7 Levels of Awareness
Whether someone is conscious or not aware of it interacting/communicating requires this foundation.Ability to control yourself which is very closely related to the word "Awareness."How aware we are when talking?Observing changes in sound pressure?Body language?Catch message from the other person?Which will create the ability to build relationships long term harmony.
When looking for material for this article, I found one 1 pyramid shape with 7 levels of human consciousness, which I developed and translate with my experience:
- Flight of Fight
The meaning is when we face a situation, what level of awareness would you act?Flights meaning that when we are disinterested, or powerless, the tendency will be leave the situation.If the opposite is true, you will "Fight" which means to fight with existing conditions.For example, someone we are talking to has abilities and his skills are above us, so we will try to fight ourselves by trying keep paying attention to it.But when we give up, it means we "Flight" not paying attention to what he says and of course this level of awareness becomes lowest order.Just like animal instincts, fight or break leave/escape from the conditions experienced.
- Follow The Crowd
We move to the next level, viz awareness carried out in accordance with applicable norms.Follow the rules existing.For example, someone we meet looks dominant, but we don't comfortable, and we remain polite and do not act outside the rules play.Or the right word is "normative", let's just follow the attitude, aka surrender without action.In my opinion, this is an awareness that is still standard, not yet there are prominent actions that we take.Life goes on as it is what we live by.Without resistance without meaningful action.
- Desire without Action
The next level, that is, we have thought about taking action, but an idea emerged inside our thoughts, are just an aspiration.Why does it feel so hard to do?It's good to have, but I have no intention to take action.Well, this level, maybe it's suitable with the term "omdo" you are aware of it but it's just talk (just talking). I think most people are like that, just commenting, thinking but that's all there is to it.Eventually people like this just become observer/spectator and does not produce any effort in his life incl his interactions with other people.For example, you realize you have to start a conversation first with other people, but when we experience that situation, we instead he was silent, even though he was aware in his mind to say hello first, but no words come out of your mouth, like "hello sir/madam, congratulations morning?How are you today?Yesterday I saw on IG that he had just moved house Yes, how is the new house?”
- Express Uniqueness
Nah, kesadaran ini akan membuat anda menjadi lebih menonjol dengan pemikiran yang sejalan dengan tindakan anda. Setiap manusia memang unik dan berbeda, penduduk dunia ini yang jumlahnya 7 Milyar lebih tidak ada satupun manusia yang mempunyai DNA yang sama. Ketika kita terkoneksi dengan lingkungan dan situasi, kita berani bicara dan menunjukkan siapa diri kita. Kondisi ini tentu sifatnya sangat individual. Terlepas dari ucapan dan tindakan kita apa tepat atau tidak, karena ini berpulang kepada setiap individu. Bisa saja kalau anda termasuk orang yang spontan tentu anda akan bicara bertindak sesuai dengan apa yang diinginkan.
- Give Self a Command and Keep It
The next awareness is a actions/words that we continuously do so that this will create a rhythm/pattern of everything we live.Eventually we get used to it with that rhythm.Become disciplined with what we do and what we do have.But are the actions/words we do correct or not?Not yet of course the answer is, because we have to continue our awareness up to the level top.
- Real Learning
We know the term experience is valuable teacher in this life.From the experiences we go through, awareness what arises?Have you learned any lessons learned?If we are reactive in living this life?What results did you get? For example, you always speak quickly (Level 4 and 5) to see what impact you get by talking fast?Or act quickly?Is that awareness arising?And What would you do better?Many of us also rarely do "self". evaluation.”For me, self-evaluation must be done all the time, because this will make us better over time.Level 6 consciousness This is a good summary in that order.When you arrive At this point, of course references and insights will lead you in a far direction improve/grow.
- Respond vs React
This is the top level where we are already can control ourselves, we have learned from experience at level 6, we are aware of the best impact of what we are living, we already are do analysis and find out whether it is better for us to respond or react?For example when our friends confide in us and say “oh why do I always fail at romance?”So, what words would you say?Respond with the word that wise would be better than react.Because react is the result of spontaneity that arises and can give rise to conditions that are not in accordance with hope.When we respond, we will take a moment to breathe, think and... act/speak from positive awareness and build positive relationships harmonious with whoever or whatever we live with.
It's time for everyone to have a higher level of awareness OK, be more aware, not reactive, like watching a presidential candidate debate America between Trump and Bidan yesterday, where both of them were very reactive, weren't they? responsive.Oh yes, from my experience including seeing a lot of things in Occupation, a person's age certainly has nothing to do with their level of maturity someone's emotions.Apart from matters of culture, culture, character and personality, This all must be aligned with our life goals, who we are talking to and why are we in this world? Full awareness to level 7 is mandatory, regardless of our age.
