The place and role of the Realm

The UCCM's spiritual realm is located in high Eden, but its boundaries extend downwards into low Eden and upwards into high Heaven. The development of this realm has recently begun. The borders of the Realm are guarded by energy walls. Entry through energy gates is possible by having a leader or trustee servant of the realm bring the soul of the deceased into this plane of existence. Persons in the physical body can enter through meditation if they have been authorised (initiated) to do so, or if they know the password (multiple passwords are possible), or if they are able to enter based on their inner knowledge. All the services of the Realm are available to anyone who has been authorised to enter, whether he/she has physical or another body. 

This realm was created so that souls could continue their development without being born on a physical level, so the realm is more like a boarding school on a high spiritual plane. The school trains souls at different levels, so it is also possible to descend into the material world if the soul insists on physically experiencing certain desires. In this case, the realm is a temporary home for the soul while it prepares for its next incarnation. If a soul no longer needs to experience the physical plane, it can ascend with the realm or, in the case of faster development, precede it. One will experience a limitation in this regard only within oneself. 

The realm still contains the sensations familiar on the physical plane, i.e. the objects of the five senses: shapes (touch), tastes (tongue), smells (nose), sight (eyes), hearing (ears). But what is different from earthly conditions is that they are manifested outside the individual in a completely purified form, thanks to the high entities that assist in the realm. Consequently, in the realm, it is easier to purify the senses, for whatever contamination is perceived to be due solely to the observer, who thus immediately perceives that the fault lies within himself/herself. 

How the Realm works
 

In the realm, we create everything by thought and in the followings we are responsible for it hereafter. Autonomous creation is pursued by those who are able to take the responsibility that comes with it. The others can choose a creation process (project) that is already underway and stand behind it, helping to make it happen. However, everyone has the opportunity to create living conditions (their own dwelling place, garden) for themselves, depending on their abilities. Here they can live alone or with partners. In these mini realms, he/she exercises and perfects his/her own creative capacity. These mini realms are located in areas away from the central units and their territory extends into low Eden. Transport happens by thought, and for those who cannot travel on this way, air transport is provided between the central areas and the periphery.

In the realm, only the archetypes of animals are present. Since this realm has really school's purpose, here everything serves for development. The aim is to purify the astral-mental body of all animal instincts. The obstacle of this would be the incorporation of the astral level of animals, and if we embrace these we would be responsible for raising them up. We have to concerne only with raising ourselves, we should leave the raising of animals to the Creator of the Universe. The realm was created so that in it, without further physical incarnation, we could rise above our residual desires, and accordingly the goal is not to fulfill desires, but to eliminate them. Only the desire for God and service can remain in the minds of those who wish to exist here permanently. For the rest, we can only provide a temporary residence and prepare for their earthly incarnation. If one were create animals for oneself, this would drag one's consciousness back to lower planes of existence. If one were develop a sexual desire for a mate what he/she cannot experience as pure love, then both in case of reciprocation and rejection, both must be born into physical existence. We have then nothing to do with others' desire if we are not even aware of it or we sublimate it. 

Although there are leaders and led in the realm, the hierarchical structure in the earthly sense is unknown. There is no hierarchy of subordination and superordination in the Unity. Only those can be leaders who can sustain themselves by their own strength in the realm and who can rise with the realm. They can use any means to do this; to purify and to fill themselves with divine energy. They can meditate, pray, practice mantra, yoga, and thus keep their consciousness at the right level. 

Evolving souls remain inhabitants of the realm through the energetic assistance of the guides. In return, they commit themselves to progress and serve the community of the realm, i.e. they perform the day-to-day activities in order to enable the leaders to ensure the spiritual upliftment of the realm. In the realm there is possibility for both spiritual ascent and descent. This means that one can rise faster than the realm as a whole. This is definitely a welcome development, because if one of our companion is able to do this, his/her spiritual help will in the long run help the realm to develop further. There is therefore a self-regulating mechanism whereby the level of consciousness of souls will be proportional to the energy they have invested in their own development. One can also evolve through service, so if one does not seek to raise consciousness, one can also rise through love and care.
