Some common changes in perspective on part of the journey of expanding consciousness:
1- The desire to move towards peace and truth and away from lies, strife and conflict
2- Efforts to move towards "positive" aspects of life: love, gratitude, bliss, ecstasy, spirituality, concepts of God, etc.
3- awakening of inner energy (sometimes called kundalini) - birth of spiritual identity
4- Recognition of nothingness - the realization that i am not the collection of thoughts or the thinking mind.
5- Awareness that no phenomena, no thought, no experience is what you are- there is no I/ me of personal identity, "not this not that"
6- Oscillating between knowing you are none of it, but still believing/ behaving at times in I/ me aspects of identity unconsciously and consciously
7- experiences of oneness, all as love, rising inner peace.
8- recognizing that you are all of it, the cosmic joke revealed - end of seeking
9- Oscillations between oneness awareness and individual identity, spiritual identity/ interest subsides, the end of reaching for the "positive" aspects of life. Deep peace.
10- Moving into conscious interconnectedness with all that Is - all experiences embraced, all is revealed.
