Sleep vs Wakefulness in Soul Life
- Our soul life during sleep is often more important than waking thoughts.
- While awake, we are truly alert only in thoughts that relate to external reality, but dream-like in feelings and asleep in will.
Waking Will is Dreamless Sleep
- Our waking will is actually a deep, dreamless sleep.
- We know only intentions as thoughts, but the organism's will-act remains unconscious like sleep.
Awaken Thinking Through Meditation
- Sharpen thinking by internally concentrating on self-generated thoughts, not outer stimuli.
- Meditative focus makes thinking alive and formative, revealing its true nature beyond shadows.
