Planes of existence
The human experience is lived on many planes simultaneously. Most people are only aware of the physical reality, and even then, it is filtered by the conditioning of the mind. Some few people will also be aware in the mental plane. For the emotional plane, the candidates are even harder to find. Very few people feel the plane of willpower and bio-electricity.
The four planes of the human existence are as follow:
1- Mental
2- Emotional
3- Ethereal
4- Physical
Note that there are other planes of existence as a spiritual being.
The mental plane is the plane where we think. Many people think, but very few are "aware" of the mental activity. To become aware of your mental plane, you have to study yourself meticulously. There is a necessity to discover which mental patterns you do because of conditioning. These conditioning patterns help us integrate ourselves in society, but when we are not aware of them, they prevent us from reaching mental freedom. We must not get rid of our conditionings, but we must refine them so that it can serve our expansion rather than fix us into present behaviors without awareness.
The emotional plane is where resides desire, fear and anger. It is the plane of attraction and repulsion (although every plane has it's polarity mechanism). It is the plane where we define our preferences, most of the time out of fear and anger. Even people who think they are confident will show sings of fear or anger. It is easy make a mask of confidence and trust, but beneath we often fight between our desires, our fears and our angers. To be aware of the emotional plane, we must accept to feel pain inside, from time to time, but we should not play the role of the victim and sink into depression. Let yourself feel your emotions without playing a game of victim, persecutor, or savior. Pay attention to your decisions, a be aware of what motivates your choices. One motive is not always better than another; the goal is to be aware and accept to fell emotions.
The Ethereal plane is the place of willpower, determination, activity and energy. This plane is the container of our bio-electricity, our CHI, our life-force. This plane can be week with laziness, or strong with activity. In order to get the spiritual energies to the physical plane, the energy body must be active, and it's channels must be kept clean. Do breathing exercises and chi-gong to keep your energy body healthy. To become aware of this body, you have to pay attention to the little feelings of flowing energy inside your limbs. Many people could feel those energy flows, but are so unavailable to be aware of themselves than they can't even accept that such a thing is possible.
The physical plane is the finality of creation, and it is also the place where we learn. In the physical world, everything takes place. This is the plane to be aware of, to pay attention to, because here are manifested all the signs, lessons and dreams of our spirit. We will give more chance to our evolution by keeping a good physical health. It is not necessary to become an athlete. In the physical plane will be projected every problem found on other planes of existence. You should take the time to observe your physical body and your physical surroundings, to find out what you could resolve or get better. Everything problem you rectify in the physical plane with awareness, it will also be rectified in the other planes.
Develop virtues in your heart and your mind; act with power and gentleness; move and rectify your physical experience; and the spiritual worlds will open to you, revealing their powers and abilities for you to use. Then, you might even be tempted to use these without virtue, and that might just let you have more lessons in life. Isnt it great to receive from life what you put into it!
