Shift in consciousness, in-between states

[Nau7ik]

Last night I was falling asleep and realized “it’s bed time.” So I began my prayer and I nodded off somewhere in the middle. But I heard a kind of echo, which was not an audible sound, in the “in between state”, as I like to call it. I woke back up, and I finished my prayer and went to bed.

This in-between state is fascinating! You can consciously observe your mind while entering into it if you’re paying attention. I notice this quite often when I go to take a nap in the middle of the day. You are observing your mind. Strange thoughts occur and strange sounds and visuals are mentally heard/seen. (Less visual for me, but i recall hearing loud “sounds” that weren’t really sounds.) I recently heard someone speaking and saying that the mind is not being filtered in this state of consciousness so it seems like the thoughts are “out there”, let’s say.

Another way to consciously observe shifts in consciousness is through meditation. Again, if one is paying attention, one will notice these distinct shifts in mind. Sometimes I can enter into a state of deep calm, where my mind is silent and focused and my body is still. It’s an effortlessness ease when you’re in that state to just sit completely still and rest in the silence (random thoughts are no longer coming up). Tbh, I’ve only encouraged this calm a handful of times throughout the past two-three years. But it’s a clear shift, in my perspective.

Does anyone want to share their knowledge and experiences about these “in between states” or shifts in consciousness? Have you seen or heard anything interesting?

The in between state you speak of seems to be a situation in which things happening in time/space are more readily and directly recognizable by the conscious mind.

Nice observations...

I have had a lot of occurancess with such states and I Feel that I am able to explain them pretty well. So if you need me to elaborate let me know.... I have had states where I would see through the walls of my home into another room. Id see a tree that was behind my room glow in a brilliant golden color with a soothing wind blowing in the background. I am also able to hear my guardians speaking sometimes in this realm... Ive heard chorus singing of my angels..... the harp of a fairy... also the cold lips of a succubus tempting me while in dream state.... when I was meditating for a long time each day... I could use this state to do anything with 100% clairvoyance..... and I was able to look into the future and ask the universe whatever questions I wanted to know about. Other times I swear I was invisible or placed my physical body in between space to avoid be awakened..... also I have seen my higher self utilize my astral body to go to a meeting with other souls... haha

I have mostly been playing around with the state because .. i dont have names for this stuff and there is no brochure to look at lol.. and my apologies if it seems like I am bragging... its just fun and exciting to see someone doing it as well and I dont have anyone to really talk about these sort of things yet.

Very interesting! I think that might be the case here. The veil between the conscious and subconscious is thinner in the “in between” state of awake and asleep. And if we can retain a little conscious awareness we can observe it. Usually I experience this when I go to take a nap. Sometimes I’ll just be drifting in the middle of sleep and awake, rather than falling asleep.
