In the last few episodes, we embarked on a journey through some of the deepest philosophical ideas. We explored the perspectives that the ancient Indian sages held regarding consciousness. The most important part of that discussion was the astonishing and mind-boggling state of consciousness known as Turiya, which appears to lie beyond all experience-based reasoning.
To the modern, rational mind, the idea of the Turiya state may seem like a beautiful speculation. It may appear to be a poetic, idealistic, and unrealistic concept. Therefore, a skeptic may ask, "Did anyone really live in such a state? Or is it nothing more than a fictional story from ancient psychology?"
Today, I would like to present an argument that this Turiya state is not merely imaginary. We may not be able to prove Turiya scientifically. However, we can examine documented incidents from the lives of people who lived in this state—people who lived among us, not centuries ago, but only a few decades ago—real-life events that were recorded without any glorification.
