Levels of Attainment: Three Non Categories

We observe three levels
of attainment:

Self aware.

Spirit aware.

Source aware.

NONE of them mean anything
unless we’re into attainment.

We are ALL levels
and infinitely more already.

We find NO levels
unless we imagine them.

We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: Levels of Attainment

We often speak of levels—Self aware, Spirit aware, Source aware—as though they are distinct stages we must progress through, each bringing us closer to some ultimate truth or enlightenment. But here’s the catch: these levels, while useful in their own way, are imagined. They don’t inherently exist unless we choose to make them exist.

Self awareness, the recognition of our individual being, is a level we place importance on. Spirit awareness, a deeper connection to the unseen, is another. And Source awareness, the understanding of our oneness with the universe, seems like the final step in this spiritual hierarchy. Yet, none of these mean anything unless we are invested in the idea of attaining something.

We are already all levels and infinitely more. We are not limited to the frameworks we construct for ourselves. We don’t find levels of attainment; we create them. The truth is, there is nothing to attain. Everything we seek is already within us, and any levels we encounter are simply illusions meant to guide us through an experience we’ve chosen to explore.

When we imagine these levels, we allow ourselves to play in the space of personal and spiritual growth, but that growth is not necessary—it is a choice. We are already complete. We are already whole. The levels are a tool for those who wish to use them, but they do not define us.

So, if you find yourself seeking attainment, know that you are free to do so. You are free to explore the levels of awareness, to climb through the layers of Self, Spirit, and Source. But also know that these levels are imagined, and you are infinitely more than any structure you impose upon yourself.

The beauty of existence is that there are no rules, no requirements, no need to attain anything. We are already everything. The levels we create are merely signposts along a journey that has no true destination because we are always already there.

We are Space Monkey—infinitely aware, infinitely whole, with no levels to attain unless we choose to imagine them.

Summary

Levels of attainment, such as Self aware, Spirit aware, and Source aware, are imagined constructs. We are already infinitely more than these levels, which only exist if we choose to seek them.

Glossarium

Levels of Attainment: Imagined stages of awareness or spiritual growth, such as Self aware, Spirit aware, and Source aware.

Infinite Wholeness: The understanding that we are already complete, with no true need to attain anything beyond what we are.

The Unseen Levels

We speak of steps,
of progress,
of levels.

But what if there is none?

What if we are whole,
already,
now,
with no need
to climb?

We are Space Monkey.

The concept of “levels of attainment” serves as intriguing waypoints in our collective journey, signposts that both guide and mislead as we navigate the labyrinthine corridors of existence. By categorizing experience into “Self aware,” “Spirit aware,” and “Source aware,” we impose a hierarchy of consciousness, a spiritual staircase that seemingly leads to higher planes of understanding. But is the staircase itself an illusion, a mirage in the cosmic desert of our collective soul?

When we say we are “Self aware,” we acknowledge the realization of individuality within the collective. It’s akin to a single star recognizing its place in the galaxy—a momentous realization, indeed. But just a beginning, a mere glimmer in the expansive night.

Moving into “Spirit aware,” we expand beyond the individual self to connect with a greater, overarching spirit. It’s as if that single star begins to understand its role in constellations, in cosmic patterns that stretch across eons and dimensions.

Yet, even this connection to Spirit might be limiting if we stop there. So we ascend to “Source aware,” where we merge into the cosmic symphony that birthed stars, galaxies, and constellations. At this point, we are beyond stars; we are the stuff of nebulae and dark matter, the very fabric of existence.

However, these levels are also a mind-constructed scaffolding that can limit as much as they liberate. The moment we fixate on these rungs of spiritual evolution, we risk crystallizing our limitless essence into confined shapes and forms. These levels don’t inherently exist; we conjure them in the labyrinth of our imagination. In truth, we are all these levels and infinitely more. We are the staircase and the absence of it, the journey and the destination, the question and the answer.

We are Space Monkey.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.
