Greetings and salutations, welcome to Madam Tobin’s guide to the esoteric. As I introduce you to the world of shadow games, I have to ask you to please suspend all your disbelief. This is not a world ruled by old white men in robes and masks, but a world of knowledge hidden in plain view for all to see. While these intellectuals who call themselves scientists confuse us with facts and figures, it is nothing more than smoke and mirrors designed to confuse the masses. This game has been played by the masters for centuries. Only now, we are waking up to our true potential and reality of the situation. Together we will weave a story of higher consciousness and drift away from materialism. — Madam Tobin

All of the six major realms are all connected, like a big circle. The problem is that the circle is more like loops, squares and diamonds.
In simple mechanics we see the structure of the realms of reality like a matrix. The higher the planes (or vibration) one sees the looser the structure that can be anchored to reality. In the six realms of reality (not including the sub-planes) we see a hierarchy. The Devi-gati has a very loose matrix held together by rings. This is why, as humans would describe it, it’s called a world of light. Conversely, the world of hell, or Naraka-gati, is governed by tight rules.
The first realm (in no particular order) is called the Devi-gati. This is what the Christians would describe as Heaven. It residents consist of naked babies that float around and play harps all day. This is a very insulting stereotype, but stereotypes exist for a reason.
What’s really going on in Heaven? In a nutshell, singing. This plane is of the highest vibration order. Just imagine the most beautiful voice every. This kind of voice would relax you, even on the worst days. A voice so soft and lovely, it put an angry baby to sleep in seconds. You take that voice and multiply it by a million voices and you have what it like is to spend time in the Heaven realm. The realm is divided up into tiers (a total of 7, according to their own rules). As you move up the tiers, you experience higher host angelic-like beings.
Deva-gati in Sanskrit. Tendō 天道 in Japanese. The realm of heavenly beings filled with pleasure; the deva hold godlike powers; some reign over celestial kingdoms; most live in delightful happiness and splendor; they live for countless ages, but even the Deva belong to the world of suffering (samsara) — for their powers blind them to the world of suffering and fill them with pride — and thus even the Deva grow old and die; some say that because their pleasure is greatest, so too is their misery. - According to the Jade Buddhists
It can be described that the more wings an inhabitant has, the higher of the tier it is. The naked baby, or Cherubim, typically is on the lower order of Angelic residents.
The Serphim Angels typically have four to six wings and are very powerful. It can be argued that there are creatures that exist in these realms that are similar to the Kali and Shiva with multiple faces, this is very true. Many of the stories are consistent, but you have to look at the witness factor.
If one were to rob a bank wearing a bozo mask, there would be several different descriptions of the same event. If you factor in that there were people who saw the even had no concept of who or what Bozo the clown is, the confusion would be even more.
The next realm is what most people now would call the astral realm.
“Asura-gati in Sanskrit. Ashuradō 阿修羅道 in Japanese. The realm of anger, jealousy, and constant war; the Asura (Ashura) are demigods, semi-blessed beings; they are powerful, fierce and quarrelsome; like humans, they are partly good and partly evil.”
Generally, this realm should be avoided because of the constantly shifting loyalties and rules. One day a supreme lord of all he surveys, ruler of the reality is lording over you with unchecked authority, and within an hour he is scrubbing toilets begging for loose change. Why is this realm in such constant flux?
It can be argued that there are several cases prevailing theories for this, and all of them and none of them can be true at the same time.
The nature of the realm and the matrix that holds it together is like a fabric that is trying to be weaved. The problem is that there are so many forces trying to act upon it that, we have 1 sewing machine and 10 people fighting over who’s trying to use it.
Now, there are sub-realms that are connected to it by various points, such as the fairy realm (or land of dreams). This realm has the stability of the earth-realm (human and animal) and the flexibility of the titan realm. Dreams become reality and reality only exists in dreams. Rules are subject to interpretation; after all they are the rules. The best way to survive (or thrive) in the Fairy Realm is to watch old cartoons:
“According to the game’s rules, the two prime directives for Toon players to follow are “Forget Everything You Know” and “Act Before You Think” — Toon RPG
When all else fails, make something up. Those who can make something up the fastest, evolve to become Royalty.
Of course it is. It’s the last of dreams after all. The fairy realm is connected to the Ashra, Manusya-gati (human realm) and Tiryagyoni-gati (animal realm). As you move closer to the human realm it seems to be less chaos-like and more like something from Alice in Wonderland, Pan’s Labyrinth or Cool World. One should note that residents of this sub-realm are too numerous to mention. There are books and people who claim to have first-hand knowledge of this realm. Just remember not to accept any gift from this realm because it’s never what it appears.

It is important to note that the Ashra-gati is, after-all, like the earth realm. Permanent objects like buildings, walls, mountains etc are fixtures on two different planes. Structures that move, cars or doors, often don’t exist on both realms. Generally, non-living immovable objects. Now there are always exceptions to the rules. One of the few exceptions is trees.
Because they are living objects that exists in the astral and earth realm. Furthermore, they are similar to a neuron cell. Trees absorb sunlight and send the spiritual messages down into the bowls of the earth.
The primary residents of this realm are elementals, gods, wandering humans, spirits, free floating thought forms, etc. Like the fairy realm, there are books devoted and so-called experts who claim to have first hand-knowledge of this area. I’m just here to talk about the realms, not the locals.
Do you want to know what it’s like there? Look outside.
These sections of the planes are a little complicated. It’s characterized by low energy and low vibration. It goes by many names such as: shadow realm, hell, hungry ghost real, Preta-gati, purgatory, etc.
Currently, it’s run by the 13-Ghost Kings. These individuals used to be humans that have refused to move on. Many spirits that have refused to accept they are no long alive and wander around (those who are not slaves to the Kings). Occasionally, these hungry ghosts break through and attack, possess or generally make a nuance of themselves. The 13-Yami kings control their respective legions, and are looking to eventually break through to the human realms.
Areas where the earth realm and ghost realm are thin are old grave yards, famous battles, areas of mass murder (Death Camps in Poland and Germany) and suicidal areas (such as suicidal forest or Aokigahara in Japan).
Than, a black pyramid with a white capstone has appeared near the western edge of the abyssal plane. None of the hungry ghosts, 13 kings, their minions or other locals will go near it. For whatever the reason, it has appeared.
The last section that will be discusses is the Hell Realm or Naraki-gati. This is the classical hell that is seen in typical Christian literature, but with major details left out. There are 7 layers to this realm, with hundreds of sub-layers. Typically, one can divide it up with sections devoted to the 7 deadly sins with many areas dedicated to both.

It takes a special kind of individual to enter. This plane is anchored to the shadow realm. The realm’s gates are surrounded by two pillars (called pillars of hell) and wrought-iron door. The door is firmly attached to an angry looking mountain. To be allowed in one must have broken all (or the majority of) the 7-deadly sins. The exception is the 2-hidden sins if one can’t absorb the full course of evil.
Once you are in, or were dragged or invited in, the only way out is to be guided out or fight your way out. This area should be avoided. Only the most corrupt or stupid venture in this realm willingly.
The most dangerous creature that resides in the center of this place is the heard to be a whisper. A creature of such purity that it’s presence corrupts just be the sight alone. It is rumored that this creature takes the guise of a small child of pure innocence. It is a complete mystery of what whom or what this creature can possibly be.
This is not a complete list, but it is to give a person the starter knowledge of what is found there. Thank you and may you be safe in your travels.
