Each breath is one of 21,600 opportunities each day to come into consciousness.  Spiritual training is the process of taking those aspects of ourself that are in the 'Unconscious Column' and moving them into the 'Conscious Column', including the fourth state of Consciousness, which is most easily seen in the space between the breaths through the use of the SOHAM mantra.  This talk was given the day before the 2007-2008 New Year's Retreat.  55 minutes in length.
