Greetings, From Bhikkhu Bodhi's "A Complete Handbook of Abhidhamma.".. G. 188: The summation of process-freed awareness starts with a of the topography of the phenomenal world, planning the different areas within each plane and the planes of living. (See Dining table 5.1). This survey is undertaken by the author before analyzing the kinds of process-freed consciousness since the outside world, based on the Abhidhamma, is definitely an external representation of the cosmos of mind, enrolling in express form the delicate gradations in states of consciousness. This doesn't imply that the Abhidhamma decreases the external world to a measurement of mind in the way of philosophical idealism. The external world is very true and offers objective existence. The external world is definitely a apprehended by consciousness, and the kind of consciousness determines the character of the world that appears. The earth and consciousness are mutually dependent and inextriably attached to this degree that the hierarchical structure of the areas of existence precisely reproduces and refers to the hierarchical structure of mind. As a result of this communication, all of the two, the gradation of mind and the objective structure of living, gives the key to understanding the other. The reason a being is reborn into a specific realm is basically because he's produced, in a past existence, the kamma or volitional power of mind that results in the revival into that realm, and ergo the ultimate analysis all the areas of activity of living are shaped, designed, and maintained by the intellectual activity of living creatures. At the same time frame these areas supply the period for mind to carry on its development in a brand new character and under a clean group of circumstances What's all of this about? Metta, Vintage.
