Perspective

[Bob May]

"According to other traditions, Vedanta for instance, there are at the very least four states with many perceptual degrees in between:


Waking, dreaming, dreamless and beyond the three states (Turiya)


Each state is related to a particular attention and subtle body."




In the Qabala there is the G'uph, (physical), Nephesh (animal soul), Ruach (intellect), Neshamah (intuition), Chiayah (life force), Yechidah (Higher self).




This is the "Coats of skins" (plural, skins) that are given to mankind when leaving the "Garden" in Genesis. Which skin we use is dictated
by which plane we are functioning upon.




"...at the very least four states with many perceptual degrees in between:.."




I believe there are demacation points, but I have the feeling that it is all more of a continuum. Kind of like a rainbow. No hard and fast lines, but at some
points we all agree that red has turned to orange and green has turned to blue.




I know from experience that there is a place where demons cannot follow.
