Welcome friends and mystical travelers. This is Ayn Cates Sullivan, host of Wisdom of the Ages: Weaving the Sacred into Modern Day Reality. Each week I offer stories, interviews, and spiritual monologues to inspire, heal and uplift the soul. And you can listen to many more episodes on superpowerexperts.com/wisdomoftheages.
I’m really fascinated by how we as human beings consciously evolve, where we’re heading during these times of shift and change. And I really love coming up with solutions. I enjoy discovering the many prisms of human nature and the ways in which we resonate with and understand each other, which is why I love interviews and discussions such as this podcast. If you’re anything like me, you want to know yourself better and the stages of consciousness. Years ago, when I studied and then taught color therapy, I noticed that people who were identified with certain colors tend to view the world that way.
I particularly love the color gold. I’m rational, creative, very dedicated to the consciousness process, the evolution of humanity and wisdom is what the color gold was all about. Some colors resonate and some don’t. I had more of a challenge with the color pink, which at the time seemed too feminine and heart-centered. And I’ve now grown to love pink as a color of unconditional love. It’s interesting, if we look at the rainbow, we can see that there’s an evolutionary progression from this connection from the divine, all the way through full enlightenment. And this was really what the show is about today. My guests today are Allen David Reed and Tahnee Woolf. And in this fascinating episode, we will be discussing their life work, their book, Ten Terrains of Consciousness: Understanding Yourself, Other People and Our World.
Each one of us has a unique way of viewing the world. When we’re clear about where we’re coming from and what our life purpose to the mission is, it’s easier to find our tribe, which is what their work is all about and I can’t wait to find out more. I must say that when I received their book, Ten Terrains of Consciousness, I was having a challenge with a woman who was trying to make me see the world her way. I love to discuss ideas, but I don’t like being forced into anything. I was trying to understand her, but we weren’t in resonance. I’m very creative and out of the box and she liked organization and structure. I don’t like to be defined, labeled, or confined and she thought that we should all conform. Anyway, I noticed that she seemed quite fearful and she started saying that she thought the world was coming to an end. And then I went, oh, I get it. Her enlightenment drive hasn’t kicked in yet. Not yet, not yet. Okay. I shifted gears and started to invite her into a new paradigm, the long journey from fear to love.
I told her I started Infinite Light Publishing and Media to help others, myself first and then others find and share their unique voices and that I felt we were at the beginning of a collective awakening. She opened up a little bit more and we had an interesting dialogue. Pondering this conversation, it was perfect to receive Ten Terrains of Consciousness. I just love synchronicity. And as I read through the pages, I opened to the concept that we can resonate with or that we do resonate with certain people. And then other people we’re just not in the same ballpark. And both Allen David Reed and Tahnee Woolf say that this is based on our terrain. We’re going to find out about that and how it’s connected with levels of consciousness and how we evolve.
Also really love the idea that we’re always expanding. We’re not going to go backward, we’re always expanding. Let’s see, I went online and I took the quiz and I came out as the spiral aware diamond, which I hope we can talk about during the interview part of this episode. And anyway, it just really helped me to understand what I was talking about with this woman who maybe was a square and I was really coming from a place of a diamond and how we can use this to understand each other. As we evolve, we begin to realize that there’s no reason to be upset with anyone. What we can do is we can understand the next evolutionary step. Let’s walk in different paradigms together.
Let me formally introduce my guests. Allen David Reed is a modern-day American polymath. A polymath is a person with a great deal of knowledge so this should be fun. He has extensive training in quantum physics, as well as other divination sciences and philosophies. Tahnee Woolf is an Australian Renaissance woman with an impressive resume ranging from a Master’s in law from Oxford, which’s impressive, to a spiritual channel, which is also impressive. She’s skilled at reading human dynamics in all forms. You can find out more about them on tenterrains.com. If you’re curious, you can also take their quiz.
After the break, we’ll start to talk about this a little bit more and you can figure out where you are in your own process of human evolution. I’m going to be bold here and just say that in my own sort of takeaway here, what I learned is that we move from the particle where we feel separate from source to the radial experience of faith-based sort of understanding God, that God’s outside us, to the pyramid, where we experience our free will, often through greed and conquest, which is still happening on the planet, to the square of selfless duty and conformity, to the diamond of unique self-expression, to the heart-centered nature-based opening, an understanding of the circle of life, to the spiral of inner truth, to the toroid of universal truth, to infinity is oneness and then finally, just simply the void based nothing.
There it is. There’s spirituality in a nutshell. I think their work’s really fantastic. I’m going to take a short break and when we come back, we’re going to speak with Tahnee Woolf and Allen David Reed about the Ten Terrains and the 10 stages of Consciousness where we are now, but personally and collectively and what might happen as we make the collective shift from diamond to circle. Exciting. Okay. I’m ready for the leap. Stay tuned. We’ll be right back.
