CONSCIOUSNESS means AWARENESS. As per TM, there are 7 States of
AWARENESS in two divisions; Lower Consciousness (contains Waking, Sleeping and
Dreaming varieties) and Higher Consciousness (on the lower and upper side
of TRANSCENDENCE or Transcendental Consciousness). Higher Consciousness
includes Cosmic Consciousness, God Consciousness and Unity Consciousness. In
all there are SEVEN states of Human Consciousness. Consciousness is चेतना in संस्कृत and जाणीव in Bhaarateey
languages..
In lower Consciousness field the man
considers egoist; takes credit for most of his activities (with pride) for
himself. Amongst all species only man can (try and) develop into higher
Consciousness field. To go to higher field भगवद्गीता gives us many routes like द्न्यान, योग, कर्म and भक्ति. Once you try to cross the
Transcendence, you are in a position to discard you EGO. Yo start feeling love
for others. Lot efforts are needed to establish in Higher Field since TC or तुरीय चेतना is an unstable boundry through which you are likely to slip to
lower C Field unless efforts are continued.
Once you start settling in Higher Field,
the यम and नियम (the first two ateps in अष्टांग योग of पातंजली You start
understanding or realizing what is TRUTH and also every material available in
the Universe is Divine and one can make its use for his purposes without
restriction, thogh he cannot store it with him or use it in creating more waste
from it. In Higher Field he loses his bad habits like Desires,
likes-dislikes as well as the षड्रिपू (Anger, Hate, Greed,
Attraction, Pride and Jealousy) from his life. You become aware of the
Cosmic Ocean of Information and Ebnergy that could be approach by your mind
once you carry out your संयम on your
requirement. After progressing beyond Cosmic C, the person is ovwerwhelmed
with one has so much love with him that he sees God everywhere. All activities
that he was claiming for himself in lower Field are now realized by him as they
are created by God for all. The love that you have developed so far
spreads to all species and even inanimate material. It overwhelms you and
include the God in it as well. When you progress further, you find that
God is no where else but whereever you are. All activitiese conducted by both
of you and hence are always effective. While you are established in Unity C,
You function as normal without any special efforts on your part. All your plans
and systems will be giving desired results, since the Natural Law adds its
force backing your activities and efforts. राजा जनक was a good example
of a person sustained in Unity C. This can be comapared with समाधि, the last step of अष्टांग योग. One has reached pinnacle in his development. He will continue to
live in this stage till his life span is (not) over. He is not to have any
further birth.
In case you want to know more
details you can refer to the book."SCIENCE OF BEING AND ART OF
LIVING Transcendental Meditation" (A Plume Book Publication) by महर्षि महेश योगी. by the
way श्री श्री रविशंकर, initiater of Art Of Living concept was a disciple of महर्षि महेश
You exist because of self-realization and it does not demand that you
should be mentally aware of the fact of self-realization. You, me, and the rest
of us exist and function even while we have no mental awareness of the
fact of self- realization. It is not something that we acquire by the process
called learning or academic experience. The potency called Spiritualism or
Spirituality establishes your existence in the physical, material world and if
you know or not, you are a self-realized soul at the time of your arrival into
this world.
