The Beyond
A person's Spirit exists within the 4th energy level and beyond (Higher Energies), maintaining only a tenuous connection into the Deep Mind through the most subtle levels of the Deepmental.
Beyond the Deep Mind. Beings express themselves simultaneously over 3 levels. Humans are based (essential existence) on the Deepmental level, develop consciousness within the Deepemotional level (initialy sub-conscious) and are fully functioning on the physical level (after about 7 years old).
Only after the 3rd initiation (Human#4 or conditional enlightenment) does the base of a person's existence move to the 4th energy level, the consciousness begins to develop on the Deepmental and the person becomes fully active within the Deepemotional realm. Then the body is no longer necessary for continuing development and after death that person does not usually re-incarnate in the physical world. They initially withdraw fully to the Deepmental but will usually re-incarnate within the Astral (Deepemotional) as the essential being or Intelligence can only further refine itself through the interaction of consciousness within the Deepmental and activity within the Astral.
At the 4th initiation, essential being is based on the 5th energy level, consciousness begins to develop on the 4th and the person becomes fully active on the 3rd, the Deepmental. While they retain a connection into the Etheric and Astral levels as long as the body lives, on its death they withdraw fully to the 4th energy level, where after a time they will almost certainly re-appear on the Deepmental to further their inner refinement. Occasionally these people will choose to re-incarnate into the Astral, or even the physical realm, in order to help evolving beings on those levels.
Ramanamaharshi speaks: "So long as the ego lasts, effort is necessary. No one succeeds without effort. The few who do succeed owe their success to their perseverance. But your effort can extend only so far. Then the Beyond will take care of itself. You are helpless there. No effort can reach it."
