In level one we start being aware of inner conflicts, discover new ways to embrace our mission, and start becoming aware of our own self-inflicted interferences. You might say, we are working within the frame of our self understanding and working with psychologists and life coaches might be useful.
The second level, which is certainly intertwined with the first level, we start recognizing the love of our environment that we may have overlooked before and express it as well. You might say we are open ourselves up to the web of Oneness and love is the glue that holds the web together. It’s a first step towards transcending our “me, myself and I” world.
The third level is drastic departure of our grasp of personhood. We are one with creation! The story of self dissolves at that level. Observer, manifestor, experiencer dissolves in the web of Oneness. It may not be a permanent departure from the notion of self, but we start becoming aware in which mode we operate: self experience and expression versus Oneness.
The higher levels of spiritual beings are the ability to see through the creation itself. We become aware of life’s maya and in the last stage only energy remains. Again, even at this level, we might return to the level of becoming an entity. We tend to reserve the enlightenment status to those few who penetrate this dimension where the personhood dissolves.
The concept of enlightenment is a problematic one. Since the level of personhood is an illusion to start with, there is literally no one around who can claim the title. Instead, we might say that the state when we not consciously perceive the illusion of personhood as maya, but then, reaching state three of spiritual living is not that hard to achieve. It’s natural in fact!
