We’re each capable of experiencing five distinct states of mind.
Think of a Boston parking garage with five levels: 1, L3, L2, L1, B.
(1) Conscious Mind – this is our “normal” state of mind: the above-ground level in the parking garage analogy. This mental state is characterized by words, including the voice in our head; transcending this mental state is associated with the end of attachment.
(L3) Sub-conscious Mind – closest to Conscious Mind; thus, the energetically densest of the three sub-conscious mental states; transcending this mental state is associated with the end of sorrow – superseded by serenity as sensuality dissipates.
(L2) Sub-conscious – the middle of three energetic sub-conscious mental states; transcending this mental state is associated with the end of fear – superseded by faith as memory’s affects subside.
(L1) Sub-conscious – the energetically subtlest [quietest] sub-conscious mental state; closest to Consciousness; transcending this mental state is associated with the end of delusion – superseded by wisdom as ego becomes less energized.
(B) Consciousness – this is where the parking garage analogy breaks down; there is no real world equivalent for something that isn’t affected by time and space. Think of this level as the “X” on a three dimensional map of the parking garage [think treasure map!]! Transcending Mind altogether – union with our Self – is associated with indescribable Bliss: the state of yoga.❤😊🕉
Tap into the power within: meditate.
