Estination and Home of Consciousness
We are often mistaken in thinking that level of understanding is equivalent to level of consciousness. Just because you read the bible and understand its messages, or read the Buddhist Sutra and can interpret its teachings, does not mean that your consciousness is on par with that of Jesus or Buddha. Then, on what basis can you evaluate a person’s level of consciousness? More importantly, how can you measure the progress of your own level of consciousness?
There are two general standards for evaluating level of consciousness in Doctor Ilchi Lee’s point of view. The first is your purpose in life. What do you live tor? Two people might do the same work for the same company; yet their purpose in life may be totally different. Second is the home of your consciousness. This refers to the equilibrium of your consciousness. It is the level to which your consciousness most readily returns to rest. As you can see from the diagram, the range of consciousness for three people may be the same, but the home (equilibrium point) of their consciousness is different.
Once you have chosen the new “you,” then you must begin to act and behave in a manner that befits your newly chosen self and its corresponding level of consciousness. With continuous effort, you will be able to move the equilibrium point of your consciousness to a new level, making it your new home.
