Subtle realm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In esoteric, emanationist, New Age, and integral thought, the Subtle realm or Subtle Reality consititutes an intermediate link in the emanation series or chain of being; more spiritual and intangible than the gross realm, but not as abstract, refined, or spiritual as the causal realm. It is usually associated or identified with the subtle body or bodies, the astral plane, and psychic reality. In Radhasoami cosmology, the Subtle Realm is described as a vast region, the home of many gods of the various religions, and a place where the spiritual seeker can easily be sidetracked (compare with Sri Aurobindo's Intermediate zone)
