Inter-Plane Influences for Divine Beings

THEE Note: The upper 3 Planes of Existence have been re-conceived as 5 States of Divine Being and the Cosmic Consciousness Plane is included. The bi-directional Channels of influence and interaction between these higher States of Being are developed here from the top down.

From RH'L7_B: Plane of Divine Oneness

■ To L6: Cosmic Forces
Divine Oneness-L7_B is the necessary source of the Divine Will-L6 and all lower Planes of Existence. Exactly how it generates these probably cannot be known, apart from presuming that their existence develops via emanations with opposite valences and implications. Conversely, Cosmic Forces must somehow enter Divine Oneness: presumably by emanating negatively and positively into it—and being absorbed.

So the Channel RH'L7_B ↔ L6_G is named Positive Emanation.
& the Channel RH'L7_B ↔ L6_E is named Negative Emanation.

■ To L5: Divine Creation
If the usual pattern holds, Divine Oneness-L7_B will not directly influence either the Creation Principle-L5_G or the Destruction Principle-L5_E. It simply coexists. Spiritual schemas typically show a «spirit» floating above the «Creator-God». Perhaps, unlike Cosmic Forces-L6, the two Principles are too self-contained, too self-sufficient, and too engaged with Human Planes. The reverse influence is also difficult to imagine.

So there are no Channels here.

■ To L4: Cosmic Consciousness-L4_B
Given the Spirituality Quest and reports of spiritual states, we can be confident that some persons can and do experience Divine Oneness. Over the millennia, many have sought and accessed that state, if only briefly. To provide for the repeated human experiences of being flooded with Divine Oneness-L7_B, there must be a Channel directly to Cosmic Consciousness-L4_B.

So the Channel RH'L7_B ↔ L4_B is named Permeation.

From RH'L6: Plane of Divine Will

From Forces of Light-L6_G

■ To L5: Divine Creation-L5
Two Channels are theoretically possible but only one makes sense.

• Forces of Light-L6_G ↔ Creation Principle-L5_G
  The Creation Principle is «absolute goodness», and this state is understood in terms of ultimate values-PH6L7 of all sorts e.g. Love, Mercy, Beauty, Peace, Strength &c. These values are also the Forces of Light (in the West sometimes called «angels»). So the Creation Principle forms their nature from itself. They in turn are attributes forming and informing the nature of the Creation Principle.

So the Channel RH'L6_G ↔ L5_G is named Formation.

• To the Destruction Principle-L5_E.
  The Destruction Principle shuns the Forces of Light and has no influence there, while those Light Forces in turn have no part to play in the Destruction Principle.

So there is no Channel.

■ To L4: Forces of Light-L6_G ↔ Cosmic Consciousness-L4_B
For many who are spiritually inclined, the primary concern in relating to God is not accessing pure Oneness-L7, but rather the experience of an outpouring of God's Love, God's Mercy, God's Strength, God's Peace &c. These experiences reflect an outpouring, flow and infusion from specific Forces of Light. Continuing imaginative contact with these Forces can be sustaining. In return, the spiritually developed individual infuses the Forces of Light with essential energies—see replenishing the Pleroma.

So the Channel RH'L6_E↔L4_B is named Infusion.

From Diabolic Forces-L6_E

■ To L5: Divine Creation-L5
Two Channels are theoretically possible but only one makes sense.

• Diabolic Forces-L6_E ↔Destruction Principle-L5_E
  Pure Destruction and the Diabolic Forces are manifestations of each other. But they do not create or form each other because they can only pervert or destroy or parasite: i.e. they lack creative powers. Rather they unleash each other. The Destruction Principle operates by unleashing Diabolic Forces, and the Diabolic Forces unleash Pure Destruction.
  More on Pure Destruction

The Destruction Principle is lower down this 10-Centre Tree than the Creation Principle (personified as a Creator-God), and the next step down is human i.e. Cosmic Consciousness-L4_B. Sometimes the Destruction Principle-L5_E is represented by an utterly grotesque satanic or devilish image. However, it is more often personified, with some animal features signifying a lower form of life e.g. horns or a tail. Much of the imagined malign influence revolves around gratifying bodily activities: sex, wealth, infliction of pain, and victory in physical terms. But sometimes knowledge is on offer.

So the Channel RH'L6_E ↔ L5_E is named Unleashing.

• To the Creation Principle-L5_G
  This Channel does not make any sense. The Creation Principle remains apart from Diabolic Forces, neither being affected by them nor seeking to influence them directly. In personified terms, the Creator-God lets The Devil rule that pole of L6-Cosmic Forces.

■ To L4: Diabolic Forces-L6_E↔Cosmic Consciousness-L4_B
A person can find that rage, anger, hate, revenge and similar destructive emotional states become an all-consuming preoccupation. This means the equivalent Diabolic Forces-L6_E (Rage, Anger, Hate &c.) are taking possession of the person's spirit. At such times, it is impossible to discuss anything rationally. The person's damaging impulses lack restraint because they are desired and valued as a possession. The person is almost animal-like and yet with fully human powers to harm and destroy.

So the Channel RH'L6_E ↔ L5_E is named Possession.

From RH'L5: Plane of Divine Creation

■ Creation Principle-L5_G ↔ Cosmic Consciousness-L4_B

In providing for the evolution of mankind, the Creation Principle is represented as Divine Providence. Creation always brings matters to a completion before a new beginning. Lower Planes get distressed and desperate about the suffering and manifest evils associated with this process. However, perfection is evident from the perspective of Cosmic Consciousness where everything just «is» and everything «is good». As the mystic Julian of Norwich put it: "All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well."

Cosmic Consciousness in turn completes and perfects the Creation Principle. Without that Plane, humanity would be too distant from the Divine and unable to be complete.

So the Channel RH'L5_G ↔ L4_B is named Completion (or perhaps Perfection)

■ Destruction Principle-L5_E ↔ Cosmic Consciousness-L4_B

Being on the same Divine Creation Plane, the Destruction Principle can only produce a trick of the light. It enters Cosmic Consciousness through the generation of false images and ideas that lead to distortions, misconceptions and misperceptions. The result is to disintegrate, fragment and make dualities appear wrong. Cosmic Consciousness, in turn, seems to be capable of confronting and breaking up the Destruction Principle and so neutralizing its influence.

So the Channel RH'L5_G ↔ L4_B is named Fragmentation.
