3. The Incorporeal or Soul World - also known as Nirvana. Residence of God, the Supreme Soul, where all human souls came from and will finally return to for a period of rest and rejuvenation. A region of golden red light where there is no movement and no sound just absolute Peace and Power. We can connect with The Supreme Soul here through our thoughts. The Three Worlds The Subtle Regions - also known as The Astral Plane. Here there is no sound only movement of subtle beings. We can travel to this region with the mind through our thoughts. The Corporeal or Physical World - where all the planets and entire solar system exist. The world of sound, movement and tangible, physical objects. Souls play roles through different bodies here.

4. The Physical World  The world in which we are now living is known as the physical or corporeal world, because all living beings here have a gross, corporeal or manifest form.  The physical earth can be thought of as a vast stage where we ‘play our parts’ in the drama of life, in different bodily ‘costumes’.  It can also be thought of as a field, where seeds of action are sown and fruits are reaped as experiences of happiness and sorrow.  Here ‘time’, ‘space’, ‘history’ and ‘geography’ are important parameters of existence; here the laws of science apply.  It is a world of expression and experience.

5. The Subtle World  Beyond the limits of the vast expanse of our solar system and distant galaxies there are regions of non-material light, unreachable by physical means and inaccessible to the physical senses.  These realms can only be experienced through deep meditation and divine insight.  The subtle world is an intermediate dimension of pure, positive luminous energy in which there is the experience of one’s subtle body of light and communication with other souls through pure spiritual thoughts and vibrations.

6. The Soul World  Beyond the physical realm of action and the subtle realm of pure thought lies an infinite, timeless dimension of complete stillness, silence and peace.  Suffused with golden-red luminosity, this is the realm of God, the Supreme Being, Parent of all souls. It is the original home of all souls, where we once dwelt in a dormant, seminal state of total belongingness and bliss.  Experiencing this ‘supreme region’ (Paramdham) of highest consciousness in meditation renews and recharges the soul, empowering it with the strength to play its part in the physical world with peace, equanimity and enlightened clarity.

7. Going Home In Raja Yoga meditation, not only do I journey inward to experience my essential self; I also journey upward into higher consciousness, going beyond the awareness of the physical body and the physical world. With practice I am able to perceive and experience the dimension of the soul world, of pure soul consciousness, beyond sound, activity and thought. In this place or state of awareness I experience complete freedom, peace, rest and comfort, as if I’ve come home to a place where I truly belong and where I can simply be.

8. I picture myself…..a pinpoint of light…..in the center of the forehead…..in the awareness of the subtle existence of the soul …..I step out of the body and go beyond the Physical World …..beyond the moon and stars to a dimension of golden red light …..the original home of all souls…..here I immerse myself in the warmth of this light…..I feel as though….. I have truly come home…..at last…..meeting with God the Supreme Soul.….the ever flowing fountain of Peace, Love, Happiness…..all Virtues…..I absorb his energy into my mind…..the pure, powerful vibrations of this Blissful and Merciful Being…..the unconditional Love of God…..my Father, …..my Mother,…..my Friend,....my Beloved,.……transforms the quality of my mind…..restoring the original qualities of peace, love, purity and happiness…..I stay here for as long as I need…..then return to the body…..feeling rejuvenated and transformed.
