Thanks to a friend i have the book Astrological World Cycles by Tara Mata. She explains the Lokas in this book. This subject is also referred to in the Holy Science by Sri Yukteswar. Since our lovie Anne talks often and mentions the soft lokas i am trying to understand in a way that does not show a callousness to her perceptions and experiences. This is just an introduction to the subject and i hope some of you participate.

It seems that the universe is divided into seven spheres or Lokas the lowest four are governed by the laws of Maya (ignorance illusion)and we inhabit those spheres (also called swargas) In the first Loka which is referred to as the Bhu Loka the mentality is one in which there is a confinement to the problems of material objectivity. There is a dependency on nature and the life to which human beings function is menial since it is confined to world of gross matter. When most of humanity is functioning on this level they are said to be in the Kali Yuga.

When we gain an understanding of the finer forces and more subtle matters of creation we become a part of the Dwija or twice-born class since our minds have arisen above the grave of belief in materialism. When most of humanity functions on this level they are said to be in the Dwapara Yuga. An age in which we are now making a transition into on this earth for this time period.
In this stage we begin to understand that all matter in the final analysis is nothing but expressions of energy; vibratory force electrical attributes. In this time span of evolution the concept of space is annihilated.

In the Siva or swa  Loka (third stage) we extend our power over the attributes of universal magnetism; positive and negative, repulsion and attraction. In this time frame of evolution we pierce the third veil that of time. The illusion of time which produces the sense of change. When most of our brothers and sisters are in this period or Yuga they are known to be in the period of Treta Yuga. In this consciousness there is an absence of matter whether gross or fine. Our understanding rises above such illusions.

Finally in the four lower yugas that place us under maya or illusion, we enter the Satya period This fourth sphere that we as individuals enter is Maha Loka. When most of humanity is in this sphere heaven itself is manifest on earth. Our intelligence reaches out to grasp the mystery of om the creative power that sustains the universe. In this Maha Loka we as a human race enter into the heart chakra and understand the universal magnetism so that we are in tune with the divine plan.

Thanks Namaste2All and Yoshi in Sutra 13 we get a very clear glimpse of just where we find ourselves in our spiritual evolution.  It is clear that many of us here on the forum have somewhat transcended the lowest loka that of the illusion of this material creation. We  have seen the mistakes and gained wisdom by realizing that we are not able to find our ultimate happiness in this material creation. Therefore unlike many of the people we see around us; we no longer place our faith or trust in the effort to accumulate material objects or in the belief that any person or object can give us permanent happiness. We see people driving expensive cars or having expensive houses and know that behind it there is an emptiness. There is still not happiness and most of these people have been traveling down dead end roads. We see the beautiful physical bodies on billboards that sell us the illusion that somehow having the perfect body or having a partner with such qualities will give us ultimate happiness.

We have risen above this Bhuloka which is the gross material creation and gone to the Bhuvarloka where we are in tune with inner experiences. It is true that we may still have many attachments to this physical world yet we have glimpses into another world that of electricities and more subtle properties of this dimension. i think many of us find comparisons and share experience with these finer vibrations to verify our own sanity in a world in which we find ourselves that is mentally and spiritually ill.

Some of us even find ourselves having glimpses and wisdom that correlates to a higher age then the one we are presently engaged in. We have an understanding, at this time of history, of magnetism and how it works. We feel attractions and then realize we are repulsed by the very thing we are attracted to. You can see this happening in relationships all the time. People who just are infatuated or attracted to others who later leave them with out any shame.

After a while we begin to see the tricks that this creation is playing on us. We start balancing the thoughts and feelings that release within us. Whether the mass of humanity is with us or not we begin to have perceptions akin to the Swarloka.

Lastly in the physcal realms. At times we might have realizations about our divine purpose. We might even have an opening of the heart that is  akin to the mass of humanity in a much higher age then the one we are living in . It is called the Satya Yuga and thus if we function on this loka even for a few moments we have the experience of being in the Maharloka.

It is important to recognize the Sri Yukteswar wrote the Holy Science for our benefit in the year 1894. As you can see he was way ahead of his time then (and now). We can take comfort in the fact that we too our ahead of most of humanity crawling snail like towards an understanding of spirit. Sure we too may manifest some of the qualities of the lower Lokas and the lower ages. But generally speaking we meet here sharing our experiences of a vaster spiritual understanding, otherwise we would be spending our time reading the tabloids, going to bars, worshiping the stars of music fame and film screen and gaining friends on Facebook.

Awesome thread!  So much love and wisdom here.

And I always feel so hopeful in places like these where you know you are not alone in understanding that there is "more", so much more.

Love to all
