these desires, our experiences automatically become more stable.
Yet once we PERMANENTLY experience a higher stage, it matures into the NORMAL state while the feeling of ecstasy fades.
Expectation of supernatural experiences Many expect supernatural light, massive expansions of space, ethereal bliss etc. as they rise to higher inner dimensions.
Experiences of this kind are certainly possible but will become steady only from Stage 7 onwards.
Yet by expecting grandiose visions, ecstasy etc. we severely restrict our perceptions to only what we want to encounter. Thus we easily deprive ourselves of many other expansive experiences that do not match our expectations.
The (stable) experience of higher stages is not necessarily coupled with ecstasy.
While hoping for a massive 'supernatural' breakthrough - which rarely occurs in lower stages - we easily miss the less spectacular but nevertheless genuine higher insights daily life continuously offers.
These everyday openings (sudden insight into our situation from a superior perspective, moments of wider comprehension, impulses for activities that broaden our life etc.) are the very keys to a stable perception of higher dimensions of our consciousness - if we only pursue and amplify these impulses.
