The Seven Stages To

A spiritual or mystical state is the present-tense realisation, to varying degrees, of a profound & intensely-felt freedom.

These higher states are inherent to the human body-mind. And, much closer than one might think!

Therefore, it is possible for them to be triggered at any time.

In fact, states can be experienced at any time by any one..

There is no necessary prerequisite to experiencing or deeply intuiting even the highest of mystical or spiritual states, including the enlightened state.

Profound spiritual states can also be brought about by:

Graphic:

Meditation
Devotional practices
Self-Enquiry
Yoga
Fasting
Prayer
Sex
Satsang
Darshan
Exhaustion
Near-Death Experience (NDE)
Brain Injury
Illness
OR:
For no reason at all!

Nevertheless …

How the state is interpreted and understood will depend on the stage of human and/or spiritual development one has achieved, or currently in.

Additionally, the stage will determine whether one is able to stably abide in that higher state.

The difference & relationship between states & stages is that of the difference & relationship between perception & perspective.

At the stage of human development of a child, they will have a child’s perspective of any of their perceptions.

A child’s interpretation of what they perceive will be limited by their stage of human development, i.e. the development stage of their perspective.

An adult’s interpretation of what they perceive will in most cases be a more comprehensive understanding reflecting a higher stage of human development - or a higher human development of perspective.
