The following questions are answered in this article:

What is the experience like in the higher realms?
How do Sages spend their time in the higher realms?
How do Sages journey through the different realms?
How is experience like in different realms?

In the higher realms, beings have less individuality and are more connected with their surroundings. They may also take on a transparent form to have other beings perceive them a certain way. If you reside in the higher realms, there is more silence and bliss. Things become more still with less activity. There is more vibrancy of sharp colors oozing with the feeling of absolute love. Wherever you wish to be, you can instantly get there by using your own power of thought and attention. There are no limitations as to how fast you can travel since thoughts and attention travel faster than the speed of light and happen instantaneously. This power that you have when residing in these higher planes is that of 'viveka'. If your attention or awareness is powerful enough to expose any realm through inner discrimination, you will naturally find yourself in those higher planes in an instant. This is the exact power Sages will use when they die physically. They will take their attention and awareness to penetrate a higher dimension just by withdrawing themselves into it. However, those who don't have this power are often confined to lower realms and are carried by lower forces pervading the lower regions. These forces carry them to the lower heavens upon death of the physical body, and these individuals will travel to and from these realms until they evolve further to transcend them.

In the lower heavens, earthly experiences are planned with higher guides prior to incarnation. This allows them to expand their consciousness by learning through experiences. When consciousness levels are heightened, the power of 'viveka' will proportionately increase, and will take them to higher realms where they can roam freely without limitations and not be confined to lower regions. This power is cultivated through many incarnations (lifetimes) until mastery of desires, emotions and thoughts are cultivated. These qualities come naturally to the Sages/Ascended Masters with a purified mind. Once cultivated, they can leverage this power to instantly transport to higher planes where it is more heavenly and silent. The knowledge in the higher realms is that of more connectedness and truth since subtlety pervades. There is less ego and more bliss experienced because the degrees of separation are extremely low. The higher the realms, the less activity and less beings you see around you since there is not much separation. But if you take your attention (while in the higher realms) and wish to experience something with more activity, you will magically appear in the lower worlds (which will be more astral than causal). Beings there are occupied with lower forms of knowledge since those realms are grosser expressions of reality. In other words, since there is more of a disconnect between oneself and others, there now exists feelings such as greed, envy, jealousy, insecurities, etc. The more deeper the planes become, these qualities can no longer survive since separation begins to decrease. As a result, there is more love, light and bliss.

There is always a hidden urge to experience lower realms to help uplift others and to experience something new. When attention is brought there, your power is noticeable by others in lower astral regions as an innate knowing that comes through telepathically. Many will want your assistance because your very vibration is enough to spread light wherever you go. Beings will naturally be attracted to you since they want to feel your presence, which in turn, makes their presence stronger.

As a Sage, you are a traveler throughout all realms. Your very power can take you ANYWHERE. Sages not only use viveka without the body, but use it while operating the body. This is done in samadhi when the inner sheaths or inner bodies are exposed and where intuition or divine wisdom is revealed. The same meditative state you can be in while in the body, is the same meditative state you can be in without the body. This means if you are a Sage living in the physical realm, you should have the power to expose the higher realms through your own awareness. Either you are unaware of your own power and will eventually cultivate it, or it is a realized siddhi you currently use. To become liberated, you have to expose these higher realms (i.e. deeper parts of the mind) before they can be negated. Because in order to fully negate, the subtle parts of the mind must be exposed directly. How else can you negate them if they are not exposed? What will there be to negate? Only then can you transcend them and expose the deeper parts eventually exposing turiya. Therefore, inquiry is not possible until these higher realms are exposed.
