The 5 Levels of Consciousness
Why You Might Only Be Living Two Levels Deep — and How to Wake Up
Most of us like to think we’re conscious.
We’re aware. We make decisions. We show up to our lives. We do the work.
But if you’ve ever felt like you’re repeating the same emotional patterns, making the same “mistakes,” or wondering why you react before you even realize what’s happening… you’re not broken.
You’re just living from the surface.
You see, true consciousness isn’t binary. It’s layered. And unless we’ve been taught otherwise, most of us are only operating from the first two levels — while powerful, purposeful parts of ourselves lie untapped beneath (and above) the surface.
In my work — and in my life — I teach what I call the 5 Levels of Consciousness. These levels map how we function, where our decisions come from, and how we access the next evolution of ourselves.
Let’s walk through them.
1. The Conscious Mind
This is the “you” you know.
It’s the part of your mind that’s alert, aware, and engaged. It’s the voice that says, “I need to send that email,” or “That comment hurt my feelings.”
It’s responsible for logic, analysis, and willpower.
But here’s the truth: it’s only a fraction of your mind’s power.
Your conscious mind is like the captain of the ship — but the crew, the engine room, and the tides? Those live far deeper.
2. The Preconscious
Think of this like your mental waiting room.
These are the things you know, but aren’t thinking about all the time — your phone number, the lyrics to that 90s song, your childhood friend’s birthday.
It’s accessible, but not active… until something calls it forward.
And while it seems harmless, this level often holds belief systems and memories that quietly shape how you see the world — without ever realizing you’re seeing through a filter.
3. The Unconscious
Now we’re getting into the real terrain.
This is where your patterns live.
Your automatic reactions.
Your wounds.
Your inherited beliefs.
Your deeply rooted programming — most of which you didn’t consciously choose.
Your unconscious mind is like the operating system beneath your apps.
If you’re reacting before you’re thinking — this is why.
Most of our lives are run from this level… until we learn how to bring it into awareness.
4. Quantum / Higher Consciousness
This is the space beyond logic — and it’s where things get magical.
Here, you connect to intuition.
To knowing without proof.
To energy, frequency, synchronicity — the patterns beneath the patterns.
You might feel it when you meet someone and instantly “know.”
When you think of a friend, and they text you.
When you walk into a room and can feel the energy shift before anyone speaks.
This level isn’t woo — it’s what happens when presence meets perception.
5. Mission Consciousness
This is the highest level — and the deepest.
It’s the part of you that remembers you came here for a reason.
Not to people-please. Not to achieve.
But to live on purpose.
At this level, your choices align with your soul.
Your work becomes your contribution.
Your leadership becomes legacy.
This is where you stop performing and start becoming.
So… Where Are You Living From?
There’s no hierarchy here — no gold stars for living at level five.
But there is incredible power in becoming aware of the level you’re currently operating from.
Are you reacting from unconscious patterns?
Are you stuck looping through preconscious beliefs?
Or are you learning to pause, breathe, and choose?
That choice — the one you make in real time — that’s how you begin to live consciously.
And the good news?
Consciousness expands with awareness.
And awareness can be trained.

This is just the beginning.
