There are also other ways to raise personal consciousness.

4. MIGRATION

If one person forms an individual consciousness, then a group of people molds a collective consciousness. 

For example, a collective consciousness might belong to a small group of people such as a tribe, a sect, a club, a country, or to several countries, etc. Each of them has its own collective consciousness. And this consciousness varies from country to country.

There are 195 countries on Earth and some countries have lower consciousness than others.

Migrating from a country with a lower consciousness to a country with a higher consciousness will raise your consciousness.

Consequently, a person born in an environment with a lower consciousness (some African countries, part of the Asian continent, etc.) has a chance to raise his consciousness in countries with higher consciousness (Singapore, Australia, Western Europe, USA, etc.).

As a result, this method has some great advantages, such as low risk and achieving a higher level of consciousness in a relatively short time.

However, there are drawbacks, and the biggest of them is the limited level of the collective consciousness of the country into which the person emigrated.

5. CURIOSITY

You can raise your consciousness with the help of curiosity and the study of everything above physical reality.

As a result, the interest in the metaphysical, supernatural, channeled phenomenon, etc. creates an opportunity to eliminate ignorance. Therefore, you will move on to a deeper understanding of the spiritual realm.

For example, L. Strelnikova, L. Seklitova,  started interacting with a Subtle World of basic curiosity. However, during the 30 years of continuous channeling and hard work to understand the esoteric information, they enlarged their personal level of consciousness and published over 60 esoteric books.

This method is risk-free and fun, but it takes a long time.

6. PRAYERS

Prayers are a powerful tool for cleaning our thin shells.
As a result, it cleanses us and gives us a chance to rise above materialistic values.

Some people, moving away from the bustle of the crowd, became saints, spending a lot of time in prayers.  As a result of the purification, they raised their consciousness and gained access to the Subtle World during their physical life.

The biggest advantage of this method is low risk. On the other hand, it is a laborious way that also requires trust in the Higher Powers.

7. INVOCATIONS

Some of the channelers, such as Kim Michaels, provide a set of tools with invocations and degrees.

Invocations and degrees. look like a mixture of powerful prayers and affirmations that help boost individual and collective consciousness. I've heard about the positive change in the collective consciousness of one of the countries thanks to the invocations and degrees made by a large group of people.

The advantage of this methodology is low risk. On the other hand, it is time-consuming and requires trust in a channeler.

TO SUM UP

In conclusion, the Spiritual Choice toward Light is the most efficient way to raise consciousness, however,  it's the riskiest one. 

On the other hand, the best result will be obtained using all the methods in combination.

MAIN WAYS TO EVOLVE CONSCIOUSNESS

Like anything in the Universe, our Consciousness is a subject of Evolution and Devolution.

According to my observations, there are three main ways to evolve consciousness.

1. Personalized Answers & Questions

Always look for answers to your personal questions. The Internet, books, films, or people - all of these sources - are a great opportunity to find out your personal truth. Each answer to your question will increase the share of your wisdom and decrease the share of your ignorance.

However, this method has some disadvantages. Firstly, this is a long-term development; secondly, you must remain focused and you also need good luck.

2. Vipassana Meditation

About 2600 years ago, Gautama Buddha gave people the technique that we call Vipassana meditation today.

Gautama practiced various meditation techniques until he began the Vipassana - "to see things as they are." 

This meditation allows you to learn to control your mind and purify your inner repository - the subconscious.  As a result, a balanced mind and cleaned from impurities subconscious are the goals of this process.

Therefore, we can call Vipassana meditation a high-speed path because it allows you to get rid of the impurity in your subconscious in a relatively short period of time. For Gautama, for instance, it took only one day.

Summing up, the cleaner subconscious allows running through your life project lighter, with fewer errors and attachments. Therefore, the saved time and energy will go to the evolution of consciousness.

However, there are some disadvantages to this methodology as well. For instance, you have to regularly practice meditation; besides, there is physical pain from the long sits; moreover, there are some side effects.

3. Choice of Light

A Spiritual Choice towards Light is a shortcut to enlightenment and consequently full liberation from your reincarnation chain.

What is Spiritual Choice?

For example,  at a certain moment in life, one faces a situation of Spiritual Choice*. The spiritual choice is a test for an individual to define a further direction of movement – to Light or to Darkness. The principle of the choice is based on Free Will, which our Creator generously gave to an Individual. 

Most importantly, the right choice provides you with an upgrade of your Consciousness. The best reference to how Spiritual Choice affects a human is described in the fictional novel Redemption.

Sample

These three ways for the improvement of our consciousness can be compared by traveling by car. 

The first way (Questions & Answers) can be compared to traveling along a countryside road with a 40 km/hour speed limit, i.e. slow.

The second option (Vipassana) is as driving along a highway with a speed limit of 120 km/hour, i.e. faster. 

While the third option, the Choice of Light, is a shortcut. The shorter alternative route allows you to save time and gasoline, and as a result, to arrive at a destination much earlier than using two other methods.

The best result, however, is achieved by a combination of all three methods.

To be continued...

* Note: some people have no spiritual choice because they have already made a final choice of the direction toward Darkness and, as a result, have lost the ability to have free will.
