waking state, spans all activity, composed of being up and active, asleep, or dreaming. It is a common state of consciousness. The silence, or sense of buffering, and peacefulness, that comes from deliberate acts for spiritual growth, like yoga, is either absent, or easily upset. The subjective sense of self is largely limited to a body-centric identity. That's "waking state", and it has very little to do with what a person does in their life, whether a POTUS, priest, or average joe.
