the coming global enlightenment
The time has come for us to expand our normal human experience to once again include the sacred and [the] profound in our everyday lives
Yet instead of binding that in religion. We find it in our rational
Factual and practical world and this makes all the difference
This requires a fundamental rethinking of our everyday lives both individually and collectively
The outcome of this changes everything
It helps us to understand why we're here
what's going on in Society and
creates real meaning in our lives
This moment in time is unprecedented in all of human history
We finally have enough information and capability to evolve Beyond our common reality
Too much more real and Meaningful one
We've been attempting to do this for several thousand years and especially in the past fifty years with some success
[but] if yet to really break through
What's been missing is the right map a map that is accurate enough impractical for the average person?
The map is a direct and thorough understanding of the spectrum of consciousness
that is developed in stages and
ends with enlightenment
That's a very important sentence and one that all elaborate on
We need to become enlightened
This is one of the few words that I've brought over from the older traditions and do so with Great care
The word has been used throughout our history from plato and socrates
Through the religions all the way to the European age of enlightenment
now we return to this word because of its potential as
Mentioned in the enlightenment 2 point 0 episode the word means into light
And we can use light as an analogy for this
Imagine living your entire life in a dark closet. That's all you know you've never seen anything because there's no light
Then one day a light is turned on for a brief second
And you suddenly have vision and can see everything that you've sent throughout your life
It's transformative
Suddenly everything becomes clear everything that you've touched and sensed is
Understandable because the whole new world has come into being for a brief period It changes your entire life
But the light was only on for a second and you have no way of turning it back on
Because you don't know how it was turned on in the first place in
Fact you didn't even know there was light before them, and you didn't know about your eyes
Although that experience radically changes your perspective and changes your life
eventually that realization goes away, and
becomes a memory and one that you begin to doubt as time goes on and
Eventually becomes a myth to you
Plato used a similar example in his cave allegory
Except that he added multiple people and a teacher bringing the light
If we could learn to turn that light on it would radically transform our world
We can continue along this line of thought by looking at how our conception of light has evolved
For all of human history until [recently] we only knew about a certain kind of light
White light the kind that shines from the sun or a fire
Then with Isaac, Newton we learned that light [is] actually made up of colors like a rainbow
With Michael Faraday we learn that light and colors are just one small section
along a much bigger spectrum called the electromagnetic spectrum
Then with Albert Einstein we learn that it that the electromagnetic spectrum
Is One Force among others like gravity?
we keep learning that what seemed like one thing is actually [a] compilation of many things on a spectrum that
Our understanding of light for example was not wrong. It was just too limited
And our ideas simply needed to evolve
It was just far more complex than we realized
Even though we got along relatively fine before then before each new incarnation of facts
When we learn about the rest of the truth we incorporated it into our existing paradigm
And we're much better for it. It added to our understanding of what was [Possible] I
Used light is an analogy
the analogy refers to consciousness
specifically to the spectrum of consciousness
our consciousness that which creates a reality right now is actually a spectrum rather than one thing and
It's the missing link. It's the key to the map with a compass and a legend and scales
It's the manual for our enlightenment
for the next version of humanity
our
Consciousness allows us to do everything that we do
It not only allows it, but it dictates our reality
Therefore the workings of our consciousness are extremely vital to us as individuals and to society
It would be a nightmare if the apparatus that allows for consciousness and creates our reality
Or a mystery
But that's exactly what's been occurring for thousands of years in fact all of human civilization
Take a look at Society and it yourself
This is what we get without such a manual. It's wonderful in many ways, but also horrible and many others
Regardless, it's extremely limited, and it's time to evolve
We weren't given the official operating manual for being human
We've come to the end of the stage in human history. I will either evolve or go extinct
Just like our discovery of the complexity of light we got along okay
But that was before nuclear bombs
before Mass extinction of plants and animal life on
land and in the Ocean before overpopulation mass deforestation
climate change
mass suffering
corruption of public and Private institutions and
above all the loss of real meaning in our lives
We must evolve but this time evolution must be chosen consciously individually and collectively
The spectrum of consciousness is the next frontier
Like the analogy of light in the closet. We must build a map based on the scattered fragments of the light
Our specific consciousness is like the focal point of the lens
This mainland's is broad at one end and narrow at the other in
Actuality, it's a series of spectrums and lenses
That we've not thoroughly mapped this so it's difficult to get too detailed
Just as light as one part of the broader spectrum, so is consciousness
We can detect the differences in many ways
such as consciousness at the first moment of life and as we age and
finally a death
Consciousness at different parts of the day from morning to noon to night
It also changes depending on the people around us the environment and as the census change
one can react in a number of ways along the spectrum on
the one end hearing the idea that
Existence is a miracle
can sound Mundane or at best an interesting notion and
On the other end one can become completely enlightened by realizing the depth of statement
I'm not going to go into detail about the spectrum of consciousness here
but I will talk about the stages an individual goes through and
The Society will go through which will usher in the global enlightenment
The stages of consciousness can be thought of like the light in the closet analogy
beginning with the initial glimpse and
Ending with a functional map
It's just like learning anything from writing a bike to learning engineering except [for] two crucial differences
that you are working with the apparatus that creates your reality and
The other is almost no one knows about this
So we're working on the edge of our very existence
The first stage of enlightenment is a Sudden jolt out of your current reality
Sudden realization and glimpse into another world
Imagine an ant is going about its normal life and then all of a sudden has enlightened experience
It realizes what it is and what it's doing
Its entire life seemed to be one way, but now is another
At first it would seem profound
that it fully grasps its existence and its context and
realizes the profoundness of this realization
But it's not going to have an easy life just because of this realization
Imagine it trying to explain this to the others
Most people have had an experience like this
But they misinterpreted or they don't recognize the significance
Because they were too young or because society generally doesn't appreciate that
So the first stage is this sudden realization which most people never fully reconcile
The second stage is consistently saying the contrast between everyday reality and the broader reality
You know that you've had a transformative experience, but the difficulty is in
recreating it
you look to society for help, but find little solace here and
you can't talk about [it] very well and
Everybody who does talk about it has their own language for it
You're unable to maneuver about very well on the map
You're like a child learning to walk
The third Stage is mainly defined by growing confidence
You're able to recreate the enlightened experience
You're able to explore it. You've developed a rough map
Well, you've not mastered the spectrum of consciousness
You can recognize where you are most of the time and eventually make it to any other place on the map like
maneuvering a sailboat
You're confident that you're on the right path, but you're still forgetful
You get lost in the infinite stories
sometimes they're fun other times less, so
But you're glimpsing into the nature [of] reality
That's a truly profound stage
Where above all the most significant thing is how real it is in fact?
Life is real for the first time
Where your old reality that being almost everybody's normal reality is like sleepwalking
Like only living on the surface level of the deep ocean
You can identify others who have had the experience and you can develop a common yet rudimentary language in which to converse
Life at this stage is [the] most pleasant so far
Because you realize that you play a significant role in creating your reality and are thus proactive
Your life is based on experience and knowledge
in a complex understanding of yourself and society
You're not as prone to surface level troubles and are not so distracted [by] unimportant activities
Every moment and interaction to some significant degree is important and valuable and even profound
The last stage is enlightenment
where you never forget about the nature of reality and are always aware of the spectrum of consciousness and
Have a very functional map
You can get lost in a story, but you always know your way home
You no longer need a teacher and now view them as friends and colleagues
Your life is transformed into that which dreams are made of
You could become a solitary monk or a tony robbins
The only thing that matters is maintaining your grasp on reality
the enlightened state
Life is only about carving a new path for yourself for society for humanity
The coming global enlightenment will occur individual by individual and will grow by orders of magnitude
we will have to develop a new language a new literature and Mythology a
new discourse and guide on how to live in the world, we
Will develop a community based on compassion and understanding and love?
The Global enlightenment is coming
We are at a pivotal point in all of human history
perhaps the most pivotal of all
Because of the vast capability is available to the average person
It's time for us to transcend our past humanity our ordinary normal society
