What level are you on?

“ No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it”

                                 Albert Einstein

According to Merriam Webster’s many definitions of consciousness, one definition is “the state of being characterized by sensation, emotion, volition, and thought: mind”

Consciousness is the part of the mind in which we are aware.  When Einstein writes about solving problems on different levels of consciousness,  he is suggesting that you look at a different perspective, as the first perspective usually is  the one that caused the problem to begin with.

 For example lets take a common problem that many people have such as debt.  If one borrows money continuously they will probably always have excessive debt.   Borrowing more money probably will not solve the problem. Another level or a higher level of consciousness is to find a way to obtain the money without excessive borrowing.

 If we were to design a ladder with the lowest rung labeled stealing the second rung begging, the third rung

borrowing, and the fourth rung is employment and so forth, this could easily illustrate levels of consciousness.

Transcending to another level is possible, you would just need to determine what level you are on, and where on the level of consciousness you need to be.
