Intermediate zone

In Sri Aurobindo's philosophy, the Intermediate zone refers to a dangerous and misleading transitional spiritual state between the ordinary consciousness and true spiritual realisation.[1]

Similar notions can be found in mystical literature, such as "the astral plane" and "the hall of illusion."[2] The Theosophist W. Q. Judge used the similar notion of "astral intoxication".[3]
