Consciousness Evolution

First, we learn to control, develop, and manage our physical abilities, which begins immediately after birth. Then, we develop our cognitive skills, logical reasoning, and the ability to analyze situations and people from different perspectives. Once we reach a sufficient level of awareness, we can engage in self-analysis, which is crucial for further consciousness development.

Understanding ourselves fully is an essential ability that allows us to recognize that we can change any part of ourselves that hinders our progress. At this stage, we first become aware of the existence of the ego as an integral part of every human being. Ego is the greatest obstacle to any kind of growth because it constantly pulls us backward and forces us to feed our vanity at the expense of personal development. Many people stop their evolution at this stage because they are unable to recognize their ego or understand that they can control it. Often, individuals identify with their ego, preventing further expansion of consciousness.

After overcoming this phase, we begin to notice our thoughts and realize that our beliefs and attitudes shape them. We discover that changing a belief can lead to different thoughts, and in turn, we understand that thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs can be controlled and altered.

At this point, we recognize the connection between thoughts and emotions. We understand that specific thoughts generate specific emotions, meaning we can change how we feel by altering our thoughts. As evolution continues, we realize that our thoughts can also change our circumstances. This is the stage where we begin to create relationships that suit us and accept unfavorable circumstances as indicators that we need to change something within ourselves to improve our external conditions. Here, we reach a level of awareness that allows us to understand that by changing ourselves, we can create situations and circumstances that align with our desires.

In the next phase, we become aware that we are connected to higher forces and that we are more than just a physical body. We recognize ourselves as energetic beings capable of manifesting tangible outcomes through thoughts and intentions. At this point, we become creators of our reality. However, this stage also carries the risk of falling under the influence of the ego, as the realization that we can shape reality through our thoughts may lead to a sense of superiority and even the illusion of being godlike. If we succumb to this ego trap, we may temporarily continue manifesting, attributing it to supernatural abilities, but life circumstances—often in the form of illness—will eventually serve as reminders that we must continue evolving to discover deeper aspects of our being.

If we progress beyond this point, we recognize another integral part of ourselves—the soul. Awareness of the soul allows us to understand that we are composed of pure love and that we must release all negative and destructive influences that prevent us from fully experiencing love. This is the first time we truly grasp what love is, how it manifests, and how it feels. At this level, we deepen our capacity to love, expanding the boundaries of our relationships and interactions with the world. We also encounter true fulfillment, a sense of deep satisfaction and inner peace that far surpasses pleasure derived from passion or intellect.

Pleasures at this stage are long-lasting and do not create further cravings. Once an emotion emerges at this level, it either remains unchanged or grows stronger, unlike infatuation or desire, which quickly fade. When we experience true love, we are overcome by a feeling of complete fulfillment, joy, and serenity—an unchanging state that does not depend on external factors, as this love becomes an integral part of us. Simply experiencing it is enough to sustain us for the rest of our lives.

Yet even at this level, evolution does not stop—it can go further and deeper.

When we realize that we are beings with a soul, we understand that this is the very part of us that gives us life. It is the aspect that guides us and holds the answers to all our questions. At this level, we recognize that we are not the ones controlling any part of ourselves, nor are we the true creators of anything—everything we are comes from the soul. This realization leads us to explore the connection between our entire being and the soul.

We discover that when we act in alignment with our soul, we experience a unique sense of satisfaction and peace that permeates our entire existence—our body, mind, thoughts, and emotions all radiate harmony. We learn how to communicate with our soul and follow its guidance. We come to understand that our soul signals us through various emotions and sensations, helping us discern whether we are on the right path. We also notice that when we act in ways that are not in alignment with our soul, certain parts of our body become ill. This reveals a direct connection between illness and the self-destructive choices we make.

Following this realization, we understand that our soul is connected to something even greater—our Source or God. We begin to explore this relationship and the various ways we can connect with the divine force that unites all beings. At this level, we develop awareness of our interconnectedness with all living beings, both in the physical and spiritual realms. We start recognizing how past events in our lives were necessary lessons preparing us for our ultimate purpose. We realize that our entire life has been a form of training, leading us toward fulfilling our most important mission—the very reason we were born and came into this world.

Here, we encounter the concept of personal purpose (Dharma) and begin to understand what is required to embark on the path of fulfilling it.

Even this is not the final stage of evolution—there is always more to explore.

Beyond this, we further develop our awareness in the direction of deepening our relationship with God and complete surrender to divine will. At this stage, we allow God to take full control over our existence, trusting entirely in divine guidance. Here, we experience and witness the omnipotence of God and the profound joy of serving the divine. This level of existence cannot be described or compared to any human experience—it transcends human emotion and offers fulfillment beyond anything we have ever known.

And even here, evolution does not end—consciousness is limitless. But for now, this is where our discussion of consciousness will pause.
