I am not sure that I understand how one can grow/explore in a "karma-safe" realm. One _may_ be able to derive the courage there to start exploring once one is outside of that area, or possibly an inspiration about what to explore. But it seems to me that real growth and exploration have to happen under whatever state/realm is normative for the individual in question. Otherwise it is just a theoretical exercise in 'what if' as anything learned and carried over IS going to have karmic repercussion. At least that is my opinion/understanding of the matter. But I will admit I think in strange ways sometimes.
