Buddhism lists eight levels of being-peeled-away (from the pain-making situation of panicked grasping for permanence inside the bewitchment of counter-subjectivity, or space):

1. Awareness of universal understructure (consciousness) as Pleasant Sensations
2. Awareness of under-consciousness as Joy
3. Awareness of under-consciousness as Contentment
4. Awareness of under-consciousness as Utter Peacefulness
5. Awareness of under-consciousness as Infinity of Space
6. Awareness of under-consciousness as Infinity of Consciousness
7. Awareness of under-consciousness as No-thingness
8. Awareness of under-consciousness as Neither perception nor non-perception

… and the Ninth Jhana is Cessation, or liberation of local under-consciousness from all enmeshment and compulsion.
