No , I dont
think so. I believe that there is no limit to the evolution of conciousness. There
is the old hermetic saying : as above so below . So there are probably , still
higher attentions 5. 6. and ad infinitum. The evolution of the attentions can
be desribed in three phases 1. a sudden shift in the higher attention 2. a
phase of stabilisation 3. a crisis situation which makes a new shift urgently necessary. In the phase of
stabilisation , there is the highest indentification with that particular
attention . Here you might come to the conclusion , that you have reached the non
plus ultra of realization. The old seers believed for a long time, that they
reached the highest possible level of realization . Same thing with the new
seers...
"I died as a
mineral and became a plant;
I died as a plant and rose to animal;
I died as animal and I was a man.
Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
Yet once more I shall die as man to soar
With angels blest. But even from an angel
I must pass on: all except God must perish.
When I have sacrificed my angel soul,
I shall become what no mind ever conceived."
Rumi
