The first stage of spiritual awareness is characterized by individuals being spiritually asleep, lacking true awareness and identifying strongly with their mind and body. This state is driven by the pursuit of external happiness, focusing on sensory pleasures while viewing unhappy experiences merely as obstacles. The second stage, known as Spiritual No Man's Land, represents a transitional phase filled with discomfort and challenges as individuals begin to lose their old identities without embracing a new one fully. Here, one experiences a shift in priorities, focusing on peace and contentment over worldly success, while grappling with fluctuating emotions and increasing realizations about their true nature. The third stage involves a profound reduction in personal identity, fostering humility and compassion. A mindset of knowing nothing prevails, leading to living from the heart rather than the head. This stage is characterized by a sense of trust in the unfolding of life itself, greatly diminishing resistance to experiences and, consequently, reducing suffering.
