The Quantum Leap in Consciousness

Enlightenment is not a step-by-step-by-step process but a sudden leap. This movement from one state of consciousness to another seems frequently to be characterized by two primary factors, one of acute inner tension and spiritual anguish followed by a sudden and often dramatic release or surrender of the personality to a higher aspect of consciousness. If properly utilized, meditation and prayer serve to heighten the tension at such times. Another device is the Zen koan that corners the intellectual mind with a problem it cannot solve through the normal thinking processses.

Indian saint Sri Ramakrishna, in complete desperation, leapt from his meditations and tore a sword from the temple wall to kill himself- at that instant he reached enlightenment. Don Juan speaks of the 'crack between the worlds' as a doorway beyond which lies the abyss.

To the Zulu this point beyond time and space is the 'gate of distance'. TheUpanishads say: Where heaven and earth meet there is a space wide as a razor's edge or a fly's wing through which one may pass to another world.
