| | A Metaphysical "Map" of Consciousness/Reality - "Vertical" Axis |
 | | With the occult revolution of the 19th Century, the concept of Seven "Planes" of existence was codified by a H.P. Blavatsky and Max Theon, and further developed by Sri Aurobindo, Alice Bailey, Gurdjieff (the "ray of creation") Sant Mat, and the New Age movement. |
 | | The two are balanced, as in the shamanic cosmology, Sri Aurobindo's Subconscient/Inconscient and Superconscient, and the Lower and Higher Unconscious in Roberto Assagioli's Psychosynthesis "Egg Diagram". |
 | | It is suggested here that, in addition to their existence as worlds, universes, and phenomena in their own right, these various planes, octaves, and resonances exert occult influences on physical evolution; and that emergent physical evolution involves the embodiment and physicalisation of successive resonances or ocatves from the "vertical" ontocline. |
