By definition, consciousness is the state or quality of awareness. It is what allows us to experience and react to the world.<\/p>\n<p>For decades, philosophers and scientists have been trying to solve the mind-body problem of consciousness. Conscious awareness is one of the most puzzling facets of the human brain.In the words of David Chalmer, <em>\u201cOur consciousness is a fundamental aspect of our existence, but at the same time it\u2019s the most mysterious phenomenon in the universe.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As human beings, we have the power to expand our consciousness. This means opening ourselves to new possibilities, <a href=\"http:\/\/projectlifemastery.com\/what-would-your-highest-self-do\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reconnecting with our inner selves<\/a>, and freeing ourselves from limiting beliefs that have been holding us back from happiness and fulfillment.<\/p>\n<p>Each of us moves through our own personal path to increased spiritual growth.

Egocentric<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The identity at the egocentric level is purely focused on the Self. When we are born, we are dependent on another human being for survival. Because of this, this identity does not notice other peoples\u2019 needs. At this level, growth requires acknowledging oneself in relation to others. If one doesn\u2019t make the next step, the result is a feeling of emptiness and lack of fulfillment.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Ethnocentric <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At this level, the identity expands to a feeling of empathy and connection with others close to them. Although this identity is more selfless in its nature, care for others doesn\u2019t expand beyond family and friends.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. World-centric <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At this level of consciousness, the identity cares about humanity at large, holding the belief that we are all the same. These types of people give back, because they are passionate about serving. These are the Mother Teresa\u2019s and Nelson Mandela\u2019s of the world. They know that if they want to evolve and grow, they have to <a href=\"http:\/\/projectlifemastery.com\/how-to-find-your-purpose-in-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">grow and give<\/a> to others.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Spirit-centric <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This level of consciousness moves beyond about mere humanity and experiences a sense of responsibility and empathy for all living things.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to know how you can expand your consciousness? Care more. That is why I love business. It is a spiritual practice. To truly succeed in business, you need to raise your consciousness. You need to put others\u2019 needs above your own.<\/p>\n<p>When you care about something greater than yourself, you expand who you are, because it\u2019s not about YOU anymore, Rather, it\u2019s about serving the greater good.<\/p>\n<p>For example, I have to take care of my mind and body, because I need to take into account my higher purpose, which is<a href=\"http:\/\/morningritualmastery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> life mastery<\/a>. I want to be a role model for others, so I need to be in alignment with my world-centric level of consciousness.<\/p>\n<p>My greatest quality that has allowed me to achieve so much success in my life is my desire to care for and give to others. I wake up every day and ask myself,<em> \u201cHow can I serve others and make a positive impact in the world?\u201d<\/em> In the words of Gary Zukav, <em>\u201cSpiritual growth requires the development of inner knowing. It requires the heart, not the intellect.\u201d<\/em> Drop our of your head and into your heart. Reconnect with your inner self and be open to life\u2019s possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>I challenge you to observe where your consciousness feels blocked or limited. The beauty of life is that, as human beings, we have the power to let go of disempowering beliefs at any moment, and replace them with more empowering ones. When you grow spiritually by expanding your consciousness, you raise your vibration, thereby awakening to a new, more fulfilled sense of reality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you want to learn how to create a morning ritual that will help you grow spiritually by expanding your consciousness? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.morningritualmastery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CLICK HERE <\/a>to join my course, Morning Ritual Mastery!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consciousness allows us to experience the world.
