(State 1 in TSOG) God in the Beyond Beyond State. God’s original state. Same as Sound Sleep. This state is entirely beyond any human conception. In this original state of God, even the prospect of consciousness is inconceivable.
(State 2A in TSOG) God in the Beyond State. God state before the Creation, before the soul (which is God) begins its journey. In the Beginning, when the Whim surges, both the unconscious and the conscious substates manifest simultaneously. It doesn’t matter that there is no realized “inhabitant” yet in the conscious substrate. The laws and the forms they create are latent in this Beyond State and when the Whim surges, they become attributes of the Universal Mind. According to these laws the subtle and the gross take form. In EOP they appear as lenses that are formed after Time and Space condition Perception. But Time, Space and Laws are just conditioning of Perception, they do not take any form. But when they manifest they form the percept. My colleague Stelios Karvias correctly points out that it is important to keep 2A, 2B, and 2C as one whole state because it is the tension of A towards B that brings about State 3. See The Ten States of God. It is this state that asks "Who Am I?"
(State 3 in TSOG) God as Emanator, Sustainer and Dissolver.
(State 4 in TSOG) God experiences Itself as the first three semi-gaseous, not quite physical, forms. “It is so very infinitely shapeless and substanceless, matterless and formless that it cannot lead one even to imagine that it is gross. Yet this form is the very first gross form that emerges simultaneously as if in three prongs, as the first three of the foremost seven "gas-like" forms.” This three-pronged semi-gaseous form is what scientists term the Quark. These first three forms have no evolution. Evolution begins with the fourth gas-like form in State 5 below.
- (State 5 in TSOG): God experiencing Itself in Evolution, from the fourth gas-like form (hydrogen atom is the seventh) up to monkey, whereby God as soul acquires consciousness. Baba has it that consciousness starts very gradually from the first gaseous states. In atom form it is almost nil. “Evolution begins with the fourth gas-like form.” Hydrogen is the 7th gas-like form and is the first to have an electron.
(State 6 in TSOG): God experiencing Itself as a human being in reincarnation, fully conscious but not yet on the spiritual path – trapped entirely in Maya with entirely material interests.
(State 7 in TSOG): God experiencing Itself as a human being on the spiritual path, still with a physical body, but with exotic internal experiences beyond ordinary gross experience. Less Maya, but still Maya.
(State 8 and 2B in TSOG): Majzoobiat. In this state only God (or Self) is experienced, and not the Illusion. Maya is wiped out for that soul. This is the same as State 2B below.(State 9 in TSOG): A person experiencing a state between Majzoob and Salik.
(State 2C and 10 in TSOG) State of God experienced by the living embodied Perfect Master or the Avatar while he is in a physical body on Earth, who takes experience of Reality and the Illusion at the same time in order to help emancipate souls.
- (2B and State 8 in TSOG) Fourth Journey, Vidnyan or Shambhala. State that the Avatar and all God-realized souls pass away into when they die. 4th Journey. Eternal Bliss. Power, knowledge, bliss but not used. God experiences Himself, but not the Illusion. For perfect masters substate 2B comes chronologically after substate 2C. It is the resting place of the masters, the Gray Havens in LOTR. Same as Majzoob State. From the point of view of the Majzoob, even in a body, there is no time and no journey. (Source)
