   THE ANCIENTS SHARED a common understanding of what "soul"   
   or "psyche", the eternally-aware essence of every choice-   
   making sentient being, is. While the classic Greco-Roman   
   mythology, kabbalah, the bible and other sources provide   
   us with an overall-composite view of who and what Psyche   
   is, etc., the prevailing consensus contends that we find   
   the light, even our true nature, by first looking within.   
      
   This humble author takes that view, that divine truth is   
   found first by looking within, to the end that we'll see   
   beyond ourselves with new eyes: into the eternity of God.   
      
   With that concerted refrain in mind...   
      
   Basically, there are ten distinct yet inseparable planes,   
   dimensions or vibrations of Psyche; the Soul of the Gods.   
      
   Think of these planes as awarenesses, ineffable environs   
   of experiences. Think of God's consciousnesses as living,   
   breathing, thriving, infinite universes of divine energy.   
      
   The first nine of Psyche's ten planes are bounded not by   
   separation but rather by bandwidth, by frequency, by law,   
   by rules, by angels, by muses, by emphasis, with respect   
   to her other heavenly planes--including the tenth heaven.   
      
   These nine, bounded planes we recognize as our awareness   
   of their universal qualities-of-consciousness within our   
   own psyche, and the collective psyche of the whole human   
   race; even as the other warm-blooded, higher vertebrates   
   which give live birth, etc., have souls, or make choices.   
      
   Whereas, the tenth plane is unbounded, wholly open-ended.   
   This tenth plane is where the other nine heavens conjoin   
   or focus their respective modes, or dimensions of energy.   
      
   This focus we call the eye of the Sky--our active center   
   of Psychic activity. The ancient Greeks called her 'Iris',   
   centered at the 'Phokos' of the eternally-living 'Zodiac'.   
   But here we're jumping ahead. Let's return to the basics...   
      
   Think of a fully-lit, nine-branched candlestick (menorah,   
   traditionally lit during the Jewish festival of Hanukah).   
   Each flame is equally aglow, but each candle has its own   
   relative place along the golden semicircular candelabrum.   
      
   Now, think of all nine distinct but equal flames burning   
   together as being the tenth flame--as the oneness of all   
   nine concurrently-lit eternal flames of pure white light.   
      
   Each of the nine flames is equal in intensity and purity,   
   because the white flame is one with each plane of energy   
   who combine together as the brilliant "I AM"-ness of God.   
      
   Each candle is distinct yet each is inseparable from the   
   others just as the nine-branched candlestick is one with   
   itself. Nine flames, one focus, one I AM who we call God.   
      
   Each candle, each flame, is directly associated with the   
   planets, which in turn are associated with consciousness.   
   The following illustration is copied from my 'Apocalypse   
   Commentary', Chapter 1, simply approximating the ancient   
   seven-branched menorah. The common nine-branched version   
   adds the outer planets Uranus and Neptune, but otherwise   
   maintains the same principle i.e. seven seven-tone modes;   
   with the two added outer-planet limbs indicated as shown:   
      
       (       )       (       )       (       )       (

   Similarly...   
      
   Think of the white keys on a piano keyboard. Each key is   
   distinctive and unique in tone, sound and vibration; but   
   each key is part of its whole octave--relative among its   
   neighboring keys. Begin playing a scale on any white key,   
   staying on the white keys, and you're playing a diatonic   
   modality. Each mode has a particular key as its tonic or   
   root tone, but all the other neighboring keys are needed   
   to complete its distinctive seven-tone scale. Eight-tone   
   scales repeat the root-key one octave above or below its   
   tonic note; just as any key played above or below repeat   
   notes played within the seven-tone scale on their octave.   
      
   The following, three tables are copied from my 'Compleat   
   Tarot Manual' Chapter 9, summarizing the scalar relation-   
   ships between the keys--the flames--of Psychic awareness:
