1.Confusion
The first stage of awakening. You are confused. You don’t know where to be. Your life is in shambles and nothing makes sense. Everything muddies up your mind. But You need to be hopeful, that the sun is shining brightly down the horizon.
2.Restlessness
You are impatient. You want it, and you want it now. You are at the edge of your tolerance level, and you want to vent your frustration. You want to achieve bliss without the burden of a meaningless existence haunting your past. But You are in a hurry. You don’t want to sit and understand. You want to burst through things like a juggernaut, not realizing the damage it would do to you. Relax. You will reap what you have sowed.
3.Epiphany
This is the trick. You are surrounded by a vast multitude of emotions that cloud your mind. Your previous thoughts which you had negated and neglected as superficial come back to the front of your mind, and you understand them, with even more clarity. The crushing burden is still present, but you are armed with new thoughts and a greater understanding of the world.
4.Push and Pull
You can’t rest now. You lose an inch; you have to get it back. It is a continuous struggle between giving in to the ever-encroaching darkness and winning over to the path of salvation. You need to pull, while the dark side pulls too. See to it, that you don’t give in to it. You have worked hard. Don’t lose.
5.Darkness
The darkness has surrounded you, but it will go away. You will be crushed under the negativity around you. The hopelessness, the feeling of being a worthless parasite feeding off the humanity of people, will go away. Remember, every cloud has a silver lining.
6.Connectedness
In this stage of awakening, you are in a higher realm of existence. You are connected to everything around you. You don’t want to let go. You don’t have to let go. Let your consciousness flow. Let it encompass everything.
7.Synchronicity
You are finally in sync. You have finally attained a balance with everything that is around you. You are calm, composed, even under duress, and you have realized true happiness comes from within.
yes, i do believe these are most steps, but who knows , would the enlightened tell us how to do it , since we are in the act of free will? that the truth needs to be to seeked in order to be found?
