Anatomy of the Spirit, by Caroline Myss

By request. She "synthesizes the ancient wisdom of three spiritual traditions-the Hindu chakras, the Christian sacraments, and the Kabbalah's Tree of Life-to demonstrate the seven stages through which everyone must pass in the search for higher consciousness and spiritual maturity" -- goodreads.

tamas, rajas, sattva

Request: I’ve been reading the Gita and I think it would be interesting to know where these line up on the map of consciousness.

Priority request. Refers to the idea that "the highest self-esteem wins," even if it is ego boosted.

T/F: on the path of nonduality, the partnership is an obstacle

Is the spiritual journey best taken solo or in tandem?

each level of consciousness is capped by "If I let that go, I won't be me"

Priority request: Doc describes how each LOC is being capped by a fear by a sense of losing who I am, my identity, my sense of self. That sense of losing myself is to be let go of over and over again at each LOC. (starts at minute 8:50 in the video).

"The world is a means and not an end"

Request: Attributed to Dr. David R. Hawkins.

T/F: people are fundamentally good

How should we think of people?

level: consciousness is quantum in nature

Request: Quantum physics suggests that everything in the physical world can be broken down into discrete quanta, of which any further division is impossible... [e.g. a string's vibration] can only exist in either the fundamental frequency, or a discrete harmonic of that fundamental.
