Intent: To establish a foundation of awareness at the mental level (mental plane) through research and investigation that is used to empower and expand awareness of the MIND.
Minimum Time Commitment: 9 months
Be Advised: Level 1 may induce an element of fear and insecurity because you will begin to ‘see’ the contents of your mind. As you bring more awareness to the contents of your mind, you may experience dormant, unconscious belief systems and thought patterns. In order for you to get to the Truth of Who You Are, you will reveal these unconscious beliefs and let go of less stable, although familiar, concepts, ideas, and stories. You will strip away and observe every story you tell yourself about who you think you are.
Skill Learned: COGNITIVE MASTERY – The skill of mental awareness, discernment, and detachment.
Basic Premise: EVERYTHING IS A STORY – Humans experience life based on the story we tell ourselves about it.
Benefit: Bringing more awareness to your thoughts is the first step in separating Who You Are from who you think you are. Without this awareness, you live in a prison of who you are not (a collection of accumulated experience, knowledge, education, culture, and conditioning) and you will continue to believe your prison (identity) is free.
The ability of discernment is to differentiate a thought from a fact and choose the thought that aligns with the Higher Self. While the Higher Self is NOT the Truth of Who You Are, this will give you a direct experience with The Universal Truth and support the process of consciousness expansion and mental awareness. Once you know everything you experience is a story, you are empowered to choose the story you want to experience. This is synonymous with determining the life you experience (a life of dreams or a life of nightmares, i.e. heaven or hell).
Detachment is the final component of cognitive mastery and usually comes later (in Levels 4-6). Detachment from your thinking mind is a letting go of the mind as the master of your experience and allowing the fullness of What Is to enter your consciousness. Detachment doesn’t mean you stop thinking – the intellect is an important part of being human. Detachment allows you to be the master of your mind instead of being its slave in the form of identity (i.e. ego, lower self/higher self).
“The Mind: a beautiful servant, a dangerous master.” – Rajneesh
“The intuitive mind is a scared gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” – Albert Einstein
“The intellect is a beautiful servant but a terrible master. Intellect is the power tool of our separateness. The intuitive, compassionate heart is the doorway to our unity.” – Ram Dass
“For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for him who has failed to do so, his mind will remain the greatest enemy.” – Bhagavad Gita
