velante says consciousness continues ijust there is nothing to be conscious of. We often think that, from our point of view, it's unconscious. So we've already got three aspects. The first aspect is the waker. Through the physical body, we interact with the world. That's the waking state. From there emerges waking. Can you see the dream? Can we look at the deep sleep as a seed from which sprouts our waking experience,. Our dreams take place entirely in our minds. Second aspect is called subtle aspect. And third one, deep sleep, that is called by the openishelt, the causal aspect. These three are we are just repeating back to you
