Dvali

Dvali is the complete suppression of activity over long periods of time for conservation of energy. It is the quiet approaching of stillness, sustained across intervals too long to be experienced as a duration. Time floats away, as if it had never been here. There is no resistance. There is no tension held against the cold. Nothing is waiting to be resumed. A complete withdrawal from the very premise of wakefulness, shedding processes until what remains cannot be called presence. Energy is preserved through the abolition of need. To listen is to consent to an experience that resists consciousness.
