ALL Is One [Ellam Ondre]

 

"If you ask what that is, it is called Turiya, which means the fourth state. Why is this name used? This name is proper because it seems to say the three states of your experience – waking, dream and deep sleep – are foreign to you and your true state is the fourth, which is different from these three. Should the three states – waking, dream and deep sleep – be taken to form one long dream, the fourth state represents the waking from this dream. Thus it is more withdrawn than deep sleep, also more wakeful than the waking state. Therefore your true state is that fourth one which is distinguished from the waking, dream and deep sleep states. You are That only."
