A Vortex is an abstract principle, similar to a number. Take the number 5, for example. By itself, it does not exist in the perceptible, physical world. What exists are five apples, five fish, and so on. Yet the meaning of “five” is something we share and understand. This does not make it any less real - we intuitively know that it exists. You look at it and you know it is there. A Vortex is like a property that cannot be directly described, but can be perceived. We take it for granted and see it as automatic, which is why it escapes our notice. Whole abstract systems -mathematics, language, logic - are built on such principles. Now imagine an abstract body. It is transparent and has no clearly defined boundaries. Such a body must have a center of gravity - a middle point. This is true even if it were alive and constantly changing its shape. You might imagine a different body than I do, but both will still have a center. There can be countless such bodies or systems. They may overlap, which is why it helps to imagine them as transparent. Each of these spheres has a center. And these centers form other systems that, in turn, also have their own centers. This process can continue infinitely. The energetic potential of these centers increases, especially when connected with consciousness. Consciousness can move from one state to another, or from one sphere to another - yet it remains the same consciousness.

Such transitions may occur in meditation, in the threshold between sleep and waking, or in other boundary states of awareness. These are often called transcendental states. What consciousness passes through in such moments is the vortex. It can be described, figuratively, as a tunnel.
