Climbing the Pyramid

Spiritual progress can be understood as climbing a pyramid. Most beings are at the base, while very few are near the top. Above the pyramid is God, who sees all. The higher you climb, the more you can see. Your consciousness evolves, and you understand things more clearly because you see them from a different perspective. The more you see, the better the decisions you are able to make.

Climbing the pyramid can essentially be understood as the process of dissolving the ego.

The higher you climb, the more you are able to differentiate yourself from your ego. As you do, you become aware of your prejudices, preferences, and the hidden time bombs buried in your unconscious mind.

Fear is necessary for physical survival and belongs to lower levels of consciousness. As consciousness moves beyond these concerns, fear becomes increasingly unnecessary.

As you progress through different levels of spiritual development, one of the first things you begin to notice is a growing sense of empathy. This is essential. If you follow the signs the system is sending you, you will learn not to judge others, but to try to understand why they do the things they do.

Only God sees everything. Everyone else has incomplete information and is given only what they need to climb to the next step. As you climb higher, you learn to accept that everything happens for a reason, even when that reason is not yet clear. What seems wrong or incomprehensible from one level may make sense when seen from the next.

All information is always available in the larger field of consciousness. Since our reality is created through the interaction between our unconscious mind and this field, the level of our spiritual development determines what we are able to materialize from it.

Every time you reach a new level, new horizons appear, and what you see may seem like the ultimate truth. You must remain flexible. Every level is only a springboard to the next. Be prepared to revise what you thought you knew before.

Good and evil are useful concepts at the lower levels of the pyramid. The higher you climb, the more apparent it becomes that you are looking at a perfect construct, constantly in motion and perfectly balanced. Everything is exactly as it is meant to be. If you do not yet understand this, keep climbing.

Spiritual development is not limited to one lifetime but unfolds across many lifetimes. From the human perspective, these lives appear sequential, one following another. From a higher perspective, they exist simultaneously, each contributing to the development of the whole.

As you climb through the levels, you may be tempted to look down on those you leave behind. This is a trap laid by the ego. The moment you begin to feel superior to others, you have actually regressed.

The old man at the top of the mountain does not preach or judge. He only holds up the mirror.
