That's all. Cheers!

This is an updated version of my "Dimensions of Consciousness" model.
There are 5 dimensions.
 
1: Illumination Dimension  I previously called it pure consciousness dimension. 
When people say "increase consciousness" they are basically saying "increase the illumination dimension of consciousness".
The higher your illumination dimension the more awake you are.
Illumination is about recognition and clarity of non-duality/awakening truths. 
It's not about mental clarity or conceptual recognition, but about actually becoming directly conscious of that awakening truth. It's about actual awakening. 
For an awakening It is not always enough to just increase the Illumination dimension. Sometimes it is also necessary to actively try to grasp/recognize something with your mind using contemplation.
Low Illumination dimension + contemplation = conceptual awakening 
High illumination dimension + contemplation = actual awakening
 
- Practices that target the illumination dimension:
psychedelics advanced lucid dreaming/OBEs To a lesser extend:
RASA or Light Transmissions (Ramaji, Gareth, Imogen,...) long dark room retreats advanced Invocations Intense concentration and jhanas self inquiry  To an even lesser extend: all other spiritual practices. 
 
 
2: Void Dimension  The void dimension is about form vs formlessness. The higher the void dimension, the more formless and spacious your consciousness becomes.
When you increase the void dimension high enough, you are in the Void, in complete formlessness: no body sensations and maybe not even thoughts.
In order to be conscious of Love, God and Infinity plus having a formless consciousness (=being in the Void), you need to increase both Illumination and void dimension.  
 
Very profound Oneness experiences usually need a high void dimension. Because the void dimension is very good in dissolving seperation/boundaries.
 
Lowering your brainwaves causes the void dimension to increase.
- Practices that target the void dimension by decreasing your brainwaves:
Sleep Yoga SAT transmissions trance, tiredness, sleep deprivation dark room retreat float tank And to a smaller extend:
kriya/kundalini yoga meditation physical exhaustion  being sick brainwave entrainment (binaural beats, Lumenate,...)  
- Practices that target the void dimension as well:
Psychedelics  OBEs Shamanic breathing  SAT transmissions  Long fasting And to a smaller extend:
Invocations  Weed and alcohol Shaktipat transmissions  These practices might increase the void dimension also through decreasing your brainwaves, or they increase the void dimension through a different way. Idk.
Anyways, it seems that these practices (for the most part) don't increase your tiredness.
What I want to say with all that, an increase in the void dimension doesn't necessarily correlate with an increase in tirednes. That means it is possible to have a high void dimension (thus a very formless consciousness) while working out in the gym or even while taking a cold shower.
 
3:  Intensity Dimension  In the past I basically included the intensity dimension in the void dimension.
The intensity dimension intensifies your recognition (of non-dual truths). But it doesn't increase your recognition (and state of consciousness)
It for example intensifies your awareness of: Love, God, no-self, not knowing, ...
- Example 1: not knowing
High illumination and low intensity: You recognize that you actually know nothing (except for what is in your direct experience right now) High illumination and high intensity: actual not knowing (for anything beyond your direct experiences). The scenario of what your memory tells you what happened 1 minutes ago is just as likely as the scenario that you were a frog on a different planet 1 minute ago and then shifted here with fake memories. - Example 2: Different love awakenings
High Illumination and low Intensity: you recognize that you are love in this moment. This love is not overwhelming.  High Illumination and high Intensity: you recognize that you are love in this moment. This love is very intense and overwhelming. You might be crying. Extremely high Illumination and low Intensity: you recognize that you and everything else is love. You have always been love. Existence is love, there is nothing but love. (So that is the increase in Illumination dimension). This love is not overwhelming (because of low intensity).  
- Correlation between Illumination and intensity dimension:
Sometimes the Illumination and intensity dimensions have a high correlation.
For example, pyschedelics tend to increase both Illumination dimension and intensity dimension proportionally.
But other practices, like for example light transmissions (and RASA), and self inquiry tend to increase the Illumination dimension and hardly affect the intensity dimension at all.
 
- Correlation between void and intensity dimension:
Increasing the void dimension seems to increase the intensity dimension too.
For example if you are conscious of Love, and then increase the void dimension, then the intensity dimension usually also increases proportionally.
That means, your state of consciousness becomes more formless (due to higher void) and the love recognition and immersion becomes more intense (higher intensity dimension).
But increasing the intensity dimension doesn't cause the void dimension to increase too. So it's possible to have a high intensity dimension and low void dimension. 
 
- Practices that target the intensity dimension:
Psychedelics  Advanced OBEs And all Illumination and void practices which can indirectly increase the intensity dimension   
 
 
4: Magnitude Dimension  The magnitude of consciousness in a human is far higher than in a mouse. And it is far higher in a god (astral entity like Zeus) than in a human.
- Practices that target the magnitude dimension:
Psychedelics Advanced OBEs And to a lesser extend:
Advanced invocations (I think that's the most realistic practice to increase your baseline magnitude dimension)  
 
5: Alertness Dimension  During deep sleep your alertness dimension is at cero. When you wake up and are conscious, you have a good degree of alertness. When you take a cold shower or drink coffee, your alertness dimension increases even more.
 
 
 
Sometimes there is a correlation between these dimensions, but from a broader perspective they can be independent of each other and any combination is possible.
 
Here are my posts of the older versions, they contain more details on some points:

There's more but those are some notable ones.

A hard-core spiritual seeker wants to become more and more awake. Eventually mahasamadhi happens, the physical body dies, the whole dream dissolves and you merge with Infinite Love/God.
But most people like the human life too. So they naturally combine the enlightened state and human state.
Relative to humans, enlightenment has benefits and downsides. And human consciousness too has its benefits and downsides. 
That means, the prefered state for most people is to leave out the downsides of both states and to take the benefits of both states and thus create a new state, the post awakening state. 
Pre awakening state: human consciousness  Awakening state: enlightened/god consciousness  Post awakening state: the best of both All enlightened people already live in a post awakening state, because it is impossible to survive in an awakened state without any human biases.
This post is about achieving a great post awakening state.
 
- Benefits of the Human State
Relative to most people's opinions, these are the benefits of human consciousness:
Identifying as a seperate self. Which is made of stuff like energy, personality, sense of self,... and has a body and mind control over body and thoughts  Free will Preferences  Enjoying duality (Relative to human consciousness all of that is real and true)
 
-  Benefits of the Enlightened State
You are Consciousness and independent of appearances.  Detachment Peace  Oneness Love and Bliss Understanding of Reality and wisdom   
 
- Reconciling the Identity of both States  
Here I wrote about the seperate self vs non-dual self:
The post awakening state is essentially a dual identity of both the seperate self (stage 2 in that post) and the enlightened self (stage 4) simultaneously. 
That means you are conscious that you are a seperate self and you can control and optimize that life.
And you are also conscious that the seperate self is an illusion and what you actually are is Consciousness/Emptiness/Love/God (,what you are relative to a high state of consciousness). And that you are in Oneness with everything. 
There are 2 kinds of no-self:
Being conscious how the seperate self is an illusion (that's the no-self awareness that is compatible with life post awakening) Actually dissolving the seperate self. The more you do it, the more difficult it will become to survive, and eventually that seperate self completely dissolves (at that point the physical body is dead).   
 
- How to attain a High Baseline Enlightened State
I conceptualize the enlightened state to have 2 main components, the void dimension and pure consciousness dimension:
Practices that are most powerful to increase your baseline pure consciousness dimension:
Self inquiry  RASA or light transmissions Psychedelics Intense energetic practices (transmissions, invocations , and to a lesser extend kriya yoga) Hard-core concentration A high pure consciousness dimension primarily results in wisdom, understanding, enlightened awareness,...
 
Practices that are most powerful to increase your baseline void dimension:
Practicing Sleep Yoga (=conscious during sleep) (and to a lesser extend trance practices too) SAT transmissions  Intense energetic practices (transmissions, invocations, kriya yoga) A high void dimension primarily results in peace, surrender, flow state, intensifying the enlightened state,...
 
And if you want to increase your baseline magnitude dimension then the only realistic practice is doing advanced invocations.
 
- How to not lose identity with the seperate self:
Realize that the identity of the seperate self is true relative to human consciousness  Realize that it is necessary to keep that identity in order to survive and enjoy life. See it as a game and pretend being a human Having a strong will Having a strong intention to maintain the seperate self and its preferences no matter what In case you are very serious then you can do the energetic practices in John Kreiter's Magnum Opus book. The seperate self is partly made of energy. The more energy the stronger that self (stronger in a way that it doesn't neccesarily contradict non-dual awareness), and these energetic practices increase the energy of the seperate self. Practicing all day awareness/presence can also strengthen the seperate self   
- Bias vs no Bias
In the enlightened state you have no biases. Relative to that state, this is good.
But relative to the human state this is bad. Because having no biases/preferences means that you for example don't care whether you die and whether people are murdered.
Pure enlightenment doesn't make humans more ethical, it actually makes them less ethical. In order to become more ethical you need to combine the enlightened state with the human state. To be ethical you need situational understanding and empathy, for that the human state is required. And the enlightened state can also contribute to making you a better person (awareness of Oneness, Love, no-self,...).
 
Also, when you are unbiased you also are no longer biased towards being unbiased, therefore you will eventually leave this unbiased state again. 
You are unbiased so you accept and love everything, all of Infinity, including hell realms.
Nirvana can end suffering temporarily, but it is not a permanent solution because eventually you start that whole cycle again and again.
The solution is to maintain your human biases/preferences. 
By maintaining your human preferences you are biased against the unbiased state and against bad things. 
That is foundational to ensure goodness for you and others.
 
 
- Love and Bliss
How to increase Love and Bliss
Love awakenings SHAKTIPAT Transmissions Reaching a full kundalini awakening (most effective for that are shaktipat transmissions. Next is kriya supreme fire and advanced invocations) Heart chakra meditation: putting your attention on your heart chakra, maybe also repeating the name of an ascended master (like Jesus, Anandamayi Ma,...) and maybe letting this heart chakra shaktipat audio play too Invocations of Ascended Masters Bhakti Yoga  Listening to energetically programmed audios like "Anahata" from the iawake website or "Vibration of Divine Love" from sapien medicine Listening to devotion music:         To increase your baseline love and bliss, shaktipat transmissions are by far the most powerful imo.
For some people it can take very long till these transmissions finally start working for real and their baseline bliss increases.
Just expose yourself as much as possible to that shakti energy.
Apart from joining live shaktipat transmissions (like from Gareth Duignam, Jan Esmann, Kai Shanti,..), I strongly recommend you let shaktipat audios play during as much of the day as possible as well as during sleep. Eventually it will start working.
For that I recommend Gareth's transmissions like this:
But you can listen to others too, like those from Kip Mazuy.
 
- Happiness
At post awakening you probably have some kind of detached attachment.
Attachment because you still have the human state and very much care about things. But it's different from pre-awakening, because you have the awareness and maturity and detachment skills from the enlightened state. therefore it is detached attachment. 
You are attached to things, but if you fully integrate the enlightened state as well, then your happiness doesn't (fully) depend on your attachments being fulfilled. 
So you get both, the unconditional happiness from the enlightened state (being happy independ of your life situation) and at the same time the conditional happiness from the human state (having your desires fulfilled).
 
- Combining Opposites
The way I see it, there are 2 main principles or energies in existence: the masculine and feminine. 
This is how I conceptualize of masculine vs feminine (in the context of this post):
active vs passive dominant vs submissive resisting vs accepting & allowing Projecting vs receiving  power & force vs surrender   attached vs detached in conflict vs in flow with "what is"  external vs internal order vs chaos yang vs yin illusonary vs non-dual ego vs Infinity mind vs soul Generally when there is a duality of this vs that, then most people are either at the middle or at one extreme.
This post awakening state is about combining these extremes.
The masculine of the human state, and the feminine of the enlightened state. 
Having 2 extremes at the same time usually results in conflict, but here we try to have both extremes in harmony.
 
 
 
 
I used to be a hard-core seeker and wanted to go deeper and deeper into the enlightened state, dissolve the human state and eventually do mahasamadhi. 
These are one of the reasons why I changed my attitude:
God Realisation dissolved all my seeking energy The realisation that everything is equally real and true. The enlightened state is not more real than the human state. The enlightened identity is true relative to the enlightened state of consciousness. And the human identity is true relative to the human state. No state is inherently better. It all depends on your preferences.  Whether you decide to keep biases or dissolve biases, both is a biased decision by the ego. You can't escape the paradox.  The realisation that the human state is just as real as the enlightened state also means that life matters and things are important relative to the human state Contemplating the implications of Infinity, like Infinite hell realms. Which resulted in a strong rejection and aversion towards unbiased Infinity  By being unbiased you accept and allow all of Infinity  Suffering and evil are not love. Suffering is suffering, evil is evil and love is love. (Suffering and evil are love relative to the enlightened state but not relative to the human state). As a result the desire to reduce suffering for myself and others became strong again
