Consciousness and functions

The meeting started with a reading from Ouspensky’s “The Fourth Way”, Chapter 3, on states of consciousness and functions.

This chapter explains there are four possible states or levels of consciousness. They are: sleep, waking state, self-consciousness and objective consciousness, but in our condition we only live in the lower two, one part of life spent in sleep and the other part when we are in the “waking state “.

The reading was followed by discussion on levels of consciousness and the functions of the mind.
