He didn't write about fundamental belief or no fear there. If the one he was talking about in his podcast was the same, then I would have to say I'm very confused as to where I am on the levels of consciousness list.
A bit off topic but I don't understand what Steve is saying here, could someone explain to me what this means?

I agree with a lot of what Steve wrote. I don't like the label "love" either because like the label "God" once you use it sometimes people go on auto-pilot & start thinking of what they were taught by other people about the label. I mean if you look at half the love songs out there hehe you very quickly see it isn't about true unconditional love but something else. & sometimes its only about lust. hehe.
Well Hawkins likes to use statistics but honestly I think the #s for people in 500 & up are going to raise.
Maybe I'm an optimist but I truly believe this. & I agree with a lot of what Steve wrote.. I forgot it & it was interesting to read his take because I had read it such a long time ago. Hmm.
I don't think it matters as much where you're at on the scale but to know what your higher destination/goal is. Mine immediately is unconditional love because I realize I need to learn that to grow more. I don't honestly understand Joy & above because I've never really felt that except one lone experience that didn't stay there. So.. & above that I have no clue but to have faith in what has been written before by other mystics & spiritual teachers before. I haven't listened to Steve's recent podcast but I am curious how his recent take is different. Maybe Steve was talking about something else?
