PETER HÜBNER: This absurdity is part of the first three states of consciousness – let us have a look at the situation: In relative waking consciousness – amounting to about two thirds of the day – they rely on that what others have preached to them in their education, or have disclosed to them. The fundamentals of these theories, however, they themselves have never examined authentically: others have done it for them and their students, who are more talented for that – like this they think.

Then they lie down to sleep: in their dreams they just meet confusion which they are unable to understand – the idea, that the chaos in their dreams could have something to do with the chaos of their theories in the waking state of consciousness, this idea they do not get: because they consider their theories in the waking state of consciousness to be orderly.

And then they fall asleep: sink into the unconsciousness of deep sleep and, in doing so, lose the awareness of their existence: they do not even know anymore that they exist: they are not existent anymore.

Then their brain gets again going somewhat more, and by and by they start to exist again – but this time enriched with a splash of fear of death: of course suppressed to the subconscious from where it attracts attention from time to time.

In his limited waking state of consciousness and in his dreams the professor uses always only his five senses of perception in order to supply himself with knowledge – the perception by means of his intellect is totally unknown to him: that is the reason why he actually sinks into deep sleep: why he entrusted himself, in terms of consciousness, to the fields of death: here he looks into his future – if he does not make a fundamental change in his life: if he does not learn to lead the eye of his soul out of the quagmire of the first three states of consciousness to the light of life.

And his soul, whose eye he is asked by Socrates and Plato to lead out of the quagmire of his life he led so far, this soul he never gets to know in the narrow bounds of his first three states of consciousness – and will probably never get to know it until his death: Therefore he looks, when he sinks into his deep sleep, into the only future that now remains to him: which he has earned himself by lazing around in cosmic idleness: he looks into the unconsciousness of death: when his brain stops to function, when it decays, then he ends up in pure unconsciousness – here the modern neuroscientists are definitely right, because, assessing people in the first three states of consciousness from the level of the first three states of consciousness, they are right: the journey from the first three states of consciousness leads into nothing – into pure unconsciousness.

Is that a goal worth striving for – when at the same there are totally different goals, when you can freely choose and head for other goals?

UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCES AND ARTS: No, without doubt not!

PETER HÜBNER: Then there is not spared anything to us to find means and ways to present the higher states of consciousness to these professors in a manner as understandable as possible – only then they can decide themselves freely for other, new cosmic ways of life or for the earthly way into nothing, by the help of the first three states of consciousness.

HUMAN DIGNITY WORLD FOUNDATION: For this reason we have gathered here and we can be quite satisfied with the results so far – may be we succeed to raise a storm of heading to the higher states of consciousness among the professors at the conventional universities.

EUROPEAN STUDENTS FORUM: And if not, then the students can raise this storm among their professors of heading for the higher states of consciousness- for the vast majority of them are true bread-scholars, and so many a one of them will have a thought or two about the matter before his students run away and he stands in front of an empty lecture hall.

UNIVERSITY WORLD FORUM: On the pressure from the side of the students we can probably count in any case – the student wants to experience something exciting in his boring existence: best something cosmic!

What does Socrates say or what reports Plato in that allegory of the cave:?

SOCRATES: “One must not believe Solon’s words, that an aging person can still learn a lot.
He is able to do this even less than he is able to ‘run’ well.

All big and persistent work is a matter of the young!”
(Socrates in Plato's “Republic”)

SOCRATES WORLD FOUNDATION: With this Socrates has given his judgment on the matter – for also he said this directly and solely in the context of advancing to the higher states of consciousness.
