Let's say I want a Ph.D. on that subject, what resources do I refer to?
It was first mentioned in Vishnu Purana.
Anything you can tell me about that would be really helpful, especially about the 7th plane, I have only been able to understand a little bit till the 6th plane (which is known by different names such as Christ consciousness, samadhi, cosmic consciousness etc.)

There are only 5 sheaths...but what you are speaking about sounds more like the 7 chakras to me.

Oh ,yes ...there are only 5 sheaths .... I have dyslexia so at times I confuse one number with the other ...mostly 7 changes to 5, 2 and 8 interchange ... etc.

Different systems divide the sheaths (subtle bodies) and planes differently.
Regarding the sheaths, one system has five Koshas or subtle bodies: - Physical body
- Energy body
- Mental body
- Wisdom body
- Bliss body
And other systems have seven bodies: - Dense physical
- Etheric physical or the energy body
- Astral body or the emotional body
- Mental body
- Buddhic body or intuition
- Atmic body
- The Monad (or the true Being)
Regarding the seven planes, Theosophy/Alice Bailey gives these as (highest downwards): - The Plane of Adi or the Divine
- The Monadic plane
- The Atmic plane
- The Buddhic plane
- The Mental plane
- The astral plane
- The physical plane (incorporating the dense physical and the etheric physical).
These seven planes are each divided into seven sub-planes, thus giving 49 sub-planes.
But these seven planes are also systemic planes within what is termed the Cosmic Physical. And beyond the Cosmic Physical is the Cosmic Astral, and beyond the Cosmic Astral is the Cosmic Mental, and so on.
Human evolution takes place within the seven planes of the Cosmic Physical. The evolution of higher Beings (such as the Being whose physical body is our Sun) occurs on the higher Cosmic planes.
All of which may seem quite complex, but once we grasp the principles there is great beauty in how the higher is reflected in the lower.
Peace.

I was talking about these planes, they are inherent in every human being.
http://www.sacred-texts.com/sro/sdr/sdr08.htm
The 5th and 6th planes are Soul consciousness/super consciousness and cosmic consciousness/supra consciousness respectively.
The 7th level is kept a "secret" from the gen. public. Even many important facts about the 5th and 6th level are kept "secret".

He did a better job than I could ever do!
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner than this, but I am allergic to this time of year and it takes me about a month to get over all the societal pressure, the "forced fun" and unrealistic expectations which exacerbate all of my mental health issues into oblivion, until I can't even talk or have any coherent thoughts, so I apologise.
Next year, I am going to stock up on food in November, and for the whole month of December until the end of the first week of January, I will be locking myself in my house because I just can't deal with it....It just totally overwhelms my Autism sensitivities WAY too much!

No worries at all!
As an introvert, I sometimes feel the same(overwhelming feeling), but I understand that the same thing is WAY more amplified for you because of Autism.

No problem at all, I understand.I did read about your problem in the other thread and I did not respond immediately because I was/am thinking of a solution for it.
Sorry about your problem and please let me know if you need any help from me, anytime.
