opment, the more we become capable of accessing also the subtler levels of karma that impede the full unfoldment of our consciousness.
Hermann Kuhn
Our attachment to karma is dissolved,
1- in the natural sequence of events, either as soon as the conditions for an activation occur, or if this does not happen at the end of the maximum period for which a particular type of karma can be bound to a living being. In this natural sequence of events a long time may pass between the original binding of karma and its final dissolution.
-
2- when we force its activation, i.e., when we intentionally create the conditions that stimulate a karmic activation. This mechanism can reduce our amount of karma (i.e. the amount of our unresolved themes of life) significantly faster.
- The liberation of a living being from all influences that limits his innate qualities and abilities (moksa) opens access to the highest status of our potential. Once we achieve this, we experience a state of realization that possesses such breathtaking depth and broadness (in love, knowledge, power, abilities and the experience of happiness) the Western culture has no concept to match.

This high goal is not reached by mystical powers or the blessings of supernatural beings, but only by a selfdetermined individual path on which we dissolve our attachment to all elements that block the unrestricted use of our consciousness. Once these blocks are fully removed, we automatically gain access to this highest state of our consciousness.
