Today we discuss the “Nine Stages of Transformation” or spiritual awakening as defined by author Penny Peirce from her book Frequency. We ask, how many of you are experiencing these stages?
-
Spirit Merges with Body, Emotions, and Mind
The physical world is responding to an influx of high-frequency “cosmic” energy, and as this more spiritual dimension drops “down” in frequency and begins to permeate your world, you stir and respond, stretching “up” in frequency, yearning for the mystery. You experience thinning boundaries between heaven and earth, lightening you up, accelerating your perception, and giving you the sensation of something important waiting behind a curtain. A process of interpenetration begins, coming in gradually intensifying waves.

The Frequency of Life Increases in Every Way, Everywhere
As the spiritual frequency penetrates the physical world, which includes both the planet and your own body, it also saturates your mind and emotions. Your body revs to adapt to the higher vibration, which initially disturbs your comfort level. High-frequency energy activates both positive and negative emotions, which makes you more aware of them.
Your heart may pound. You may experience waves of internal heat. Your feelings are more hyper and you may experience dramatic highs, lows, and erratic emotional releases. You can become overly sensitive and electrical, and feel like you’re under pressure that never lets up.
-
The Personal and Collective Subconscious Mind Empties
As the vibratory rate of your emotions and body increases, subconscious blocks, which are low frequency, fear-based emotions, can no longer remain suppressed. They respond like popcorn to heat, exploding up from their hiding places into your conscious mind. As they do, repressed memories surface and personal dramas and traumas occur. You face shame, grief. terror, hatred, and the dark corners of your psyche.
You must decide to undertake the hero’s journey through the underworld, to penetrate into the subconscious and find understanding. As the subconscious opens like Pandora’s Box, you notice increased dualistic, either-or thinking. You notice many polarities and the attached beliefs and emotions. You learn how much will power it takes to keep opposites separate, since the accelerated energy wants to connect them so they flow into, and turn into, each other.
There is increases argumentativeness, name-calling, us-vs.-them scenarios, and condemnation. Relationships, especially those based on lack of honesty and communication, have trouble, reach impasses, and break apart. Many old debilitating patterns can be recognized and released, with a positive attitude.
-
You Retrench, Refortify, Resist, and Resuppress
Just as it looks like you might heal your emotional wounds once and for all, your ego – the aspect of your mind that’s rooted in fear and self-protection – steps in and screams, “I’m not ready to die!” It fights for preservation of the old difficult-but-familiar ways and vehemently avoids letting go and trusting. You plunge into survival behaviors – either fighting or fleeing – the ingenuity of which is staggering. Eventually, this exhausts you.
-
Old Structures Break Down and Dissolve
As we let go and experience ego death, at a personal and societal level, many people panic, thinking this is the end of the world. What’s really happening is that the way you identify yourself is changing from a limited self to a very expanded one. If you act in an isolating, self-protective, controlling, or attacking way, these methods create instant negative repercussions.
As you clear your fear-based past, many things you thought were important and ways you made life meaningful become useless, even boring, and you let them go. Old methods fail to produce results. Old habits die and old institutions become hamstrung and collapse. As old forms dissolve, you might experience disillusionment. You may have little certainty left about who you are, what you can rely on, or why you’re here. You might have fuzzy boundaries and be open to invasion—by germs, parasites, allergens, dominating friends, thieves, terrorists, and nonphysical entities.

You Stop, Let Go, and Relax into Your Truest Self
You stop fighting and struggling. Nothing’s working. You may be sucked entirely into the present moment away from your controlling ego, can’t make yourself do the things that used to work so well, and experience the first real sense of your soul’s vibration. There is simplicity, spaciousness, quiet, freedom, and peace. You’ve reached “the end of progress.” Doing more is not the answer. Now you may have very little motivation, feel like you’re in limbo, crave time in nature or by yourself. Or question everything you’ve done so far and your goals, as they no longer seem to fit or be interesting.
This is a time of ripening where you saturate with the frequency of your soul and receive clear yet subtle signals directly from your core. You recognize the last remnants of what’s untrue about your life and determine to disengage from participating inauthentically in the world. It may be obvious that you don’t fit well with the rest of society and you must resist the pressure from others to revert to familiar habits. Now it’s just a matter of practicing the new habit of staying in your home frequency, and managing the level of your energy and awareness.

You Re-emerge into the World Like the Phoenix
-After the big turning point in phase 6, there are no more disruptive effects to your energy and awareness. It’s all “up” from here. Part of identifying with your soul’s vibration is that your perception shifts from old self to new, and life behaves differently. Now you don’t need to use will power to make life work – you see it’s already working perfectly.
You understand that you’re interconnected with everyone and everything in a mutually supportive state and that life helps you do and have whatever you need. You become interested in self-fulfillment and self-responsibility, are “full of yourself” in the best sense, and want to do something innovative that comes from the co creation of your body, mind, and soul. Everything is easier and you are discovering the new “frequency principles” of the way the new world works.

Relationship, Family, and Group Experience Is Revolutionized
Now, you feel how intimately individual and collective consciousness interpenetrate each other and know yourself as both a personal self (me) and a collective self (us). You feel how you and others affect each others’ lives. This makes you want to be responsible for your actions and thoughts as a way to be kind to others. You see similarities between people and can hold differences as interesting and valuable. You work cooperatively from a feeling of fellowship and kinship.
This has a profound effect on your sense of abundance and provision, empowering you to be more imaginative, creative, and productive because you know you have help and you know others need your help. You are authentically yourself. without having to struggle, and at the same time you can work with the merged group mind in any team to arrive at more complex, complete, high-frequency answers, innovations, and joyful social experiences.

Enlightenment Is Grounded into Every Bit of Matter
With inspired collaboration and co creation comes shared wisdom and unbounded appreciation. Love is truly understood as the force of nature consistent throughout the cosmos, capable of miraculous things. Personally, you take positive steps to act on your destiny impulses and find childlike joy in achieving results based on the soul’s wisdom. When you’re in the moment, in the heart, in the body, and connected to all knowledge, energy, resources, and collaborators, you understand the power of the unified field to help you materialize your visions.
Life isn’t just fast; it’s instantaneous, yet you don’t feel pressured. You know how to work calmly with the natural filtering system of the present moment and the lens of your conscious mind and body. Your body is much lighter and more transparent and you know the experience of heaven-on-earth.
