Consciousness of Consequence

At this level, when the Consciousness becomes aware of spiritual planes which are difficult to know, are uncertain, difficult if not impossible to prove, and lie in the realm of speculation, the categorization of the alternating concrete and abstract levels, if valid on the lower levels of the Consciousness of Consequence, are extended into upper non-physical or spiritual levels as an aid to the unlocking of the nature of these speculative planes.

FIFTH STATE:

The Fifth State of the Consciousness of Consequence is the conviction, as a fair degree of certainty based on empirical circumstance and experience, of an individual spirit existing on a non-material plane. This conviction may be derived from experiences like Astral Projection, Enlightenment, the near death tunnel or sometimes drugs. This conviction may also parallel the Third State, as the affect of spirit in the material world on behalf of the individual. However unlike the Third State, in this case the individual may have to at least postulate the idea, that the use of spiritual power and magic, as a means of understanding Consequence and promoting change, may rest solely in the province of individual responsibility and not merely the suggestion, approval or sanction of other forces. Thus the Consequence of assuming sole responsibility is increased accordingly, along with the possibility of Karma and consequential requital. The concept of total responsibility may be further enforced by the possible insight and spiritual awareness, as in the case of Enlightenment, that the individual identity becomes less and less singular, and more and more unified with the whole or a oneness with all.

CONCRETE:

Since the conviction of a spiritual self is based on empirical sensory evidence, as various kinds of experience, circumstances and action, such as spiritual manifestation or magic, the conviction of same is said to enforce some degree of positive Consequence.
