As I've described in the past, her revelation that the Planes are organized like the keys of a piano (i.e. 12 total Planes with seven outer Planes and five inner Planes) became the foundation for me to understand and now describe the broader reality of our universe. Utilizing the reality of the double helix of DNA, I intuited that the four levels of inner and outer would have the same organization. Therefore, the inner of the inner is composed of five Realms just as the inner of the outer includes five Planes.

So what is the makeup of this inner of the inner, or inner Subjectivity? Beats me was my first conclusion; especially since I had no conscious experience of it. As I found in writing various aspects of my first volume of God, Man and the Dancing Universe, the answer was going to have to come from somewhere outside of myself.

Our Innermost Spiritualizing 
Realms of Subjectivity

by Jef Bartow

A number of fields of study have delved into and described parts of outer Subjectivity. Psychology has focused on the Dream Realm and now the subjective Physical Realm through lucid dreaming and out of body experiences. Western theology has described various parts of the Heaven Realm. Metaphysics describes inner Beings living in inner Retreats which have been located as part of the subjective Realm of Meaning (Realm of Archetypes).

Both Eastern and Western mysticism describe ethereal and spiritual levels which we have described in previous articles relating to higher outer subjective realms of Being and Forces. The only doors I found to other realms of existence come from psychology and Eastern mysticism. Each identifies that we have a level of consciousness which can be experienced in deep sleep. Unfortunately, little information is available regarding the specifics of this elusive reality.

My journey into identifying this reality began with my mentor/spiritual teacher. In one of our discussions, he simply pointed out that there are four levels of inner and outer. There is the outer and inner of the outer and the outer and inner of the inner. Highly baffled, I put this into my databank as something that might be valuable in the future.

I could spend the rest of this article in describing my process of intuiting and contemplating the answers. Instead, let me succinctly identify and outline five subjective Realms in this and the last article in this series, which only a few have ever had conscious experience of. Like the black keys on a piano, there is a split between three higher (i.e. spiritualizing) inner Realms and two lower (i.e. materializing) Realms.

Realm of Attraction

Something must always be a beginning or the end, even in an infinite process. Our highest inner Plane is that of Love. Attraction is a characteristic of Love. As side-by-side inner expressions, the Love Plane and the Realm of Attraction form a compatible pair. As the Love Plane expresses a more willful side of Love, the Realm of Attraction expresses the more attractive side.

The eastern philosopher P.D. Ouspensky brings a poignant perspective here in that "Infinity attracted me." Infinity is the boundary of the unknowable, incomprehensible. My closest experience of this "Infinity" definitely pulled me toward it, drawing me out of myself toward an abstraction I knew was beyond my ability to understand.

H. P. Blavatsky provides another perspective. "If you try to embrace in the unity of a single law all these bodies and their movements, if you seek the word which explains, in this vast panorama of our universe, this prodigious harmony, where all seems to obey the empire of a single force, you pronounce a word to express it, and say Attraction!”

Finally, the emerging science of Wholeness defines what become "attractors." "Nature does not permit processes whose final states she finds less attractive than their initial states." Therefore, a prime ingredient in the order within chaos which describes all living organisms and life in our universe is an attractor. "An attractor is a region of phase space which exerts a magnetic appeal for a system, seemingly pulling the system toward it."

Realm of Intention

The second inner Realm of Intent is creatively unfolded from the interaction of inner Attraction and outer Forces; 2 and 3 create 4. To me, the intercourse of attraction and forces creates intent. Intent is the Energy (Processes) which moves everything toward its end result. Intent is the "Will-to-relate" (Force), which helps all manifested life to fulfill God's purpose and plans.

An excellent source in understanding Intent comes from the teachings of don Juan Matus. The following provides various perspectives that don Juan elucidates on Intent:

"Intent gives focus to everything and makes the world happen."
Intent "binds our vows and promises," with everything being "consistently                      directed toward fulfillment of them."
"Intense sets up a path for attainment" and "comes only from something that is abstract."
Intent is the "purposeful guiding of wills; the energy of alignment."
Intent is the "silent voice of the Spirit," the spirit that moves.
Intent is the "active side of Infinity."

Transpersonal psychology provides a completely different view of Intent. In describing the concept of libido, C. G. Jung makes it a specific form of intentionality: "Libido expands into a conception of intentionality in general." It is "the creative force which man knows only by subjective experience." Rollo May elucidates more on intentionality. "Intentionality is not to be identified with intentions but is a dimension which underlies them." Ken Wilber further explains that: "(intentionality)... includes both a willing (cognitive) and a knowing (cognitive)." He also makes reference to a higher-order intentionality from which all meaning emanates.

Realm of Colour

Consciousness is the Consciousness, or result Son Aspect within the Trinity (Father, Mother, Son) of the First Realm of Coherence. Symbolically, Coherence and Rays produced Consciousness. This level of Consciousness is not the same as cThis lowest spiritualizing inner Realm sandwiched between the outer Realm of Being and the outer Realm of Meaning or Archetypes provides an inner pivotal transition. The key to my intuitive conclusion regarding this realm came from theoretical physics, of all places. In describing quantum-level quarks and their properties, theoretical physicists oddly enough began using the terms color and flavor. Colour relates to the disposition, or properties, not to our eyes perception of differentiated light. Reflecting on science's use of the term, one Process of Colouring endows properties to the expression of Life from the higher outer Realm of Being.

Philosophy relates here in defining five families of colour. Two of the five families relate to "disposition." Colour is a "genus." A genus is a family of severally closely related species. From Eastern mysticism, colours indicate certain properties or spiritual associations. "They convey the particular vibration, characteristic for each aspect of transcendent knowledge or Wisdom." Colours affect the "innermost spiritual attitude."

To Jung, colour is the integration of all qualities or "intimate synthesis of all qualities and elements." "Colours are the means of expressing moral quality and situations." In this case, the influence of Colouring from this Realm engenders the integration of all qualities and elements of the manifested soul into the ultimate subjective self-conscious Soul. The Energy (Processes) of Coloring endows certain properties, character and disposition into the Life which expresses the inner Presence’s intent. With its disposition, Life expresses soul in the outer Heaven Realm, which later become self-conscious Souls in the outer Realm of Meaning, adjacent to this Realm of Colour.
