FIG XIII.3A and B. WAKING STATE AND SLEEPING

Dr. Samuel Sagan, Awakening the Third Eye, Clairvision+School Press, 1990

The upper complex (AB+Ego) is the seat of your consciousness. While you are awake [left], this upper complex penetrates the lower one (PB+EB), a bit like a hand enters a glove. In other words, your consciousness cognizes the physical world through the physical (and etheric) bodies.

When you fall asleep [right], the upper complex (AB+Ego) becomes disinterested in the lower one (PB+EB). It withdraws from it. Seen from outside, you lose consciousness, meaning you fall asleep. But in reality your consciousness is not lost, it is just somewhere else. Instead of cognizing the physical world, the upper complex (AB+Ego) wanders in different astral worlds, or sometimes in the higher realms of the Spirit. A vast range of planes can be experienced, some beautiful and regenerating, some grey and dull, some really noxious.
