Humans have also looked at sex and its  consequences as a form of responsibility.  Take the institution of marriage, for example.  It was created to give shelter and long-term  protection to the mother and the offspring  once man and woman cohabited and produced  a child from the union. Traditionally, a man’s  job was to provide food, clothing, and shelter  not only to his wife but also to the children  they birthed together, till the offspring became  self-reliant. Marriage also promotes a sense of  commitment and responsibility towards one’s  partner and family, leading to a more cohesive  and functional society. 

Technological development and its  impact on marriage 

However, many aspects that were true for  marriage once upon a time have changed as a  result of technological growth. Women today  are not as dependent on men for their survival.  They can earn their bread and have the option  of living in a secure apartment building with  adequate legal protection to ensure their  physical safety. They might not feel compelled  to marry in order to have babies or get  physical protection. Artificial insemination,  egg freezing, and test-tube babies are the new

realities. A woman can typically assume all  the roles that have historically been played  by men. This change has even affected how  humans relate to sex. 

The availability of contraceptives and the  freedom to marry or not have made people  more experimental with sex and relationships.  Sex is now seen as a means of enjoyment and  self-gratification rather than a process to beget  progeny. 

The rise of dating sites such as Tinder and  Bumble has normalised the hook-up culture  which is based on short-term relationships  lasting only a weekend or a few weeks.  

Stage 2: Getting to the right people/situations

This stage could be a bit tricky because most of us do not know what it entails to get to the right person/situation, which can lead us to the final stage of the expanding consciousness. To make it very simple—we just need to be correctly aligned with the Universal Life Energy.

What is Universal Life Energy? There is a consciousness that animates and connects all life. Some call it ‘Universal Life Energy’ or ‘Unity Consciousness’.

Now, the next question is: How do we align with the Universal Life Energy?

When we raise our vibration and increase our energy sensitivity, a natural flow of the moment can be perceived as a sense of 'rightness'. When we follow this flow, we move into alignment with the Universe, and life feels increasingly harmonious. We feel successful, fulfilled, and abundant.

For this to happen, we need to be physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually on the correct path. We all understand when we are standing on the 'wrong' side of life and still do not have the willingness to cross the fence and come over to the ‘right’ path. Be it as simple as eating right, behaving right, having kindness for others, helping each other grow with a truthful spirit, or trying to reduce negative traits progressively throughout life.

If your awareness about yourself is sustained over a consistent period and you make sure to ‘align with the Universal Life Energy’, then it’s a given that you are heading towards the right people/situations meant to be on your path, to elevate you to the spiritual dimension by expanding consciousness.

Here again, please bear in mind that the people/situations won’t always be of the pleasing types; often, they would be challenging the status quo of your life. For example, you might lose either a prized possession or a close relationship. The ‘best job’ as defined by you might just slip out of your hand mysteriously or you might find yourself very lonely in life, on the verge of insanity. This is the time to realise that you are the chosen one!

Stage 3: Being ready to absorb the Universal messages and, finally, to expand consciousness

You would have an innate desire to have a spiritual experience. Along with this, you would encounter people/situations who challenge the status quo of your life. However, if you do not have the courage to walk on that path in the spiritual dimension, you would narrowly miss experiencing the life where the symphony of harmony plays. Unknowingly, you might not be able to persist with stage 2 described above and show signs of withdrawing back to the materialistic plane because that is always the easiest option all along this journey of expanding consciousness.

The trick is to sustain full awareness of what is happening within you and not get daunted by the experiences that challenge you and get lured by the idea of withdrawing into the materialistic plane. Rather, keep moving along; it might pull you out of your comfort zone but you already know that what lies on the other side is much more marvellous and grand. So, keeping the goal in mind, try and dance in the symphony of ‘challenges’ thrown at you. The ‘rising up’ after so-called ‘defeats’ on this journey will re-energise you for a longer time and will keep you going far beyond what you had originally set out for.

The most important thing to realise here is that you are the chosen one to have reached the final stage for expanding consciousness. Because of this, you are not going to let it slip out of your hand at the ultimate stage. The Universal messages might just flow into you anytime and you must be able to receive them in full.

You might get an altogether different meaning to your life. You no more feel like drifting in life. Also, you have the most suited profession for yourself which aligns with your life-path. The new relationships are sparkling and making you shine in life. Abundance is just flowing in from sources that you never imagined. Does it sound too good to be true? But don’t you see how much you have laboured for this? And you truly deserve it because YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE!

Some mindful actions required:

• Practice meditation consistently and regularly

• Avoid being in negative energy zones (people/ situations)

• Align completely with the Universal energy (no wrongdoing)

• Be yourself, increasingly, every day (throw away the masks)

• Keep the company of people who are true to themselves

YOU HAVE FINALLY EXPANDED CONSCIOUSNESS AND ARE LIVING A LIFE WHICH CAN BE CALLED ‘SYMPHONY OF HARMONY’
