There are four states of consiousness we commonly know of that have or don’t have thoughts and that have or don’t have awareness. The waking state has thoughts and awareness. The dream state has thoughts but no awareness. Next the deep sleep state has no thoughts and no awareness. The last state of consciousness called Turiya or the fourth state is where there are no thoughts but total awareness. This state of Turiya is the state of eternal bliss.

Dreams have a heavier energy level than the experience of a state of consciousness that is closer to the Turiya state. This so far unknown state for me had a distinct lightness, a different energy level, an energy of higher frequency. Paramahamsa Nithyananda says that there are more than four states of consciousness.

There is another world or dimension out there beyond our logical conception, and not of feeling and emotion but beyond it: open to all possibilities where everything is play, play with energy and creativity. A dimension of consciousness and creativity that is beyond words which are too clumsy, and beyond visual expression in art. Any human way of expression is too limited. Only experience makes it “real”. Perhaps I can call it “surreal a la Dali”, but only in its visual expression. The inner experience is the only thing that counts and makes meaning – but how to convey, express it? Any attempt of expression can only be termed as “surreal”.

Why even surreal is a wrong word. What is real anyways? Perhaps after all this is only a dream and the “other” world or dimension is real; perhaps we truly are spiritual energy beings. We’ll know when we are fully awakened. The two things needed to fully awaken to one’s Self and higher creativity are meditation and feeling connected to a living enlightened master who can guide and inspire. If you got both you are lucky. So the only thing left is time. Time will take care of the ultimate experience of awakening to your true nature to happen. Then truly radiating bliss will happen and stay with you forever.
