Dullness
From The SpiritWiki
Dullness John Richards translation of the Sanskrit word tamas (तमस्), used in the Crest Jewel of Wisdom to indicate Normal Consciousness[1]
Syncretic Terms
Normal Consciousness > Dullness, Normalcy, Ordinary Consciousness, Paramount Reality, Rational Consciousness, Usual Consciousness
Notes
तमस् is literally translated as mental darkness, illusion, darkness, ignorance, darkness of hell(!). Thus, dullness is perhaps not the best word here..
