Essay of consciousness levels according to Ken Wilber
To begin this essay, the themes of Ken Wilber’s consciousness will be covered, which has been based throughout his life on explaining what the evolution of being smokeing from a perspective of the conscious to a visceral evolution which will give as a divine result which will result Where the human being understands everything from a point of view of "this is" and "for this reason" in the same way, when achieving these tasks will begin in a stage where suffering no longer exists, first of all, the Basic consciousness structures for Ken Wilber in psychological development can be divided into two types of structures that are: basic and transition, these basic structures once they have emerged these will last throughout the development of a people in the Consciousness, this basic structure of consciousness is the pillar of the great chain of being and is the element responsible for giving a spectral model to the so -called Ken Wilber spectral model; The great chain of being was discovered in 1975-1976. On the other hand, we have the transition, these will be provisional and have a tendency to be provisionally replaced by the development phases detailed below.
Wilber is a doctor, a philosopher who is responsible for explaining that there are 9 basic chains which, one by one constitute a very complete and organized hierarchical level that decrees the entire vital paradigm of that being at any exact moment of the evolution of that individual.
Each level explains a different way of understanding the world.
The level of consciousness is the ability of a being to observe the world, is the vision of the world, from where it is contemplated and from where you can act, the way in which events come to perceive events in a specific motivational system ofdesires and expectations, as well as a series of behaviors, thoughts and feelings that are the particularity of each level.
In the first instance and in order I will explain the 9 levels of consciousness that Wilber points out in his book (Wilber, 2005, page.102) There is talk of the first level or also known as a physical sensory, this level is the lowest and is where it predominates to perception and sensation, animal level, it is about surviving, eating, and not being eaten, characterized by problems with problems withThe territory, the person only cares to meet the most primary needs and their response is based on an aggressive jungle, this occurs in the animal world where the lowest egos are unleashed and the main motivation focuses on the satisfaction of the needsbasic.
On the second level is the emotional-phasmic level. This level is known as the children’s level (Jodorowsky, 2016, page 1), this level refers to the mind that operates exclusively through images, is the sexual emotional level, libido, the lower mind, is the consumer byExcellence, it is when the person remains infantilized (many adults are at this level even in their advanced age), it is the consciousness of childhood, priority is entertainment, play, collect, watch movies, the consciousness of the movies,It is not intended to reach anywhere, it only considers being entertaining.
Now we continue with the third level, adolescent level (Jodorowsky, 2016, page 1) This structure is developed in two stages, that of symbols (2-4 years) and that of the concepts (4-7 years) but despite That it is a higher level of consciousness than the previous The vital energy theme is taken, this would correspond to the third farm, at this level of adolescent it is about being loved, being admired, the world is challenged and it is about integrating a gang, it is tried to leave the family clan, in This level is permanently requested by approval, there is a vision both of the life that leads to perfectionism, this character can be observed at this level of awareness in the current television series, it consists of assessing above all the fact of be done, is to meet the couple, C Ontinuously, the ideal woman or man is being sought, the soulmate, she is not aware that the couple is a continuous crisis.
We reach level number 4, the level of mind-regla -rol, this level is the adult-egoist (Jodorowsky, 2016.page 1) It is the structure in which the role of others can already be assumed, it operates on sensory objects, or on complete objects, at this level what is attempted is to defend their own interests, preserve security, propertyPrivate, it is the adult who invests but can also be an exploitative adult, whose eagerness is to possess and exploit, an example of this could become politicians, people who dominate industrial work or as grossOf controlled substances, which makes a lot of money taking advantage of others, they use their power for their own benefit without assessYou can find the toxic industries that generate many benefits but contaminating and breastfeeding society. If exploiter, that selfishness can lead to being abuser and live in mental isolation with very little empathy.
We continue, level 5, better known as: mind-reflective-force, this is the altruistic and social level and this is the first structure that may think about the world, but it can also think about thought, it is introspective and self-reflective self, whatthat allows you to assume more plural views.(Aurobindo, 2011, page 3) In this level of mind it can be called rational, here it is already shared and the generous adult can be called, who knows how to give and receive, you learn what the service is to others, it givesA service to the community although it wins much more money with that, one could be a great doctor, a surgeon or perhaps an entrepreneur who in addition to so many beneficiaries in some way benefiting the society that surrounds him.
Now we have structure number 6, the level of vision and logic, level of planetary adult (Jodorowsky, 2016, page 1) This level is a more panoramic mind, with the ability to establish relationships, synthesize, coordinate ideas and integrate concepts , this would be the superior mind according to Aurobindo who was a professional in the yoga cathedral, a philosopher in search of the independence of his country, India and poet, this is the most integrative mind within the personal domain, beyond this Level is already the transpersonal domain, it is an ecological consciousness of service, of responsibility, this is the level to which the inhabitants of the Earth should aspire, it is the level that crosses and transcends the local barriers and expands at the level Humanitarian, but the error of being with planetary consciousness is the perhaps to stay stagnant in the here and now and thus it would not reach the destination of each being and the total unification with the universe, but this neither Vel de Consciousness is very powerful.
We continue, the level number 7, the psychic level, this level is already the culmination of the previous level and the visionary experiences, it would correspond, if we talk about energy, to the 6th farm of the 3rd eye, the opening to the transcendent domains of the person, at this level the cognitive and perception capacities of the individual go far beyond personal abilities, in fact, the ability of thought is overcome by the ability to perceive internal vision, that allows the ability to transcend the everyday life. Understand life, the individual here considers the solar system and not the earth as its natural environment.
At this level you are in peace with all the events that have marked personal and humanity history, it would lead to live in the frequency of great archetypes and the incarnation of symbols (Jung, 2012, page 1).
All these aspects if they join in an all that is their spirituality, their religion the person who has this level of consciousness lives in close relationship with the creative principle, call it God, vital strength, consciousness, unitary center.
(Wilber, 2005.) The penultimate level, level number 8, the subtle level, this level would be a level of ecstasy, the domain of lighting, is the intuitive mind of “aurobindo” here the person realizes, is aware that it is not theUnique way of life, at this level it has already been discovered that everything is united, the secret of consciousness is re-union, re-joining what was separated, the individual realizes that it is part of a galaxy thatSo or once belongs to the universe, it is a very large scale that overcomes us and makes us a small drop of water in the immense ocean. At this level, it is knowing how to relativize everyday problems, because it is inclined to cosmic laws, death is accepted, it follows from all possession and surrendered to emptiness.
(Wilber, 2005.) And this is how the last level was reached, level 9, also called a causal level. This level is the transcendental substrate of all lower levels, the universal self without form, the own identity, individual. At this level, it is lost or better diluted with the awareness of unity, this would be the consciousness that Buddha, Christ, Muhammad reached, this level of consciousness is beyond the reach of the normal ones;We are human beings, the divinity gives the feeling that it remains in another plane of moment, but feel and intuit.
Our gaze to the world is filtered by the level of consciousness we have and this in turn is directly related to the level of consciousness of our family tree, however, we can all move forward and thus reaches a last level, it is the spiritabsolute, super mind, the reality itself and essence of other levels.
(Feria, 2009, S.P) To access these levels of consciousness, it must be understood that each higher level solves the limits of the previous level and each level proposes a new growth challenge to exceed each level of consciousness. The lower the level of awaremore illness and there is the reason for overcoming each level, when a level begins to exceedawareness, without leaving aside that no level is better or worse than the other since all these are a way in which the consciousness can be made at some point in the life of each individual who experiences various situations. In order to access or know the state of awareness that each individual has to resort to the kinesiology test, which aims to find if something is false or true, good or bad. This experiment is achieved based on the reaction of the muscles, which react strongly to good and true stimuli with weakness against negative and false stimuli
To conclude this essay on Ken Wilber’s levels of consciousness I have to say that these 9 levels or structures of consciousness as the reader wants to call them, these 9 levels are fundamental, these 9 levels described above are dominant throughout the evolutionary process andWhen it is ascending on the stairs of the evolution of consciousness, each new structure or level includes at the previous levels, that is, a person who is at a level of psychic consciousness structure also includes the least evolved levels and consequently depending onof circumstances can act in any of those situations that everyday life presents us. It is not about accessing illuminated consciousness links losing the status of normal person, if not, of integrating all the experiences won and acting in each situation using each level properly depending on the occasion without losing sight of the rod world that encompasses eachlevel.
