Levels Of Consciousness Development · We will always be looking for “something more” because we are always growing · Idea often comes across as an usatisifi9ed “the grass is always greener…” · If we are not moving forward, we are either moving backward, or becoming stagnant Transformation: the act or process of being transformed; change in form, appearance, nature, or character; a radical change or alteration. Transformation: · We change in stages or steps · Steps can look the same, but they are actually much different from each other · Journaling can help clients create a benchmark to compare where they are at with where they used to be Stages of Consciousness Development · Ego-Centric Self · Interpersonal of Socialized self · Independent Self · Integral (or Inter-individual) Self · Sacred Self Ego-Centric Self: · From birth to about age 16 · This is where a person’s sense of self is created · Patterns of behavior are developed · Basis for relationship behavior is developed · About 15% of adults don’t make it past the ego-centric stage · Most people who don’t progress past this stage have been victims of trauma The Independent Self · Major transition in life · Only 25% of people make this transformational process · People transform because they can no longer ignore the “call of the soul” · People must come to understand that their purpose/goal/value is not wrapped up in what society says about you, but who/how God created you to be · Challenge: create an internal self where self-reflection happens · Authenticity becomes key · Self-expression and cooperation become new organizing principles Interpersonal Of Socialized Self · Most people function in this stage · People identify themselves in whatever role they take in society-mother, father, provider, teacher, etc. (“I am my role”) · This stage brings with it a sense of belonging and perceived stability · When the role is gone, the persons sense of identity is gone with it and people then have to find a way to redefine themselves · Goals/behaviors are pre-determined by others (family, employers, society in general) · Most people have learned to stifle desires they have · It can be scary to venture out of this stage for the first time Integral (Or Inter-Individual) Self · Text says that only about 1% of adults reach this stage · 14% of adults are in the process of getting to this stage · People begin to understand the contest in which they operate as individuals-they are parts of a whole but not determined by it · Realization that they have many facets of their personality-who they are in various contests · Realization there is no need to be perfect, or even whole or complete · Gain the ability to see others as people who operate out of the context of where they are and where they came from Sacred Self · Text says spirituality becomes a part of who the person sees themselves to be · Person identifies themselves with the soul Person identifies their personality with the soul, as opposed to their physical bodies
