Taking a Peek: Viewing the void
Part II
… appears as a black hole, appears as the void of all, appears as a bottomless chasm.
Fear may be the first thing that comes to the mind of the observer, after all who in their right mind would like to step into a bottomless pit? Who in their right mind would like to experience eternal sensory deprivation? Who in their right mind would even think about shrouding themselves in a suffocating blanket of darkness?
It is, however, within region 4 that one finds their true essence. Our true essence is shrouded in the fog and chaos of sensory, emotional and mental bombardment which completely cloaks our true essence, our true self, making it virtually invisible to the individual.
So how does one begin the process of gaining access to region 4?
The process begins with self-observation for self-observation allows one to understand oneself. Self-observation allows one to bring the three regions, sensory, emotional and mental into balance which in turn keeps any one of the three from dominating one’s life. Self-observation keeps emotions, physical cravings and mental thoughts in check, not eradicated but in check.
Once the three regions are in balance one can begin the process of quieting the three regions. The process of quieting the three regions is not a new concept. The process of quieting the three centers has been practiced for thousands of years by the yogis, monks and fakirs.
The process of quieting the physical, emotional and mental can, through practice, patience and instruction be accomplished by ordinary people.
Once one learns to quiet the three regions, the diagram of the four regions takes on the following appearance:
