Haven’t you had such moments, too when you realized something profound? When you solved an inner misunderstanding and freed yourself, realizing it was you who developed that misunderstanding and kept it alive? And didn’t you think: “Oh, my God, now I understand! Now, I am free of this burden for good. I can finally live my life and move on without this restriction.” We think, we finally got it – until we arrive at the next obstacle.

For a moment, a day, or maybe some weeks, we feel like nothing can stop us, and it actually is that way. We are filled with life and new energy and are motivated to the max. We think we can conquer the world and speed our development forward, believing we know everything. But right when this thought kicks in, the vessel becomes slower because we set limits to our development. Also, we may start looking down on others because we are so much smarter, having this life-changing insight. But it is a personal insight. Others may have never needed to discover what I discovered, and vice versa. Believing we know the secret makes us blind for more to discover… and the whole process starts again.

We never know how aware we already are. Of course, we develop and gain awareness whether we notice it or not, but since we can only judge our knowledge from our previous experience, we don’t know how much room to the top is left. Comparing us with others doesn’t help at all because awareness happens on so many different levels, and as I said, we all have different lessons to learn. While one may be in control of his life and another one struggles with addictions and financial problems, it does not say anything about the level of awareness of both, only that they are on different paths. The one with the more difficult path can be much higher in their consciousness as they are challenged to take that more difficult path – you never know!

I think none of us has complete awareness, and I don’t believe one is more aware than the other. We only have different approaches. I dare say that the majority who are incarnated now will not reach the highest level in this lifespan. It doesn’t even help to have a tool to measure the level of awareness. If we could, we, as humans, would only fall into another competition contest that again is a tool to learn that we need to distance ourselves from competition to grow our awareness. Falling into a competition may even be a sign that the lesson has not been learned yet or simply needs a follow-up lesson. I believe that the more awareness you gain, the less you feel the need to prove anything to anyone, not even to yourself, while the feeling of connection with everything and everyone grows. The difference is that the reason for that connection is love, not the ego.

So, we never know where we stand in our personal development. One thing is for sure: the journey goes on, and that makes this life so interesting. We can discover so many new aspects of this life and uncover so many misunderstandings that kept us from those discoveries. With every discovery and the empowering feeling that goes along, we can encourage others to keep their minds open and their curiosity high.

Let’s enjoy the journey – together!

In Love and Light
