anymore, as it draws its last breath, there is again the briefest of glimpses of
an awakening, followed by another dream of form.

sleep, the identification of consciousness with form. It was a necessary stage
in the evolution of consciousness.
The human brain is a highly differentiated form through which
consciousness enters this dimension
