There is one type of liberation no one speaks of. I have not seen it in any literature except for a brief commentary made by Ramana (the gravity and asteroid analogy). But even he himself did not go too much into detail about this. I will not speak about this in great detail either as it is useless for seekers. But the Sages know. It comes to those who are ready. It is not something the Sages need to attempt at this point, but is there should they choose to redeem it. It will naturally come to those who are qualified to be liberated but who usually choose to stay in maya out of unconditional compassion and love. This liberation is a plunge into turiyatita while dreaming. Generally, any type of liberation can only be produced if you're firmly and permanently established in turiya effortlessly. So the transition is normally a natural and automatic one without any effort made by the ego since the ego is given up. It is done through Grace.
This usually happens to jivanmuktis while in the waking state (i.e. physical world) or by kramamuktis in the causal world (i.e. Brahmaloka). These are the two types of liberation. But in this special and rare case, God brings liberation to qualified ones in their dream as the subtle body. It happens during dreaming while one is asleep. There is a horizon or a point of no return. A whirlwind or air-like white hole that is infinitely dense of peace and unbearable stillness. This is not something that can be viewed or pictured. It is just something that can only be known extremely and vividly intuitively. Should you come too close, you will get sucked in and never return again. How do you know? Well if you have been in deep samadhi, you will know how true intuition works. It need not be explained. It is intuition that hits you in the mind which dwells in this horizon. This deepest intuition generally serves as a preview of what supreme liberation (i.e. turiyatita) is like while still using the mind to understand this unknowable phenomena. It is unfathomable and extremely terrifying, yet beyond blissful. Of course, you will never truly know what turiyatita is like until you finally rest there, which is why there needs to be total acceptance before the plunge can happen. But this line of no return is there should the Sages want to cross it. Very few will do so.​​​​​
