Blue Totem:
There is, according to the mystical tradition of India, a manifested God that includes all realms, physical and subtle, angels, demons, inorganics... all the
forms (even God, for that matter, can take forms)... all the manifested universe(s).
And there is also an unmanifested God.
To that tradition achieving an state of unity with the unmanifested God is the ultimate realization.
Putting in parallel the yogic and nagual tradition there are three attentions and three "worlds":
First Attention - Physical World
Second Attention - Subtle World of Energy / Astral Sphere
Third Attention - "Beyond the Eagle" / Causal Sphere
From the third attention we get, supousedly, glimpses of the Infinity, God, the Universe, etc... a sign that there is yet another state:
The yogic tradition says that state, a fourth state or attention is Cosmic/God Consciousness. In that state we become Infinity without loosing our
individuality. In that state, the yogis say, we become free from the cycle of birth and death.
Most ascetics/meditators of the many traditions of earth work within the causal sphere and generally disregard the subtle world of energy.
Shamans/brujos work mainy within the subtle world of energy but mostly ignore, disregard or can't reach the realities of the third attention.
The best thing we can do in this era of information is to integrate all the knowledge there is and use it to achieve the highest.
