Eugene begins with the statement: “Mediation is providing a middle between two extremes.” We know about these two extremes from experience; order and chaos. He asks: “What would we be like if we had no bodies but simply a kind of presence, a kind of being, but not focussed on a body?” Like the ocean. To be a body you must have a perimeter. Without this, you cannot be a ‘self’. The Absolute, Sentient Power moves by positing a point of initiation, a zone of focus. Consciousness must be focussed. When we sleep we are not conscious but we are aware. “Unconsciousness does not mean you are not aware, it simply means that you are not ‘k-onscious’, you haven’t got a sharp focus.” (Like the ocean.) To be conscious you must have focus; of a body, or a form (idea) of a body in the mind. But we are always aware because we cannot be otherwise. “…because, factually, you are sentient power; you are power that feels itself.” Between the state of deep, unconscious sleep, (causal), and awake object-consciousness, (gross), is a middle state, subtle, of dreams.If we did not have gross bodies we would have no evidence that our experiences in the world were real. They could be just hallucinations. In the dream world the forms are vague and we do not collide with them as we do with physical ones. The energy in those forms is not compacted enough. A dream is emotional energy which passes from one form to another without stability. Our external waking awareness is objective, but the dream awareness is subjective.
