The 7 levels of awareness



Level 1 Animal : Flight or fight

In our evolutionary process this the most primal. This is the animal instinct within us that we call on in times of intense danger. The human nervous system is automatically setup to react to danger by flooding the body with neoro-chemicals like adrenaline that help us survive in life threatening situations. There is no conscious decision making process involved it is all reaction. based on instincts.

Level 2 : Mass
This is the herd mentality. If we look at how masses of people live, think and work we can see that there is a definite pattern in behavior. Many people , if you stopped to ask them why they do the same thing every one else does and they would probably say that they have to, they have no choice... This really isnt true,we all have a choice all the time This is the stage of conformity just doing what is expected and predictable. There is no real thinking that happens here.

Level 3 : Aspiration
This is where an individual realizes that they want something more, something different from the herd behavior and results experienced by the majority of people.They aspire to be, do or have more in their life.This does not mean that they act on this idea, it is just the desire for something different.

Level 4 : Individual
This is the stage where an individual shrugs off the paradigms or habits of the group culture and decides to express his or her own unique approach , philosophy or preference. It takes courage to act out of the norm. It is to risk being ridiculed and laughed at. Being criticized for being different. The mass simply don't realize that they have accepted a certain paradigm and never ever questioned it. Here the individual Steps out and expresses his uniqueness

level 5 : Discipline
Discipline, here the individual becomes more serious about his pursuit of growth. He develops positive habits and a strong self discipline. He is improving his skills and adopts new growth startegies that he applies consistently. Now further separating himself from the mass of individuals who conform to group behaviour.

Level 6 : Experience
Gathering feedback data from his actions , trying out new strategies, he begins to see patterns of what works and which actions are not successful. He has accumulated experience through action, observation and feedback Here the person can fine tune his strategies and tactics.becoming more efficient in doing the right things in the right way every time.

Level 7 : Mastery
Mastery is self evident. This individual has completely distinguished him or herself from the crowd and the competition.He is widely regarded as an expert. People go to him for advice and people associate this person with excellence in what they do. Here the person has developed the faith and courage to do many things successfully. They have mastered themselves and their results.

Where are you on this chart? Are you still in the mass and conformity level or have you stepped out and gone against the status quo? Are you looking to grow more and develop your skills and discipline to achieve more in you life or business? Is there any area of your life you could improve?

I know there is something bigger that you want, Its just out of reach of where you are right now.
Maybe all you need is an objective assessment of what the gap is between what you know and what you do.
I can help you close this gap.
If that's the case I would be honoured to help you move to the next level.
