That there are in fact many Planes in the Spirit World is taught by Jesus in the Bible where He says; "In my Father's House are many Mansions."(John 14:2) Eckankar refers to what I call the Higher Astral Plane as the Causal Plane. The Eck Master Paul Twitchell taught that; Ramkar [is] the Lord of the… Causal Plane; the power supply station for all the worlds below (Eckankar Dictionary p119) I believe the mantra for this lower Plane Lord is RAM, RAMA or simply RA.
Sri Paul Twitchell
In his book "Heaven and Hell" the angels teach Emanuel Swedenborg: "In the spiritual world, the heavens are in the loftiest regions... From time to time the heavens are seen as heavy clouds or as bright clouds... The only access to an angelic community is by a narrow way and its beginning is similarly guarded... The doors and gates to heavenly communities are not visible, except to people who have become ready for heaven; other people do not find them... There are three heavens quite distinct from each other- an inmost or third heaven, an intermediate or second, and an outmost or first... The more inward reaches of a person, too, the regions of his inner and outer mind, are arranged in a similar design... The third or inmost heaven is called celestial... the second or intermediate heaven is called spiritual... the outmost or first heaven is called natural... There is an "inner" and an "outer" to each heaven. People in the "outer" are called "outer" angels. People who are in the inmost heaven have their third or inmost level opened, their second and and first levels closed. Since for angels of the inmost heaven the more inward elements are opened on the third level, their perfection vastly exceeds the perfection of angels in the intermediate heaven, whose inward elements are opened on the second level... This distinctiveness means that an angel of one heaven cannot have access to angels of another heaven... but when (as often happens) the Lord raises people from a lower heaven to a higher one to see the glory there, it is different. In such cases they are prepared first... In heaven, there are two distinct loves- love for the Lord and love toward the neighbour. Love for the Lord dwells in the inmost or third heaven; love towards the neighbour dwells in the second or intermediate heaven."
Emanuel Swedenborg
