It is said that the formless realms can be somewhat distinguished from each other.
The formless realm of perception of the infinity of space,
The formless realm of perception of the infinity of consciousness.
The formless realm of perception of nothingness
and the formless realm of neither perception nor non-perception.
There are just the higher Jhana's and they do appear to rise from one to the next.
There also seem to be 5 distinct pure land states attainable through concentration meditation.
