Soul & Consciousness: The Evolution of Awareness

“SOUL & CONSCIOUSNESS”

INFANT SOUL

Survival Consciousness

The primary awareness is centered on survival.

BABY SOUL

EGO CONSCIOUSNESS

The awareness becomes increasingly centered on the ego.

YOUNG SOUL

CAMOUFLAGED EGO CONSCIOUSNESS

The ego becomes more sophisticated and can express itself in different forms.

MATURE SOUL

EGO — LESS AND LESS CONSCIOUSNESS

As the Soul matures, identification with the ego gradually decreases.

SILENCE CONSCIOUSNESS

Silence becomes an important dimension of inner awareness.

OLD SOUL

SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS

The Soul begins to experience a deeper awareness of its own nature.

TRANSCENDENTAL SOUL

The consciousness expands toward:

• OTHER-WORLDLY CONSCIOUSNESS

• ETERNITY CONSCIOUSNESS

• INFINITY CONSCIOUSNESS

• THOROUGHLY CONSCIOUSNESS

• 
  

INFINITE SOUL

The consciousness expands into:

• ONENESS CONSCIOUSNESS

• SERVICE CONSCIOUSNESS

• PHYSICAL CONSCIOUSNESS

• WORKER CONSCIOUSNESS

• 
  

The journey of the Soul is therefore also a journey of expanding consciousness—from survival and ego awareness toward deeper Soul Consciousness and an experience of oneness and service.
