you

there are beings who have completely

transcended all perceptions of matter by

the vanishing of the perceptions of

sensory actions and by non attention to

the perceptions of variety thinking

space is infinite they have attained to

the sphere of infinite space that is the

fifth station there are beings who by

transcending the sphere of infinite

space thinking consciousness is infinite

having attained to the sphere of

infinite consciousness that is the sixth

station there are beings who have

transcended the sphere of infinite

consciousness thinking there is nothing

have attained to the sphere of nothing

that is the seventh station of

consciousness the two realms are the

realm of unconscious beings and secondly

the realm of neither perception nor

non-perception when you get into the

fourth jhana

if you don't go any higher but you gain

real strong mastery of the fourth jhana

and you die there's two different

heavenly realms that you can go to one

of them is a brahmaloka and the other

one is the realm of being unconscious

you have a body it's like a statue but

there's no consciousness no thinking

some people have this idea that that's

really I don't want to be reborn there

that sounds like a hell realm but

there's so much reading

in getting to the cessation of

perception and feeling your body is

still there it's still hearts beating

still breathing

although faith not very much your body

stays alive but there's no perception

and feeling to disturb your mind now

when you become a non egami or an AR hot

you will have the skill to go into that

state anytime you want just by making

the determination you make a

determination that you want to stay in

that state for so many days no more than

seven days body can't live longer than

seven days without consciousness

I've met one person that can do that and

it was a little Indian lady you would

never guess by seeing her on the street

she's just a normal-looking person kind

of happy all the time but normal looking

but you go into the same room with her

you know that you're walking into a room

where the person that has a lot of

personal power I mean a lot of personal

power and she started talking when I

went in and she started talking about

being able to sit for seven days and

niro dah' samapatti that's the the poly

trend but that's the cessation of

perception and feeling and being a dumb

American I said why do you want to do

that and she gave me a one-word answer

relief there's no there's no vibration

at all
