Other ways to measure stages of enlightenment?

[Brandon Nankivell]

I found Leo's ten ox-herding pictures video. Great stuff.

I've found Hawkins maps of consciousness to be helpful too.

Are there any other ways you've used that have helped you gauge where you're at on your spiritual path?

Time

 

Self knowledge
Myers Briggs
Hexaco
Patrick Bet David Questionnaire
63 Linkedin questions

Also how good is your mind/body/soul.

But yeah that PvF chart is AMAZING, I consider enlightenment to actually have gone through all of them

It's funny I JUST asked this question the other day on Quora:

How do you personally define enlightenment and who do you consider enlightened? - Quora

To quote Eckhart Tolle, there is one certain way to measure progress. The degree of peace that you feel.

I like this definition because it reminds us what is important, while simultaneously not giving us complex mental model to get lost in.

There is of course value to models produced by those like Hawkins, but at the end of the day what you really want is to be in alignment with God. And peace is the surest indicator of that alignment.

@Brandon Nankivell Of course don’t forget Ramaji’s scale. He wrote a book called ‘1000’, and he numbered a huge amount of spiritual teachers. Very important model.
