66 Upper Earth/Upper World

The heavens are the traditional upper worlds
of most traditions. These range from the actual Sky to higher planes of
existence extending into the heart of God.
Dean Edwards (deane@netcom.com)

The dimension/sphere of existence where entities that appear to us
as more humanoid or angelic, or simply energetic appear.
Ann Albers (albersa@aztec.asu.edu)

"Upper World" is a term used by Harner and associates to refer to the
part of non-ordinary reality that one reaches by journeying upward
(perhaps by climbing a tree). Usually teachers and wisdom about
emotional/spiritual/philosophical aspects of existence are found in
the upper world.
