This is straight from the Buddhist trikaya (three-bodies) doctrine, as well as the Hindu Sarira Triya (Three Body Doctrine), of waking physical sensory perception, dreaming, and then deep dreamless state. The fourth state, of course, would be turiya in Hindu yoga, including yet transcending these three states of awareness.

There is only cognition without a cognizer subject or cognized objects. The cognizer is the cognized and the cognized is the cognizer. The body is the world and the world is the body. The body generates a brain projected world and the world generates a brain injected body. When Consciousness sees all this for what it really is and is not, it has become truly aware and intelligent.

Most so-called “thinkers” do not realize that the thinker is the thoughts and the thoughts are the thinker. This abstract duality is an illusion, just as the subtle mental or psychic dichotomy of dreamer and dream is an illusion. So, cognition as such can be physical sensory, subtle pictorial or causal abstract. Three false subjects are dwelling in three false universes. Self or subject is identified with three levels of body. Only in a Fourth State beyond can there be a potential noumenal self, but that Self has not been activated through the long ages of cognition. So it is not that there is a Self Who identifies Itself with some level of body as a phenomenal subject. Instead, the body is reflecting transcendental Voidness as cognition as an illusory cognizer of an illusory cognized realm of objects. Thus even cognition itself is a nondual illusion that mirrors Nothingness and Reality, which are one and the same as cosmic polarity of Spirit and Matter. When fusion of Nothingness and Reality is merged with the fusion of Spirit and Matter, Self of Noumenal Being is activated as Self-realization as Immediate Awareness of Being in Everyone and Everything. But no brain-ego is equipped to reach such a goal, nor is such an illusory brain-ego able to validly deny ultimate Awareness of Being as Reality and Nothingness. Absolute Reality as Being is the philosophy of Vedanta; Absolute Nothingness is the philosophy of Mahayana Buddhism.
