Consciousness serves an evolutionary purpose. Conscious beings can make conscious decisions, which can be superior to automatic or instinctual decisions made by organisms that are not conscious. Better decisions lead to better survival.
Actually speaking there are seven states of consciousness. They are Waking Dreaming Sleeping Transcendental Cosmic God Unity Usually all of us definitely are enjoying three states of consciousness. These are waking, dreaming and sleeping. But there comes a fourth state of consciousness named as transcendental consciousness. This establishes that we are beyond thinking yet we are alert. Hence the mind is in a state of restful alert. This state is rarely attained by all of us only at random. But to sustain this we have to practice a technique of performing meditation. If this state is sustained to such an extent that it exists through out 24 hours then this will be termed as another state of consciousness. This is named as Cosmic consciousness. With this cosmic state we come to know that there is some driving force apart from us. This is named as God consciousness and then it is so immediate to reach the last ie seventh state of consciousness called unity consciousness. Here 'I' am the only one present for ever and every where, ie beyond time and beyond space. Hence the statement. Aham Brahmasmim.

Hypnosis is an 'altered state of consciousness' (ASC) that is qualitatively different from normal waking consciousness.
Consciousness to the neural world is quite different from the real consciousness of spirituality. Consciousness of spirituality is an awareness. Today you are awake, you are reading, you are listening, you are seeing. When you are not conscious, when you are unconscious, then you can't do this. You may be subconscious which means that your body may be in a state of unconsciousness, but your mind is still conscious. You are alive, you are breathing, you are dreaming, you are sleeping, but the neural world has no real explanation of consciousness. What happens at death when the consciousness departs? Where does the consciousness go? Where does consciousness come from? Therefore we must try to understand consciousness from a spiritual point of view, that way we will understand the meaning.
