Exploring the Deep Sleep State and the Illusions of Life and Death
Do we leave our bodies when sleeping? This is a profound question, and one that invites us to explore the intricate realms of consciousness and the nature of existence. To understand this, let's delve deeper into the mysterious states of consciousness, particularly the deep sleep state, and consider the ancient wisdom about life and death.
The Turiya State and Deep Sleep
Deep sleep is the fourth state of consciousness, and it is commonly referred to as the Turiya state. During this state, all your energies in the body and mind are reclaimed at the center source of consciousness. Your mind dissolves, and your body's functions occur in the best way possible because your brain is in the process of 'rest and digest.' Essentially, your ego dies during deep sleep, which is why you often feel refreshed and rejuvenated upon waking.
The Illusions of Life and Death
, the concept of life and death are often perceived as absolute realities. However, according to certain philosophical and spiritual beliefs, these are just illusions—a collective conspiracy to maintain the status quo. Here's how it works:
According to this perspective, you die all day long but keep going because for every death that occurs, your consciousness switches to a different illusion, in which you remain alive. When you sleep, you process all the deaths that you experience during the day. This dissolution and reformation of consciousness is a key part of the human experience.
You, as a five-dimensional being, have extensions that go beyond the three-dimensional realm, which is often referred to as a 'lower-order' dimension. In these five dimensions, you are considered eternal. Here on Earth, you are ephemeral and can wink out of existence at any time.
A collective illusion is maintained in the form of the shared consciousness of your society, ensuring that everyone always perceives you as alive and well, regardless of the harms or illnesses you might face. Over time, however, this collective consciousness can degrade as the psychic health of individuals is compromised by 'social diseases'
The equinoxes and solstices are particularly significant times when you can perform rituals to enhance your rebirth in the individual matrix, helping you to achieve better health and well-being. Rituals during these times could help in aligning your individual energies with the cosmic frequencies, leading to a rejuvenated state.
The Difference Between Sleep and Death
While sleep does involve the body and mind entering a state of rest, it is fundamentally different from the cessation of life. When you die, various physical and energetic mechanisms shut down or stop. On a physical level, the heart stops beating, and blood circulation ceases. On a cerebral level, all brain activity ceases. Energetically, the central energy channel closes down, leading to the closure of the chakras. Ultimately, your soul—the energy that keeps you alive—leaves the body, releasing your life force.
During deep sleep, the body works in harmony with its basal metabolism, circulatory, and respiratory systems, while the energy part of the body remains active. The Hun, a spiritual part of the liver, does not leave the body, but rather enters a state of rest and rejuvenation. This is why you wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Unlike death, sleep is a temporary state where the ego and consciousness are reset, allowing for a new cycle of existence and renewal.
Understanding the deep sleep state and the illusions of life and death can offer profound insights into the nature of our existence and consciousness. By embracing this knowledge, we can approach sleep with a clearer understanding of its purpose and the implications it has on our overall well-being.
