Sleep - plunged in psychic Sleep we can discover the meaning of life

07/20/2004

Everyday we see human beings running here and there, dynamic and enterprising. But, in fact, many are asleep. Yes, psychically, spiritually, they are in a deep sleep, which can be compared to sleep on the physical plane. Deep states of sleep are necessary on the physical plane because human beings have accumulated too many toxins, or else they have greatly weakened their organism through disorderly activities. This is why they not only need much more time to recuperate but why, when they wake up, they are still groggy and sluggish. In the same way, when people accumulate impurities in their hearts and minds, when they exhaust their energies in passionate emotions, they remain for a long time in a kind of psychic torpor. And it is this torpor of consciousness that prevents them from experiencing the beauty and meaning of life.
