The worlds are formed as spherical theatres of life. Each planet is
uniquely conceived to furnish each being with a domain appropriate
to its desire. Beings with complementary desires come together to inhabit
a world and play out their self-appointed roles in the drama of universal
unfoldment. Just as beings with complementary desires attract one another
to fill a world stage for the most engaging performances, so worlds
with complementary purposes are linked to weave together the diverse
narratives of universal life.
This universe has its outer realms, which are grosser and resultant,
and its inner realms, which are subtler and generative. The outer realms
hold worlds that are more of effect than cause, while the inner realms
hold worlds that are more of cause than effect. Worlds of the inner
realms generate worlds of the outer realms, just as creatures of the
inner realms sponsor creatures of the outer realms. Each world is not
only tied by gravity to the other worlds of its realm; each world is
also tied by cause and effect to other worlds in other realms. Thus
lineages of worlds run through the nested realms of this universe.
Worlds of different realms that are linked through cause and effect
enjoy a profound affinity and an active resonance, like the parents
and children of a family. When the creatures of an outer world call
upon its sponsoring inner world, the creatures of that inner world
will vigorously respond...
