Four Stages Of Groundedness

What is reality for you is what you are grounded in. You can be grounded in so many things, including ego, money, sex, power, drugs, friends, video games, job, family, religion, spirituality, consciousness, God. Significant stages ofgroundedness for me have been my family of origin, my religion, my profession, marriage and family, self, aham brahmasmi. I was originally not of the world, then in the world, then in the world but not of it, and am becoming not of it but of the unmanifest. What helps me grow in my sense of groundedness is openness, learning, experience, awareness.
