- The separation of karmic matter from our consciousness (nirjara) happens automatically when karma becomes active (when it manifests).
The activation of karma converts its latent energy into a form that can be experienced. The activation dissolves the bond between our consciousness and the respective karmic molecules. After its activation karma ceases to influence our life.
This process happens all the time without us being much aware of it. Our attachment to the features of our physical environment for example runs on such a deep-rooted level that we generally regard it as a self-understood, absolute property of our life.15 Only when we begin to dissolve this deep-rooted bond - from the sixth stage of development onwards - do we realize that our present environment is not a primary feature of the universe but one particular result of our emotional (karmic) attachment to a certain limited range of interactions between matter, time, space, movement and rest.
In the first five stages of development we usually notice the separation of karmic matter from our consciousness only when
15 This means our emotional attachment to the perception of this world
e.g. as three-dimensional, as subject to gravity (as our feet resting on the ground), as matter being relatively stable, as thoughts not manifesting without us putting effort into them, as nature being green in its phase of growth etc.
Though these perceptions appear so normal that we hardly ever think about them, they nevertheless are quite different to what we experience in our dreams. In our dreams we take it as nothing special when we fly though the air, when our thoughts manifest or change material objects instantly, when we perceive us as the center of multidimensional perceptions, when nature appears as a side-show that runs in the background only etc.
Though there is a present trend to regard dreams as rather irrelevant mirages, we nevertheless experience them as vividly as our current world once we immerse our consciousness in them. This demonstrates that our consciousness activates quite different modes for perceiving the world it focuses on.
