4 Steps of Consciousness

Phase 1: Sleep, the state of highest identification. It’s a passive and subjective status. Consciousness is not available due to the dream process. 

Phase 2: The waking state, half-sleep or relative consciousness. Most of the population live in this status.

Phase 3: Self-awareness or self-remembrance. In this status we become objective toward ourselves.

Phase 4: Objective consciousness; we can know nothing about this state because we are too far from it. The term, however, implies the opportunity of gaining objective knowledge of everything.
