 The Physical Plane

is constructed of universes and each

universe of millions of galaxies and each galaxy

of millions of suns or stars around which orbit planets and moons...

The relationship that occurs between the earth and the sun recurs millions of times and constitutes the earth Plane as a part of the physical plane which is made up of five elements:

Earth---solid, frozen, cold and warm; dark and heavy.

Water---liquid, oceans and magmas; cold, warm and wet.

Air---gas, atmospheres and coronas;

meteors and stars.

Fire---plasma, suns, transformation,

light and heat; dry.

Ether---electromagnetic spectrum;

invisible matter; dark.

These five elements are the physical

 or grosser precipitations of the lower

passions of the mind, which are:

Greed, Attachment, Pride, Anger, Lust.

These lower passions of the mind

constitute

The Astral Plane

that presupposes each and every universe

in the physical realm and these lower passions are the grosser manifestations of

the so-called higher passions or virtues

that constitute the higher mind or

The Causal Plane

which is the seat of the mind also known

as the three cornered plane, where the principles of action and reaction are

located and exist as souls: essentially, here are two souls situated who are responsible

to the Almighty God for the lower creation.

Causal Plane ..... heaven

Astral Plane ..... paradise

Physical Plane .... earth

(Mythological or genetic context.)

All these planes are inhabited by souls

that originated in the higher creation

where mind exists only rarely and which

is governed by the Power of Soul and Spirit.

The Governing power of mind that rules

the lower creation: obtains its authority

from the higher creation and is a grosser manifestation of the higher creation.

The two souls whose relationship could roughly be said to constitute the contin-uation of the lower creation are also known

 as Time and Space; Conciousness and Ego,

Kal and Maya; Universal Mind and Matter

are characterised as hardness and softness

or sweetness or as male and female: 

Genetics is the ruling principle on earth, while

Emotion rules the astral plane and

Intellect governs the causal. "

"THE HIGHER CREATION

Here, immediately superior to all the universal planes of consciousness, is the Spirit-Mind Region that regulates the lower creation just described.

This region is very vast and grows in intensity of Spirit-Soul until the top of the higher creation is reached where there is a predominance of Spirit but is of such a nature that after an extremely long time this higher creation also must pass away as does the lower creation. Both are thus temporal and subject to dissolution and separated from Spirit by chaos.

THE SPIRITUAL REGION OR FIRST TRUE PLANE

All the souls in all the creations originated here and here is their Home or Pad.

This Spirit Plane is the destination of the soul and is the first truely eternal region of life and consciousness.

The soul is the real entity and only in this region is its consciousness pure and unconditioned and free of mind. Here time and ego cannot exist and all values are absolute. This is the resting place of all true or real saints and gurus or saviours.

FROM THE BEGINNING

It is true that no concept shall serve for Reality:

an experience so beyond finite definition that words can be used only as clues rather than symbols or the finite representations of our thought-patterns;  and as such can never convey the infinite and subtler experiences that we all have in common.

Moreover, there are so many interpretations of what others have said or written that we completely forget to experience that Truth for ourselves.

The word Soul may serve as a clue but says nothing about the true nature of that entity that we are:  a clue is given insofar that a distinction is being made within the total unity of things and no-things.

However it remains for us to uncover for ourselves what or who we are."

"THE MIRACLE OF LIFE

is clearly illustrated by an organic oversight of how humans have materialized consistently at various parts of the globe over an incalculable period; especially, when the hostile elements outside in the universe and inside the heart are clearly perceived.

OUR HOME while we are in this world is our own precious body but our real and true home is not part of this body because our true home is eternal while this body is perishable.

In order to reach our true home; we must penetrate the three dimensions of matter at the spirit centre in the body, between and behind the eyes and then pass through mental, astral and causal dimensions; before we can reach our true home in this total reality.

When we are tuned into the Spirit Vibration also known in Yoga  as Shabd; we pass throu-gh the spirit centre in the body into other dimensions and then we literally die to this world of phenomena. 

However, without the help of this Spirit Vibration or Shabd the soul is forced to vacate the body and the result is death in disgrace, ignorance and punishment for the souls, who, conditioned by mind, are wondering around in the delusion of marriage; children; power; popularity and wealth."

The story never ends, but some are here to remind us of the Great story, and maybe one day more can be read in book form.
