How do our experiences in meditation and daily life evolve during the Siddha Maha journey? What phases can we recognize in our evolution? Which parts of our subtle body have the most activity in each phase? Swamiji has shared his insights on these questions through the Chart of Consciousness.
Before you dive in, we want to remind you that the process is not linear. Our level of consciousness fluctuates until it ultimately stabilizes in living liberation. Experiencing high consciousness at times and then finding ourselves at lower levels again is a natural part of the journey. However, this chart provides a general idea of our conscious evolution in the Siddha Maha process.
