We ‘know that we know, and that we can’
It is possible that this phase is, among all of them, the one we like the most. The phase represents that period where we are aware that we are moving, either slowly or quickly, towards what we want to do and achieve.
Unlike the previous phase, it is clear that at that moment, everything is being done (in our hands and conscience), and as best as possible, to arrive. Those old habits from the previous phase are also observed and identified, in which work is being done to transform them. You can notice the work time invested in it, without expectations of ‘magical achievements’ without first having put in the necessary effort and time.
During this period, certain questions or concerns may arise regarding the way of the journey. However, there will be no doubt or frustration in reaching the desired objective. This phase alone will require a certain level of flexibility in our approach and strategy to achieve what we want. Even so, although it may sound a little counter-intuitive, such flexibility in the how will not compromise the feeling that we know we are moving forward and that we can.
A caveat worth putting into perspective about this phase is the following. People can fall into the trap of excessive confidence, egocentrism, and mental closure due to being the stage in which we feel most secure and comfortable since we have already developed and/or achieved knowledge and personal power. Unfortunately, many who reach this phase remain stuck and trapped in this trap and, therefore, cannot overcome either the phase or their own personal level.
The key to not falling, or falling and getting out of this subtle lion’s den (trap) is to maintain an open and healthy mind consciously. The open and healthy mind recognizes that it knows and that it is achieving (what it desires) at that moment. However, it also recognizes that it does not know everything and, therefore, will have to learn something new at any time soon. In short, we could say that the qualities of truth and humility will provide the person with sufficient intelligence and wisdom to advance to the last phase of knowledge.
Questions to explore:
Have you seen if you have reached this stage?
Are you already, or have you fallen into the trap?
Have you already asked for or received help to advance from this phase?
