The Physics of the Fourth Level

How the astral level of reality functions differently from the physical world — the laws that govern it.

The Bridge Between Worlds

The fourth level of the HEF is the bridge between the three-dimensional physical world and the higher spiritual worlds. Levels one through three correspond to three-dimensional reality. Level four is the bridge. Levels five through seven are the spiritual world.

The fourth level contains everything from objects to beings to thought-forms. This is the level of relationship — and as such, we are always co-creating with the inhabitants of the fourth level through the law of "like attracts like."

Not Visible to the Naked Eye

Since the fourth level does not exist in three-dimensional reality, it is not visible to the naked eye. Yet from time immemorial, different cultures have described and had access to this world. The astral world — the world of dreams, of spirits, of the recently deceased — is the fourth level.

What Brennan discovered is that the fourth level functions according to different laws of physics than the physical world. Understanding these laws is essential for anyone doing healing work at this level.

Key Differences from Physical Reality

  • • Time is non-linear: In the physical world, time is an arrow pointing forward. In the fourth level, time is encapsulated in the experience. Within a block held in the fourth level, time is frozen at the moment the block occurred.
  • • "Like attracts like": Energies of similar frequency and nature are attracted to each other. This is why unhealed wounds attract similar experiences — not as punishment, but as natural law.
  • • Thought-forms are real: Thoughts and emotions create actual energy forms in the fourth level. These forms can persist, grow, and affect physical reality.
  • • Objects can be charged: Objects can be imbued with fourth-level energy consciousness to help or harm (talismans, amulets, cursed objects).
  • • Beings have form based on self-belief: Fourth-level beings take the form of what they believe themselves to be. Their appearance reflects their consciousness.

Frozen Time in Blocks

One of the most important concepts: within a block held in the fourth level of the HEF, time is frozen in the moment the block occurred. The block is separated from the normal pulsations of energy flow through the HEF.

"Inside a block that is held in the fourth level of the HEF, time is frozen in the moment that the block occurred. Thus the block is separated from the normal pulsations of energy flow through the HEF. This separation allows the individual who created the block to function in daily life, rather than get caught up in his deep pain from earlier in life."

Time, in the fourth level, is encapsulated in the experience, rather than the experience being encapsulated in time, as in the physical world.

The Law of Attraction

The fourth level operates on the principle of "like attracts like." This means:

  • • Your unhealed wounds attract similar situations and people
  • • Your fears draw to you exactly what you fear (because fear is energy consciousness)
  • • Your negative beliefs create thought-forms that attract matching experiences
  • • Fourth-level beings are attracted to people with similar energy
  • • Healing yourself changes what you attract — this is how healing transforms your life

This is not punishment or reward — it's simply how the fourth level works, like gravity in the physical world.

Thought-Forms and Creation

In the fourth level, your thoughts and emotions create actual energy forms. These are not just abstract ideas — they are real energetic structures that:

  • Persist in the fourth level until they are transformed or dissolved
  • Can grow stronger with repetition and emotional charge
  • Can affect your physical body and life circumstances
  • Can be perceived by others with HSP
  • Attract similar forms through "like attracts like"

This is why what you focus on grows — not as a platitude, but as a physical law of the fourth level. Your repeated thoughts and emotions literally build the structures of your fourth-level reality.

Navigating the Fourth Level

To navigate the fourth level safely:

  • • Maintain a coherent field: Clear, charged, balanced — this is your protection
  • • Hold unconditional love: The primary tool for all fourth-level work
  • • Don't act from fear: Fear creates projections and draws negative experiences
  • • Stay grounded: Keep your connection to the physical world and the earth
  • • Do your personal process work: Clear your blocks so your perception isn't distorted
  • • Never force: Forcing creates duality; allow and observe
