Unlimited Horizons
direct our focus exactly where we want to - thus our expansion becomes exclusively our own responsibility.
One example: We all know the hurt when a loved person does not return our affections. When this hurt gets triggered, it easily overshadows all our emotions and distracts our mind. Once we decide to rise to STAGE 6, we recognize this hurt as a mere minor cloud that overshadows only a small area of our awareness - an awareness far larger than perceived on STAGE 5.
Practical Tips
• Limiting themes still manifest in our life, but they now
surface as mere temporary distractions. • The more our focus on STAGE 6 stabilizes, the more trying
emotional challenges we face when we get pulled down to lower stages.
These are caused by unfulfilled desires and deep attachment to emotions that can only be experienced on lower levels. To get rid of these challenges, we need to experience them one last time, - which means to go back to the emotional density and turbulence of lower stages.
Patience, perseverance and the conviction that we will ascend again always help to gain back STAGE 6.
The greater our courage to let go of deep egoistic motivations, the faster our consciousness expands again. The shift back to the emotional confusion of lower stages may sometimes trigger despair and fear that our life is not expanding, - or that 'mistakes' committed on lower stages prevent us from reaching higher ones.
