Plane Theories

First, let's get some terminalogy straight. English is not a good language to describe the supernatural in, because there are only so many words and not enough of them. So:
Universe: an area in space that holds dimensions that are all connected. There may be more than one Universe, I don't know.
Dimention: a collection of planes. Dimentions link together to form a Universe.
Plane: a subsection of a Dimention.
Do to inadiquacies in the language, that's all the detail I'm going into. So...let's get started.

Dimentions are stacked like molecules in a crystal. I don't know of anyone whose figured out EXACTLY how they are linked together, since the Universe is constantly getting more Dimentions.

Our Dimention is made up of 51 planes, stacked directly on top of one another. They are like books. You start at the bottom book and read upward. How far you have read determines what plane you are on. Humans are on plane 7. One you finnish with all the lessons on one plane, you move up to the next. However, sometimes a being will be on a level lower than what they are capable of, for the sack of doing some job or reviewing what they learned on that lower level. Once you get up in levels, you start getting mystical beings such as Dragons and Fearies. Above them you start getting God forms, above and with Gods are Seraphim, or Angels. On the top level are the Creator Beings, who shape this Demention.

There are gates between planes, and there are gates between Dementions. However, for every gate their are several gaurdians, and to go through those gates you have to get to OK from the gaurdians. Also, the gates are hidden for good reason. So don't get any ideas that you can cheat levels!!
