Subplane Demonstrable Characteristics – Atmic through Etheric (Revised 04/10/24)

Quote:

After the second initiation the teaching shifts up a plane.  The initiate learns to control his mental vehicle; he develops the capacity to manipulate thought matter, and learns the laws of creative thought building.  He functions freely on the four lower sub-planes of the mental plane, and before the third initiation he must,—consciously or unconsciously,— be complete master of the four lower sub-planes in the three planes of the three worlds.  His knowledge of the microcosm becomes profound, and he has mastered theoretically and practically, in great measure, the laws of his own nature, hence his ability experimentally to be master on the four lower sub-planes of the physical, astral, and mental planes.  The last fact is of interest.  The control of the three higher sub-planes is not yet complete, and here is one of the explanations as to the failures and mistakes of initiates.  Their mastery of matter in the three higher sub-planes is not yet perfect; these yet remain to be dominated. HIS, pg.86

 

[HS Note: There are yet for each of us unlearned truisms per the quote above.  We do not know what we do not know. What does mastery of a sub-plane really mean? And what different skills are needed for different sub-planes dimensionally beingness? I will attempt to answer these questions and maybe learn more myself. I will begin by listing some general pragmatic or demonstrating characteristics of various sub-planes per my present understanding and also through the assistance by the group mind in a reflective meditation.]

 

Examples of Cosmic Physical Sub-plane Generic Demonstrable Capacities and Other:

(Note: Numbering is from the above down.)

Again the corresponding vortices on the atmic level come into active vibration as the mental centres become fourth dimensional, …” TCF, pgs 203-204.

Buddhic Sub-plane 1 (From above down)

There are those among you that have the gift of sharing the Knowledge and Wisdom of solar Logos with Humanity (energies coming into His vehicles and centers from other Sources as well as those Beings He interfaces with to carry out His Purpose.)

 

Buddhic Sub-plane 3

There are those that can in a moment’s time know everything there is to know about a thing or situation or event or person or soul.

There are those individuals that can distribute the energies of:

–the seven ashrams as individualized energies

–the monadic sheath

–the threefold triadal sheath

–Angel of the Presence

–planetary Logos

–12 planetary Logoi of the system

–Other cosmic solar systems

There are those among us that can create any changes in the One Plan for Humanity through being successful in their form of service.

 

Buddhic Sub-plane 5

There are those that can perceive the heart of all things.

There are those among us that have the ability to become one with or envision the Plan of the planetary & solar Logos.

There are those among us that have the ability to perceive the truth of anything.

There are those among us that have sacrificed their lives to advance others along their spiritual paths by taking on their karma.

There are those among us that have the ability to see into the vast future of humanity and other kingdoms to know for sure their eventual destiny.

 

Buddhic Sub-plane 2, 4, 6:

There are those that can know beyond any doubt the course or direction of any entity to know whether it is the correct direction.

There are those among us that have the capacity to sense the correctness of anything.

There are those among us that can exhibit the correct destiny for the race.

Manasic Sub-Plane 1:

One who has developed the capacity to do spiritual telepathy as a Soul.

One who has developed the ability to see in the light of the Triad.

One who has developed the ability to register from those polarized upon the buddhic plane.

One who will take or has taken the first major initiation soon.

One who will eventually say I am one with the Lord.

One who will or has become integrated with the Ray Group Soul.

 

Manasic Sub-Plane 2: (7 Rays)

One who has the capacity to vibrate with other members of their Oversoul and to know it as themselves.

One who has demonstrated their ability to see in the light of the Oversoul to assist those around them as souls.

One who has demonstrated their ability to see in the light of the soul and know everything about another person given their knowledge base.

One who has demonstrated their ability to know what is in another’s heart.

One who has the capacity to see mentally.

One who has the capacity to touch mentally.

One who has the capacity to taste mentally.

One who has the capacity to smell mentally.

One who has the capacity to know their past lives.

 

There are on this plane all those human souls (as opposed to personalities or human egos) who have not integrated their personalities either in incarnation or out.

Also, human personalities whose souls have taken the second initiation and are preparing for the third have the ability to align consciously with this vibration.

Technically, Souls with integrated personalities migrate to the second abstract mental subplane although their personalities are not yet polarized there.

As well as the records of all lives on this planet.

There are also on this plane those souls who oversee the evolution of other souls but who dwell upon higher levels.

It is high time we recognized those who have reached this level of awareness as these are responsible for salvaging others legitimately and not those who are only working with personalities. It is important to keep this in mind as you move out into the world to be of service as one cannot help another until they can help themselves.  It is also important to realize that those souls who work this way are never known or seen.

Another group of lives that operate here are those devas (green) who assist in the healing of personalities as well as souls.

Another group of devas here work with the development of the causal bodies of humans. These are the devas whom we call the guiding angels and dwell within the substance of the causal body itself.

There are other devas inherent within the planetary causal body also who dwell here. As well as those lives which ensoul these bodies.

 

Mental Sub-Plane 4:

On this plane dwells all of those souls in body who have taken the second initiation as well as those who have purified their minds and feelings but have not yet taken this initiation.

Also, upon this level one can interface with all beings who have a mind, and this means planetary beings:

Also, upon this level will be found those masters who are in incarnation. Each of these beings will use this aspect of their mind to reach humanity this way as well as working through astral planes and abstract planes.

Upon this level will be found those people whom can still be contacted after death as their thought form lasts after they abstract back into the soul.

Upon this level can be found those beings who work to create the plan on the earth and from this plan present ideas (NGWS).

From this plane also the masters work to create contact with different groups of minds

As well on this plane there are those evil forces working against the plan.

Also upon this plane are those whom have not yet taken a kama-manasic body.

As well as those whom have developed their minds along these lines.

There are also those beings which make up systemic minds using this plane to alter the future as well as spread their ideas.

 

Mental Sub-Plane 4 and 5: (7 Races & 7 Sub-Races)

One who has the capacity to demonstrate their relationship with humanity correctly.

One who has demonstrated to others their position in the world; this means they are able to symbolize a world cause or serve in that capacity. It also means they are able to know that is the next step for humanity along some line of work or area of life they have karma in. It also means they are able to see the interrelationships of causation in respect to this area of life and understand real needs.

One who has the ability to know beyond a doubt whether they are on the right life path or not.

One who has the ability to understand others around them in terms of their personality character, values, or basic qualities they are radiating.

Mental Sub-Plane 5:

On this plane are found personality minds as a rule.

As well as mental and plane devas.

There are also complex forms related to the sciences as well as all other fields of pure thought.

On this plane particularly there is found the beginning of real interpretation ability of minds as well as the ability to create clear thought-forms.

Also, on this plane are those who are coming into incarnation and have not unfolded a kama-manasic body.

There are also those beings we call human egos. These lower self-egos are a reflection of the higher Ego’s manifesting through personalities while in manifestation.

There are other beings which I do not understand as of yet as well as humans who dwell here while in body.

There are also many thought forms created by humanity one can interact with and not be able to tell where they came from; as well as vibrate to these thought forms they contact.

It is important to understand that all of our thought-forms to be kept alive through recreation and this happens by recreating thought on some topic and over time a huge thought-form is developed from those thinking similar thoughts and this becomes a reality for some group of peoples who over identify with such.

It is also important to realize that all civilizations are formed this way as well as cultures especial the present ones.

 

Mental Sub-Plane 6, 7: (7 Branch Races & Regions/Nations)

One who has demonstrated that they are not a victim of their emotional reality but are able to organize their feelings.

One who can cheat on tests and yet be on the path—this means they do not need to understand every little thing about a subject—becoming abstracted.

One who has the ability to wrestle with their demons or astral forces of sub-personalities successfully—can dis-identify.

One who can perceive causation as a stream of variables able to be defined and correlated.

One who can open their eyes to the mental world and find a home there.

One who can achieve a mental focus without difficulty and hold it for long periods of time.

One who can achieve a mastery over their creative imagination.

(For myself, mastery of the seventh plane requires that I continue to develop my inner hearing mentally which I did not pursue given I used mental touch in the majority of the cases with other senses to compensate. This can be done by witnessing those upon the physical plane and trying to listen to their thoughts.)

 

Astral Sub-Plane 1:

One who can witness buddhic events subjectively and to understand the reason for a thing in terms of knowingness.

One who can witness cosmic events and understand them with their feelings.

One who can exhibit a high degree of spirituality.

One who can show compassion to others.

One who has the ability to see themselves as spiritual beings and not a human being.

One who can show others the truth of a thing.

One who has the ability to see within the hearts and minds of others to know where they are at.

One who has dedicated their life to god and not religion.

 

Astral Sub-Plane 1 and 2:

On this plane rests those souls who have won special rewards in life and all of the forms created relate to humanity as a whole and these people are considered as being prized by Lords of Karma to be given rest here to assist them in balancing their perspectives on what they had created while in life (heaven world).

It would be good to see this plane as a place where a life of goodness resides in all ways as well as a life without any care at all.

There are other life forms that dwell here related to those created by humanity and feed through their history.

As well as those devic lives who ensoul these related forms built.

It is important to have a sense of this plane as being where the buddhic plane can be and is contacted as well as monadic plane and the cosmic and systemic astral.

On this plane are found several important archetypes for the rays.

On this plane are also found archetypes for the races.

As well as archetypes for different groups.

 

Astral Sub-Plane 1, 2, and 3:

One who has demonstrated their abilities to govern themselves.

One who believes that they are responsible for their lives.

One who can be counted on for their service.

One who can be seen as a giver and not a taker.

One who can believe in others as well as themselves.

 

Astral Sub-Plane 3:

On this plane there exists a greater clarity of forms as well as fewer forms than those of the fourth sub-plane.

Also individuals who are considered spiritual as opposed to worldly—relative.

Also on this plane are those who profess to be aspirants of religious teachings.

As well as aspirants of other disciples.

It would be good to see the type of forms created here as being more inclusive in their intent s well as more abstract emotionally; as well as less egoistical.

It would also be good to realize that these forms are still prone to glamour and illusion as well as produce maya.

It would also be good to realize that those humans who are passing through are experiencing just so much of this plane as they have the capacity to.

Each person goes to devachan after death on/of physical, etheric, lower astral vibrations and concrete mental concepts.

Each person also spends time here interacting with others still living in their memories as well as those whom have passed on.

 

Astral Sub-Plane 3 and 4:

One who has the ability to see themselves as a human being and not just as a human with desires.

One who can be trusted.

One who has the ability to be with another person out of love and sharing.

One who has the ability to see themselves as being organized in terms of their feelings.

 

Astral Sub-Plane 4:

On this plane we have more developed humanity in terms of awareness and sensitivity.

As well as people coming and going.

As well as domestic animal forms.

As well as kama forms created by humanity.

As well as those beings we call astral and plane devas.

As well as those beings responsible for the maintenance of the karmic records by Lords of Karma.

It is feasible to assume that human beings operate in the west from this dimension and that their sensitivity to these forms as considered normal as well as expected expression of these forms.

It can also be assumed that what you see from this level exists within the framework of normal daily life.

As well as all forms contacted on this level can be interpreted as existing within the racial thought form of existing cultures and civilizations.

 

Astral Sub-Planes 4 and 5:

The average human being in the west.

It is uncertain what to put here as there are thousands of examples possible as for all the rest.

 

Astral Sub-Plane 5:

On this plane you have all of those personality lives we call human but most of western humanity dwells daily on the fourth sub-plane not this sub-plane given the point in consciousness.

As well as animal forms.

You also have those beings that have passed out of lower planes in the abstraction process.

As well as those beings waiting for incarnation.

There are those beings we call astral elementals who have been created by humanity over time.

There are also those beings who ensouls groups of lunar lives such as nations.

 

Etheric Sub-Planes:

Those souls who are considered as yet young souls do not yet fully express any complex feelings but only animal instincts as a rule.

Opportunity for these souls is become fewer on this planet due to widespread organization of western style cultures.

 

Etheric Sub-planes 1, 2, and 3:

On this plane you find sections of the path that relate to center vibrations within your body.

As well as other esoteric beings of odd shapes and sizes.

As well as people who are dead.

As well as everything on the planet as it is physically.

You also find those evolved beings who have no reason to have a physical body appearance unless wants one.

You also have devas. These devas cannot be seen except by those who have developed etheric vision while in body as well as by superior evolved beings.

 

Etheric Sub-plane 4:

On this plane you have physical forms coming into manifestation.

As well as forms going out of manifestation.

Also have etheric devas.

As well as advanced esoteric beings not of human or devic kinds belonging to the Spirit of the Earth.

You also have evolved esoteric beings which make up the universe.

You also have everything on the planet in one form or another.
