    A few months ago I was practicing observation alot.
    (maybe too much) And it enabled me to remain
    conscious of the sleep images instead of actually
    falling asleep. I noticed there were varying degrees
    of sleep and awakeness. Between consciousness and
    unconsciousness, this was "the fullest intensity" of
    sleep and waking at the same time. I had full control
    of thoses images but I was not rationally awake. So I
    was willfully combining those image-ideas with each
    other through negation and synthesis. It was like
    thinking "dark, no light; suffering, no learning to
    become happy; I'm lazy, no I don't identify with
    that." Eventually I reached a point where all the
    ideas and images formed a single point, and they were
    all connected together. This produced a huge amount
    of energy that ran through the body like a bolt of
    lightning and gathered at the crown. The state of
    mind was not rational and felt like insanity. The
    main thing that produced this was negative-negative
    thinking with observation throughout the day, which
    transfered to the semi sleep state. How would you
    explain the synthesis of those sleep-images in
    magickal terms? Is the final state the EOM? I don't
    think it was because the mind wasn't really empty, it
    was full and there were no more opposites. Also, in
    EOM are you not aware of yourself as an ego?

    Sincerely,
    Dustin
