An Absolute Unitary State

“When you are dreaming, you are also in a primary knowing state.

Every other state of reality is relegated to an inferior experience of reality,

and you deal with your dream as if it is unquestionably real.

Of course, the moment you wake up and are back in baseline reality,

your usual immediate reaction is to acknowledge that you have been dreaming,

and then the dream state is immediately relegated to an inferior experience of reality.

However, this is not the case with the absolute unitary state.

When a person experiences this state, not only do they perceive it to be real when they are in it,

but even when they are no longer in it,

the brain keeps telling them that that experience represented the true reality.

A knowing state that involves the perception of absolute unity is clearly

in the realm of the spiritual brain.

The absolute unitary state has a very peculiar aspect to it.

There is no experience of the self.

Because of this, those who experience this state

have the perception of going beyond their own ego’s thoughts.

Whenever you are in one primary knowing state, you perceive that state to represent reality

above all other states.

When you wake up from a dream, the dream is less real.

However, this is not the case with the absolute unitary state.

When a person experiences this state,

not only do they perceive it to be real when they are in it,

but even when they are no longer in it.”
