two things sit together it was quite a

two things sit together it was quite a spiritual conundrum the solution came

spiritual conundrum the solution came

spiritual conundrum the solution came when the realization arrived that

when the realization arrived that

when the realization arrived that spiritual development has two distinct

spiritual development has two distinct

spiritual development has two distinct streams one of growing up and one of

streams one of growing up and one of

streams one of growing up and one of waking up the waking up stream is the

waking up the waking up stream is the

waking up the waking up stream is the development of states of consciousness

development of states of consciousness

development of states of consciousness and often comes with practices from the

and often comes with practices from the

and often comes with practices from the east so with lots of meditation

east so with lots of meditation

east so with lots of meditation hopefully we can get out of our gross

hopefully we can get out of our gross

hopefully we can get out of our gross waking state and to say witnessing stage

waking state and to say witnessing stage

waking state and to say witnessing stage and hopefully if we’re very lucky get

and hopefully if we’re very lucky get

and hopefully if we’re very lucky get into some non-duality but this also goat

into some non-duality but this also goat

into some non-duality but this also goat runs alongside the development of stages

runs alongside the development of stages

runs alongside the development of stages of consciousness and this was discovered

of consciousness and this was discovered

of consciousness and this was discovered by Western psychologists and they found

by Western psychologists and they found

by Western psychologists and they found out that human beings always have a

out that human beings always have a

out that human beings always have a perceptual filter almost like a goldfish

perceptual filter almost like a goldfish

perceptual filter almost like a goldfish bowl I think of it as going round their

bowl I think of it as going round their

bowl I think of it as going round their heads which is perceiving reality and

very clear when they’re in play one of the interesting parts of these stages of

the interesting parts of these stages of

the interesting parts of these stages of development is that these people and

development is that these people and

development is that these people and doing a lot of meditation even in deep

doing a lot of meditation even in deep

doing a lot of meditation even in deep states of men

states of men tation these stages of consciousness

tation these stages of consciousness

tation these stages of consciousness cannot be perceived because they’re

the river we can take their food and so

the river we can take their food and so we get the emergence of the next level

we get the emergence of the next level

we get the emergence of the next level of human consciousness the red power

5,000 years ago of the first blue level

5,000 years ago of the first blue level so again we’ve gone from intensely

so again we’ve gone from intensely

so again we’ve gone from intensely individualistic back to a group

individualistic back to a group

individualistic back to a group consciousness and this really happened

consciousness and this really happened

consciousness and this really happened first of all with the the Egyptians and

first of all with the the Egyptians and

first of all with the the Egyptians and it’s very interesting that the Egyptians

it’s very interesting that the Egyptians

it’s very interesting that the Egyptians built the pyramids and of course this

built the pyramids and of course this

built the pyramids and of course this level creates that pyramidical structure

where truth is given at Green as being

where truth is given at Green as being pluralistic so it’s saying all truth is

pluralistic so it’s saying all truth is
