COMMENTARY: "TALAS" ARE THE MATERIAL OR OBJECTIVE OR (IN INTEGRAL THEORY TERMS) "EXTERIOR" ASPECTS OF A WORLD/Universe, or sub plane conforming a particular Gross Physical SUB-REALM OR "LOKA". ALL CONTINGENT REALITIES (whether physical or subtle) HAVE INEXTRICABLE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR ASPECTS IN THE SINGULAR AND PLURAL MANIFESTATIONS.
"LOKAS" NORMALLY REFER TO WORLDS ....OR RATHER, UNIVERSES of different densities WITHIN a physical or non-physical REALM, BUT THAT WORD CAN ALSO BE USED TO REPRESENT THE COMPLEMENTARY "INTERIOR" O "SUBJECTIVE" ASPECTS OF THAT PARTICULAR UNIVERSE or SUB-REALM.
NON "EXCARNATE" EXTRATERRESTRIALS ARE PHYSICALLY EMBODIED AND NATURALLY LOCATED IN A SPECIFIC "RUPA" LOKA, A WORLD WHOSE "TALA" IS MADE OF PHYSICAL OBJECTIVE MATTER AND PARTICLES. IT COULD ALSO BE OUR OWN PHYSICAL SUB-REALM OR KNOWN PHYSICAL UNIVERSE.
HOWEVER, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WORLDS OF DIFFERENT PHYSICAL DENSITIES IN THE "RUPA LOKA" CATEGORY, SOME GETTING CLOSER OR FARTHER FROM BEING LIKE WORLDS IN THE SUBTLE REALM OR "ARUPA LOKAS."
An interaction and interpenetration and mutual immanence between THREE MAIN PRINCIPLES also OCCURS. The Subtle Realm would be in a RAJASIC (active) state with respect to the Gross Physical worlds of the Rupa Loka.The etheric template is in an intermediate quiescent but potential state (in a SATTVIC state) containing all the potentials and information for every physical level or Universe in the RUPA LOKA. How the ETHERIC relates to a specific physical world would be what we conceive as a quantum potential aspect and (complementing it) as specific quantum probabilities, including retrocausal information and influences.
The non-physical Arupa Lokas would contain and trascend the physical causal and retrocausal information and influences, cancelling them out and exopressing its "TALAS" or objective exterior materiality as an IMAGE. A different kind of understanding of what is "material" operates here. In the non-physical, ARUPA LOKA SUBTLE REALM "Time" and "Space" adapt to subjective experience as much as influence it in equal measure.
The Rupa Lokas would be defined by Tamasic (inertial) states and limit the causal effectiveness of subjective experience to various degrees according to physical density. Exerting consciousness-based information control on the etheric patterns would assist advanced extraterrestrials to materialize or dematerialize into and out of our particular physical universe, density and timeline located in the RUPA LOKA.
