Q: What do you do when asleep? A: I am aware of being asleep. Q: Is not sleep a state of unconsciousness? M: Yes I am aware of being unconscious. Q: I do not catch you. What exactly do you mean? Let me make my terms clear: by being asleep I mean unconscious, by being awake I mean conscious, by dreaming I mean conscious of one's mind, but not of the surroundings. M: Well, it is about the same with me. Yet there seems to be a difference. In each state you forget the other two, while to me there is but one state of being, including and transcending the three mental states of waking, dreaming and sleeping. >From "I AM THAT" Warm Alohas, Its cloudy here for a change Love, Alton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
