Rejuvenation, sleep and unconscious longevity

Frederic recalls the sleep series distinction between sleep and rest, and the claim that a figure such as Abraham lived some 900 years by rejuvenating his body unconsciously, and asks whether that can only be done unconsciously.

The Wonders confirm Abraham did it unconsciously, without thinking about it, that portion being active in him, but say virtually no one is at that stage now and it would require a true awakening.

Rejuvenation can be achieved consciously: they note that a 20-minute meditation can be worth two or three hours of sleep, that one hour of the radiance technique equals four hours of sleep, and that Asimaya is another such technique.

The obstacle is that in waking life most people never fully rejuvenate even while using these techniques, because their minds stay busy solving puzzles; one must suspend that part of the mind for ten, fifteen, twenty minutes or half an hour of thought without thinking.

This can be done deliberately by declaring that for the next ten minutes one enters a full, aware yet quiet state, after which the body rejuvenates.

They add that Abraham's ability was not learned from previous lifetimes but was a soul awareness that permeated his unconscious portion.
