subconscious and unconscious ways of being.
There are infinite levels of inner stillness and quietude of the
mind. In the profound experience of meditation, one can start to
witness the hallucinations that appear when awareness becomes
tranquil and disidentified enough to notice them. There are deep
layers to our consciousness, and every thought, belief, and
identification that we hold within us determines how we are, what
we feel, how we speak and how we perceive. It's how we are
vibrationally or energetically. When is the last time you checked in
with yourself and took a good look at what you were thinking or
felt how you were really feeling? This is another great habit to ask
yourself throughout the day. You can ask yourself at any time
during waking life, “What am I thinking?” and “What am I
feeling?”. Don’t respond to yourself mechanically. Simply be silent
and observe; awareness is all that is needed.
When is the last time you really looked around your
surroundings and became present without thought? When is the
last time you appreciated the things around you? If you can
remember when you last did that, consider how long you did it for
and whether you even valued those moments of presence. These
moments of being in the present moment, which should be our
natural state, are not frequent enough. Thus, we become lost and
trapped inside the imaginings and endless chatter in the skull. We
get caught up in what others say and in the world around us,
reacting to everything we see and offering a personal opinion on
any matter. We create stories in our head about our happy or sad
past, the problems we have in our present circumstances, and
possible difficulties or fortunes you may or may not come into in
the future. But consider, for one moment, of letting go of all of this.
Do you not feel more liberated and freer in doing so?
I am emphasising these points at length because these states of
consciousness are synonymous with our dreams, which are
absolutely responsive to our inner state. Therefore, such states can
