“The sense of a boundary or a shape to the body begins to dissolve. There’s just a mist of sensations, and there’s space between the dots of the mist, so you focus on the perception of space, knowing that you could go back to the body at any time, but this is so much more spacious—that’s the only way you could describe it. You begin to get a sense that the space permeates not only your body but also the air around you, the walls of the room, the air outside, the ground beneath; there seems to be space in all directions. That’s a perception you can hold in mind, too.
From there you can go to the sense of awareness: just knowing, knowing, knowing. That would be the perception you hold on next. And finally you let go of the perception of oneness—the oneness of the knowing—and it’s replaced by a sense of nothingness; again, a perception. This, the Buddha said, is as far as perception attainments go.”
