
This is the consciousness we return to when we're in a panic.
The next consciousness, second in height, is desire consciousness. In this consciousness, the subject is satisfying sexual desires. It's not just about sex; it's related to the senses and various pleasures, to different types of physical intimacy, to temptation 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 victims are 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 window of time to write has closed, and Naomi needs my attention.
As I rise through the levels, it becomes more difficult for me to describe them, and I cannot describe the consciousness I identify with from an experiential place because I'm still "inside" it. There's a fascinating description in the book "Initiation," and I believe more descriptions can be found. They say that the levels of consciousness correspond to the 7 chakras, but I have no interest in sharing intellectual understandings—that would just be repeating others' words.
For some reason, this topic came to me now.
