Welcome to the podcast, Sadguru, of Mystics and Mistakes.

0:14.3

Sushipti means it is a dreamless state, but there are dimensions of consciousness that you are aware of.

0:22.8

The neurological system in the body, if we have a way of monitoring that,

0:27.9

I think the entire art of anesthesia could raise to a different level at a very minimum interference.

0:38.5

When you disengage with memory, suddenly there is no past, present, and future,

0:43.3

so there is no time, because there is no time, there is no space.

0:48.2
