	The Devachan is divided into seven clearly distinguishable regions. The four lower regions are collectively referred to as the [[Lower Devachan]]. Here, in ascending order, are found the formed spiritual archetypes of the physical world, the archetypes of the living and the archetypes of the soul. The fourth region of the spirit land, which is also called the [[Akasha]], is the source of the archetypal thoughts. Because we are dealing here with formed archetypes, the Lower Devachan is also called Rupa-Devachan (from {{SaS\|रुपा\|[[Rupa]] "form"). The three lowest regions of the lower devachan correspond to the three outermost planetary spheres, beginning with the Martian sphere; the fourth region, in which the source of the archetypal thoughts lies, already extends beyond the [[planetary system]] {{GZ\|\|141\|178ff}}.
