| 11.) Two opposite extremes that cannot achieve even the first stage of Awakening… (The first extreme is): ignorantly clinging to (or excessive attention given to) one’s physical body. Those who fail to realize: (i) they are more than just what they see in the mirror; (ii) that their physical body is just a temporary vehicle (of expression) for their soul or spirit — when that body inevitably ages, they are prone to suffer mental terror and even suicide. (The second extreme is): erroneous renunciation based on hatred, repulsion or struggling against matter (or materialism, or needs of the flesh)– For example: many ascetics and sadhus; flagellates in medieval times; self-inflicted: stigmata and other physical body sufferings. |
| b.) Stage By Stage—Also Achieve: (i) Free and Independent Thinking; (ii) Mobility and Movability of the Spirit; (iii) Higher Sensitivity and Receptivity (To Powerful Spiritual and Cosmic Energies); (iv) To Merge one's small and lower consciousness with Higher Being's Broader And Higher Consciousness; (v) Lead To Achieve """Resurrection Of One’s Spirit""" ! (vi) Then Achieve All Predestined & Preordained Goals On Earth: Eternal Liberation (from the ceaseless cycle of suffering: birth, death and rebirth); Immortality and Ultimate Perfection ! |
