Intermediate zone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about zone in philosophy. For the zone in the developing cerebral cortex, see Intermediate zone of cortex.
In Sri Aurobindo's philosophy, the Intermediate zone refers to a dangerous and misleading transitional spiritual state between the ordinary consciousness and true spiritual realisation.[1]
Similar notions can be found in mystical literature, such as "the astral plane" and "the hall of illusion."[2] The Theosophist W. Q. Judge used the similar notion of "astral intoxication".[3]
