States of Consciousness: The Seven Levels of Consciousness

States of Consciousness

The states of consciousness primarily experienced in the average human life are the well known states of Deep Sleep (1), Dreaming (2) and Waking (3). Our entire life seems to revolve around these three states and the transitions between them. However, beyond these every day states we experience, overseeing these common three lowest states, are some higher states of awareness.

There are four more known, higher states of consciousness as described by the sages and enlightened ones. These four remaining states that transcend and go beyond our every day experience of life, are: Transcendental Consciousness (4), Cosmic Consciousness (5), God Consciousness (6), and Unity Consciousness (7). Each of these states bring into the experience of the individual a new dimension of knowledge and inner fulfillment; each time one's experience becomes firmly rooted in a higher state, a new dimension and a part of completed enlightenment unfolds, is discovered, by that individual.
