That's what I thought at first, but it became clear after a while that CC, GC, and UC were labels for certain distinct types of experiences, points on a continuum, rather than for sequential states, although the experiences tend to develop in that general direction. On the other hand, if someone is having stable, prolonged experiences that fit the description attached to the label God consciousness, for example, perhaps it wouldn't be wrong to say the person was "in" God consciousness or had "achieved" God consciousness?
