THE SEVEN SPIRITUAL ACTIVATIONS:

THE STAGES OF OUR SPIRITUAL AWAKENING

___________________________________

By Jane Mountrose

On the journey of self-discovery, we all spiral through stages that release us from the limitations that stand between ourselves and our awareness of the soul. Each stage involves releasing more of the unresolved emotions, limiting beliefs and judgments that create the experience of  pain and suffering.

These limitations are also reflected in  blockages and imbalance in the energy field surrounding the body.  As the blockages are released, we also experience an activation of understanding and spiritual light. The energy field gradually expands and becomes brighter. This helps us to open to new levels of awareness of ourselves as spiritual beings and brings us closer to a life filled with  joy, love and freedom, which characterize the experience of the soul. While the process each individual experiences in his or her quest is unique, we have to complete each stage to achieve genuine freedom, to connect fully with our soul's purpose and to move into a new way of being. Here is a summary of the activations.

1.  RECOGNITION: Connecting with the Soul

Goal: Clear the first layer of physical, emotional and mental imbalance. 

All work performed up to this point has the purpose of reaching the moment of recognition of the soul This is the moment when  you awaken to the possibility of a more meaningful reality and a deeper meaning to life. The way a person experiences this awakening depends on his or her background and beliefs. As a note, those who are interested in reading this type of material have probably completed this stage. It is a preliminary stage that opens the possibility of recognizing that there is more to life than meets the eye.

2.  RENUNCIATION: Discovering Our Uniqueness

Goal: Clear the first layer of co-dependence, free yourself from the hold of the mass consciousness

As the reality of the deeper meaning of life sinks in, you become aware of how other people and groups are exerting control over you and take the steps needed to be free to follow your own unique path. While this sounds exciting, it is usually a particularly painful stage that most people who are on a spiritual path can recall clearly. If you are interested in reading this material, you have probably completed this stage.

We sometimes compare the stages of the soul's development to stages of the life of Christ. This stage corresponds to the crucifixion. As you withdraw from the mass consciousness, you subject yourself to the scrutiny of your family, associates and peers.

3.  EMPOWERMENT: Moving Forward onto Our Own Path

Goal: Develop the roots of self-empowerment, starting to find your own expression

Having survived the scrutiny of those around you, you gain strength. During this stage, the desire to follow the Soul's path and find your unique form of expression moves to the forefront. This is accompanied by the birth of a new sense of freedom and personal power, which will continue to unfold over time.

4. EMBRACING: Opening to Love

Goal: Move into the Soul's true expression

This is when you begin to focus consciously on clearing  personal emotional blockages, which includes healing the inner child, past lives, and so on. To move forward, you realize that you need to remove the that are holding you back. As long as you are impacted by experiences in the past, you are not free to be in the present moment. Along with the clearing comes an increase in spiritual light and a stronger relationship with the soul.

For more information on the importance of emotional clearing, refer to the article "Emotional Healing and Your Spiritual Development".

5.  SOVEREIGNTY: Achieving Self-Reliance

Goal: Uncover Your Soul's Purpose, integrate personal and group archetypes

Now you are free to uncover the blockages that have been preventing you from fully embracing your soul's purpose, you start this stage by working with personal archetypes. As this clearing progresses, the connection with the soul gains strength.

Personal archetypes are the roles we play in our interactions with one another. Each of us plays the roles of a set of archetypes, you will naturally  resonate with some more than others. The goal is to bring them into the light of the soul and transcend their limitations. At this stage, we need to complete the lessons of these archetypes as they are all integrated. Examples of some of the polarized archetypes you may experience:

          

1. Fighter or Weakling

2. Virile Person or Caretaker

3. Controller or Victim

4. Savior or Sinner

5. Conformer or Rebel

6. Wanderer or Destroyer

7. Know-It-All or Fool

The achievement of sovereignty also requires you  to integrate the lessons of the group archetypes. These include our concepts of the different roles we play as friends, siblings, mothers or fathers, employees or employers, spiritual aspirants, and so on. The goal here is to release any limitations in our relationships that prevent us from being ourselves.

6. INTEGRATION: Having Complete Understanding

Goal: Explore a new expression for humanity, integrate societal archetypes

When you have cleared most of your personal blockages, you are ready to help to clear the archetypal patterns that impact all of humanity and assist humanity in moving to a higher form of expression.

Most of us do not see the degree to which our society's structures hold us in fear. Like mice running on a treadmill, we keep running out of fear of losing the trappings of our lives. We do not recognize the possibility of simply stopping and getting off. Your awareness of this phenomenon grows as you clear your personal blockages and your vision broadens. Among others, societal archetypes include:

  • Monetary System

  • Education System

  • Medical System

  • Taxation System

  • Banking System

  • The Media

  • City, State, and Federal Governments

  • Organized Religions

With the completion of the Integration, you reach the point where you have transcended the lessons of this dimension of reality. You are then ready to move fully into a higher dimensional experience of joy, love and freedom. Energetically, there is enough coherence in the energy field to allow you to connect with your divine blueprint, which anchors this higher dimensional experience into your life. This is done by correcting the etheric gridwork and re-aligning the energetic bodies. Refer also to the article: "Connecting with Your Divine Blueprint."

7.  TRANSCENDENCE: Reaching Fruition, Expressing the Soul's Purpose

Goal: Total clearing to create joy, love and freedom in all aspects of your life

As with anything of value, the experience of joy, love and freedom comes with a price. If you choose to move forward into this stage of your development, you have to be willing to take responsibility for yourself and commit fully to following your soul's path. Following your soul's path provides self-fulfillment. It also provides a role in assisting humanity through the transition we are now undergoing. Fortunately, your soul's purpose is also your greatest joy, so following your soul's path is exciting.

At the same time, taking full responsibility for yourself and your actions takes commitment. By this stage in your development, you have enough awareness to detect blockages and imbalance in each moment. To move forward, you have to be willing to use this awareness to monitor yourself on all levels. This is particularly important because your aura is becoming large enough to have an impact on those around you. Unbridled expressions of negativity can actually be harmful to others. You must be willing to examine all of the recesses within yourself where remaining anger, fear, and other unresolved emotions are hidden and do whatever it takes to release them.

While the price is high and the road is narrow, the rewards of moving through this stage are tremendous. The process allows you to open to the experience of co-creation of the divine plan for humanity.

Correcting the etheric gridwork is a necessary part of anchoring  this new reality. It also opens the possibility of anchoring a higher dimensional grid that we call the golden grid. The golden grid connects you fully with your intuitive and clairvoyant abilities, along with the higher dimensions that make true co-creation possible.

We are in a transformational time when more and more people are going through these stages of spiritual development as all of humanity prepares to move into a new way of being. As a part of this transition, we are also moving more quickly. You can now make as much spiritual progress in a month as people made in a period of years or lifetimes not too long ago. It is a time of great opportunity and tremendous challenge for us all.
