Appendix 2:

The 3D-5D Evolutionary Framework for Spiritual Ascension and
Adi Da's Seven Stages of Life Framework


This is Appendix 2 of Chris Tong's book, Finding the Divine In Person and Waking Up From the Dream.

The 3D-5D spiritual framework for spiritual evolution is an increasingly well-known way of viewing spiritual evolution. Evolution within this framework is described as "ascension". Because so many spiritual seekers these days understand spiritual evolution through the "lens" of the 3D-5D framework, I felt it was useful to compare this framework with Adi Da's Seven Stages of Life Framework, and with the Way of Adidam.

The 3D-5D framework describes human growth as an ascension through different states of consciousness or "vibrational frequencies," with the ultimate goal being 5D unity consciousness.

  • 3D Consciousness: Associated with material reality, ego, separation, and fear. This is the baseline state of being focused on survival and duality, perceiving "me vs. them".
  • 4D Consciousness: A transitional state characterized by a spiritual awakening. Here, individuals begin questioning reality and expanding their perception beyond the physical senses. Intuition starts to guide one's actions, and synchronicity becomes more common.
  • 5D Consciousness: The highest state, marked by unconditional love, oneness, and the dissolution of the ego's control. In this state, thoughts and intentions manifest more quickly, and time is perceived as fluid rather than linear.
