Unlimited Horizons
Dynamic moves How we reach higher regions is specified in detail for each stage in the following section. All that is required is willingness to comprehend and to invest energy into this venture. We don't need outside help, - no guru, nor any kind of organization, nor any special preparation.
The mechanisms we employ differ fundamentally from stage to stage. The way we e.g. progress from STAGE 1 to STAGE 4 will not give access to STAGE 5 as well.
We do not have to 'climb' the 14 stages one after the other. There's no need to 'complete' one stage first before we progress to a higher one.
Flash-insights into higher stages inform us how previously unknown regions of our consciousness feel like. They show us what to expect on broader and deeper levels. They inspire us to seek out these areas again. Moves between distant stages (upward as well as downward) accelerate our development - if we recognize and put attention to this mechanism.
We do not gain access to higher stages by 'accumulating knowledge' on the level we currently experience.
The mechanism is entirely different: Once we completed the themes one particular level offers, our interest in this level dissolves. Our attention then all by itself shifts to a higher stage - like we grew out of small children's games into the far vaster world of a grown-up.
Only STAGE 1 and 4 permit an indefinite duration of stay. All other stages last limited time.
