Sleep. Where everything is One, or could be

Sleep is as essential to homeostasis as any of the physiologically recognized systems, e.g renal, endocrine etc.

We ignorantly call it rest but the brain is probably at its most connected to self with outside stimuli shut out. It's at its most fulfilled.

The brain activity with slower gamma bursts is nourishment to the soul if I may indulge in this spiritual drift for a moment, risking skidding off the pad without ABS/medical science back up. We're born in a world where the perception is all we know about self, once introduced into western civilization. We need the ego to disappear to connect. We can't possibly stay lost forever? 

Dissociative anesthesia with kétamine-like drugs is not something most of us tend to use, being such control freaks. This though is the closest one can possibly get away from one's body while still alive, literally speaking. 

No one wants to operate on anyone moving around or talking. This though is probably is the window to the fact that sleep, general anesthesia, far eastern touch points even death are just staggered states of consciousness in a parallel sphere. 

Parallel spheres we need to interface with or step into to regas. Parallel spheres where One is suprême. No duality of contrast here. Sleep, glorious sleep without vultures in the background, so to say. That parallel sphere where pain is foreign. Where one is holding Judas close. Friends gap close. Did someone mention meditation? 

A newborn can be operated on without much analgesia until he learns what pain is, in our perception drenched world context. The spinothalamic tract is there, but the cortical interpretation is diffusé still. It's using the parallel sphere its just escaped still. I am in no way minimizing the adaptation that pain gives us to survive the rat race. 

The bigger picture might help reduce our pathological fear of death if we paused to dissect and analyze it . All variables considered, we need death just as much, probably more than life itself. We were dead before we were alive. Now you hopefully get the picture Lazarus had as he was yanked out of paradise and home. Ice age II ré run.

If  biochemistry and physiology of beauty and health are the elements of every mix, then results are assured
