Inner Planes
Humans in their physical bodies, experiencing incarnation in the physical world, are in space/time or outer planes; whereas the non-physical half or portion of the third-density experience is in time/space, or inner planes.
The inner planes are experienced by entities in between incarnations, both in the review and healing of the previous incarnation, and in the planning of the coming incarnation. The inner planes may also be entered in the dreaming state and in other modes of non-ordinary consciousness.
The inner planes contain the various subtle planes, including the astral, devachanic, and etheric, each level more advanced than its predecessor. The inner planes are populated with positively and negatively oriented beings who, in the higher levels, serve as guides and teachers for both polarities, and who, in the lower levels, are more simple thought-form entities.[42] Some residents of the inner planes are also members of the Confederation of Planets or the Council of Saturn.
Time/space is [the inner planes are] no more homogenous than space/time [the outer planes]. It is as complex and complete a system of illusions, dances, and pattern as is space/time, and has as structured a system of what you may call natural laws. – 70.17
The third-density entity may interact with and/or call upon those of the inner planes through dream work, ritual, meditation, and other means. Conversely, those of the inner planes may reach out to those in the third-density-outer planes to offer service. This service ranges from temptation, challenge, and difficulty on the negative end, to assistance, guidance, comfort and support on the positive end.
