Level of consciousness (scientific)

Esoteric wisdom (Level of consciousness (Esotericism)) has long recognized the existence of stages in the growth of personal consciousness. For instance, Kundalini yoga, describes seven levels of consciousness, each of which it calls a chakra. Recent scientific research as well has discovered the existence of several well-defined levels of human consciousness.

Hall's four levels of consciousness

Following the work of Maslow ^[1] and Kohlberg ^[2], Hall ^[3], in his extensive research on personal growth, found four well-defined levels of consciousness: security, social, rational, and mystic. Later, independently, and using different terminology, Beck and Cowen ^[4] also found these four levels.

Identical in all cultures, the four levels of consciousness are hierarchical in that each next level includes and transcends the ones before it. Hall further identified sixty-four personal needs (desires, priorities, values) that occur in all cultures as well. These sixty-four needs can be grouped in clusters that correlate precisely with the four levels of consciousness. Personal needs can be measured, affording an accurate determination of the level of consciousness a person has reached. Other areas of awareness that correlate with the four levels of consciousness include specific worldviews and broad categories of inquiry and skill development.

Individuals typically spend large amounts of time at each level of consciousness before moving on to the next. Many remain their whole lives at one particular level.

Enlightenment

Enlarging on Hall’s work Landré ^[5], in his study of the fourth, mystic level, describes one more level of consciousness: Enlightenment. Enlightenment, also known by such terms as Awakening and God-Realization (Enlightenment (spiritual)), (Self-realization), still occurs extremely rarely and is egoless. No personal needs remain in a person to whom Enlightenment has happened.

Level of consciousness	I. Security	II. Social	III. Rational	IV. Mystic	V. Enlightenment
Most trusted input	Instincts	Emotions	Factual observations	Intuition	Witness consciousness
Category of needs	Survival	Belonging/Duty	Self-esteem	Compassion	Egoless: no needs
Worldview	I cope in a hostile world	I belong in a problem world	I participate in a world project	I am part of a larger whole	I am
Major preoccupation	Am I safe?	Is the world as it should be?	Am I as I should be?	Spiritual seeking	No inquiry: here-and-now awareness only
Skill development	Instrumental	Interpersonal	Mental/Creative	Contemplative	N/A
