I suspect that the layers of reality correspond to the chakras of the body.
Joseph Campbell in one of his lectures talked about "dieing" to our lower chakras that govern our need for survival, and then "resurrecting" to the heart chakra where we are concerned for others. He felt that the majority of civilization resided in their root chakras. The point of living becomes maintaining a home and success gained through competition.
What happens to the community that rises to the occasion and lives in their Heart?
