In this episode Joel and Antonia talk about personality type and higher consciousness.
In this podcast you’ll find:
- This podcast episode talks about personality type and higher consciousness.
- When you’re going into your subconscious mind, your approach will be based on the type of personality you have.
- People have a tendency to hyper-focus on their ego.
- Higher states of consciousness – Any time we take in more territory with what is in our world framework. In relation to the Graves model, each time we level up, we expand our territory to take in more information that we’re aware of. Our awareness of our terrain mean something to us.
- People in the highest states of consciousness sees things in an interconnected way. The more conscious we become, the more we are aware of how interconnected we all are.
- The ego is the part of us that makes us want to exist. As you start to take in more terrain and awareness, it’s this ego that you’re interacting with.
- When you are in a situation where you are attached with your identity and you feel you are right, that’s your ego.
- Ego Transcendence – when one reflects and sees oneself as part of a huge universal dance, recognizing that there’s a part of us that we might have mistaken to be us. Transcending the ego is generally considered when you are no longer attached with your ego and it isn’t all you can see. If you can step back and see what is going on around you, you can watch the part of you in the picture too.
- Our attachment to our ego is also what creates war. It’s what makes us so sure that we’re right about something that we will literally pick up a weapon and destroy somebody else’s life because they don’t agree with what our ego asserts.
- Personality types are one of the most powerful tools that will take you to a place where you can take in more territory. It helps us accept our unique selves.

Antonia and Joel-
Fascinating. Thank you for all of these podcasts I have learned so much about myself as an intuitive.
So ways to transcend the ego: (1) step back and see the world from an observer perspective and (2) love yourself.
Are there any other techniques you recommend?
I have been working on changing my self-image and beliefs toward a life of giving and gratitude. I am taking small steps and soon I think I will have an ‘aha’ moment where my self-image will change in an instant.
Best,
Michael
I love a pat on the head! :)
We love talking to people of like minds and talking to hours. It’s our favorite thing in the world. And we love knowing that others are on this track for higher consciousness. As Simon Sinek brought out in his TEDx talk about tipping points, we don’t need everyone, just 17.5% of the population. That has to be doable!

Thanks guys! A big pat on the head for Antonia :). 20 years ago, coming out of a divorce, I got psychodynamic counseling for the purpose of being faced with myself. I experienced how others mirror my ego (and those of my dysfunctional family), and I learned to deal with me (others) using more than one strategy (flight). This also helped break the pattern of codependency. I’ve been happily “re” married for 15 years.
.
10 years ago I came across Bill Harris and his “Map of Reality” series. (I know some of his work is controversial, but I found this very helpful). I learned about being the observer, “watching myself with curiosity” not judging but just saying to myself “hmmm, that’s interesting.” I learned that my view or internal map of the world is not the world. My view is distorted by my biases, preferences, interpretations. This helped me to open my eyes & the see the world & people differently. I also learned that meaning is what we attach to something (again, shaped by our biases etc). So when something disagreeable happens, I am more likely to be the observer & try to understand what’s triggering my emotion.
.
So thank you for you podcast. It allowed me to recall my journey of learning to transcend my ego. I wish I could just hang with you both and talk for hours. I am in deep gratitude for you and your courage and passion to model right energy in this world (the real one).
Thanks Leonard for the comment. It is awesome to realize that you aren’t broken or need fixed – it’s just how you are made. I agree that it frees up so much energy.
It is also my belief that personality is largely genetic in origin. That begs my next question… what isn’t genetic in origin?
Just thoughts…
Antonia, Joel
Thanks for the podcast. It got me thinking about why personality psychology is a useful tool for reaching a higher level of consciousness.
While I am sure the jury is out on this, to me it seems that a part of our personality is genetic in origin. So if our preference to a particular way of processing information and making decisions in the world is built in to a point. Then having an understanding of that has to be a fundamental building block to making any real progress in life at all.
If someone has no psychological blockages of any note to deal with, perhaps they don’t see the usefulness of personality psychology. But by there nature they are going to be few in number given the world we live in. For those of us with plenty of constraining cultural conditioning to jettison, I’m sure glad it’s available.
Gaining the understanding of why I don’t fit into the cultural norm has been a huge relief. The energy that frees up is very welcome. There can be no progress made in states of consciousness or anything else without the available energy to put into it.
