HEAVENLY REGIONS

A symbol of the higher mental or buddhic states of rest and bliss.

“Every evening Oro descended on the rainbow to the valley, and returned by the same pathway on the following morning to the heavenly regions.” — W. ELLIS, *Polynesian Researches*, Vol. I, p. 231.

And at recurring intervals, descents — evening, night, morning — marking periods of embodiment on the lower planes, would be made by the Self or ego; after which the Self would again quit the temporary abode of its incarnation, and return through the higher mind (rainbow bridge) to the devachanic state.
