10 Final Lessons on Earth
Introduction
Partly we are all here to learn. To learn lessons and acquire wisdom throughout our incarnations. To acquire and integrate insight, understanding and wisdom. Embodying a deeper understanding of one’s self; our Self; a deeper understanding of Life.
Integrating higher and deeper understanding, knowing and consciousness allows us to master ourselves, relationships, self-actualization and creation with greater ease, grace and mastery.
Today I’d love to discuss the lessons that we human souls ultimately collectively all share. This theory is based upon a unitary, multidimensional and tiered universe. This for example means that it states reincarnation as true and the case. The theory also implies that life, after our reincarnation cycles on earth, continues. The details of this model come directly from resources I studied with a coach. I resonated with this model, having found parallel streams of thinking in other philosophies I had read. I find this model extremely helpful, demystifying and enlightening in my own journey, so I decided to share a chunk from it. Take from it what resonates, leave the rest.
The 10 Lessons
This model of truth implies that there are 21 main stadia, divided into 3 main spheres. This gives us 7 stadia per sphere. One stadium relates to one main lesson. We ultimately all go through all 21 of them, starting with the first, labeled as lesson 1.1, graduating and finishing at the last lesson, which is labeled as 3.7. Knowing lessons in advance can help you with avoiding the pitfalls of the lesson, and ascending through your life with more proficiency and less struggle, although awareness, contemplation and consciousness are required for this. Knowing the lesson alone is not enough, we have to live it. Integrity and honesty are required here.
The 7 lessons of the first sphere are highly tribal in nature, with the fear of survival at its core.
The 7 lessons of the second sphere are highly individual, with the fear of losing control at its core.
The 7 lessons of the third sphere are highly interpersonal and collective, with the fear of rejection at its core.
The fact that you’re reading this is an indicator that you’re most likely in the second sphere, and the lessons I will be sharing here will be the final 10 stadia of the 21 stadia, therefore the title ‘The 10 Last Lessons on Earth’. We will start at 2.5 all the way to 3.7. Some will be touched in more detail, but you will be aware of the core of each stadium by the end of this article. Without further ado, let’s dive straight in.
Lesson 1 AKA 2.5: Prioritizing & Letting go of Desires
In this stadium, you learn to differentiate between what is truly important for you and those things that are no longer important to you. What is worth perfecting? You learn to differentiate the essential from side issues. You become aware of what is truly important to you, and you strive for perfection in these things. You learn to ascend and receive insight by detaching and letting go. You constantly find yourself in situations in which you can choose to detach from people, things, habits, roles and activities because they are no longer important or meaningful to you. You learn to detach from the superfluous and the superficial. Learn to not immediately fulfill all your desires, but to let time pass over them, that’s how you find out if it’s indeed an authentic desire worth pursuing. You learn that not every desire needs or needs to remain to be fulfilled. You prioritize main desires from less important desires and keep the ones that are worth pursuing. You don’t let go of your most authentic and deepest desires. Learn to differentiate them based on your intuitive, spiritual and sacral perception. The realization you don’t need to chase all your desires comes with a great wave of peace and liberation. That’s the power of detachment. You learn the joy and value of detachment, changing the way you live and perceive. You enjoy what is more, not what you want there to be. The fulfilling of your real desires also doesn’t have to happen now, you learn to allow time to pass over them. You learn to no longer be dominated by your ego, your desires and your greed. You evolve from having to being, returning to the essence of existing without endlessly and blindly chasing all your desires. What is worth making an effort for? By choosing to detach from certain desires, you create a more liberated lifestyle, no longer being bound to desire and matter.
The negative manifestation and pitfall of 2.5:
Not contemplating on what is important for you. Chasing superficial things. Detaching and saying no to important desires. Feeling overly guilty when you’ve chosen to fulfill a desire.
Lesson 2 AKA 2.6:
Discerning rationality, emotion, spirituality and intuition
Discerning rationality, emotion and intuition. Life constantly presents situations in which you have to deal with emotional awareness, rationality, magic, spirituality and common sense. Accepting and making peace with the world around you. Looking for new insights, and not being scared to dive deep. Know your intentions and motivations. The searching of psychological, spiritual, metaphysical, religious and esoteric insights that support your experiences. The research of and experiencing with rationality, intuition, magic and spirituality. You want to know if life on earth can be influenced by using your soul or spirit. Is there a spiritual dimension? Is it possible to make contact with it? How? What is the importance of body awareness? How is the body related to our emotions? What role do emotions play in spirituality and creation? What is channeling? Is there life after death? Is it possible to influence your body using your soul power? Can you change your fate or lifecycle? To what degree can we impact and manifest our life? What is the power of thinking? Does visualization help? Can matter or substances influence our spirit? What is white and black magic? This stadium comes with the realization that joy is not dependant on the external world or your desires.
The negative manifestation of 2.6:
Not discerning between emotion, rationality, spirituality and intuition. Not searching, learning from and integrating new, higher and deeper philosophies. Being certain, stubborn and close-minded.
Lesson 3 aka: 2.7: Letting go of the urge to prove yourself
You constantly land in all sorts of situations in which you need to learn to deal with authority. Try not to prove yourself and don’t seek external recognition or validation. You’ve acquired and created a special philosophy and form of personal authority, but you don’t have to prove it. You learn that what is true for you, may not (yet) be true for someone else. You learn that it’s not necessary to prove yourself in order to achieve what you want, need and are. You keep your ego and your urge to prove yourself in check. Others don’t have to approve of your status, nor admire your accomplishments. You only have to recognize yourself. Because of this, it’s important to consciously deal with self-love and self-worth. Without enough validation, recognition and love for yourself, you will keep fishing for the approval, validation and recognition of others, which keeps you circling in patterns of trying to prove yourself. The realization that others cannot magnify your self-worth; on the contrary. You allow others to do it their own way. You enjoy your accomplishments. Learn to trust your soul intuition without the need to prove yourself. We learn that our position is not dependant on what others think of us. We know we are able to care for ourselves. We learn to let go of the urge to prove ourselves and find a balance between ourselves and the other. It’s enough to act from our own insights and use our talents.
The negative manifestation and pitfall of 2.7:
Seeking external validation, recognition and approval for how good, right important, special, wise, beautiful, intelligent or … (fill in the blank) we are. Developing roles, strategies and ways of asserting ourselves in order to gain the validation, recognition and approval of others.
ENTERING THE THIRD SPHERE: COLLECTIVE LESSONS
People who have evolved into the third sphere therefore do not yet have the life of a prince. Only when they behave consciously can they enjoy the insights they have already gained. Even in the third sphere, nothing happens by itself. You will always have to make the effort to remain aware. Being aware is the key.
In the third sphere, you learn to play Life. In the first sphere you are often a victim of circumstances, in the second sphere you are torn apart by the contradictions you experience, but in the third sphere you realize that you must not let yourself be carried away by your own judgment or the judgment of someone else. After all, you realize that a judgment always depends on the position taken.
You base yourself on reality. If you don't pass judgment, you see both sides of the coin simultaneously. You see the relative of each point of view, so you look for a position that cancels the polarity. A third sphere sees its own point of view, but at the same time it also senses the point of view of the others. You realize that on earth you can't help but live your life. It doesn't matter which choice you make, every choice is valuable. You can learn from every situation. You learn how to do it or you learn how not to do it. It is a game that can never be lost. You play to win, but if you lose it doesn't matter because it doesn't change your life. You learn that it is not just about yourself or about the others, but about the totality.
Lesson 4 aka: 3.1: Synergy and Cooperation
Life constantly presents you with all sorts of situations in which you can use the help of others or in which others offer you help. Stimulate synergy and cooperation; both physically with others and spiritually. In the first stage of the third sphere, you make an effort to move your environment towards voluntary cooperation. If that doesn't work, a 3.1 has no problem with that either. He respects the choice of another. Then he kindly continues with what he is doing. True cooperation is only possible when the choice is made completely freely. He extends his hand, whether the other grabs it or not, he doesn't make his offer depend on the others.
Lesson 5 AKA: 3.2: Sharing
Fate constantly presents you with all kinds of situations in which I can share my achievements with my environment. Realize that I can multiply by sharing.
In the second stage it goes one step further. This is not only about cooperation, but the achievements in all areas are also shared with the others. A 3.2 is not obligated to share, he does so voluntarily when he sees it appropriate. This is when he feels that the others treat the shared with respect. A 3.2 can share easily because he feels that everything is there when he needs it. He gives out a sense of abundance because he knows that provided he remains conscious, everything will be fine. A 3.2 realizes that love can only be given if it is shared and that he promotes unity by sharing his achievements. He also doesn't want to force anyone to accept his love, so he respects another's choice. He only shares his love and achievements with those who are open to it. In addition to sharing, sharing in communication is also very important. By communicating what is on your mind, your thoughts, your expectations, your fears and your feelings, you really make the other a part of your life.
Lesson 6 AKA: 3.3: Sexuality
Life constantly presents you with all kinds of situations in which I have to deal with sexuality and intimacy. Recognize the importance of sexuality, but also understand its relative importance.
In this stage you learn to experience sexuality, not to lose yourself in it. You realize that sex is also just a means of getting others interested in you. You see its relative. You want to enjoy sexuality, but you also realize that it is a physical desire that has nothing to do with love. Although sharing your body with someone else can be an intense expression of love, sharing food with someone else is also a form of love. There is an oriental form of sexuality called tantra in which physicality is connected with love, but in which the emphasis is mainly on the spiritual dimension of sexuality. In 3.3 you learn what dissolving in unity in sex is and you learn to let go off instinctive sex. You learn that sexuality can be a gateway to temporary, total unity. You also learn the three functions of sex. In the first place, it is a pleasant de-stressing method in which you can relieve yourself of too much tension. De-stressing is a natural way to release your tensions and bring your body back into balance. Strictly speaking, you don't need a partner for that. So masturbation can be as spiritual as having sex with a partner. Masturbation is denounced and viewed as taboo because it seems so selfish and useless, but it's quite useful as it can really de-stress yourself. Second, you can make your love tangible with it. Third, it is a way of ensuring reproduction. So in 3.3 you will redefine your vision of sexuality.
Lesson 7 AKA: 3.4: Understanding
Fate constantly presents you with all kinds of situations where my understanding is called upon. Show understanding and find out what motivations underlie the actions of myself and others. Seek to create a balance between showing understanding between yourself and the other. What is the relationship between you and the other?
Lesson 8 AKA: 3.5: Accepting Spirituality
Life constantly presents me with all sorts of situations in which you have to act wisely. Strive for insight and dare to fully trust your intuition.
Lesson 9 AKA: 3.6: Living Passionately
Fate constantly presents you with all kinds of situations in which you must act with determination. Live with heart and soul. Learn the importance of total surrender.
THE FINAL LESSON 10 AKA: 3.7: Loving Unconditionally
Fate constantly presents you with all kinds of situations in which I must be fully aware in order to love unconditionally.
Conclusion
Again, we ultimately all go through all 21 of these lessons, starting with the first graduating at the very last lesson: unconditional love. Most of us are learning many of these lessons through each other. Remember, partly we are all here to learn. To learn lessons and acquire soul wisdom throughout our incarnations is one of the main reasons we are here, but note that ultimately all these lessons aim to improve ourselves, maximizing our capacity to serve and love; allowing us the capacity to truly create our heaven on earth. To be optimally us.
To give you an idea in regards to time how long it takes to learn these lessons, well, some of us take thousands of lifetimes to go through all of the 21 lessons. Some take hundreds of lifetimes to master one of the 21 lessons. But then again, it’s not impossible to a complete an entire sphere (7 lessons) in one lifetime with the right amount of awareness, discernement and determination. Some learn with more efficiency, and some learn slower.
Being aware of these fundamental lessons, e.g. the lesson of letting go of the urge of proving oneself, can save you years of your life acting out inauthentic, non-efficient and draining behavior, drastically improving the quality of your life and the degree in which you self-actualize and create wholeness, satisfaction and mastery in your life.
