3. THE SENSE SPHERE PLANE

Richard Jones continues his deep dive into the Abhidhamma with a look at the planes in which the Citta (consciousness) can arise.
There are 31 Realms of Existence and they are subdivided into four: 'Sense-Sphere Plane' (of which there are11 types); 'Fine-material Sphere Plane' (16); Immaterial-Sphere Plane (4 of those).
(Handout: docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/70f2ac...)
We have to make a distinction between a realm of Existence and a sense sphere.
Richard also explains the Mundane, the Supramundane, the Jhanic states (which can be attained by human beings) and beings with immensely long life-spans of thousands of great aeons. However none of these states is permanent.
