The Silence: The Void
Part VI
Region 4 is something altogether different from regions 1, 2 and 3.
Level/region 1 was the region of physical sensation experienced (for humans) through the five senses.
Level/region 2 was the region of emotions experienced (for humans) through feelings.
Level/region 3 was the region of mental thought experienced (for humans) through conscious reasoning, cerebral analysis, rationalization …
We examined what level 1 then level 2 and then level 3 were. Now we must examine what level 4 is.
Level/region 4 must be void all of the experiencing incorporated by levels 1, 2 and 3. If this were not so, then level 4 would simply be a continuation of levels 1, 2 and/or 3.
But just as levels 1, 2 and 3 are unique unto themselves level/region 4 is unique unto itself and thus is its own island, its own region.
We can diagram region 4 in relationship to regions 1, 2 and 3 in the following manner.

Some would say region 4 should be diagramed as:
At our present stage of understanding, Fig. 2.5 would be correct but as we progress in our knowledge and understanding of self this will prove to be incorrect.
Region 4 is a form of sensory, emotional and mental deprivation.
Here then lays the understanding regarding the previous statement as to the difficulty of entering region 4. Region/level 4 is, as stated previously, difficult to attain, seldom visited and frightening to experience initially, for region 4 is isolation in the truest sense.
Level/region 4 is the void itself, is the realm of the black endless abyss and is the suffocating blanket of nothingness. To enter region 4 is to release everything one holds dear, release the only reality with which one is familiar. Entering level/region 4 is to stare into the face of eternal death, eternal non-existence.
