A Dissolution of our Sense of Self

Expanding Wholeness Beyond Separateness

The transition from Stage 9 to Stage 10 involves crossing the interface of the two Awaken Energetic Intelligences. Stage 8 and 9 involve the Soul Energetic Intelligence, while Stages 10, 11 and 12 are associated with the Universal Spirit Energetic Intelligence. Experiencing the energy of soul requires a sense of wholeness and gratitude for the perfection of all being. While the experience is one of connection to rhythms and energy and interconnection between ourselves and others, there is still a separation of the individual soul. The wholeness of Stage 10 is a healing beyond our sense of separateness. The self, everyone and everything are one in the same.

In Stage 9, we are realizing that there is energy in us, in others and in everything. This energy and its connections, not our physical bodies, is what we really are. We can experience the energy and light within ourselves and sometimes in others. This energy is what makes us ourselves. Stage 10 comes with the knowing that we are the energy. We are therefore the energy in others and other things as well. We are everything.

As an analogy to explain this, imagine that you are a candle, or perhaps an LED light to be more modern. In Discover, you are afraid to light up because others may not like your light. In Transform, you get over all the reasons you were afraid to shine and decide how bright you will shine and what it will take to do that. In Awaken, you find that your light was always shining brightly, even when it was hidden.

In Stage 7, you drop all the stories about what it takes to shine. You purge all the energy that was used to hold up the pretence of being a certain kind of light. In Stage 8, with that distraction gone, you see that if you simply be, the light is always shining. There is a rhythm inside you that guides you to whatever reality you would like to shine in.

The Stage 9 experience would be the realization that you were not the physical candle or LED, but rather, what distinguished you was the light you emitted. The energy behind the light was actually what made you who you are. That energy also lit up others allowing them to emit their light. The energy connected you to others and through its flow allows you all to shine your individual lights. Experiencing your light is like experiencing your soul.

In the dark, all the individual lights would appear as separate, however in daylight; all the lights would be invisible. It’s just too bright. The one light makes all the individual lights one in the same. There is only the one light. In Stage 10, our experience is of a merging beyond our separateness. We are the one light and therefore we are everything.

Observing from this expanded sense of wholeness means you gain a perspective on life, the universe and everything, from a place where it has no separation from you. This experience is called enlightenment and is the most sought after spiritual states there is. We know we are all connected. We are not separate. Oneness is all there is.
