For the large part, I believed what I read of Mr. Calder. Mr. Calder also said this: http://web.archive.org/web/20040611074639/home.att.net/~meditation/seven.html .... 4) The fourth stage has been called the " mental body " and subjectively feels larger than the third. Subjectively, the fourth feels oceanic and is filled with more intense energy and light than the third. The fourth is highly projective and is the instrument of clarity, imagination, and vivid dreams. The greatest artists of history have been awakened to the fourth stage and drew inspiration and energy from its depths. Frank Lloyd Wright was an obvious example of a fourth stage artist and architect. His homes radiate the mysteries of higher consciousness and celebrate man's intimate connection with nature. Many people love Frank Lloyd Wright's homes but cannot comprehend what is so unique about them. The answer lies in his depth of consciousness which he gracefully expressed in wood, stone, and art glass. Those who reach the fourth stage often imagine they are enlightened and become even more arrogant and selfish than they were before attaining it. Most Indian and Tibetan gurus and contemporary Japanese " Zen masters " are in this fourth stage, and that is why most are not very helpful to their own students. The potential for ego inflation is difficult to resist but can be fought off by remembering that the fourth stage is relatively easy to attain and there are thousands of mid-level fourth stage students in the world at any given time. The fourth stage can be achieved by the use of methodology if a student makes a sincere effort over a long period of time. While there is nothing unusual about entering this expanded state of consciousness, it does take us one step closer to true wakefulness. 5) Going beyond the fourth stage to the fifth level is the truly difficult task for students of meditation. Those who attain the fifth stage are said to have reached the first level of self-realization. To reach the fifth one must journey upwards, not just outwards, and this higher plane facilitates a continuous state of superconsciousness. The fourth can be described as an ocean of light that is highly projective. The fifth is an absolutely non-projective layer of energy that is just beyond that ocean of light, beyond the thought process, and beyond the human mind. Subjectively, the fifth feels like an infinity of warm and comfortable darkness that softly envelopes the mind ocean. The fifth stage is the last and final layer of our individual personal being. The Total Awareness method described in Meditation Handbook is a means by which students of meditation who are in the fourth stage can gain reliable glimpses of the fifth. A glimpse of the fifth is called a satori, a temporary peak at self-realization. Many students confuse the blissfulness of the third and fourth stages they experience during meditation sessions with satori, which is a much more rare phenomena. Even to experience an authentic satori is relatively easy. To live in satori, the fifth stage, is relatively impossible. It is almost like the difference between visiting Hawaii and actually owning Hawaii. I envy those who have attained the fifth permanently because the fifth stage is the first comfortable level of consciousness where one truly feels at home. Until the fifth is attained we live as strangers to ourselves because we have not yet come home to our essential being. Until the fifth we do not know our " original face " and thus we suffer greatly. 6) The sixth stage of consciousness has been called the " cosmic body " and is said to be discovered through a jump from all that is human into all that is beyond. The sixth is described as the same size as the physical universe and its realization is beyond the limits of mind. This is the " uncharted " and " pathless " territory that Jiddu Krishnamurti spoke about so intensely. Those who attain the sixth stage attract energy from all sides of the universe and pass that energy through like a clear lens. The 'enlightenment' is not in our small human brains, but in the cosmic force that passes through us untouched. Claims made by some gurus that the higher levels of consciousness make one capable of time travel are false. All seven stages and all of life exists only in the here and now. Even a full Buddha is not capable of seeing into the future in any magical way beyond ordinary reasonable guesses. Unfortunately, there is much self-promotion in the world of gurus which often leads to exaggeration. Likewise, such often claimed powers as the ability to materialize matter and the attainment of an all-seeing infallible wisdom are equally fictitious. Human beings in the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh stages often do have the authentic powers of telepathy and direct energy transmission. 7) The seventh stage is said to be beyond size and form and is the limitless void from which all is born. The seventh stage is known as 'nirvana' and 'moksha' (example - see Ramana Maharshi). .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
