Raising consciousness is also referred to as transformation.
When you raise, or transform, your consciousness, you release fears, conditioning, unhealthy patterns, and so on - what people refer to as the shadow. Spiritual teacher Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986) referred to it as "the net of illusions."
The root cause of all of the issues we are facing in the world is our level of consciousness.
As you raise your consciousness, you are making the world a better place - you are also taking steps toward reaching your full potential.
Raising your consciousness is a permanent change in character - elements of the shadow fall away.
As you raise your consciousness, your heart opens.
Innovation improves.

As you raise your consciousness, you are taking steps toward reaching your fullest potential.

Raising your consciousness creates harmony with nature.
You become emotionally and psychologically strong.
These are only a few of the benefits. The beneficial results of raising consciousness are many.
"...two qualities are indispensable: first, an intellect that, even in the darkest hour, retains some glimmerings of the inner light which leads to truth; and second, the courage to follow this faint light wherever it may lead."
