Sigmund Freud divided human consciousness into 4 levels of awareness: conscious, preconscious, unconscious, and collective unconscious. The collective unconscious is the deepest level of the psyche, containing the accumulation of inherited psychic structures and archetypal experiences. In this work we will examine Consciousness from the Hindu Vedic and eastern perspectives, which also has 4 levels of conscious awareness each built upon the lower: 1 Simple Consciousness A basic awareness of nature and one's own body which all living things possess. 2. Self Consciousness An awareness not only of nature and one's own body, but also of oneself as a distinct entity, believing your physical body is the real you and the world of forms and substance is all there is. 3. Sub Consciousness The subconscious mind includes things that we might not be presently aware of but that we can pull into conscious awareness when needed. 4. Cosmic Consciousness A superconscious awarenes of the inner divinity of all living things and the forces and principles that govern the universe. Turiya is an ancient Hindu Sanskrit word meaning "the fourth." This superconscious state is the state of unity consciousness, pure bliss-Ananda. 130 pages, Large Print, Paperback, 8 ? x 11.
