I have even given it my own name, the conscious shift
Describing the contant momentum and flow of our state of mind.
Meditation is quite useful to observe this yourself.
My theory is that you develop the first state within the comfort of the womb, it is contrasted with the suffering of your first shift your birth , your early existence is you in confusion trying to shift back to that first comfort, you can’t but end up finding something similar in your mothers lap.
As you age the shifts form patterns: sleep itself, the groggy feeling after waking up, you washing down that feeling it with caffeine. You try to stay focused at work, then you try and relax as you come home. We are always trying to travel to the comfort states we know.
Learn the patterns and you control your life.
This is also how drug addiction form btw (in my subjective observation) when the patterns off the conscious shift are so that its the only state where you are comfortable.
