If life in infinite, then what does that mean?

It seems you know a great deal about this. Do me a favor. Google my username with no spaces. Go to the docs page and look at the pdf on 10 dimensions. My own view of this is what I have found directly from Sanskrit and not from the tradition of the views of others. Take a look over this sheet I have made and consider it. I know what you are saying about the Trailoka and Gunas, but I think the sources on this are wrong. Sanskrit holds the key to arranging this into dimensions and I think my view is correct. Also, I have found more than one source that state directly that the Astral is Rajas only.

Tell me what you think. Take a look at this quote in the next post I made below.

One more quick thing. Here's a quote from Hindu Scripture.

"A lotus with nine gates enveloped by three strands (Guna) -

This is from the Athara-Veda.

My model fits this perfectly.

I shall do it over the next week or so and get back to you. I need time and reflection to do such things...I need to do it after a pretty intense meditation and when I am in that state and mental framework.

A bit about/behind me. I was raised in Bali and joined the Kapalika school of Tantric Shaivism (Aghora). There are not many of us left now, but we believe in the mystical syncretism of Buddhism and Shaivism through Bhairava (Mahākāla) and Vairochana (Aachana and Lochana). The belief in Mahākāla as being the Lord of Time and an aspect of Shiva is the point at where Hinduism and Buddhism starts to diverge.

That's my spiritual background and lineage anyway and it is a very rare one.

However, I will get back to you after a while, as things such as these cannot be rushed and I need to take it with due thought and consideration based on experience.

Lotus with 9 gates = The 9 Chakras (lotuses)...7 Chakras within in the Astral Body (Pranamaya Kosha/Linga Sharira) and two beyond the Crown (Sahasrara Chakra) in the Auric Akasha.

Enveloped by Three Strands = Ida Nadi, Pingala Nadi and Shushumna Nadi (psychic nerve currents)...it is the route taken from the base Chakra (Muladhara) to the Crown Chakra (Sahasrara Chakra) and beyond that into the two Chakras above the Sahasrara.

So, in this instance, Triloka means Ida (left, feminine, yin, dark, cold, shakti) and Pingala (right, masculine, yang, light, heat) and Shushumna (neither OR both of the above).

That's just a very quick take on that passage from the Athara-Veda.

Yes. Take all the time you need. Consider that each of us are mirrors of the universe, so the Chakras are mirrors of the chart you will be examining. They are our own internal reflection of the larger universe.

Consider this as well. Tamas would be the lower Chakras. Rajas, the three middle. Rajas is the mind, or three centers of mind and communication. In the 10 dimensions, the same applies. They are mirrors of the same above and below, as you will see on my outline.

I realize this is something new, but it is the only way it fits as a parallel to the body. The sages of old missed this in relation to dimensions, because they had no way to relate it. The Akasha states this in the quoted verse, even adding the world Guna at the end. The writer knew, because his entire riddle about the Sun was about this very thing.

Thank you...I was just sitting here, trying to remember all of the things I was taught back in my youth.

"House of 9 Doors...lemme see...

2 eyes...
2 ears...
2 nostrils..
1 mouth...
1 organ of reproduction..
1 organ of excrement..."
