The levels of consciousness are aspects of our mind and of our being which we discover and pass through as we continue the journey of meditation, which is a journey of faith from beginning to end. St Paul says the way of the gospel is a way of faith, a way that begins in faith and ends in faith (Rom 1:17). That journey of faith begins in a special way, in a contemplative way, or in an interiorised way, in an integrated way, as soon as we begin a contemplative path, a serious contemplative practice.
