“The Individual Consciousness, Jiva you have, goes through 25 states of Consciousness. Every day, you recognize only three: deep sleep, dream and waking state. In Sanskrit, we have 3 words – Sushupti, Svapna, Jagrat – roughly translated into Deep sleep, Dream and Waking state respectively. But actually, the individual soul has a possibility of 25 states of Consciousness.
Waking state, Dream state, Deep Sleep state – when these states crisscross each other they make 9 spaces. When dream state enters into your waking state – it is a nightmare. When waking state enters into the dream state – it is day dreaming.
If you understand the 25 states of consciousness an individual goes through, most of the sufferings you go through in your life will become irrelevant to you. Understand, those sufferings do not have existence. They merely are make-belief existence. The make-belief experiences, which do not have real existence, but which bind you, with which you suffer, all of that can become redundant even by understanding the 25 states of Consciousness.
For example, Sushupta Turiya is the space where all intuitions about lower level sciences are revealed. If the intuition, higher intelligence lands in the dream state, you will have the vision of gods and goddesses. If it lands on jagrat waking state, you will get enlightened. In the awakened (turiya) state, you know you are everything and you experience Oneness with everything. But you can't move everything and change it as you want. In
the alive state (turiyatita) you know you are everything and you can alter, play with and move everything as you want.
All mind related powers like powers of the Third Eye, powers of Sahasrara Chakra are available in the awakened state. All the powers that relate to matter and which require physical manifestation are available in the alive state. The deities energised by the living Avatar are in the alive+alive state. The alive states of consciousness can be accessed only by initiation by an incarnation. They cannot be accessed in any other way, by any self effort or spiritual practice. Only the One who is already established in the alive + alive state can pull people from other states of consciousness into the alive states of consciousness.
This whole has to be only given. You can't do anything about it. It is simply, completely the zone of the Master.”
