________________ 150 Hermann Kuhn APPLICATION time may dominate all our actions and moods. Unable to fully control our behavior during these outbreaks, the constant and perfect pursuit of the Five Freedoms is not yet possible. Therefore on this level the Five Freedoms are called the Five 'minor' Freedoms. 6 - The sixth level (pramatta virata) is the breakthrough into a vivid intensity of the present never before experienced. This breakthrough gives us the long desired and solid confirmation that our path really leads to levels of consciousness entirely unimaginable on lower stages. With immense relief all concepts, preconceptions and emotions that previously locked our consciousness into narrow limits fall off like superfluous crusts. Our attention shifts from the fleeting aspect of the present to its comprehensive character. We now become vividly aware of all the contents, associations, origins, projections and concepts that always also resonate within us, when we observe an event in the present. An euphoric feeling of all-encompassing universal love rises within us that is not constrained by personal expectations and demands any more. We feel like intoxicated by the potential that now opens up for our life. We gain the power to send part of our consciousness to other places and inside objects to ascertain their true nature and to dissolve doubt. We gain insight into significances and meanings that exist beyond the senses and that we were not conscious of before. In each event we confront we recognize how much we can learn from it if we engage in it though our action, - Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
