When we confront this phenomenon the first time we may worry why we don't 'fall asleep' as we are accustomed to. Here it is recommended to remain unperturbed, allow our body to stay in deep rest and watch our thoughts drift by. After some nights we notice that body and mind are rested deeper than ever before and full of vibrant energy.
Even in less advanced stages sleep and deep sleep may cease to block us for some time so that we experience vibrant sleep.
'Vibrant sleep' is easy to distinguish from sleeplessness. Sleeplessness is not caused by the transition to a higher stage, but originates in continued overtaxing of our physical and nonphysical senses. Furthermore - after a 'sleepless' night we are dead tired and not filled with vibrant energy.
How to access STAGE 10 Briefly before we ascend to Stage 10 we end
• anger (impatience) • arrogance (pride) • manipulation (the impulse to deceive others)
Though these three obstructive tendencies merely surface as mild emotions in Stage 9, their ever so slight egoistic urge blocks further progress.
By dissolving anger, arrogance and manipulation we rid ourselves of three of the four main mechanisms that up till now prevented us to perceive reality with unimpeded clarity. Terminating the fourth and last obstructing mechanism - addiction (greed) - is the main theme of Stage 10.
