Astral plane (Lila)

This is the plane of dreams, fantasies and soaring imagination. There is awareness of how diverse the phenomenal world is, with all its possibilities. No longer troubled by lacking means for survival, the player expresses himself in the creative arts and in sexuality and sensual indulgence. Although heaven may now be imagined as a possibility, over-excitement may carry him away, depleting his energy and leading to exhaustion.

The 14th state or square on the board of Lila, the game of knowledge, appearing in the second row. This is the second of eight lokas represented on the spine of the board and marking a stage in the development of the individual's consciousness. The first seven represent a psychic centre or chakra on the spine of the human body, a level of psychic evolution. An eighth loka lies beyond the chakras. Each loka is defined by the nature of the matter of which it is composed. The eight other states in the same row may be considered as special regions within the loka.
