In developing further main states of consciousness, particularly the sixth and seventh, the universal influence of the self on the thinking becomes greater and greater – and from the opposite side, or the other side, – the influence of the neurophysiology on thinking becomes accordingly less and less.

In the seventh main state of consciousness the light-influence of the self on thinking is so strong, that you have the impression, thinking would be the direct expression of the activity of the shining cosmic sun of the self.

At the same time in this seventh main state of consciousness the light-influence of the self on the thinking is so small, that you think it would not exist. This means, in this seventh main state of consciousness man has realized a natural unity of all dynamic life processes in his self as well as in their reflection in his mind – just as if he would hold a concave mirror of highest clarity directly towards the shining sun of his self – where then the dynamic processes of this universal life sun reflect in the mirror of his thinking: reflect in his mind as pure consciousness, as if suddenly it would be the sun itself.

If you then look in your inside towards the mirror: towards your mind or towards the shining sun of your self, then you think to see no difference concerning the luminosity, and you ask yourself: what actually is here the mirror and what the sun?

For this reason this seventh main state of consciousness is called not by chance “unity consciousness”. By nature this unity consciousness releases only universal knowledge, into which the cosmic knowledge is integrated – here the shining self of cognition reveals the aspect of “universality” and the shining mirror of consciousness reveals the aspect of the “cosmic”.
The aspect of the universal is grasped by our feeling and its fruit is universal creativity.

And the aspect of the cosmic in consciousness is grasped by our understanding and its fruit is the power of cosmic cognition.
And it is left to the performance of the intellect, to integrate feeling and understanding, respectively to weigh the universal up against the cosmic and to bring them into line and thus to realize, or maintain, in coordination with the harmony laws of nature and under the protection of the cosmic life breath the unity of universal creativity and cosmic power of cognition – simply: unity consciousness: the natural basis of the unity of the person.

To express this in respect to the world of the objective, the Chinese use the sign of Ying and Yang – and to express this in respect to the world of the subjective, they use the symbolism of that dragon of the mind dancing around the golden sun-ball: the thinking in the process of self-cognition. The natural breeding ground for a knowledge, which can make the claim to be established on the level of “truth”, can therefore only arise in the eigenfunction of this unity consciousness: in between the exchange of universal and cosmic knowledge of being and consciousness – beyond space and time.
