"My mind can influence the world around me. Effort and attentiveness can shake us out of the "robot" mode of living and into intentional glorious life. Activities that challenge the mind lead to a better consciousness over mindlessly doing something. The "intentional doing" does not have to be something "big". Just concentrate driving the car or walking rather than just "mindlessly" doing anything.
There are 7 levels of "consciousness", 0. deep sleep 1. dream consciousness 2. merely awake 3. nausea, dejected, greyness, boredom 4. ordinary, the average state 5. sunny day 6. Magic/Christmas day 7. Faculty X (where other times and places are real and present) 8. Mystical"
