Correspondence of the Planes

The following is a diagram illustrating the planes of Nuzul and Uruj (involution and evolution):

Self Plane Descending Planes of Involution
(Nusul)
Ascending Planes of Evolution
(Uruj)
Tanzih --
the Universal Self
1. Zat -- the unmanifested
2. Ahadiyat -- plane of Eternal Consciousness Hahut --plane of consciousness
3. Wahdat -- plane of consciousness, Sound
4. Wahdaniyat -- plane of abstract ideas
Tashbih --
the Individual Self
5. Arwah -- the spiritual plane Lahut -- spiritual plane
6. Ajsam -- the astral plane Jabarut -- astral plane
Malakut -- mental plane
7. Insan -- the physical plane Nasut -- material plane

All planes of existence consist of vibrations, from the finest to the grossest kind; the vibrations of each plane have come from a higher one, and have become grosser. Whoever knows the mystery of vibrations, he indeed knows all things.
