Are Lucid Waking and Turiya the Same?

A man talks about lucid waking and the continuity of consciousness throughout the three states and asks if lucid waking and Turiya the same. Rupert suggests that Turiya is about recognising the three states as impermanent and limited, they appear and disappear. The Vedantic tradition says that there is something constant that lies behind the three states, which makes consciousness a fourth state, but it’s not. It is beyond states. Lucid waking is when, in the presence of the world, we recognise consciousness shining in and as the world.
