Consciousness Calibration - Spiritual & Personal Growth inside
== Moved to http://www.oneness-teachings.com ==
Hello Avalonians,
For the members that are interested in working toward their spiritual and personal growth, or for those that want a confirmation on how much they are advanced into their spiritual path, I propose to calibrate their consciousness. (aka LoC, Level of consciousness)
You have also the possibility to ask me by PM, in case you don't feel like to share with everyone your number.
The method was discovered by David R. Hawkins some years ago. I have found it to be pretty much accurate, and very helpful.
Now this is just another tool for personal growth, we are not here to judge you, as this number can be seen as one's soul age.
We all grow at our own pace, and all roads leads to Rome.
Here is the map of consciousness described by david hawkins:

Here are some LoC references, all calibrated from hawkins at the time of their death.
Disclaimer: Some individual suffered of mental illness or difficulties at the end of their life, hence having a toll on their LoC.

Disclaimer:
- All tests are subject to certain error margin, sometimes my mind can influence the test. I certainly do not pretend to be 100% accurate. Usually, the higher someone calibrate, the more in tune the person is with the creator and the more accurate are the results.
- We all have up and down. The test reflect your current state of mind and LoC, do not ask if you are having a Down. Fluctuations happens sometimes anywhere from 50 to 500 points.
- I will NOT calibrate others people beside the one asking. For obvious reasons. As this number is pretty much personal, you don't need to compare it either. Do you want to compare your age?
- I run a permission test beforehand, to ask if calibrating your consciousness is the right thing to do. If my Higher self tells me that it is not in your best interest to calibrate you, I will not proceed.
- Do not ask about your LoC everyday. Don't be obsessed by the number, work on yourself.
- This number can feed your ego, use your ego for a good thing: To commit to your spiritual and personal growth.
- This number can change pretty quickly if you work on yourself and understand the lessons that are given to you everyday. Some people can awake and skyjump in consciousness with some AHA moments.
Possible advices for raising one's LoC (level of consciousness):
Teaching from Buddha [LoC 1000]
- On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.
- If you knew what I know about the power of giving, you would not let a single meal pass without sharing it in some way.
- Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
- Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
- Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.
- Do not speak harshly to any one; those who are spoken to will answer thee in the same way. Angry speech is painful: blows for blows will touch thee.
- You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.
- You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.
- I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
- It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
- Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
- The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.-
- The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
- The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.
- A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering
- No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
- Pay no attention to the faults of others, things done or left undone by others. Consider only what by oneself is done or left undone.
- Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
- Never in this world can hatred be stilled by hatred; it will be stilled by non-hatred - this is the law Eternal.
- Once a man came unto me and denounced me on account of my observing the Way and practicing great loving-kindness. But I kept silent and did not answer him. The denunciation ceased. Then I asked him. 'If you bring a present to your neighbour and he accepts it not; does the present come back to you?' He replied, 'It will.' I said, 'You denounce me now, but as I accept it not, you must take the wrong deed back on your own person. It is like echo succeeding sound, it is like shadow following object; you never escape the effect of your own evil deeds. Be therefore mindful, and cease from doing evil.
- He who never thinks of anything as "mine" does not feel the lack of anything - he is never worried by a sense of loss.
- All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else.
- However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?
- Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.
- Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.
- It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
- The greatest prayer is patience.
- There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.
- Wherever there is light, there is shadow; wherever there is length, there is shortness; wherever there is white, there is black. Just like these, as the self-nature of things can not exist alone, they are called non-substantial.
- When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky.
- No one person can ever change the truth, but the truth, once learned, can and will change the person.
- What we think, we become.
Teachings from Plotinus [peak LoC 985]
- God is not external to anyone, but is present with all things, though they are ignorant that he is so.
- Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being. We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order; knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we are ugly.
- Withdraw into yourself and look. And if you do not find yourself beautiful yet, act as does the creator of a statue that is to be made beautiful: he cuts away here, he smoothes there, he makes this line lighter, this other purer, until a lovely face has grown his work. So do you also: cut away all that is excessive, straighten all that is crooked, bring light to all that is overcast, labor to make all one glow or beauty and never cease chiseling your statue, until there shall shine out on you from it the godlike splendor of virtue, until you see the perfect goodness surely established in the stainless shrine.
- The sensitive eye can never be able to survey, the orb of the sun, unless strongly endued with solar fire, and participating largely of the vivid ray. Everyone therefore must become divine, and of godlike beauty, before he can gaze upon a god and the beautiful itself.
- All things are filled full of signs, and it is a wise man who can learn about one thing from another.
- If we speak and write, it is but as guides to those who long to see: we send them to the place itself, bidding them from words to the Vision: the teaching is of the Path and the Plan, seeing is the work of each Soul for itself
Teachings from David R. Hawkins [LoC 981]
- To understand the nature of God, it is necessary only to know the nature of love itself. To truly know love is to know and understand God; and to know God is to understand love.
- Survival is me, ego, the animal is driven by hungryness, never enough, the core of the ego is wantingness. It wants more of everything, is greedy, desiring, insatiable, you cannot satisfy it. The average person is driven by this instinct, this primitivism. This is the basic nature of the ego, survival. Once you know that, you can have compassion for it [the ego] and treat it like a pet.
- The true destiny of man is to realize the truth of the divinity of one’s source and creator which is ever present within that which has been created and is the creator ? the Self.
- We change the world not by what we say or do but as a consequence of what we have become. Thus, every spiritual aspirant serves the world.
- Spiritual progress is based on acceptance as a matter of free will and choice and thus everyone experiences only the world of their own choosing. The universe is totally free of victims and all eventualities are the unfolding of inner choice and decision.
- Spiritual truth, then, is universally true and without variation through time or place. It always brings peace, harmony, accord, love, compassion, and mercy. Truth can be identified by these qualities. All else is the invention of the ego.
- Out of an unrestricted love for God arises the willingness to surrender all motives except to serve God completely. To be a servant of God becomes one's goal rather than enlightenment. To be a perfect channel for God's love is to surrender completely and to eliminate the goal seeking of the spiritual ego. Joy itself becomes the initiator of further spiritual work. From joy and humility, the rest of the process is certain.
- Presume that the world's actual 'purpose' is perfect and fully known only to God. See it as neutral overall but with the benefit that it provides optimal opportunity for spiritual growth and the evolution of consciousness. It is a school for the enlightenment and the revelation of Divinity whereby consciousness/awareness reawakens to is Source. Thus, to pursue enlightenment in and of itself serves the world and God.
- Therefore, to benefit the world, it is necessary to change not the world but oneself.
- Be with the world without resisting.
- Trying to change the world is presuming you know better than God how the world should be.
- Don't try to heal the planet. That is the province of Divinity. Try to become the most loving creature you can become. Become the most perfect human being you can be.
- One's spiritual evolution is of greater value to society than any form of doingness. The level of compassion radiates out and contributes silently to mankind's wisdom.
- To endeavor to evolve spiritually is the greatest gift one can give.
- Ask for direction and divine assistance and surrender all personal will through devotion. Dedicate one’s life to the service of God. Commit to the goal of unconditional love and compassion for all life in all its expression and surrender all judgment to God.
- Choose to be easygoing, benign, forgiving, compassionate and unconditionally loving towards all life in all its expressions without exception, including oneself. Focus on unselfish service and the giving of love, consideration, and respect to all creatures.
Teachings from Huangbo Xiyun [LoC 960]
- There’s only the One Mind.
- Enlightenment is not gradual, but sudden. It is the life’s highest purpose.
- Dhyana practice should concentrate on eliminating all thoughts.
- Conceptual thinking and its results are totally false.
- Life dedicated to gathering merits is a waste of time; and as far as the individual karma is concerned, it’s got time-limited benefits.
- You are not the body, you are not the mind.
- All sense-based knowledge is unreal.
- No seeking! You are already THAT!
Teachings from Thea Alexander [LoC 915]
- All that is One, All that is is perfect for its time and space, All that exists within your life is put there by you for your own evolution.
- "From a purely micro view, karma doesn't exist because it is not perceived as existing."
"From a mid-point of evolution karma is acknowledged as the logical explanation for one's fortunes and misfortunes. It is believed to be real and is, therefore, real as a cause-and-effect element within a continuous time perspective.
"From a more Macro view, however, time is simultaneous, and karma is understood to be a valid element of a limited perspective regarding time. Fortunes and misfortunes are seen, from the broader perspective, not as cause and effect, but as learning opportunities specifically and carefully chosen by each soul for its own development."
- All pain, misery, and disease are the results of resisting that which is inevitable-that which we ourselves have chosen to grow on.
- The measure of a mind's evolution is its acceptance of the unacceptable. What may be unacceptable at the micro level is always acceptable at the Macro level.
- Micro man is not worried by successes, only by failures. Since he is not aware of the cumulative effect, he doesn't realize that every failure is a necessary and successful step toward complete insight. In other words, each failure is a small insight success bringing one that much closer to total insight success.
Others Source:
- We cannot offer shortcuts to enlightenment. Enlightenment is, of the moment, an opening to intelligent infinity. It can only be accomplished by the self, for the self. Another self cannot teach/learn enlightenment, but only teach/learn information, inspiration, or a sharing of love, of mystery, of the unknown that makes the other-self reach out and begin the seeking process that ends in a moment, but who can know when an entity will open the gate to the present?
- Why be concerned with the grass that blooms, withers and dies in its season only to grow once again due to the infinite love and light of the one Creator? This is the message we bring. Each entity is only superficially that which blooms and dies. In the deeper sense there is no end to being-ness.
- The quickest way to learn is to deal with other-selves. This is a much greater catalyst than dealing with the self. Dealing with the self without otherselves is akin to living without mirrors. Then the self cannot see the fruits of its beingness.
- Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting.
- Nothing external to you has any power over you.
- Every wall is a door.
- Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
- What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.
- God enters by a private door into every individual.
- Happy is the hearing man; unhappy the speaking man.
- Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.
- Use what language you will, you can never say anything but what you are.
- The wise man in the storm prays to God, not for safety from danger, but deliverance from fear.
- And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.
- In truth there is no right or wrong. There is no polarity for all will be, as you would say, reconciled at some point in your dance through the mind/body/spirit complex which you amuse yourself by distorting in various ways at this time. This distortion is not in any case necessary. It is chosen by each of you as an alternative to understanding the complete unity of thought which binds all things. You are not speaking of similar or somewhat like entities or things. You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every event, every situation. You are unity. You are infinity. You are love/light, light/love. You are. This is the Law of One.
