The Metaphysical Reality: A Primer

There are two planes of existence: The physical and metaphysical. The physical is familiar enough, its the world around us. It has a distinct form and sets of rules that must be followed. The metaphysical is different. An infinite plane of infinite planes that has no form until perceived.

Everyone perceives the metaphysical world differently often based on what the mind and soul can handle and what those who rule their wish you to see. To witness these planes and the beings that reside within them in their true form would rend the mind at best and tear the soul beyond repair at worst.

The metaphysical is composed of layers, each is separate from the others and infinite in size. These layers are called domains and to physical beings appear to be other worlds beyond our own. A domain is a metaphysical plane that serves as the anthropomorphic nexus of an aspect of reality.

Neutral domains

  A neutral domain is a domain that doesn't have a purview. It doesn't represent anything or governs a specific element of existence. Instead, a neutral domain is formed when a function if the universe is sorely needed, such as the shafts of outer heaven, where celestial beings go when they die to be reformed

A fascinating web of planes. Are they able to interact with each other? i.e. can the laws of one plane spill over to another?

Entities from one plane can definitely go to another but in general no these planes are relatively isolated because they are dominated by a particular entity that enforces those rules

The only time this would ever actually occurs when the metaphysical bleeds into the Physical Realm. I realize I may have misunderstood your question so in general anytime you see something that deals with these planes in the physical reality that is the bleeding from that reality is the reason it's there we feel pain because there's a domain of pain.

So it's like the physical realm is the central hub and is the only plane with a connection to any others?

Only just. if you consider multiple universes, its more like two sides of a coin. Physical and metaphysical. The metaphysical planes can effevt the physical and vice versa but its really hard for one meta plane to bleed into another and likewise for other physical universes.
