The life process as such is the receipt by living beings of new information and energy as a result of their constant contact with the outside world. A huge number of different forms of life that are in endless space, at each new turn of the spiral of development, acquire new energy-informational knowledge, strengthening in its connection with the space-time environment. Such an algorithm for the accumulation of experience in the process of development is also characteristic of the human race.
In the world around a person, there is an endless variety of very different life forms. A person perceives everything around him with the help of the senses (sometimes reinforced with special devices) - both living microorganisms and various energy sources, which from the human's position seem to be inanimate.
Thus, people from epoch to epoch accumulate knowledge about terrestrial and near-terrestrial inhabitants and ongoing processes. Each new stage brings something new to the treasury of human knowledge and ideas.
Let's say that at present, specialists are engaged in a detailed study of viruses, about which nothing was known until recently. This does not mean that there were no viruses themselves, just with the awareness of their presence in our life, they were included in the structure of human ideas.
The situation with oil developed similarly to the previous example. Having discovered this energetic substance for itself, mankind began to study it in detail in order to benefit from the discovery made.
That is, the scheme is identical: first, a person seeks to realize a phenomenon of reality that is new to himself, and, having realized, he calls on the intellect (individual and collective) for a comprehensive study and deep analysis of the conscious phenomenon.
Therefore, we can conclude that human intelligence is a tool for knowing what has already been perceived by our consciousness. Further cognition is impossible without awareness.
Thus, the only way to expand energy-informational knowledge is to be aware of the surrounding world, that is, to constantly expand the boundaries of human consciousness. Oriented to what is happening around, human consciousness strives to perceive new phenomena and objects, thereby continuously developing, expanding its own structure. According to the same principle, the consciousness of other life forms expands in the space around us.

The system of the modern technogenic world also strives to cognize the Reality surrounding a person all the time. Of course, methods of cognition of this kind are limited to the creation of improved models of technical devices and various devices, which act as if additional human "sense organs". A microscope and a telescope are additional "eyes" of a person, sound-detecting systems are his additional "ears", and so on.
The fundamental scientific knowledge of our time is also developing uncharted areas of the surrounding world. Sometimes the intelligent image models created by scientists help to discover something new in those areas, the true observation of which is still impossible.
A striking example of such modeling is the table of chemical elements of D. I. Mendeleev, because many elements in it were first predicted by the great scientist, and only then were discovered in reality. Of course, such predictive models appear due to the development and formation of human intelligence.
However, often, mastering the real world with the help of intellect, fundamental and applied scientific knowledge, humanity forgets about such an important factor as the level of utility and safety. And first of all - safety for the surrounding world, because what poses a potential threat to the surrounding reality will be dangerous for us.
Unfortunately, it often happens that scientific discoveries turn into an end in itself, and no one tries to foresee the possible consequences of such discoveries. And this approach often leads to disaster. The clearest example of this is the invention of nuclear weapons.
It turns out that together with the comprehension of reality and really great discoveries, humanity acquires a huge number of serious problems that threaten its own existence and the harmony of the surrounding world.
And it is at this time that it is necessary, using the capabilities of our developed intellect, to begin the search for other ways of mastering reality. Indeed, over the course of many centuries, many people have pointed out to us that a person himself is fraught with truly limitless abilities of knowledge and improvement, developing which it is possible to do without technogenic methods of knowledge, thereby making the process of mastering the world much safer and more harmonious.
Cognition of the world begins with knowing yourself, your own capabilities and the boundaries of your consciousness. The most authoritative ancient philosophies and religious teachings point out to a person that, having chosen the path of self-knowledge for himself, he will make great discoveries with every step and come closer to comprehending the great mystery of the essence of man.
And right now, at the present stage of development of human civilization, it is really necessary to embark on this path of knowledge and awareness.
On the one hand, in order to save humanity from the great catastrophes that threaten it, created by its own deeds.
On the other hand, right now, when over the centuries the human intellect has acquired extraordinary flexibility and reached a higher level of development, it will be able to become a powerful and extremely effective ally in understanding oneself and the world through cognition of one's own essence.
STAGES OF EXPANSION OF CONSCIOUSNESS (according to S. Kolesha)
And if we consider consciousness and its expansion as a stepwise process of ascent from the limited desires of the personality to the conscious desires dictated by the personality by the soul, then the following classification seems appropriate:
1st stage - I want - instinctive impulses and lust with desire for desire. Corresponds to popular culture and undeveloped consciousness / ignorance. Popular culture is a cult of squalor, as a distant deity (light), its shelter through the cultivation of false / distorted values.
Stage 2 - I Know What I Want - Intellectual motives driven by ambitious and ambitious aspirations. Awakening of individual consciousness.
3rd stage - I see, imagine, feel what I want - aspirations based on intuition, revealing the consciousness of the soul, which is just awakening.
4th stage - I clearly understand and realize what I want, thanks to the illumined consciousness of the soul and intuitive straight-knowledge (5 senses + the mind, which form consciousness).
5th step - I, inspired by knowledge, create, create, help and evolve. Personal desire gives way to a group consciousness of oneness with all that exists.
6th step - I am free from any restrictions and feel unity in diversity, perceiving Divine / Universal Consciousness with the least distortion.
EFFECTS OF EXPANDING CONSCIOUSNESS
Expansion of consciousness is not a one-time process. This is a state of eternal change, which assumes certain effects accompanying this change.
In other words, the expansion of consciousness is the mastery of a certain degree of one's own power, which contains the ability:
- To accumulate and use information about yourself and your environment to effectively solve any life problems.
- To include in careful consideration and subsequent management of more and more life habits and mental states (emotions, feelings, reactions, thoughts, motives, response patterns and behavior).
- Strengthening and developing will and self-discipline.
- Understanding of the role of serving oneself and serving people with increasing dedication and help to others.
- The ubiquitous spread of the Law of Love, as bringing Good, Non-Harm and respect for Free Will / Free Choice of other people.
- Constant, conscious response to evolutionary revelation, more and more comprehending the Laws of Reasonable Infinity.
As the occult truth testifies: “The stages of expansion of consciousness are the result of transmitted learning; they lead a person step by step until he reaches contact with his higher “I”, his Teacher, his egoic group (author - a group of “kindred” souls corresponding to one Ray on the subtle plane), the First Initiator, the Single Supreme Initiator, until he touches the Deity of his Ray and enters the bosom of his “Heavenly Father”. (A. A. Bailey. Letters on Occult Meditation.)
“The ability of consciousness to expand outward and become part of a whole, fully aware of this whole in a wonderfully spiritual way, is a gift from God to all. In doing so, no one loses a single share of what is already his property, and no one takes anything from anyone, thus sharing the glory of God.” - Saint Germain.
So let your individual consciousness, opening like a flower under the sun's rays of the rising sun, go through all the natural phases of flowering, feeling harmony, unity and integrity in its unique diversity with each new day.
As in the lines of Mirra Richard: “The result of creation is a detailed expansion of consciousness. When the vision of the whole and the vision of all the details merge into one in active consciousness, creation will achieve its progressive perfection.” - Satprem. Mother's Agenda.
“Expand and contract your consciousness in order to feel not only the necessary inner sphere of being, but also the Universe expanding outward, and you will find how your consciousness leaps into the arms of the Eternal Alchemist.
Take possession of your consciousness, correctly directing its attention and thus master the key to the invaluable storehouse of the eternal substance of God. (Saint Germain. Course in Alchemy.)
