Deep Sleep Is Awareness of Absence

A woman asks about what remains awake during the transition into deep sleep and deep meditation. Rupert clarifies that it is awareness itself that stays awake; deep sleep isn’t an absence of awareness but awareness of absence. The mind shuts down gradually, leaving awareness fully alert on its own. Over time, the perceived darkness of deep sleep lightens up.
