Level of Awareness
SaintMat (Sant Mat) has described the four level of awareness, actually as human we have four main levels of awareness in the body, with three of which we are already familiar. From the lowest upward, these are:
- Deep sleep, associated with the naval centre, of which we know little;
- Dream state, associated with the throat centre, which we know too well as a daily aspect of our sleep and, for many, as part of our meditation experience too. The saints choose not to dwell on these states, preferring to bring us to the eye centre.
- Third is normal consciousness, with its headquarters at the eye centre, where the mind and soul are knotted together, the Masters tell us. In practice, our attention is normally spread all around the body and into the world from this point, which is why bringing it back is so hard;
- and fourth, super consciousness, the state of focused attention we achieve when the Master draws us within and opens our third eye.
Sant Mat is concerned with purifying and concentrating our normal consciousness at the eye centre, without artificial means, so that we awaken to the super consciousness level that is already there within us.
