Hi, this is TUC. I haven't seen a thread - like this one - up just yet, if a similar thread has been made then accept my humble apology.
I didn't start this thread to explain to you in detail all the different levels of consciousnesses (if you don't know what I am talking about and want to educate yourself in this topic, please read Steve's post:
http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/200...consciousness/ ). No, this thread was made so that we could discuss and share our own experiences about the levels of consciousnesses. Whilst you could just vote in the poll and then dash off to watch that episode of CSI - please stick around to tell us about your level of consciousness. Are you in more than one level of consciousness? If you're at a higher level of consciousness - how long did it take for you to get there? How does your level of consciousness affect you, others, what good/bad have you gathered from it?
I would also LOVE IT if this thread would be made a place where we could not only share about our own experiences, but also HELP others about theirs!
I believe that we should all try our best to strive for a higher level of consciousness, and it would please me if we could ALL try and help EACH OTHER to take those steps, do those things, master those emotions - to achieve a higher level of consciousness. Given, this community will most probably average at a higher level of consciousness than most other communities, but even if most of us may not be in the lower levels of consciousness - let us not forget that; any level lower than the level of Enlightenment is a level too low.
Now, if not a zillion ideas have already popped up in your head which you want to write about - given the immense topic - I can share my own experience:
I'm a 17-year-old boy, named Adam. I live in Sweden. I'm currently at the level of Willingness, some of my behaviours could be found rooted in both Acceptance and Neutrality but I am slowly leaving Neutrality behind me. Given what education I have chosen (the hardest you can find) I have little to no time left for what I really wish to do. Week after week sadly passes with only schoolwork done, something which can be said is holding me back towards reaching Acceptance, considering I don't get much time to do what it takes to reach that goal. Whenever I am waiting for the bus (or whatever) I try to make the best out of my time however. A goal which dawned upon me was: "What if I can reach the level of Acceptance before my birthday?" School had just started, with very little homework and tests and I had changed a lot of my thinking during the summer. Sadly I found out that I had a long way to go before I could reach Acceptance, writing my goals and do's and do-not's just wouldn't cut it that easily. My birthday was a month ago, and the goal wasn't reached. [I have a lot more to write about this topic and I will probably edit the OP later to do so, but now I am writing this thread in a rush (yes you guessed it, school assignment to write)]
---- Besides your own experiences which I am thrilled to hear about, any feedback on mine is greatly appreciated. Am I on a low level for my age? Any tips for reaching a higher level with my studies taken into consideration? Just so you won't get the wrong idea by me asking so many questions about my experience:
This thread is not for me alone, discuss and share your own experiences, and if possible try and help each other to reach that next level!
