This is how I see raising my state of being, or as Dr David Hawkins calls it, raising my calibration on the map of consciousness.
It's like riding an elevator. As I go up and exit the elevator on a new floor, people and things may be different than those on the floor beneath. There’s a whole new scene going on up here, with a new horizon, opportunities and realities. I, in fact, am changed on this new floor. I experience and see things differently.
Perhaps something that had bothered me for a long time is no longer a hindrance. Perhaps I’ve forgiven and let go and am now free. Perhaps I’ve healed. Perhaps I am now excited and delighted to create something new. Perhaps my emotions and thoughts are transformed.
Dr Hawkins’ map of consciousness goes from 0 to 1000, with each level or “floor” as I like to think of it, marked by a number corresponding to a specific state of being. For instance, shame is at the bottom and comes in at 20. No wonder it feels so crappy to experience shame. Love shines up at 500, and peace at 600.
We may be calibrating at one level in one part of our lives and at a totally other level in another part, giving us a kind of average score overall.
Dr Hawkins states that 200 is the level at which there is a big positive shift in our consciousness, where we go from force to power, both individually and collectively.
He writes that “although only 15 percent of the world’s population is above the crucial consciousness level of 200, the collective power of that 15 percent has the weight to counterbalance the negativity of the remaining 85 percent of the world’s population.”
I find the concept that some individuals can compensate for others very encouraging. It highlights the importance of our benign effect on the whole.
“In this interconnected universe, every improvement we make in our private world improves the world at large for everyone,” he writes.
This applies to our inner being and our self-talk which doesn’t have to be perfect to help us rise. “Even a few loving thoughts during the course of the day more than counterbalance all of our negative thoughts by their sheer power,” he writes.
I find it quite exciting to board the elevator and go towards the unknown. Each glimpse that I’ve had of the floors above mine has felt like bliss, happiness, peace and serenity, and I choose more of that.
That’s the intention of Tea of Light vibrational energy teas. They are a way to rise to a new state of being, a little boost up Dr Hawkins’ map of consciousness.
