In the following morning, Who is the one who remembers the day before? Who is the one that gets to the same level of consciousness?

There is a HUGE difference between being alone and being with yourself.

@Dodoster All good questions.

I have only a couple of comments. First on the title -

In Deep Sleep We Stop Thinking

Perhaps you mean that the Mind stops thinking. This is not my experience. The thinking continues. Try yoga-nindra, aka conscious sleep. It happens to me sometimes, I get conscious of whats going on in the mind in dreamless sleep (perhaps a side effect of trying to stay ultra-conscious during day). There is just a sequences of words, images and sounds, almost random, but seems to have a rough meaning, but its an illusion, like we hear voices in noise of a fan.

Probably there are pauses in thinking, but it cannot be confirmed. So why don't we find evidence of thinking in the morning? Its because the memory shuts down in deep sleep state. Whatever thoughts were there, did not get impressed on memory. You just conclude there were no thoughts. If you are interested, refer to the latest research on brain in deep sleep state. It is intensely active. Minds perform thousands of activities, "waking thoughts" is only one of them. Deep sleep is much more than what we know about it.

Consciousness has no levels. Or states. Mind has states.

Then same level of mind. Forget the Scolar bull*** excuse my french! Don't focus on the labels, focus on the thing the labels point to. I Am talking in my experience. I experience deep sleep, a point at which I stop existing, the world keeps going, but I disappear. Ego is Gone. There is no self there. There is pure white nothing, so I don't even remember it, so we cannot speak of it. But it's there.

How will people know what they point to? Especially the newbies. I got all your labels correctly and I can see that you are describing an experience. So its fine for me. I simply know what you mean, the comments are for others.

The world and "I" appear exactly at the same time. This is again, my own experience. :)

But in deep sleep you lose all perception, because you becomes 0. That's why you will never remember experiencing becoming true nothing. It can only happen in the present, but it cannot be spoken of with the inadequate labels of the English language. You can experience being infinity, fine, but you still don't experience that which you are in deep sleep (true nothing).
