Have you ever been in a situation where a friend did a personal growth program and you tried the same thing and it just didn't work for you? Now the reason this happens is because many people assume everything in personal growth applies to everyone. Personal growth is like martial arts. There are different belt levels and the tools you use at each level are different. Somebody talks about the Law of Attraction and you're like, yes, I'm going to try that. And it doesn't work. The reality is there are four distinct and unique levels of consciousness in which we can operate from. These are levels of how our consciousness and our self awareness relate between us and the world around us. The tools are different in every level. For example, if you're in level one and you try to do something like vision boards or Law of Attraction, it's not gonna work. If you're at level three and you try to do creative visualization, you're slowing yourself down. Now, when you understand the level you're at, not only can you choose the right tool, but you can get better results and you can figure out how to ascend to the next level and the level and the next level. Now, when you look at personal growth from this lens, you get better results faster and you evolve crazy, crazy, crazy fast. Now, it could take five to 10 years to go from one level to the other, but you can engineer rapid evolution, rapid awakening. When we talk about awakening, when we talk about becoming wiser, this is essentially what is going on now. I started learning about these levels, I started exploring them over the last 15 years as I started working with countless spiritual. And I started using my engineering mind to digest the frameworks and the ideas that they were putting forth and put this into patents that I could use and I could also teach to the Mindvalley community. 70% of the world is at level one. Roughly 25% I would estimate, is at level two. 4% level three and only 1% right now are at level four. If you get to level four, the entire way you show up in the world is different. The quest for wisdom is to go from level one, level four. If you find these ideas interesting, join me in this upcoming masterclass right here on mindvalley. I'm going to be going deep into the four levels of consciousness and showing you exactly what tool to use in what level. And you'll also learn to understand what level you could be playing at.
