________________ SUTRAS THE KEY TO THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE 77 ments, desires and preconceptions that hold us on level one. We stop refueling these bonds with new energy and attention and in consequence they cease to influence us a short while later. This automatically lengthens the periods during which we break free from the hypnotic envelope that overshadows our consciousness on level one. - In the third phase we have no more karmic bonds that totally impede the clarity of our understanding. Once we reach this third and highest phase, we cease to fall down to any of the lower gunastlianas. Since we intimately know, how long our moments of awakening last, we now can easily determine the phase of the fourth stage of development (gunasthana) we currently experience. We then also know what themes of our life (what karmic attachments) need to be resolved in that particular stage to enable further expansion. - Allowing Total Perception - pramana - to influence our life (vidhana). - Integrating an experience into our life means far more than merely accepting it as we did in step two (svamitva). As we reach this last step, we gained far more intimate insight into our new experience than in step two. We now know how much the experience enriches us and begin to use it actively in our life. It is a natural process that results automatically from the greater scope of insight Total Perception gives us access to. EXAMPLE: We purposely apply our insight into the mechanisms of growth to explore unknown regions of our consciousness. We employ this ability in the same natural way as we e.g. travel to a country that is foreign to us or explore a new field of knowledge. This acceptance into our life now intensifies our intuition and opens up further dimensions of our consciousness. Jain Education International For Personal & Private Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
