The purpose of this model is to illustrate the associations and interactions between some of the more prominent aspects that make up Human Consciousness. It has been developed to fit around a Spinning Top figure, which provides the most suitable form and symmetry to define and describe these relationships.
In terms of value, this model simply offers a visual representation of the processes that exist in developing deeper levels of Awareness. It makes no claims other than that and it should not be considered of any greater value than that.
For a brief discussion on the usefulness and validity of models please refer to the post, A Discussion About Models.
Model Composition
First off, the Spinning Top Model is made up of layers which correspond to the anatomic layers of the Human Being, as described in the post, Anatomy Of The Human Being.
The associated image above shows the structure and arrangement of these layers, with the Physical Body being represented by the Outer most ring and the Vertical axis representing Singularity. While the other Bodies and Consciousness layers are proportionately arranged in between.
The fully formed model as presented in the above image describes an Individual whose Awareness has reach the state of Singularity, as the Spinning Top figure is shown to be complete and balanced.
Whereas, an Awareness level that has yet to reach this point, will be represented by an incomplete disk that is disconnected from the central axis.
Aspects Of The Model
A list of key aspects of Human Consciousness are presented below, with their depictions on the Spinning Top Model being shown in the corresponding image.
- Awareness – Outward looking Inner face. It can also be considered a permeable membrane.
- Understanding – Both side faces of the Knowing volume. This references the capacity to Understand Truth, it does not mean “understanding everything”. Dualistic in Nature.
- Clarity – The Angular Sweep of the two faces of Understanding about the Singularity axis.
- Knowing – The volume created by Awareness and Understanding. This references the capacity to Know Truth, it does not mean “knowing everything”.
- Singularity – Vertical axis. Singularity is actually just the Origin Point, but as it expresses, the Dualistic framework is formed. Upward from the Horizontal plane is Positive. Downward from the Horizontal plane is Negative.
- Separation from Singularity – Horizontal axis. This is the separation of Awareness from Singularity.
- Space/Time Arena – Horizontal plane.
- Sub-Awareness – Phantom Zone or Shadow Self. Generally referred to as the “sub-conscious”, but this term is inaccurate.
- Energy Flow – Corresponds to the Vertical height of the Knowing volume. Dualistic in Nature, symmetrical about the Horizontal mid-plane.
How The Model Works
- The Awareness plane or membrane is somewhat permeable, so the Inner Conflicts that make up Sub-Awareness or the Phantom Zone will infuse through into the Awareness membrane. Especially as more and more pressure builds within the Sub-Awareness volume.
- As these Inner Conflicts are presented to Awareness via this permeation process and are dealt with in a manner that resolves those Conflicts, see the post The Creative Solution Explored, the resolutions that manifest themselves culminate in greater Understanding. This Understanding then transitions into and increases the Knowing volume. In doing so, the Awareness face moves deeper, filling the void left behind it by the resolved Conflict. While the Understanding faces symmetrically sweep further around the Singularity axis, thus increasing Clarity.
- These changes cause both the Awareness face and the Understanding faces to increase in surface area, at least at the initial levels of the model. The Awareness face begins to decrease in surface area as that face progresses through the steeper portions of the Spinning Top form. This demonstrates the initial broadening of Awareness at the early stages, followed by a greater potency to Awareness as it approaches Singularity and becomes anchored in the moment.
- The rise in Vertical height of the Knowing volume equates to an increase in Energy Flow, with the Vertical change being symmetrical in both directions about the mid-plane. This symmetrical growth is similar to the way a tree needs to develop deep roots to be able to grow tall.
- These transitions all move into the space referred to as the Phantom Zone or the Sub-Awareness.
- If this process is allowed to continue, the Awareness face will journey through all the Bodies and states of Consciousness and culminate in a merger with the Singularity axis.
Model Transitions
Progression and development of the Spinning Top Model, as Awareness transitions toward Singularity, is laid out in the above image and a description for this process is as follows,
- No Awareness – At the absolute edge of the Outer ring is the state of No Awareness. Here there is no Awareness, no Understanding, no Clarity, no Knowing and there is no Energy Flow. Here, there is Nothing.
- Physical Body – Expression of the Physical Body gives birth to some level of Awareness, Understanding, Clarity, Knowing and Energy Flow. Energy Flow increases moderately for a given movement of Awareness toward the centre, as demonstrated by the shallow slope of the Spinning Top form in this region.
- Emotional Body – As the Awareness face moves deeper there is progression into the Emotional Body, this comes with a greater spread in Understanding and Clarity, thus an increase in Knowing.
- Psychological Body – At the Psychological Body stage there is a further increase in all the correlating aspects, as Awareness proceeds closer to Singularity.
- Heart Centre – This area sees a significant increase in Energy Flow for a given transition of Awareness toward the centre. The experience of greater Intensity when resistance from Conflicts eventuates, is the by-product.
- Soul Consciousness – The steepness and height of the Spinning Top form in this vicinity indicates the drastic increase in Energy Flow for a relatively small shift in Awareness. As a result, very high levels of Intensity are experienced when engaging Inner Conflicts through this area.
- Universal Consciousness – Break through. At this point, Energy Flow levels are high but very little to no resistance from Inner Conflicts is encountered, as complete resolution is near.
- Singularity – Wholeness has been achieved and every aspect of Consciousness asymptotes toward Infinity. With the limiting factor being the Psycho-Biological Organism itself and its capacity to sustain.
An important point to note here is that as Awareness transitions through all the Bodies and states of Consciousness, each of these expressions are not full developed until Awareness completes its progress to Singularity itself.
Transitions of Awareness from a Body or state of Consciousness occur when the preceding levels develop to the point of being able to support the next level above. The foundation simply needs to be sufficiently suitable; a base threshold need only be met.
To emphasise again, full expression and development of all the Bodies and states of Consciousness is not experienced until Singularity is reached.

Bring Awareness to the Inner Conflict…,
Face and Allow the Intensity…,
A Resolution Will Come.
