Four Aeons and States of Consciousness

This table of Aeons is derived from the wonderful work of Maggie Ingalls, inventor of Maat Magick. I believe that we have choice as to which of these states of Human Consciousness we want to access. Because contemporary people are living in the Aeon of Maat, we have free belief which lets us investigate former structures of spirituality, ego-developments and states of awareness. 

Dream consciousness is a trance state in which pictorial imagination can be interacted with spontaneously. 

Magical consciousness can be experienced as interactions with many daimonic intelligences in whom we are immersed, while also maintaining our human distinction. 

Rational consciousness is the structure of awareness of our modern materialist, science-based culture. 

Double consciousness is similar to Rudolf Steiner's "consciousness-soul" which he considered to be emerging globally as a way of dwelling in ego-distinction as well as the Higher Self at the same time.
