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, Ordinary Consciousness, Paramount Reality, 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..
