We mean by planes of consciousness, planes of existence a general settled poise or world of relations between Purusha and Prakriti, between the Soul and Nature. For anything that we can call world is and can be nothing else than the working out of a general relation which a universal existence has created or established between itself, or let us say its eternal fact or potentiality and the powers of its becoming. That existence in its relations with and its experience of the becoming is what we call soul or Purusha, individual soul in the individual, universal soul in the cosmos; the principle and the powers of the becoming are what we call Nature or Prakriti. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/the-planes-of-our-existence#p4</ref>

There is a vital plane (self-existent) above the material universe which we see; there is a mental plane (self-existent) above the vital and material. These three together,—mental, vital, physical,—are called the triple universe of the lower hemisphere. They have been established in the earth-consciousness by evolution—but they exist in themselves before the evolution, above the earth-consciousness and the material plane to which the earth belongs. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-lower-nature-or-lower-hemisphere#p3</ref>The higher planes are the higher mind, illumined, intuitive, over mind, supermind. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-higher-planes-of-mind#p1</ref>

~~The higher~~ Each plane is a world in itself, with its own movements, forces, beings, types, forms existing as if for its and their own sake, under its own laws, for its own manifestation without apparent regard for other members of the great series. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-planes-or-worlds-of-consciousness#p10</ref> If we regard the gradation of worlds or planes ~~are~~ as a whole, we see them as a great connected complex movement; the higher ~~mind~~precipitate their influences on the lower, ~~illumined, intuitive~~the lower react to the higher and develop or manifest in themselves within their own formula something that corresponds to the superior power and its action. The material world has evolved life in obedience to a pressure from the vital plane, ~~over~~ mind, in obedience to a pressure from the mental plane. It is now trying to evolve supermindin obedience to a pressure from the supramental plane. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-~~higher~~planes-or-worlds-of-consciousness#p8</ref>Each plane of consciousness contains the others in itself in principle. In the physical consciousness there is a physical mind, a vital force and action which we call the vital physical, and the physical proper or material. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-planes-or-worlds-of-~~mind~~consciousness#p1p13</ref>
