Listen in as I discuss the self-view as one aspect of the consciousness calibrations on the Map of Spiritual Progress. Understand your perception of yourself so that you can make changes if needed.
I will put the levels of consciousness of varying self-views into context from low to high.
So before you read further, I ask that you consider the question:
What’s your self-perception or how you view yourself in general?
Now don’t judge yourself if it’s not how you want to view yourself. Recognize that you are coming into the awareness that your self-perception does matter (in consciousness) as it will attract things into your life that will support that self-perception whether it’s positive or negative.
Be aware that we are all a mixed bag of consciousness on a wide variety of topics. Our “mixed bag” creates our own unique level of consciousness, self-view, God view, and world view.
Also, be aware that every level of consciousness is what would be considered an “Impersonal Attractor” field or energy field. Whatever “energy field” or level of consciousness that you give your attention to will attract more “like” energies to it (you). In other words, “like attracts like.”
So…be careful what you “wish” for! What is held in mind tends to manifest whether that is something you want or don’t want. Folks of the Law of Attraction have been speaking of this for decades. Consciousness research is finding the same truth from understanding levels of consciousness perspectives.
What we’re becoming aware of is that focusing your attention on negatively oriented “attractor fields” brings you more of that negatively oriented field of experience!
Oops!
I didn’t realize that!?!
So now that we have the Map of Spiritual Progress and scientific direction regarding the different levels of consciousness, we can begin to realign our intentions in life for what we want and who we want to be.
Realigning your self-concept can create a ripple effect in your consciousness and assist you in setting the course and foundation for a better life.

So, above, I asked you to answer, “What is your self-perception or view of yourself?”
Did you, like me, have a second take on what first came to mind? I noticed that my self-perception was negatively oriented. As I caught myself having this self-perception, I realized I didn’t consciously feel this way.
Unfortunately, what’s running unconsciously can affect the quality of your life and your health!
So let’s take a look at the Map of Conscioousness® as it realtes to your self-perception or as the map calls it, self-view.
Any consciousness calibrations below 200 on the Map of Consciousness® [9] (MOC) are considered lower levels of consciousness. These levels are harmful aspect-oriented, downward pulling, and destructive. There is no “energy” in the lower levels of consciousness or “attractor fields” to create what you want in life: health, happy relationships, a job you enjoy, financial prosperity, etc.
If you realize that your self-perception is of a lower level of consciousness, you may want to change it and reorient your self-concept to one that is positively oriented. (Higher levels of consciousness calibrations of self-perception follow this list.)
Lower Levels of Consciousness [9] :
*To put all of this into context, accrording to consciousness research, only 15% of the planet calibrates at 200 or above on the MOC and 50% of the United States.
Any consciousness calibrations at 200 or above are higher levels of consciousness, meaning they are positive aspect-oriented, upward pulling, and constructive. The “energy” to create is available at higher levels of consciousness. How much energy do you need to create a happy, loving, fulfilling life? Look to the higher levels of consciousness and align yourself with levels you know you can reach right now.
You are likely of a higher level of consciousness on some topic. Intend to be of a higher level of consciousness about your own self-perception. To learn to love yourself is of a very high level of consciousness. With this in mind, take a look at the…
Higher Levels of Consciousness [9] :
**According to consciousness research, only 4/10ths of 1% of the planet’s population calibrate at 540 or above on the MOC.
THE MAP OF CONSCIOUSNESS® [9] is a logarithmic scale. Each point on the map is a log 10. So, 10 on the MOC is 10 to the 10th power, 200 on the MOC is 10 to the 200th power. The power becomes exponentially quantum as you go up the MOC.

The relationship you have with yourself sets the tone for all of the relationships you have with others.
If that relationship is not characterized by balance, compassion, and acceptance, then you’re not set up to be the best partner, parent, colleague, or friend that you can be.

Understanding oneself is a fascinating and intricate journey that involves different yet interconnected concepts like self-concept, self-perception, and self-awareness. Let’s delve into what makes each of these uniquely important and how they influence our understanding of ourselves.
Self-Concept
Self-concept is quite the umbrella term, enveloping the entire spectrum of how we view ourselves. It’s our answer to the deep and existential question, “Who am I?” This comprehensive perception includes our physical, emotional, social, and spiritual selves. Self-concept combines how we see ourselves with our thoughts, habits, skills, hobbies, strengths, and weaknesses[1]. It’s a holistic view that embodies our identity and tends to evolve with our experiences and knowledge. For instance, knowing you’re a skilled writer and valuing that trait forms part of your self-concept[2].
Self-Perception
Now, if self-concept is the big picture, self-perception is more like a focused snapshot. Self-perception is the image we construct about our traits and the judgments we pass on them. This includes two core processes: self-concept (the picture in our heads) and self-esteem (how we evaluate these traits)[3]—self-perception zeroes in on specific characteristics and assessments, influenced by our introspections and external feedback. For example, believing you’re a caring person based on your interactions with friends is rooted in your self-perception[4].
Self-Awareness
Self-awareness takes the introspection to another level. It’s the conscious knowledge of one’s character, feelings, and desires. According to psychologists Shelley Duval and Robert Wicklund, self-awareness focuses on oneself to ensure alignment with personal standards[5]. Highly self-aware people can objectively evaluate their actions, manage emotions, and understand how others perceive them. This nuanced awareness allows for better decision-making, more straightforward communication, and improved personal and social interactions[6]. For example, recognizing that you’re anxious and understanding what’s causing this anxiety showcases self-awareness[7].
Comparative Insights
While these concepts are interrelated, each holds a distinct place in self-understanding:
Think of self-concept as the full autobiography of your life, self-perception as key highlighted paragraphs, and self-awareness as the magnifying glass revealing the deeper meanings behind the highlighted sections. Together, they form a comprehensive toolkit for navigating personal growth and social interactions.
In conclusion, by developing a robust self-concept, honing keen self-perception, and practicing deep self-awareness, we equip ourselves with the tools to understand better who we are, how we are perceived, and how we can grow.
This triad enhances our self-understanding and positively impacts our engagement with the world around us.
So here’s to the enlightening journey of discovering every facet of ourselves! 🌟

All calibrations are based on Dr. David R. Hawkins decades of research into consciousness, and the Map of Consciousness that came from this research, so as to put into context where true, constructive power really exists and where it doesn’t.
The Map of Consciousness is a logarithmic scale of 0-1,000, where 100 on the Map of Consciousness is 10 to the 100th power, 200 is 10 to the 200th power, etc. The higher you go up on the Map of Consciousness, the more quantum in nature the power level comes.
Any calibration below 200 holds no truth and no power and is destructive in nature.
TRUE POWER begins at 200 on the Map of Consciousness (10 to the 200th power) and it is the level of COURAGE. In order to turn around anything that’s negatively oriented in your life, you need to step into courage on the matter in order to do so.
