0. Consciousness
Consciousness refers to the intangible will with which we operate our twelve-dimensional body.
The more we experience life, the more we learn, and the more our will becomes refined. We can say that our level of consciousness increases.
Ultimately, a higher level of consciousness implies that we manifest the vehicles through which we experience life in a different way. At some point, we do not even manifest physical bodies but focus our experience of life in the spiritual dimensions.
Naturally, the consciousness that humans on Earth have access to enables the manifestation of a typical human body, dominant in the third core frequency of light, called Feeling.
However, as humans evolve through life's experiences, they begin to see things differently, meaning their level of consciousness or vibration frequency increases. This suggests they start manifesting their vehicles with more Thinking energy and less Feeling energy. We could say they are transforming from humans to so-called Ascended Masters, meaning humans who have mastered Earth's curriculum by truly being God-conscious beings.
For such people, the only way to keep growing in understanding who they can become is to ascend from the Earth plane and advance in life within the non-physical dimensions.
The reason I share this is that all cycles of life lead to higher levels of consciousness. A small cycle, like one breath, causes a tiny expansion of consciousness, while a vast cycle, such as being reborn repeatedly over a two-thousand-year period on Earth, results in quite noticeable differences. However, from a cosmic perspective, this is still just a tiny cycle.
In truth, an entire so-called Spiral Cycle, which is a period during which a plant evolves into a fully God-conscious being through stages as animal, human, Enlightened being, and Blissful being, isn’t actually very large compared to the vastness of this universe.
The only thing that never changes in life is consciousness. And the only thing that constantly changes is a being’s ability to infuse themselves with it, that is, vibrating with a higher frequency.
