The Test of Consciousness 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 she clings to or identifies with. This test takes place 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 that we're still attached to or identified with, we undergo a rebirth. Our lives reorganize at all levels, and our experience of life changes. The rules of the game change.
The first effect that is felt is relief—suddenly there is much more freedom, and this freedom comes naturally, without the effort that was once required. We gradually recognize more and more the influence of our inner reality on physical reality, and new possibilities that were not accessible to us in the past come to consciousness as inspiration.
Levels of Consciousness
I'm writing this from my perspective. At a lower level of consciousness, this text would sound unclear and irrelevant, and someone at a higher level of consciousness would 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, blurred. Cause and effect are unclear, existing at an intuitive level but not accessible to thought. From this arises constant suspicion of everything and a persistent attempt to attain whatever is currently visible, whatever consciousness is currently focused on. The way it will be attained is "by any means necessary"—force, emotional and intellectual manipulations, and if nothing seems to work, then also physical violence to the death.
This is the consciousness we return to when we are in 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 relates to senses and various pleasures, to physical intimacy of various kinds, to temptation and instincts. In this consciousness, there is a subconscious understanding that survival is achieved through simple actions, and the focus is not on acquiring things but on being in as much physical bodily 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 abuse. When victims are in this consciousness, they will not be aware of the injury. Only at the next level of consciousness will there be recognition of the impact of the experience.
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 harder 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 consciousness levels 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.
