The 4Th Body is not some spooky subject. It’s a philosophical take emphasizing the fourth body that almost everyone neglects and under-utilizes. It’s like you have a million-dollar bank account in some unknown place. This book has answers to many essential life questions that people may have. This book will help tune you to experience the divine vibration that is both fulfilling and healing. it can potentially trigger the transcendental space within the reader, creating meditativeness that heals the mind and opens up the SPACE of enlightenment. Each sentence, when understood as how the author intended it, has the potential to blow away one's limiting-self. There are four dimensions of our presence, and we can sense them at any time (Physical/Energy/thinking/Awareness). Recognizing these bodies increases self-awareness and breaks the limitation of us functioning as just the body, emotion and mind, which are individualized images of the Self. Our true power is kept in our 4Th Body.
The 4Th Body is not some spooky subject. It’s a philosophical take emphasising the fourth body that almost everyone neglects and under-utilises. It’s like you have a million-dollar bank account in some unknown place. This book has answers to many essential life questions that people may have. I humbly and gracefully say that this book, in my opinion, is optimistic and providential. It is experiential and offers more to the right souls who read the ideas correctly and with the right mindset. The content of this book came out of a flow during moments of deep connection, as if it were meant for a particular group of people. Often the author was surprised by the clarity that flowed into these moments and, at times, sat in shock because the insights were directly opposite to his beliefs and ways of doing things. He is fully convinced that the material belongs to the Universe and was intuited to him for his evolution and that of others. Often, he was inspired by his materials as if they were not his. The author experienced many awakening moments while channelling the wisdom shared in this book.
A state of vibration known as the “Divine vibration” is something our soul searches for naturally. It’s fulfilling and is placed at the highest rank as a highly positive experience by our core self. Divine Vibration is everywhere. All we need to do to experience it is to tune in to that vibration. We have a powerful tuning machine called the mind. This mind can tune in to any vibration, from revenge to love, grief to bliss, poverty to prosperity, and demonic to divine. We must be skilled enough to steer it in the right direction.
This book will help tune you to experience the divine vibration that is both fulfilling and healing. I could feel the transmission of divine energy through the words and ideas presented here. If you are reading this book and feeling the auspiciousness, then it’s meant for you. Please be in the right frame of mind to receive it.
How & Why
This book was born from the author’s direct experiences and deep contemplations that led to deep insights during special moments in his life. It also has a compilation of materials shared in a monthly “Mind Purification” Study Circle that the author has conducted since 2010. The idea flow originated from moments of profound clarity that surfaced with high conviction and authenticity. The author was long involved in philosophy and self-knowledge, which in a way, ordained him to guide others on matters of the mind & self. Many seek guidance from him on life issues and mind matters, and he has helped provide greater clarity, wisdom and the proper counsel that elevated them.
The author believes that an element called Life Intelligence is unfolding itself to its parts (the readers) through its terminal (author) to know itself, as it is timely.

Notes
DEDICATION
This book is dedicated to my mother, my late father, and all my siblings, namely Sucilla (eldest sister), Sugumaran (eldest brother), Devagi (elder sister), Devan (late elder brother), Saseedaran (younger brother) and Sri Krishnan (youngest brother). They have, in many ways, contributed to my evolution as a human being and sacrificed a lot for me. My mother gave me my conscience; my father nurtured my peace muscles and positive thinking whilst my siblings are the best well-wishers one could ask for!
A special dedication goes to all the noble personalities the Universe sent to guide and turn my life around. They are:
Dato’ J. Jegathesan from the Sathya Sai Baba International organisation of Malaysia, who was responsible for bringing me into the Sai fold where some major unleashing of my potential materialised;
Mr Krishnan from Applied Scholastic Institute influenced my professional communication, developed my facilitation and self-reflection skills, and shaped my understanding of deep universal wisdom.
Mr Gopalan from Top Performers Leadership Centre allowed me to become a training consultant, which I consider my purpose here. My gratitude to them is unconditional and timeless.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
My deepest gratitude goes to all the great spiritual teachers of the world who directly or indirectly influenced my spiritual growth. They include Lord Jesus Christ, Bhagavan Krishna, Lord Buddha, Nissargadatta Maharaj, Osho, Sathya Sai Baba, Shree Shivabalayogi Maharaj and Shree Shivarudra Balayogi. This book is dedicated to them as well. May their divine grace touch this book and their blessings radiate throughout it.
Note: Their role in my spiritual growth is available in the author's profile at the end of this book.
I would also like to acknowledge all contributing editors who’ve made this book possible, particularly Kamini Raja Singgam, Zeeneeshri Ramadass, Shaamini Kanagasingam and Leong Chew Poon. , They are in a very special place in my heart. They worked without any expectations, and sacrificed their valuable time and energy, out of love for me, and as their service to mankind. I pray in my heart that they are bestowed their share of grace whenever the readers receive blessings as they go through the book.

How & Why
This book was born from the author’s direct experiences and deep contemplations that led to deep insights during special moments in his life. It also has a compilation of materials shared in a monthly “Mind Purification” Study Circle that the author has conducted since 2010. The idea flow originated from moments of profound clarity that surfaced with high conviction and authenticity. The author was long involved in philosophy and self-knowledge, which in a way, ordained him to guide others on matters of the mind & self. Many seek guidance from him on life issues and mind matters, and he has helped provide greater clarity, wisdom and the proper counsel that elevated them.
The author believes that an element called 2Life Intelligence is unfolding itself to its parts (the readers) through its terminal (author) to know itself, as it is timely.
The purpose of this book is to document all the valuable perspectives and insights that came to light during certain divine moments. It is helpful in two ways:
The author wishes to make it clear that the purpose of this book is not to inject more beliefs into the reader’s mind. He never intended to verbalise this higher material and turn it into a book because people are bound to turn it into beliefs and create a school of thought out of it rather than using it as a portal for personal 3deeper seeing. Instead, he intends to activate the wisdom in readers and enable them to recognise the ring of truth around everything that is shared here. He encourages readers to regard this book as a signboard to reach something else more profound that lies in the realm of awareness.
The content of this book had one aim. The author just had you in mind. Be happy that it has found you.
What is it about?
This book can potentially trigger the 4transcendental space within the reader, creating meditativeness that heals the mind and opens up the SPACE of enlightenment. (Enlightenment here means a state of clarity or the dispelling of illusion.)
THE CLEARER YOU ARE OF THE “WHAT IS”, THE MORE YOU DISPEL ILLUSIONS, AND THE MORE ENLIGHTENED YOU BECOME.
This book is not about TRUTH. Words are not only inadequate to talk about TRUTH, but it is simply impossible. It’s just a helpful tool in your journey towards the discovery of TRUTH.
This book will assist in getting you to the next level of clarity, and it has the potential to initiate you into an awakened life gradually if you follow the mindset advised here. It will approach you from various angles through certain subjects, terms and methods used. This type of reading takes you into the deeper side of the same information. That’s the magic you will encounter when reading this book passionately.
Do take note of the following pointers about this book:
It is not written to make you more knowledgeable but to gain the ability to transcend beyond the knowledge that hinders the pure knowing of “As It Is”.
It is not trying to teach about “Truth” but to make you (the pseudo-self) recognise its falsehood and explore ways of transcending it.
It is for the ego to feel itself as a mere tension in the space and as a burden.
It is for the personality to see itself as the limitation, hence creating the urge to go beyond it.
It is for the
5
I centre,
which is the
source of all human suffering
, to be known and seen to its core till the awakening to its
6
non-existence
is initiated.
It is to recognise the
desire
for peace as the
block to your inherent peace
that’s already there.
The mind must
transcend itself
and ultimately realise that
self-realisation is unnecessary
because there is
no such Self to discover
. (The meaning of Self here is the separate “I” entity)
Mindset required for this book.
As you go through the topics and perspectives, you can expect to experience some confusion because it may contradict the past comfortable beliefs that are very dear to you. The views given here may contradict each other. If that happens, do not feel uncomfortable or confused, but welcome it as a new challenge without making any conclusions. There are reasons for it.
Those going for just the knowledge may be uncomfortable because they will sense the repetition of the information everywhere along the pages. The repetitions have a profound purpose, thus allow for it happily.
Keep your mind open, allow yourself to look at the perspectives according to the writer's context, and consult your intelligence for new clarity. The authenticity and conviction of the wisdom shared here should come from your intellect. What surfaces from your intelligence during the confusion matters more for your progress than the contradictions in this book. Listen to that which approves its validity internally. I request the readers to be in harmony with the approach undertaken here.
HONEST CONFUSION IS REVERED BECAUSE IT IS THE BEGINNING OF YOUR NEXT LEVEL OF CLARITY. CONFUSIONS ARE INEVITABLE TO UNLEASH THE “CONFUCIUS” WITHIN YOU. TRUST AND MOVE ON PATIENTLY.
“Be present to that internal intelligence that agrees and inspires you further as you read this book.”
This material points to something that cannot be understood verbally. It would be best if you sensed it non-verbally or intuitively. It would be best if you did not read this like a storybook or a science book that has to be substantiated with scientific evidence. Just read a little till you get the feeling of transcendence. Then, close the book and continue carrying that deep transcendental-self or the meditative current with you all day.
Every sentence is potent with a particular idea, and you are advised to reflect and contemplate their underlying meanings. Each sentence, when understood as how the author intended it, has the potential to blow away your limiting-self. You are encouraged to use this book not only during moments of low energy, confusion or mental pain but as a regular sustenance for your spirit. It will help you pull out of the mind's suffering and effectively transcend the personality and its gravitational pull. Continuous interaction with this material can stabilise one’s awareness, which is detached from the mind's content.
Special note from the author
Please do not overdose on too much reading unless it is a natural pull. Avoid wasting energy on intellectual analysis or debating perspectives. If there are disagreements, it is usually a definition or a contextual issue. People have definitions of right or wrong and can be very sensitive about their beliefs. The topics here are not meant for argument and comments. It is merely a trigger to awaken that which is all the while there but obscured by the culture of the individualised mind. Avoid getting into the usual obsession of judging the author or labelling him or the material under a particular sect. It is meant to help humanity, and many have benefitted tremendously from this material used in study circles regularly. The author also seeks your forgiveness if the material makes you feel uncomfortable. He humbly requests that such irritations and negative perceptions, if it occurs, be sacrificed for the sake of the many benefiting from the material.
This material is universal and requires one to be beyond religious or cultural limitations to experience the validity of shared perspectives. However, the author reveres all the world religions and acknowledges their role in keeping people’s minds in goodness and positive thoughts. He believes that religion and spiritual teachings give peace of mind and hope for a better future, making people feel safer and more secure. He encourages every aspirant of all religions and spiritual institutions to understand the more profound messages of their guides through their own inner seeing and wake up to the Oneness that’s there in all of them. This book hopes to help the reader become a better person in their religion. It hopes to be a wake-up call to that one Truth:-
the existence of the UNIVERSAL FORCE OF CARE that is keeping the sun for sustenance; the earth in its orbit; the ozone that is shielding us from dangerous ultraviolet rays; the trees and plants that supply oxygen; food, shelter and acts as raw material for many other things; the ecosystem that brilliantly takes care of the symbiotic living of all living things; and the miraculous function of every body of all species which includes digestions, cell divisions, excretions, procreations, and trillion other bodily activities. He believes religion is personal and between you and what you think is TRUTH. Whoever you are, you need to discover the TRUTH for yourself. Giving in to this book will do that for you. Lastly, don’t become too serious about the whole reading. Even the ultimate Truth taken too seriously can be a hindrance to enlightenment. It is meant for soul-fun.
IF YOU ARE THE RIGHT PERSON, ALMOST EVERY PARAGRAPH HAS THE PORTAL TO TAKE YOU INTO A DEEP, SWEET STATE THAT IS SO PEACEFUL, AND IT’S ENCHANTING TO STAY IN THAT ZONE LONGER. FLOW WITH IT. FINISHING A CHAPTER OR THE BOOK IS NOT IMPORTANT AT ALL. EXPERIENCING THE SPIRITUAL JOLT IN EVERY READING IS MORE IMPORTANT.
Note that the following content of this book is delivered directly to you. The book is meant to be more conversational than academic. The author wishes to converse with you through the subjects here, and you can feel yourself connecting with him through your reading.
Who should read this book?
Anyone! This book will be highly appealing to those seeking enlightenment earnestly and who enjoy transcending or being able to sense the soul in those topics. However, it will be more attractive for those who do self-reflections, meditators, bliss seekers and those who like to go to the next level in their spiritual growth.
INTRODUCTION
UNDERSTANDING
THE 4TH BODY
ARE YOU JUST A CHUNK OF MEAT, HAIR AND BONES?I’m sure you have asked yourself such a question before, but did you notice that having an answer to this question is not essential? The question presents itself as a trigger to the inward journey of realisation. Welcome such triggers as you travel through this book.
IS YOUR PRESENCE LIMITED TO YOUR BODY ONLY? Is there more to your presence? Only you know the answer to this. Never let anyone tell you who you are or are not because you are bound to get it wrong.
YOU ARE THERE FOR YOU TO KNOW FOR YOURSELF.
OPEN YOUR INNER EYES, BRING THE SUBTLE “WHO” FACTOR TO THE FRONT, AND MAKE IT TANGIBLE.
It is easy to ignore the elephant in the room. Most of us are preoccupied with external factors and are not fully aware of what is in the internal. Almost always, we are not paying enough attention to this “who” factor. The intent of the book is not to tell you who you indeed are but to turn your attention towards your internal and assist you to see and be aware.
What a wonder to watch life manifesting itself as various creations. It is natural for anyone to ask, “Who is the great magician behind all these magical creations?” and feel the thrill of that ecstatic wonder. Can we find this magician? Will we meet them one day? Perhaps seeing this persona can be futile as the magician may not be your imagined personality. So, if it’s not a “who”, what could be the source of all the creations? Also, looking for the “who” or “what” may not be as crucial since the mind may be unable to comprehend it anyway. What we can relate to is the thrilling experience itself. Try taking a fresh look at the body's anatomy; we are bound to find ourselves astonished by the engineering aspect of how every organ is well-protected and perfectly placed. Who did those precocious calculations? Where did the “Intent of Care” behind those careful designs come from? While a few would feel the pure rapture and thrill of nature’s activity, it is shocking that most are not experiencing this joy. They are not at all thrilled by these majestic creations and their magical functions. Of course, some constantly complain about nature’s activities like rain, sunshine, snow, etc., instead of embracing their presence with wonder and amazement. Why is that so? The entrance to higher clarity is through that thrilling experience. Discover what within us is feeling the thrill, which will set the journey towards the realisation of the source.
Among all creations, our presence is one of the most admirable ones. Try sensing your presence and ask this question who created me without my knowing? How do I happen to be here? Why am I here? What in heaven’s name am I doing here? Remember not to ponder these questions with your thought process, or else you will miss them, just like the vast majority. Experience the thrill and try to see the detailed aspect of your presence from that feeling. The effective way is to feel it intuitively and directly recognise it without any analysis or judgments. If you are not grasping this, don’t worry, you will soon get it without realising it if you enjoy the book. Right now, we can experience living through four bodies simultaneously. They are the following:
Physical Body
Energy Body
Thinking Body
Awareness Body
These are the four dimensions of our presence, and we can sense them at any time. The “Physical Body” is the most prominent and tangible physical presence to operate in the world. We are also present as a bulk of energy, known as the “Energy Body”. We can sense this body by closing our eyes and feeling our vibes. There is a thinker who is present in our wakeful state as well. That’s the “Thinking Body”. Who within us is aware of the thinker, energy and physical presence? That presence is known as the Awareness Presence, our 4th body. It’s natural, experiential and evidential. With proper focus, anyone can experience these bodies for real.
AWARENESS BODY
THINKING BODY
PHYSICAL BODY
ENERGY BODY
Recognising these bodies increases self-awareness and breaks the limitation of us functioning as just the body, emotion and mind, which are individualised images of the Self. The first three bodies are personal. The “Awareness Body”, which recognises these three bodies have a Universal element in it, although it feels personal. It reveals the impersonal side of our presence, though it is often not easily understood by all. The Awareness dimension has its levels.
3 LEVELS OF AWARENESS
Level 1 Awareness (Self-Awareness): It feels personal and sees from a space of detachment. It’s a seer identity that judges and is aware of its thoughts, emotions, intentions, perspectives, beliefs, etc.
Level 2 Awareness (Universal Awareness): Feels like a mixture of personal and universal (impersonal). It’s a space identity that allows for thoughts, emotions, intentions, perspectives, beliefs, and even level 1 Awareness experiences. Universal Awareness is purely non-judgmental and non-reactive. It is also aware of the personal aspect of itself and recognises it as part of itself.
Level 3 Awareness: Feels completely impersonal, universal, and non-reactive (static). It is pure awareness. At this level, there isn't any notion of the Self. There is an inner seeing without any idea of a seer from the point of 7“NOTHINGNESS”. It’s the eyes of 8“EMPTINESS”. It’s 9“BEYOND KNOWINGNESS
Emptiness and Nothingness are expressions of the same dimension. They are unknowable to the mind but are sensed vibrationally intuitively and not through a thought process.
Emptiness is like the abode in which existence resides. Nothingness is like the abode in which life’s happenings are dwelling. It’s all happening in the background, just like the space behind the things around you that have allowed for the existence of those things. Our mind perceives the items but not the space surrounding them. That space is sensed intuitively.
Gentle reminder: If you ask, “How does he (the author) know this, and what’s the proof” just acknowledge your doubt and continue seeing it for yourself while, at the same time, giving me the benefit of the doubt. Remember this – understanding the material is essential, but more important is that the clarity is seen within as you focus inwardly. Use it to travel deeper within you with trust and patience, and soon you will discover valuable insights through your own mind’s language. What I share in this book is based on my inner seeing through my mind’s language. I have no intention of forcing you to believe the sharing here, but I aim to assist you in opening your inner eyes and knowing for yourself. Once it’s known, it’s all yours. Please remember that I am unimportant, and my experiences are irrelevant to your evolution, but the message is. Let it help you. Even if it confuses you, know this guidance is the beginning for some of you, and I urge you to go on without giving up. You will soon reap the benefits.
Let’s not dwell too much on these abstract things. Instead, let’s further understand the four bodies.
BODIES
WHAT IS IT
PURPOSE
1st
PHYSICAL
BODY
Individualised flesh and bone representation.
The physical operation to get things done in the physical world.
The limbic system senses life at an emotional level to resonate with an appropriate response for the body's survival. It also emotionally senses thoughts, creating experiences in our lives.
2nd
ENERGY BODY
Individualised presence is a formless emotional body called the Auric body. It’s vibrational in nature.
Experience life through perceptions created by the sensory organs and by our mind. It regulates responses towards feeling good. It also acts as a feedback system for wrong choices of actions and thoughts.
3rd
THINKING
Individualised presence as a thinker. It’s vibrational in nature.
Cognition, thinking, analysing, planning, etc., towards better survival or success, problem-solving, making rational decisions and referring to assimilating past experiences.
4th
AWARENESS BODY
Universal presence witnessing the individualised dimensions of presence.
Liberation from all mental limitations.
Gives control over mind activities.
Causes organic behavioural transformation.
Liberation from suffering. It’s detached from the mind, life situations, experiences, and the inherent free, enlightened state. Acts as the bridge to the abode of permanent peace within.
It Awakens to the “Oneness” dimension, which soon activates the bliss body.
Note: Beyond Awareness Presence is the 5th body called Bliss Presence, born out of a stable 4th body. It will be enlightened in another book in the future.
The explanation of Awareness and Bliss Presence is inadequate through words. It is impossible to understand these two levels of presence through words because perceptions through words are the functions of the Thinking Body. The concept of awareness and bliss is not awareness and bliss.
