De-constructing Reality Labyrinth (I)

De-constructing the Reality Labyrinth - Introduction

Reality is a Labyrinth, not Maze (see the picture below). The rule is simple: automatically we were threw into the entrance after birth. We then traverse through the seven roundabouts. Along the way we might choose to stop, to watch, to collect rewards, or to dwell. Occasionally few might decide to follow the mysterious drums they heard from nowhere, and to go deeper. After many twists and turns there is the center. From there, an even more difficult pathway will lead to the exit.
The exit happens to be adjacent to entrance. Both hang the the same (labyrinth) instruction: "You are the world" (J. Krishnamurti). 

The followings are blueprint of this Reality Labyrinth:


(1) Entrance:
You are the center of your subjective world.

(2) The Seven-Circuit:
The "world-knot" - the circular-layered construct of the subject/objective.


(3) Center:
Lights on nobody home.

(4) Returning:

The Inner-Outer Correspondences.

(5) Exit:
You are the center of the "inter-subjective" world.

Four states of consciousness
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandukya_Upanishad#Muktika_Upanishad

The Mandukya Upanishad describes four states of consciousness, namely waking (jågrat), dreaming (svapna), and deep sleep (suṣupti),[web 1][web 2] which correspond to the Three Bodies Doctrine:

    The first state is the waking state, in which we are aware of our daily world. "It is described as outward-knowing (bahish-prajnya), gross (sthula) and universal (vaishvanara)".[web 2] This is the gross body.

   The second state is the dreaming mind. "It is described as inward-knowing (antah-prajnya), subtle (pravivikta) and burning (taijasa)".[web 2] This is the subtle body.

    The third state is the state of deep sleep. In this state the underlying ground of concsiousness is undistracted, "the Lord of all (sarv'-eshvara), the knower of all (sarva-jnya), the inner controller (antar-yami), the source of all (yonih sarvasya), the origin and dissolution of created things (prabhav'-apyayau hi bhutanam)".[web 2] This is the causal body.
  The fourth factor is Turiya, pure consciousness. It is the background that underlies and transcends the three common states of consciousness.[web 3] [web 4] In this consciousness both absolute and relative, saguna brahman and Nirguna Brahman, are transcended.[30] It is the true state of experience of the infinite (ananta) and non-different (advaita/abheda), free from the dualistic experience which results from the attempts to conceptualise ( vipalka) reality.[31] It is the state in which ajativada, non-origination, is apprehended.
