I believe there is a universal consciousness.

When we sleep, we are in another consciousness, as when we are under anesthetics.

We are not aware of anything.

I believe that every thought we have ever had is a part of the universal consciousness.

It does not die with the body. It is immortal. We should cherish and nurture our thoughts.

Our moments when we are awake are not the "real" reality. They are only perceptions of what we observe, in my opinion.

Our consciousness is like daylight and night.

The light is the universal consciousness.
