APPLICATION
fetters of the entire strata of bodily existence to regain full command of our greater, majestic self, - immensely enriched by our experiences in the restricted, separated circumstances we voluntarily and consciously subjected ourselves to.
At the moment of liberation we again assume what was never really lost to us, - pure unrestricted consciousness. We now fully experience its inherent nature - unlimited cognition, unlimited love, unlimited knowledge, unlimited power and unending bliss.
Each higher stage brings about a substantial acceleration of development and our ability to comprehend. This acceleration can be compared to the mechanism of an e-curve, which after a long, drawn-out starting-phase with only few small changes, increases rapidly in dynamic to reach the final state only a short time later.
Though we may spend long time in gunasthana one and four, we should not infer that the higher stages require an equal amount of time for their unfoldment. From the fifth gunasthana onwards we will experience an unprecedented acceleration of our development that cannot even be imagined in the preceding stages.
This acceleration is further supported by the fact that certain karmas fall away once a higher level is reached. The broader and more comprehensive understanding on the new level automatically dissolves the emotional attachment to these karmas (themes of life), which then dissipate without manifesting much of an effect.
This description is a brief overview. The attributes, mechanisms and inner logic of the gunasthanas are far more extensive and complex than can be covered in this
