Notes

According to Carpenter[2], ordinary consciousness is the second of three stages of consciousness.

  • Simple Consciousness (knower, knowledge and thing known undifferentiated)
  • Ordinary Consciousness (differentiation of knower, knowledge, and thing known)
    • Consciousness of self
    • Consciousness of object
  • Cosmic Consciousness (realization of fundamental unity and oneness of creation)
    • a superior, "perfect" form of consciousness,
