Consciousness: The Gateway to Higher Living

Understanding Consciousness: The Gateway to Higher Living

By Mukadam Olaitan Ajetunmobi

Consciousness is the fundamental essence of existence—the unseen force that shapes perception, emotions, decisions, and reality itself. It is not just awareness but a measurable spectrum of human experience, ranging from the depths of fear and suffering to the heights of enlightenment and unconditional love.

Dr. David Hawkins, a renowned researcher in human consciousness, mapped out this hierarchy of consciousness in his groundbreaking work, demonstrating that different emotional and mental states vibrate at different frequencies, directly influencing the quality of one’s life.

What is Consciousness?

Consciousness is the lens through which we experience reality. It is the energy field of awareness that determines how we think, feel, and respond to life’s challenges. Everything—our beliefs, emotions, and actions—stems from our level of consciousness.

When we operate at lower levels of consciousness, life feels heavy, full of struggle, and reactionary. At higher levels of consciousness, we experience freedom, joy, and a deep connection to the universe.

In essence:
🔹 Low consciousness = resistance, fear, and suffering.
🔹 High consciousness = ease, clarity, and empowerment.

The Map of Consciousness: The Levels of Human Awareness

David Hawkins identified a scale of consciousness ranging from shame (the lowest state) to enlightenment (the highest state). Each level carries a specific energy frequency that influences how we experience life.

Here are some key levels of consciousness and their impact on reality:

1. Lower States of Consciousness (Suffering and Limitation)

🟥 Shame (20) – The lowest vibration, where one feels worthless and powerless. Life feels dark and oppressive.
🟥 Guilt (30) – A state of self-condemnation, leading to self-sabotage and a constant feeling of not being good enough.
🟥 Apathy (50) – The emotion of hopelessness, where one lacks motivation to change.
🟥 Grief (75) – Deep sadness, often linked to loss and regret.
🟥 Fear (100) – A state of anxiety, worry, and uncertainty about the future.
🟥 Desire (125) – Attachment to material things, craving for validation, and the illusion that happiness comes from external sources.
🟥 Anger (150) – A higher energy than apathy but still rooted in negativity, leading to blame and resentment.
🟥 Pride (175) – A false sense of strength and superiority, but still driven by ego and external validation.

At these lower levels, life feels hard, reactive, and full of struggle. People in these states feel trapped, blaming external circumstances rather than realizing their own consciousness is the cause of their reality.

2. Middle States of Consciousness (The Shift to Power)

🟨 Courage (200) – The turning point! This is where personal power begins. One takes responsibility for life and moves from victimhood to self-empowerment.
🟨 Neutrality (250) – A state of emotional balance. No longer controlled by fear or ego, one flows with life.
🟨 Willingness (310) – A mindset of growth and openness to new experiences.
🟨 Acceptance (350) – Recognizing that life is happening for you, not to you. A deep sense of personal responsibility arises.
🟨 Reason (400) – The realm of intellect, knowledge, and wisdom. People here use logic and understanding to shape their world.

At these levels, life becomes more fluid, solutions-oriented, and abundant. People start experiencing success and harmony because they are now in control of their inner world, rather than being controlled by external events.

3. Higher States of Consciousness (True Freedom and Enlightenment)

🟩 Love (500) – Not just romantic love, but a state of deep compassion and connection with all of existence. People here radiate kindness and attract peace.
🟩 Joy (540) – Life feels effortless. Everything flows with synchronicity and abundance.
🟩 Peace (600) – A state of deep, unshakable serenity, free from the chaos of the world.
🟩 Enlightenment (700–1000) – The highest state, achieved by spiritual masters. The self dissolves into pure awareness, and life is seen as an extension of divine energy.

At these levels, life transforms into a miraculous experience. There is no struggle—only creation, love, and profound wisdom.

How to Elevate Your Consciousness

1. Shift Your Emotional Energy

Your emotions are indicators of your level of consciousness. If you find yourself in fear, anger, or doubt, recognize that these states are low-frequency energies—and you have the power to shift them.

✅ Instead of guilt → Practice self-forgiveness.
✅ Instead of fear → Trust the unfolding of life.
✅ Instead of pride → Embrace humility and openness.

2. Master Your Inner Dialogue

What you habitually tell yourself determines your level of consciousness. Stop speaking words of lack, fear, and limitation. Instead, affirm:

🗣 “I am capable. I am powerful. My reality is a reflection of my consciousness.”

Words carry energy—choose them wisely.

3. Live from the End

If you desire a higher state of consciousness, assume the feeling of already being there.

🔹 Want to live in abundance? Feel abundant now.
🔹 Want to experience love? Cultivate love within yourself first.
🔹 Want to feel at peace? Let go of resistance and trust life.

Reality mirrors your consciousness. Change how you feel inside, and your world must follow.

Final Thought: You Are Not a Victim—You Are the Creator

Everything in your life is a reflection of your state of consciousness. You are not at the mercy of fate, circumstances, or luck.

The moment you choose to elevate your consciousness, your life begins to transform.

💡 Ask yourself today:
👉 What level of consciousness am I operating from?
👉 How can I shift into a higher state of awareness?
👉 What emotions, beliefs, and thoughts do I need to release?

Your awakening begins when you decide to rise beyond fear, doubt, and limitation. Consciousness is the key to everything.

🔺 Shift your consciousness, and you will shift your world. 🔺
