I have a concept I want to share with you. Think of it as a simple outline to change the world.
Wake Up, Grow Up, Clean Up, Show Up.
I first heard about this concept through a company called iAwake. They create sound-based tools for meditation. Their mission is about helping the world to heal, wake up and evolve.
To heal the self is to heal the world, and the work we do on ourselves is the work we do on the world.
Wake Up, Grow Up, Clean Up, Show Up.
When you wake up, you start to awaken to your deeper purpose.
When you grow up, you start to expand your consciousness. You start to realize who and what you are at the deepest level.
When you clean up, you start to embrace all of who you are, the light and the dark. And as daunting as this may sound, it is simply impossible to avoid this work if you want to see change in the world.
This work is the ultimate act of courage. You are basically making the unconscious conscious, and are getting comfortable with being uncomfortable.
Without cleaning up, we will still have unconscious aspects that will haunt us, cause us suffering, and be projected on to others and the world in unhealthy and hurtful ways.
And finally, when you show up, you start living your deeper purpose everyday. Here, your unique gift is expressed and shared with the world.
And that is how we change the world.
Wake Up, Grow Up, Clean Up, Show Up.
Changing the world is about taking responsibility for yourself and your life. It’s about becoming fully engaged. The process of waking up, growing up, cleaning up and showing up is a continuous one, and it does not end. It is a commitment that you make to this world.
The furthest reaches of human development are available to you. We live in a world of infinite possibilities. And life is truly a self-fulfilling prophecy. The only limits in your life are the limits that you place on yourself.
A psychiatrist, Dr. David Hawkins, created a Map of Consciousness. This map has 17 levels ranging from shame to enlightenment. This first eight levels are known as the levels of falsehood, and the top nine are known as the levels of truth. Which level are you vibrating at?
The levels are: Shame, Guilt, Apathy, Grief, Fear, Desire, Anger, Pride, Courage, Neutral, Willingness, Acceptance, Reason, Love, Joy, Peace and Enlightenment.
While we can pop in and out of different levels at various times, there is usually a predominant level that we vibrate at.
Apparently, 85% of the world’s population is vibrating below the critical level of courage. This is level nine out of seventeen. 85% is below this critical level. Are you vibrating with the top 15%? I know I’m not.
I personally am still moving through a period of self-awareness and self-discovery in pursuit of self-mastery. Sure, part of my life is calibrating at a higher level of consciousness while other parts are calibrating at lower levels. It’s the overall average that determines one’s consciousness.
Yes, I’ve woken up, and I continue to grow up and clean up. This is daunting and challenging work.
The work we do on our level of consciousness is really the only game in town worth playing.
If you have any interest in this concept at all, and in applying it to your life, chances are you’re close to the level of courage because if you were at a lower level you’d likely have no conscious interest in personal development. An increase from any one level to a higher level will result in enormous change in your life.
Wake Up, Grow Up, Clean Up, Show Up. Do this, and you will change the world.
When you are able to start consciously living your deeper purpose everyday, and this is a purpose that shakes your heart and stirs your soul, you will be living everyday with excitement, energy and passion. You’ll be showing up!
When you have a purpose and you are living true to it, life is filled with meaning and happiness each day. This journey is your birthright. It is why you were born. What is your deeper purpose?
Awake human beings are beginning to form. These exemplars of human potential are radiating their light. Let’s join them.
