The communion with the Atlantic
Rainforest through the vibrational essences leads us into
a journey without return through the infinite staircase of
consciousness and self-knowledge. This enormous staircase
encompasses various stages of the awakening process. Each
stage is made up of eight steps, which represent eight levels
of evolution. Let us imagine that each challenge or hidden
potential that needs to be developed represents a part of
this spiral staircase and that for our progress it becomes
necessary to question us about eight important points. Below
is a flat representation of the levels of evolution with their
essences.
It might be useful and enlightening
to try and answer a few questions related to each of the eight
levels of evolution.

Vital Experience |

Through these I become aware
that life is an opportunity to be lived.

I stopped in time and also stopped living?

useless weights that I carry throughout my life? How
do I see myself facing such a challenge? Am I not limiting
myself, seeing myself perhaps smaller than I really
am? Do I feel sorry for myself? How do I balance reason
and emotions? Did such a challenge come up as a result
of me creating my own barriers, and being afraid of
facing it and of expanding my own potential?
