Consciousness scale (2): We help each other upwards

Dear Reader,

in our first blog post about the Scale of consciousness from David Hawkins, we had learned that the core qualities of Gradido, gratitude and love, rank very high. Perhaps you are wondering how we can effectively use the insights contained therein to make our beautiful earth once again the paradise it was probably once intended to be.

Still the old fear and guilt based system is trying everything to pull us down emotionally by doing bad things and creating and medially reinforcing the negative emotions of fear and guilt. Will we permanently have the strength for peaceful change? After all, we want to create a good future together for ourselves and the children of the world.

Helping others over the threshold

Dr. David Logan, American professor of executive education, has discovered that we humans are only receptive to the influence of the next higher or next lower threshold of consciousness. Accordingly, we no longer perceive levels that are further away.

This insight is a possible explanation for why unfortunately so many 'reasonable' people are so susceptible to negative propaganda and are very easily pulled down by fear into the destructive area below the 'integrity threshold'. On the other hand, it shows us how important it is that we get ourselves into a positive emotional state as often as possible and do our best to pull our fellow human beings up emotionally with us.

Integrity threshold crossed by more and more people

For a better understanding, let's take another look at the Awareness scale According to D. Hawkins:

• Below level 200 we have the negative, energy-sapping emotions like shame, guilt, apathy, sadness, fear, desire, anger and pride. This is where most people still find themselves - and are thus highly manipulable.
• From level 200, the Integrity threshold, the positive, uplifting emotions begin, and we come more and more into personal responsibility. Here lie courage, confidence, optimism, acceptance , forgiveness and reason, as well as sincerity, letting go, success and science. About 20 % of people were already on these levels in the 1990s. Since then, more and more are.
• Above 500, the Threshold of love, we find love, gratitude, beauty, devotion. According to Hawkins, these are about 4-5-%.
• Above 600 then come peace, bliss - and finally, at the very top, enlightenment. Only very few people reach these high levels.

.

People above the integrity threshold are responsive with their own values of integrity, such as courage, confidence, acceptance, forgiveness, and reason, as well as with next-higher emotions such as love, gratitude, and forgiveness. 

Change the level in the blink of an eye

What has been said so far applies primarily to groups. As individuals, we are much more flexible and can change our state of consciousness very quickly. From "sky-high to sorrowful" is sometimes only a thought away from each other. We quickly slip into lower states of consciousness and react angrily or hurt when we are touched on a sore spot.

Conversely, good news or a positive impulse can pull us out of depression and lift us up to a high emotional state if we let it. We can observe this especially well in children when they have hurt themselves and are crying bitterly. Mom directs their attention to something interesting or beautiful - and all is well again. We adults find this more difficult, but it is also possible for us - especially if we treat each other with gratitude and appreciation.

Be right or be happy

Conflicts usually drag us down into low feelings below the integrity threshold, which are not good for us at all. To be right, both parties go into fight mode, making the conflict even worse. But what do we really want - to be right or to be happy?

A beautiful method of getting back to high feeling states very quickly is the Hawaiian forgiveness ritual Hoʻoponoponowhich, in simplified form, consists of the following four steps:

1. I am sorry.
2. Please forgive me.
3. I love you.
4. Thank you!

.

With the first two sentences we consciously detach ourselves from the conflict. We end the fight mode and move to the level of forgiveness. With the third and fourth sentences we rise to the level of love and gratitude.

The method also works very well alone:

When you are angry with someone - no matter who you think is right - take a step back and take a few deep breaths. Then mindfully speak (out loud or in your mind) one sentence after another. Try to feel each sentence consciously and smile lovingly. If you feel resistance, repeat the exercise a few times. With each repetition your resentment will become less and more dissolved. Afterwards you can act much more friendly, understanding and intelligent. Many conflicts resolve themselves through this ritual alone.

Love and gratitude: a plus-sum game

By raising our emotions in the direction of love and gratitude, we are actively working for peace - on both a small and a large scale. We have nothing to lose in the process, but we all gain. In this way, we serve the triple good: the parties to the conflict save face and are usually happy when the conflict is resolved. The community is also better off without the conflict. And the greater whole, which includes not only nature but also the spiritual world, becomes more harmonious.

Everyone involved is a bit happier - a classic plus-sum game!

What works even with conflicts is self-evident with Gradido: with every Gradido transaction we send love and gratitude to our fellow human beings. Try it out and experience how much joy it gives you and your fellow human beings.

Certainly, many people are hardly responsive to terms like love and gratitude and show rejection. This can be frustrating. But with Hoʻoponopono you quickly bring yourself back into a good state. You may also use it to lift the energy of others and make them smile. If yes, great, if no, that's fine too. Maybe they will join you later.

Just thank everyone

If you keep thanking other people with Gradido on suitable occasions - and even if only a part of them accepts your thanks - I bet that you will soon gather loving people around you who love thanking as much as you do? This creates a wonderful domino effect, and Gradido spreads more and more.

It really is that simple. Don't miss this source of joy!

Imagine 🙂

Picture in your mind's eye how together we create waves of gratitude that penetrate each other! More and more people raise their state of consciousness to the level of love and gratitude. Together we are creating a good future fit for grandchildren - with a monetary and economic system that creates prosperity and peace for all, with love and gratitude flowing through the web with every transaction. Billions of transactions daily lift the energy of the entire human family. A paradise on earth is created.

And you are happy because you are allowed to contribute your valuable part with your very special gifts.

A thousand thanks because you are with us!

Yours
