244Are you saying that Cosmic Consciousness is being awake while you%u2019re asleep? That doesn%u2019t make much sense.People who are experiencing this describe it as a quiet inner awareness that their body is deeply sleeping or dreaming. Research shows that it%u2019s even better quality sleep. People experiencing signs of Cosmic Consciousness report having an increasingly stable, unchanging, inner sense of their cosmic Self, through all the busy activity of their lives, while they%u2019re dreaming, and even along with the silence of deep sleep. This persistent cosmic awareness, %u201cwitnessing,%u201d is an inner awareness of the coming and going of activity, dreams, and sleeping.It%u2019s a feeling of inner evenness all the time that doesn%u2019t depend upon what%u2019s happening in one%u2019s life.OK, I get it. Sleep with inner awareness is better sleep. But what about the rest of the time?Research on people experiencing signs of Cosmic Consciousness during activity shows that they have a higher level of brain integration.Remember, higher brain integration indicates that the different parts of the brain are working together better. It%u2019s like the difference between a band tuning up and a band playing together.
