Russian psychology professor Sergei Savelyev states that there are three levels of human consciousness: lower, higher, and ultimate. The latter is characterized by awareness, a high degree of free will, sound critical thinking, and a general lack of need for intimidation, enticement, or motivation through rewards and the threat of punishment. However, this level of consciousness represents no more than 15 percent of humanity. The remaining individuals inevitably require religious and secular laws to restrain their inner demons. Tertiary consciousness is characterized by free and voluntary thought, enabling individuals to adopt a conscious stance toward everything happening around them.
This is because they are sufficiently intellectually developed and do not require deterrents or social laws to regulate their behavior. By their very nature, they do not harm or wrong others because of their rationality, internal discipline, and adherence to social norms. Their lives would be disrupted if they failed to observe these principles. Therefore, most political systems insist on maintaining a hidden deterrent for the masses, contrary to what may be publicly apparent. Those with secondary consciousness generally possess only a limited understanding of societal boundaries. However, this allows them to live relatively normal lives without constant police intervention or fear of accountability. They can be assigned various tasks and will carry them out, but they are not exceptionally talented or particularly creative.
Those with primary consciousness live simply, guided largely by instinct and biological impulses. They lack analytical depth and are not inclined toward continuous learning, self-criticism, or critical thinking. Yet they cannot be described as bad, as this is simply their nature. Just as someone without a musical ear will never become a Mozart, the indicator of a society’s level of consciousness is not its system of government, nor the number of places of worship or believers, but rather the extent to which that society actually needs institutions of deterrence, security forces, and internal security. The less a society relies on such institutions, the more advanced its level of consciousness. A person is born and raised according to what others convince them to believe. This includes beliefs, food, and clothing.
During childhood, a person has little or no choice in these matters. As they grow older, however, their minds develop, and some people become capable of making comparisons. Thus, men with a primary level of awareness tend to compare who bought what, who married whom, and who is wealthier. Women, on the other hand, may compare their husbands with other women’s husbands. When the comparison is unfavorable to the person making it, it can affect their inner feelings. For example, someone may work honestly throughout their life and still be unable to live like a wealthy person. This can lead to cognitive dissonance and may create a desire to take from those who have more and redistribute it to others, in accordance with communist or socialist ideals. For someone with genuine free will, however, none of the above matters. They do not care who owns the most expensive shoes. They simply wear comfortable shoes, even if they are inexpensive.
This is something we can observe in the way some American billionaires dress. As for someone who lacks free will, that is, someone with a primary level of awareness- material value becomes the sole criterion for comparison. Everything revolves around food, reproduction, dominance, and a primitive system of social interaction. Therefore, Professor Savelyev repeatedly emphasizes that any system characterized by a discrepancy between what it states and what it conceals, or between words and actions, theory and practice, will activate the brain’s limbic system. The individual then becomes subject to hormonal pressures that influence behavior, creating a highly complex process. Some degree of control over these hormonal pressures is possible for those capable of free, deliberate thought, that is, those with tertiary consciousness. At the level of primary consciousness, however, such control is impossible, and this may eventually lead to an explosion. This is precisely why people with primary-level thinking have been the fuel of revolutions, while those with tertiary consciousness are the ones who ultimately rise to positions of power.
