Planes of Existence
A Plane is a large manifested reality. For the sake of instruction it is necessary
to define two terms. The first, “Reality-Plane” refers to a Plane of
existence with emphasis on the fact that it is a Reality. The second term,
“Planar-Reality" refers to the environment created by a Reality-Plane.
This environment includes physical laws and other foundations of existence.
It is helpful to think of a Reality-Plane as a
container for a Planar-Reality. A Reality-Plane gives rise to a Planar-Reality
by creating the physical laws and materials that make existence possible, such
as: matter, energy, gravity, electro-magnetism, force, acceleration, mass,
inertia, and so on. This means that a change in the Essence that affects the
Reality-Plane will directly affect the Planar-Reality. The objects contained in
a Planar-Reality are manifestations of the essence.
Planes classification
The difference between Planes depends upon their
stability and their types of Planar-Realities. Many times Reality-Planes can
intersect and give rise to other Reality-Planes with higher degrees of Strong Order.
Some Planes can exist only as unions or intersections between different planes
within a Nexus.
Physical plane
This is the kind of world and universe we know
of as material. Physical planes are shaped and governed by the physical laws of
the reality plane in which they reside. A Physical Plane has the greatest level
of Order and stability but is a Reality that emerges only by an intersection of
Ethereal and Spiritual Planes.
Ethereal plane
The Ethereal Plane arises from a combination of
two or more Spiritual Planes with an increased amount of Mana and a higher
order that emerges as a result. On the Ethereal Plane a type of Spiritual
Matter emerges that envelops spiritual entities and Psyches, clothing them in
Spiritual forms. It is here that the Soul manifests and can access Mana in
preparation to being manifested in a corporeal form on a Physical Plane.
Spiritual plane
The Spiritual Plane is not manifested with
materially as is the Physical and Ethereal Planes. Within the Spiritual Plane
there is no true matter, only Psyche (the intelligent consciousness of an
entity,) perceptions and emotions. It is in such a Plane that the identity,
consciousness and personality of a Psyche can have a sensible manifestation.
The lack of true matter means that an experience on a Spiritual Plane is shaped
almost exclusively by the beliefs and perceptions of the consciousness’s of
those residing on the Plane. Depending on the personality of each being, the
Planar-Reality can be quite different. In fact, it is shaped dynamically by the
intelligences that inhabit it.
