The Seven Stages To "Full Enlightenment"
Vložit
- čas přidán 17. 06. 2024
- A spiritual or mystical state is the present-tense realisation, to varying degrees, of a profound & intensely-felt freedom.
These higher states are inherent to the human body-mind. And, much closer than one might think!
Therefore, it is possible for them to be triggered at any time.
In fact, states can be experienced at any time by any one..
There is no necessary prerequisite to experiencing or deeply intuiting even the highest of mystical or spiritual states, including the enlightened state.
Profound spiritual states can also be brought about by:
Graphic:
Meditation
Devotional practices
Self-Enquiry
Yoga
Fasting
Prayer
Sex
Satsang
Darshan
Exhaustion
Near-Death Experience (NDE)
Brain Injury
Illness
OR:
For no reason at all!
__________________________________________________________________________
Nevertheless …
How the state is interpreted and understood will depend on the stage of human and/or spiritual development one has achieved, or currently in.
Additionally, the stage will determine whether one is able to stably abide in that higher state.
The difference & relationship between states & stages is that of the difference & relationship between perception & perspective.
At the stage of human development of a child, they will have a child’s perspective of any of their perceptions.
A child’s interpretation of what they perceive will be limited by their stage of human development, i.e. the development stage of their perspective.
An adult’s interpretation of what they perceive will in most cases be a more comprehensive understanding reflecting a higher stage of human development - or a higher human development of perspective.

Correction* The map of India we used in the video is not the right one. Thanks for pointing it out, guys!
States and Stages of Saints and Sages.🙏
This text is brilliant. Who is the author please? Matt MacKane.
I did not expect from the CZcams cover this highly rational and realistic presentation.
Very revealing. Thank you.
Please use the correct map of india because it is a very sensitive matter to us.
We need more people, conscious spiritual, high vibrating people, we are all one! Love and peace, positivity, prosperity to everyone!. Love you all.
"Everything is seen as nothing ...but the radiance of God "
- that final statement is perfection .
The best I’ve ever seen in my life. I’m 18 and growing as a person more n more everyday. We are all while we are nothing. Good luck to anybody on their spiritual journey. Radiating love.
Yess
yup same!! imagine how aware and awake we will be as we get older i cant wait
Same here broski stay strong we have a job to do 🙏🏾💪🏾
What doesn’t make sense to me is the fact that they would glorify Clinton, Al gore, Chopra, and Rhor. These individuals have a history of acting directly in their own self interest. With actions that are directly antithetical to Buddhism, and would carry terrible negative karmic consequence. What the fuck 13:10
And I agree with the idea of depersonalization and ego death as a part of Buddhism, to reconcile oneself with the God. This is twisted. This video is relying on ignorance. The conclusion of a Brave New World is the dangers of allowing the state as the arbiter, controlling every facet of one’s being. Depersonalization and withholding truth to shape your consciousness. Just like George Orwells 1984. Again, directly against the idea of free will and Karmic choice, instead forcing stagnation. The original law has been altered subversively.

I remember being about 10 years old and I was hiking through a swamp with my dad. We came upon a meadow and the sun was shining and the dew was rising up. There were flowers everywhere and so many vivid colors. This was the very first time that I can remember admiring something for it's beauty. It's such a clear memory and it was like something switched on inside of the mind. I guess this would have been in the second stage of life. It's probably one of my favorite memories, because of the whole scenario. 🙂 Thank you for the great video. 🙏
@@BezalElle You are welcome. I'm glad that you thought it was great👍 👌
Yes indeed i have had a similar experience in a garden
you sniffed too much swamp gas
@The Destroyer I'm guessing you're really young. One day you will figure out what is truly special in life. You will be happier when you do. Take care. 🙏
@The Destroyer I was just saying that was the first time I remembered admiring anything for the qualities it possessed. That was what the video was talking about in the second stage which I wrote in the comment. I was just saying that I remembered the moment that I believe I entered the second stage, and it was very special to me because of the entire circumstances. Mostly being out with my dad. I go out in nature all of the time and still admire it, but that day was particularly special for me. Sorry for saying that you must not know what is special in life. I just felt really bad because that is probably my favorite memory. I can see why you thought it wasn't relevant. I hope you have a good night or day depending on where you're at. 🙏
I think we should honestly admit that as a western spiritual seekers we didn't even achieve the 4th stage of surrender, we are still mentally unstable with a bunch of unhealed traumas, we have a lot of physical and psychological attachments and are emotionally weak, yet we can easily call ourselves "enlightened" or "awakened", which is obviously ego's way of compensating inner spiritual immaturity
Speak for yourself
Yeah,i was thinking on that...the 4th stage,I'm like wavering, i know it's there but still I'm trying to surrender, but again, i know it's there the truth, i can feel it,and more and more each day. It needs time,patience, no judgment, nothing, just one,step at a time. It's like a baby forming inside the womb...you can't force that,you know it is but still can speed the arrival to the world. But once you're on the path of spiritual growth, there's no way back,no way back, which comforts me a lot and makes me understand much better the process. And still we're so lucky we have got here and we have this beautiful experience, it's so beautiful. 💜
@@cspace1234nz if you're fully spiritually grown ,you don't brag,you just help another to see what you might see...you know what l mean?! It's not being arrogant, it's not about that my friend...
@@lillym.9626 ….you’re delusional
@@lillym.9626 yes very true, beautifully explained
If you are watching this video, try this: Dont rush. Do loving kindness meditation a few times to soften the mind. Do body scan meditations to anchor yourself. Take 3 deep breaths. Do it many times a day. See if you can catch the space between one thought and another. At some point you will snap in and out of pretty pure states frequently. Meditation is pretty simple. Not easy, but all you really need to do is to be still. If you are completely still and alert, you will see it. I dont claim to be enlightened but I am pretty sure that I have experienced glimpses of even the 7th stage. It is such a pure state. No drug and nothing you ever achieve can compare. It feels absolutely important to become truly self aware.
thank you 💚
I've been practicing meditation for many years now and can easily get into a state of complete silence, yet even in that state of mind, I do not feel anything out of the ordinary except for a moment of deep relaxation. I do not feel this "magic" as described in between two thoughts. What am I doing wrong?
@@jimviau327 There is no "magic" to it. Let go of every expectation. Having expectations ruins your chances. The most successful meditators are those who have a "careless" attitude. You mention that you are doing it wrong. Your doing is key. The fact that you are trying is your mistake. The "catching the space" between two thoughts is a pointer. The words doesnt mean anything unless you can experience it. You are not actually waiting for anything to happen. You are not looking for anything at all. If you stop looking, you will see it.
I got absorbed into the 7th state serendipitously, while contemplating upon a concept of taxonomy n biological classification of flora...and the complexity of nodal positioning of plant appendages...in a single biome..possibly having thousands of species of plants... the topography of a forest is still perefctly aligned to catch maximum sunlight for photosynthesis....🙏🙏
I got tranaported into the centre of the sun itself...n i then remained in that pure dazzling brillant light, equal to a billion suns blazing with full power.. didnt feel the heat, nor did the light hurt my eyes...... i stayed in that bliss for more than 8 hours or sore... ... then wgen i returned to a mild semblance of normalcy, i coudnt even feel my feet on the ground till the next day.. was completely speechless for about 8 hours post that OBE.. as i now call it...
At that time i didnt know or identify what i was experiencing or had experienced till that experience itself drew me to Yoga, ...Aurobindo Ghosh's Savitri..🙏🕉💐🙏🕉☮💖
I was probably gifted with a glimpse of the 7th stage...
Since i am not "established" in it...n have had a series of many such n dufferring OBEs since... all spontaneously n random.. ..highly educative..
Grateful
May light and wisdom embrace everyone watching this. The path to enlightenment is truly real for those who believe and have faith. Thank you! ☀️
The mind is all. This is why meditation is key. Master the mind and you master all forces. As all forces are thought forces derived from one great cosmic mind.

I like how you included Africa in the east and on the topic of spiritual knowledge in general. Commonly in these conversations we are not mentioned despite holding some of the oldest records of advanced spiritual teachings (many lost and hidden due to war).
Facts
e.g. what?
tell me something i should read
African Shamana are respected very much in India due to their spiritual understanding and achievements
These videos help me cope I often feel like I'm going crazy not recognizing them as ego deaths and the no sense of me hits the nail on the head it's a whole different really I've recently been learning alot about it and it helps me realize I'm not crazy may god bless you abundantly 🙏
I am very thankful that you explain very deeply these subjects. Love!!
That was amazing. There's been alot shifts in my life . This explains alot for me and I'll keep working on clearing past experiences . Then integrate new tools for higher learning.
Amazing and informative video which encapsulated a difficult subject into 24 min of pure clarity. Thanks for this.
Epic! OM Namah Shivaya! Thank you and bless you beloved! 💖🙏💐
This truly confused and excited my intellect. This video is so greatly done! Genious! Watching this while high, pushed me even deeper into my highness. Mystical experience, a true connection of self and body. Stillness.
My thoughts & feelings EXACTLY ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
Don't high while u are upgrading ur stage it will extract ur soul into another body i am saying true
@@shock5082 wow really?
@@kevinharris9371 yep i almost sucked up
@@shock5082 Almost happened to me too. I got really really high one night when my Kundalini rose. Wasn't intentional. It just happened to be that I got high during my vedic moon sign.
As a language professor, I add that; that one can learn sentences even paragraphs before learning what the actual word means. Actually, learning phrases before individual words is more common.
Does this relates to the "States" we can experience, before arriving to the "Stage" related to the State (where we can stay constantly in the same state ?)
With other words, we can try to "talk" by saying sentences, even before we really know how to speak and the real meaning of our words ?
Is this because the brain is a pattern recognition system that filters out specific details in order to see more importantly how they relate or relationships instead? One other thing, insecurities dominate many psyches, and the fear of the unknown causes assumptions to replace the unknown. The mind clutches and attaches, it's nature is to grasp, but even science and language are limited before the inability to know or understand anything. Just because we call it electricity or apple doesn't mean we know electricity or taste apple. Language is extremely limited, the ability to know by words is a fallacy and falls short of truth, no one can know how you feel around someone you love, and those who Know are silent.
Much gratitude for this enlightening video! Thank you!
Thanks so much 🙏🏽I’ve been reading a couple of Ken Wilburs books and, although huge areas make sense to me, other areas I found hard to believe that MOST of it was making sense too. Hard to explain but this video wraps it up so well and has improved my confidence in understanding/knowing about Ken Wilbur’s philosophy 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is beautiful and her voice is also so tranquil. Thank you 🌀
Not really
Beautifully done in every way, narration, pictures and teachings. Bless you 💖✨💖🙏🏼💖✨🕊🤗

To give some context about the 7th stage, it's much rarer than one could think. Sri Anandamayi Ma, Adi Da Samraj and Sri Guru Babaji are one of the few that are stablished in the 7th stage. Being Sri Anandamayi Ma the rarest of the rarest as such state and stage were constant since his birth till her dead.
Thank you for the clarity. 💛💡🙏
Perfect!! So we see enlightenment is human and is our innate potential. We must develop ourselves first as humans before transcending it
This is amazing. Thank you for providing clear information about the entire process. It's a really important contribution. Thank you for your service.
“That is the real spiritual awakening when something emerges from within you that is deeper than who you thought you were. So, the person is still there, but one could almost say that something more powerful shines through the person
Your videos and content are absolutley Top-quality, thank-you!
east is focused on spiritual cause theire survival issues were solved earlier than west
West has not solved they just coping and selling work of east as theres. If they understood they will never sell christanity. Christ spent years in himalayas learning. Christmas tree itself is representation of kundalini. Christ conciousness is same. Blood of jesus is dna changes after awakening. How many western experts will except it.
Darwin Evolution theory is copied from vishnu 10 avatars. Noah arc from vishnu matsya avatar. 4 ages copied from yugas system.
True as fk abhisex bro..
Now its opposite.
East has not enough food n shouting mdafka spirituality.
God is spirit and is within all of humanity and it is literally in every direction simultaneously. The whole world is connected whether we agree or not...
I agree with that.
Brilliant. This is exactly the information that I needed. 🙏🏽👑🌞🌚❤️
We are lucky to have this channel
I wish I would have been taught about this when I was young. Instead of it looking like a road map backwards. But i feel blessed to be one paths that is allowed to experience this instead of being trapped in the cycles of the 3d mindset. Thank you my cosmic sibling for having this created for us. And thank you to the master to putting this video on the path.
@The Destroyer I started experiencing this without ever seeing or hearing about it. I am grateful that I was given the chance to experience this. when I look at family members still trapped in the programmed way of thinking I feel blessed. You are welcome to your opinion but I whole heartedly disagree.
@The Destroyer one thing i have learned is fact and truth, like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But I love and respect that you have yours. I have seen the other side of the veil. And now realize more than ever that it is very sujective.
@The Destroyer Not trying to act smart. The only thing I know is that I truly know nothing.
@The Destroyer not trying to act smart once again. as well as i am not letting my emotions get the best of me. Calm down. You are far more than your bodies reactions and should know how to over ride your bodies prompts to react negatively. These are thing you learn and see when you start going through the proccess explained in this video. It was clear that you haven't experienced it yet because you were calling it b.s. but it also displayed in the fact that you are losing control of your emothions with little micro aggressions instead of having a calm back and forth.
@The Destroyer lol. Smart is just a word. Why are you so combative? Are you trying to prove to me you are right? Or, are you trying to convince yourself? Open yourself up to the will of the Master, Allow yourself to be guided and release your own preconceived beliefs that others have provided to you. When you reach "knowing nothing." Than you will know what that truely means. The meaning it is far different that what it sounds like.
U explained this so wonderfully. Thank u so much for this beautiful info. Namaste🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this beautiful video.
It clearly explains the stages that i went through up until now at age 62.
Love and Blessings.
These 7 stages are explained in deep detail in Meher Baba book God Speaks

Excellent, both in content and presentation.
Whooooow!!! Amazing insight
Best explanation, well said, with such clarity… much gratitude
🌀💚💙💜♻️🌬💛🧡❤️
Amazing video, thanks for compiling this information. There are many cases when people took dmt/lsd/shrooms and came in touch with a higher stage of consciousness. However, like this video mentions, since their state did not allow that expansion of consciousness, they were not able to sustain it and some even got affected with psychosis. The eastern Sages studied Moksha and Nirvana since ages, which imo is the most important thing to be learned by an individual. Yet today we live in a society which has left very little room for spiritual discovery.
Can't believe from doctrines to this, Its only after freeing myself from doctrine I started to realize deep secrets of universe. Thank You self for this success.
What deep secrets of the Universe did you learn?
@@jacovawernett3077
Many, you also know them what specific question would like to ask?
@@Zzz-.-369infinity please, you mentioned that only after freeing yourself from doctrine you started to realize things, have you realized infinity? Like unbound consciousness, limitless self, or whatever other names it has
Thank you for a great video, so well made 👍🌞💗

This is a superb analysis that so few people understand. They puzzle over how someone like David Koresh (Waco TX debacle) could turn out so psychotic and harmful after experiencing mystical states, whereas it was obvious that he was in a very immature (egotistical) "stage" of psychological/spiritual development. This partially explains many otherwise puzzling cases.
What I agree with is that indeed the spiritual process is natural, like digesting food.
@Saul Goodman HI Saul
I can appreciate your diligence, but I must say this. The spiritual process is an inward one. No people are necessary, nor are any retreats. Your spontaneous life experiences from moment to moment in conjunction with meditation and spiritual practice leads to inner peace.
I might add that depending upon outside sources is very much the practice of religious folk and spiritual seekers who have not grasped the principle of looking within.
To be clear, it's good to read whatever and listen to whomever, but one must always end up looking within.
Fabulous 🙏 thank you
Loving all 🔊 💞

Thank you 💕💕💕
Extraordinarily well done. Thank you. 🙏
perfect way to end the video! 💚🌲I loved the wiggly words ;)
Human beings are like the Stars in the universe .. Multiferious in size , color and energy. But they all are made by the same SOURCE . 🥰🙏🏽
Thank you so much. So informative and well done. I spend most of my time in stage seven. I don’t plan anything. I never worry. I like to repeat to myself some mantras that help me stay in a state of simmering rapture, like, either love it, or love it, or, thank you, I have no complaints whatsoever, are a few. It’s good to have a sense of humor. This last third eye activation it stayed open. Once a week I lead a kundalini yoga practice with a small group of friends. Remember, no one is left behind. We all go together.
I won a humility contest....I think
There is no where to go.
Yes, well said. There is no such thing as time or space, ultimately. The one original seed atom is within y/our heart. There is no where to go, nothing to do, there is nothing to win. We remember that we are already enlightened. We always have been. Forgetting this truth causes the separation and the suffering. There is no separation between nirvana and samsara. It’s the same. Things can stay exactly as they are. And we love it all. Honestly deeply sincerely love all that is, looking through the eye of god. And once you stabilize into level seven, you realize that you are on the beginning step for a whole new journey of expansion. Liberation is our destiny.
@@kellenekulas5058 it's fascinating, almost funny, how certain you speak of such uncertain topics.
Yes, I agree! I’m the one laughing hardest of all! I did mention in my original post that a sense of humor was essential. It is hard to imagine that a normal regular person could have found their way back to the source of their being. It almost seems unfair. Or blasphemous. But it is our birthright and destiny to do so. Every single one of us. You. So who am I to deny the truth? But if we engage in mocking others for finding their way to a place of direct knowledge, then we are also discouraging others from attempting the journey by our negative influence. Honestly, I don’t care how I’m seen or judged. I am constantly bemused by the whole situation. Seriously though, I’m more concerned that your judgements would inhibit your own ability to be open to the unfoldment of the great mystery in your own life. My compassion is with all those who have suffered spiritual persecution, and my heart goes out to the perpetrators, because they are the most wounded, and separated from source of all. To surrender to the will of heaven means that you do not need to be certain about anything. Give up certainty for eternity. All I am certain about is that I do not breathe, I am breathed through. I do not do, it is done through me. Enlightenment is to give up everything we have ever been certain about, in order to free ourselves to be open to unlimited possibilities. I am at peace in the formless unknowingness. The deepest peace is known to me. I speak up to encourage people to not give up, to keep deepening their connection to source, which nothing and no one has the power to diminish or take away. That is known, and certain. There is a saying, before enlightenment, carry water, chop wood. After enlightenment, carry water, chop wood. It’s the same life. What changes is you. May all beings be free. Sat Nam.
Fun story, with a neat development structure taking consciousness from one stage to another in a nice orderly fashion. This is the story told by the intellect (prospective). There's yet other stories without sequential (time/space) boundaries. One such story is that without a time/space prospective. Every stage/state is available right now in this very location, here and now, for short and simultaneously. These basic model principles (here/now/simultaneous) fall beyond the intellect. It is resonant frequency that determines the next step in development. And sometimes its a short exploration, epiphany. Or a sustainable shift into a new state on consciousness, depending on the strength of the nervous system. Not as orderly as your model but rather an organic development and therefore more of a true depiction of consciousness development.
I will give you credit for the inclusion principle, integration. If one is truly interested in full enlightenment then everything must be included and valued equally. And that Wholeness cannot be fully explained. Not even by the Einstein of Consciousness.
BTW, Nothingness holds and major role in Wholeness. You did mention it in passing but its significance is highly underrated. Something-ness is something because of No-thing-ness. Equal billing at the lease.
Thank you!
Wonderful summary!
Very beautiful ❤️
Pure bliss...

Really informative upload, I will say the level of knolowadge and research showen here is correct and reccomned watching if you reading the comments first. Especially the difference about of states and stages of spirituality and you only enter a new stage of enlightment when the lord knows you are ready its almost like a apprentaship with God. Thank you Hare Krishna🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌👉
Im still learning but im sure you get a more vivid memery as you grow spirituality.
„There is nothing in the universe that is not one with everything else, except the human mind.“ [Sadhguru]
There is nothing that is outside of consciousness itself, for consciousness is 'all there is.' Thus, the human mind, just like a rock, and everything else is also part of it all. Sadhgure needs a glass of french wine. ;)
Dear @@CarschA . The way I see it, Sadhguru is very well aware that everything is one. With this above sentence he is pointing out the ignorance of peoples (all non-enlightened beings?!), who have „the audacity“ to really think and act like they are separate. Kindly understand him this way🙏🏼
Wondrous, wondrous !
Its not about reading or learning, it is about seeking❤
They are all stages in themselves. Reading and learning are all part of it. Even seeking will eventually fall away and become abiding. Abiding becomes being. ❤
Great Video, Thank You
yall made me think i had hppd for a second lmaoo with the subtle visual effects, i see you!

States and stages...deeply relevant for me. Having encountered deeply flawed gurus along the path who clearly had supernormal powers, yet were unpleasant manipulative people. As a result i am now sceptical of those claiming 'enlightenment'.

I have experienced the 6th ego death spontaneously as a state. Nothing died because ego is false and I really enjoyed being aware of the illusion the mind creates. Though I know the ego is false I don't fully understand the connection I realized at that time.

How do you understand it today?

Suzanne Segal appeared to have her crown opened and thus in relation with the infinite devine but without an adequately developed root/second chakra. That is why proper practice should always emphasize the sensations of the body with less emphasis on the upper chakras. Once well rooted, the upper work will happen spontaneously.
