This publication consists of a series of short notes I previously posted on Facebook. It follows my earlier book “On the Way: Growth and Transcendence of Personal Consciousness”. On the Way describes the stages of mental development we grow through during our lives, whereas this work focuses more on the insights we acquire toward the end of life.
Let me first briefly repeat what On the Way was about. During our lives personal consciousness slowly grows through five distinct phases, each next one including and transcending the previous ones.

In the intuitive, fourth phase of consciousness we become spiritual seekers. Here our main focus is on the area of consciousness that lies beyond the mind. Identification is with our intuition. The predominant relationship is no longer with things, other people, or ourselves, but with a power we imagine to be larger than ourselves. We develop contemplative skills.
Consciousness in the fourth, intuitive phase has three aspects. We first identify with a Silent Witness of our thoughts and actions. Later we may enter what is known as Peace consciousness. Here the ego disappears from awareness and we identify with the totality of phenomenal manifestation. At the third aspect of intuitive consciousness the separation between self and the Divine disappears and only pure Subjectivity remains.
