THE SEVEN STAGES OF SELF-AWAKENING


1.      STAGE 1:- living an unconscious life. (Being asleep at the wheel). “Living a lie” because people are caught up in a lie about the way the world works and how they exist within it. These people have no connection with the truth.

·         When you shift from a compulsion to survive into a heartfelt commitment to serve your life cannot help but explode into success.

·         It takes great courage to leave the crowd and be true to your nature. That’s what leadership is all about, leaving the crowd and being true to who you really are. You don’t find diamonds in store rooms, sandal trees in rows, loins in flocks, and holy men in heard.

·         Awareness precedes choice and choice precedes change.

·         Scarcity Mentality: - you think you are most generous person in the world but that’s nothing more than denial. You don’t want to look at what’s really going on for you, beneath the surface. The truth of the matter is that you are very selfish and you try to keep everything you can for yourself. Everyone around you see selfish behavior. They can tell you that you do not see world as an abundant place, so you hoard.

·         Self-examination is the first step of personal greatness.

2.      STAGE 2:- “The Checkpoint” once you grow aware that you are following the crowd and living an unauthentic life, you are presented with a choice.

·         The soul would rather fail as its own life than succeed at someone else’s.

3.      STAGE 3:- “Awareness of wonder and Possibility “you begin to see with a new set of eyes. You see more of a truth than you have ever seen before. You begin to understand that world wants you to win and it is a place of great abundance, opportunity and majesty. You also begin to see that people, at their core and good and it is only because of the hurts that life has visited on them that they do bad things.

4.      STAGE 4:- “Instructions from masters” The seeker begins to search for teachers and explorers many paths to learning.

5.      STAGE 5:-“Transformation and Rebirth “– Most challenging stage but most unforgettable. Your biggest self starts to present itself on a daily and your entire world begin to change.

6.      STAGE 6:-“The Trail” The purpose of the trail is two folds:-
a)      To ensure that she has learned all the lessons she was meant to learn along the way.

b)      To see how badly she wants the prize.

7.      STAGE 7:- “The Great Awakening”- you reach the stage/state to enlightenment. You become all those things that reflect your original nature. You become fearless innocent, infinitely wise, of boundless potential and pure love. No shadows, all light.

·         You can get anything you want if you want it deepest. You must want it with exuberance that erupts through the skin and joins the energy that created the world.

·         You are live and learn to laugh. You are learn to listen to the cursed radio music of life and to reverence the spirit behind it and to laugh at its distortions.

·         There is nothing wrong with a man’s crying. A person closed off from his feelings lacks sensitivity compassion and empathy. Such people are of the kind who starts wars, commits crimes and spread hate. Do not avoid your feelings.

·         A laugh is the shortest distance between human hearts. When we laugh together all the social constructs that keeps us apart fall to the wayside and we connect as real picture.

·         Live the life that you are meant to live. Your life is far too important to wait until you are just about to die to wake up. I lived my mother’s/ fathers life when I should have had the wisdom of my own.

·         Life is such a fragile thing. It is priceless treasure that we are given to guard and make use of to the best of our ability. That it will not come again is what makes it so sacred.

·         Reflection is the mother of wisdom.

·         Leave the crowd and begin to live by your values your belief and your hearts desires, you will inevitably reach the checkpoint. How you respond at this juncture will make all the difference in terms of how the rest of your life will unfold.

·         The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.

·         Massage therapy is a wonderful way to promote vitality, eliminate toxins and elevate overall health.

·         Daily exercise, an elite performance diet, meditation, time spent in nature and a massage every seven day. Massage seems expensive to people but to me it’s an investment, not an expense. Its money well spent. I am of no value to anyone if I am lying in the hospital.

·         Learning should be fun, memorable and moving. Learning from books intellectually is a great but learning in a way that engages you at an emotional level is even more powerful and sustaining. Experience is always the best teacher.

·         The checkpoint is all about making some kind of sacrifice. Nothing good comes out without some kind of sacrifice. Checkpoint is all about leaving the world you have known and venturing out onto the unknown frontiers of your highest life. You can change your life in an instant by making a single decision never to go back to the way you have been living.
