With opening of the 6th bhumi, ones mind becomes quite clear. At
this point one has realised selflessness to some degree which is
significant to the person himself. One experiences relatively
comprehensive freedom most of the time which is why opening of
the 6th bhumi is important. However, at times one's mind can get
very clouded. When this stage is finished, the ground rests at the
crown.
In this bhumi model, the sixth bhumi is not even at the halfway of
the whole system. There is much more to go. Further progress is
possible because there is a system of seven centers above the
crown which are yet to be tapped. At the attainment of the 6th
bhumi, is where spiritual maturation really begins.

I first learned the bhumi model in early 2014 from a master called
Thirumular, with whom I studied for several years. After continuing
my studies with Machig Labdron and other masters of tantric
buddhism and Tibetan dzogchen, this same model has served well
in mapping various stages of spiritual attainments.
