Three Stages of Spiritual Enlightenment

The basic target when people undertake spiritual practice is enlightenment. The culminating factor marked in the practices is when one by now reaches the spiritual enlightenment therefore they feel the unity of soul, leaving behind all physical and mental engagements and the rest. It's possessing highly evolved souls, and to share the kind of enlightenment that these spiritual masters experience they propagate it through the world.

For practical purposes, reaching spiritual enlightenment comes into levels. The spiritual masters evolve from the first to the third levels.

The 1st one is the animality levels to which many people are likely to degrade themselves. In this period, you experience and live the reality as any individuals might. You may continuously take part in ordinary activities like talking, gossiping, preparing the future, analyzing everything about us, and so on and so forth. You are the normal, normal person walking around just like everybody else.

You are experiencing just like everybody else is experiencing, although in this stage, you are already taking the cue to uplift the enlightenment of your soul towards a more meaningful existence. When spiritual enlightenment is considered, you are at a stage when you are taking just everything as presented but you are also undergoing an effort to detach worldly things from your existence.

In the 2nd level, you rise into humankind, to which now constitutes the very nature of the human individuals. In this stage, the person experiences a connection to every person all around them and even to every object surrounding them. The experience makes them like sacrificing their very own individuality; however, the culmination is taking its mark signaling that a merge is going on between their very own with the Supreme soul.

As you feel you are no more the person that you are and instead one with everything else around your environment, you are shutting in with the Supreme Soul as everything comes from Him. This is a good experience that you can undertake because enlightening of the soul starts to dawn with more promises to be a lot greater afterwards with the succeeding stage.

In the 3rd level is the divinity, in which now spiritual masters convene back and merge with the very source where humankind came from. In this point, you don't feel connected with everything around you anymore. And this is not a sense of disconnection, rather you're already understanding that you are that everything. This means the spiritual enlightenment takes its course up to provide you with the experience where unity with God is already culminating.

So after experiencing the humanity, the divinity makes you feel you are everything. Meaning, you are no longer your own body, mind, senses, and your intellect faculty. And in this stage, you are directly undertaking the divine experience, the attainment of God, which is the highest level that spiritual masters undergo.

When an individual experiences spiritual enlightenment, all luck is in them for it is that fruit that sets them free from the material needs, wishes, and desires. It does not only make you feel the whole bliss of being free but provides you with the experience that rarely is being carried out by everyone else.
