16:40 - spiritual experiences are states (and can be experienced at any level/stage)
18:04 - there are four major stages of meditation
18:11 - these are the major states of consciousness
18:18 - gross to subtle to causal to nondual
18:22 - the traditions identify four or five major states of consciousness - waking, dreaming (subtle awareness), deep formless sleep, witnessing (turiya), turiyatita (nondual)
18:51 - although these states will tend to unfold in this order, they are fairly fluid
19:04 - a peak experience of a higher state can happen because they are always present in all at all times
19:15 - but peak experiences of structures can't happen
19:51 - you can experience any state while being at any structure

22:31 - line development is uneven
23:48 - peak experiences are interpreted from the level the experiencer or the surrounding culture is centered at
