Divided consciousness theory of hypnosis states that the consciousness is separated during hypnosis. This means that the person being hypnotized is both aware and unaware of what is happening because there is a split in the consciousness.
asleep and awake
Altered states of consciousness.
The four states of consciousness are waking, dreaming, deep sleep, and a fourth state known as transcendental consciousness. Waking consciousness is when we are alert and aware of our surroundings. Dreaming consciousness occurs during REM sleep when we experience vivid dreams. Deep sleep is a state of unconsciousness where there are no dreams. Transcendental consciousness is a state of deep restful awareness where the mind is completely settled and at peace. These states differ in terms of awareness, activity of the mind, and level of restfulness.
Consciousness can vary in depth and clarity, ranging from everyday alertness to deep meditative states or altered states of consciousness induced by drugs or hypnosis. It can also include levels of awareness during dreaming or deep sleep. Each level of consciousness offers a unique perspective on reality and the self.
Examples of altered states of consciousness include meditation, hypnosis, drug-induced states, dreaming, and near-death experiences. These states involve changes in perception, awareness, and thoughts outside of the normal waking state.
Yes possible! In reality we all of us enjoy three states of consciousness. They are: Waking, dreaming and sleeping. But there is fourth major state of consciousness named transcendental state in which mind is fully alert. In such a state we can feel the entry into the sleeping state and the starting point of dreaming too. If such alertness is for 24 hours ie day and night, that new state is named as cosmic consciousness. Whole cosmos could be easily understood being in that state of consciousness. After cosmic consciousness state there are two more states. Hence totally Seven States of Consciousness.

States of consciousness do vary over the course of the day. For example, we cycle through different stages of sleep such as REM and non-REM sleep. Additionally, factors like stress, caffeine intake, and energy levels can influence our alertness and level of consciousness throughout the day.
Photons are particles of light that do not possess consciousness. Consciousness is typically associated with self-awareness, perception, and the ability to experience subjective states, which photons do not have the capacity for.
Subjective Conscience: it is ours, we are responsible for how we decide. Objective Conscience: it transcends our individualistic, private notion and binds us, calling us, out of ourselves in relation to others and to God.
