07. Transformation of the Vital
Fragment ID: 2973
When the vital being has been touched by the psychic, mere vital pleasure has no longer any interest, and may also be felt as a disturbance and discomfort because of the lowering effect upon the consciousness.
Pain can be turned into Ananda, but I don’t think that there is a special stage for that.
