It is the highest vibration of sound and cannot be perceived through the 5 senses it is more the Element of Spirit or the 6th sense.  It is vastly expansive, empty & full at the same time. This Element within us enables us to realise that we are much more than our physical bodies, there is a much greater purpose to our existence than the material world, we connect with something bigger than ourselves.  The quality of Space is consciousness, we expand our ability to perceive  & transform our reality. Described as “pure and bright”, used to cognize the three feelings of pleasure, pain and neither-pleasure-nor-pain, and the arising and passing of the sense contact upon which these feelings are dependent.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
