Actually speaking there are seven states of consciousness. They are
Waking
Dreaming
Sleeping
Transcendental
Cosmic
God
Unity
Usually all of us definitely are enjoying three states of consciousness. These are waking, dreaming and sleeping.
But there comes a fourth state of consciousness named as transcendental consciousness. This establishes that we are beyond thinking yet we are alert. Hence the mind is in a state of restful alert.
This state is rarely attained by all of us only at random. But to sustain this we have to practice a technique of performing meditation.
If this state is sustained to such an extent that it exists through out 24 hours then this will be termed as another state of consciousness. This is named as Cosmic consciousness. With this cosmic state we come to know that there is some driving force apart from us. This is named as God consciousness and then it is so immediate to reach the last ie seventh state of consciousness called unity consciousness. Here 'I' am the only one present for ever and every where, ie beyond time and beyond space.
Hence the statement. Aham Brahmasmim.
