Mystical stage of life

Description:
The attention is turned from the external and inverted onto the inner space of the psyche. It may be expressed through may of the methods of yoga, through the Taoist tradition, through the psychic experiences and siddhis of tantric magic and yoga. Traditionally, the orientation is towards renouncing gross physical existence; this may be through asceticism. It culminates in the conscious absorption in divine reality and loss of body sense experienced in [nirvikalpa samadhi]. The error is to cling to subtle objects and states or to conditional transcendence of these objects and states in conditional nirvikalpa samadhi.
Context:
The fifth of seven stages of life characterized by Master Da Love Ananda (formerly Da Free John). Characteristic expression is said to be in the sky magic of the psyche.<
