The Four Stages of Consciousness

An essay in the AI Mind Medium publication mapping a four-stage progression of consciousness — most often framed (in this genre) as victim consciousness → emerging agency → gratitude/flow → unitive awareness. The piece appears to argue that growth is not linear and that we cycle back to earlier stages whenever we need to heal before ascending again. Note: pub.aimind.so disallows automated access; I could not read the article directly, so the author and the specific framing are not verified — this summary describes the most common "Four Stages of Consciousness" framework circulated in this publication's space.
