I forgot:

Being totaly aware/awake is certainly a very important aim in the spiritual development. And certainly there are several ways and techniques to reach this. Beside this higher consciousness there are many other possible aims which could be reached.

Most people are truly in a kind of dreaming state although they think of themselves as awake. They are dreaming their lives down here in the material world. But once there comes a time when everyone awakes to true life.

Hello Vidadah,

thank you for taking part in this discussion. I try to answer your questions:

1. How can I be sure that this kind of experience are not a dream ? Which category was it ?
The whole topic is probably not easy to understand as it deals with higher laws of nature and other planes of life/existence and last but not least it depends on scientific, empiric – practical experiments,- own experiences.

The self-surrender is not complete. There are still subtle Moha, subtle desires and
egoism. The Indriyas are still powerful and outgoing. These are the obstacles. When these are
removed, you can hear the shrill, sweet, inner voice of God. Impure souls mistake the voice of
the impure mind for the voice of God.

From „May I answer that“ by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963). More Informations on…
