sible time.1 Insights into more comprehensive levels of consciousness will then rise automatically.
Liberation (moksa) is the full unfoldment of all our hidden abilities. These abilities, which all of us always carry within us, open such breathtaking breadth and depth of comprehension, love, power and the experience and capacity of happiness, our Western culture has no concept to match. We reach liberation when all elements that blocked the unrestricted operation of our consciousness have fallen away. Only when these blocks are fundamentally removed, do we gain access to this highest status of our life.
The Tattvarthasutra offers us a method with which to realize this highest status of our potential. It contains a practical key that systematically opens the hidden dimensions of our consciousness. This key is not shrouded in obscure language or requires the exercise of mystic techniques, it simply interprets life from a new angle. Yet this new angle enables us to arrange the components of our daily life in such a way that more expansive insights will rise automatically.
When we put this method into practice, we enter a path to total self-determination and to the attainment of abilities we usually assign only to supernatural beings. Yet we do not reach this high objective through the blessings of any god, through esoteric powers or by following any guru. The method described in the Tattvarthasutra gradually dissolves - in step with our own efforts - all obstructions that limit our consciousness.
1 The chapter 'FIVE FREEDOMS' introduces the main mechanisms
that assist this process. KARMA - THE MECHANISM (also by Hermann Kuhn) explains the practical application of this knowledge in daily life.
