Life is fascinating as it can take many forms. There is the life of flesh and blood. It is one of the varieties of life of form.
Basically there are two categories of life, the form and the formless.
You may say that form can be of flesh and blood that we know and the other is that of astral form.
The astral world comprises, the spirits of lower realms including hell realms and that of higher realms including the gods and deities.
More refined the being, the higher the realms and higher than that we have the formless realms where only the mind exist and there is no form.
When there is more refinement, even the mind seems to be non-existent and such high beings exist only as one aspect of the mind and then when mind is no more, the being exist as energy.
The Pure Ones may actually exist as collections of energy but their avartars or expressed presence may take astral forms or even occasionally as physical form.
Lao Tse is one example of the physical manifestation of the First Pure One. Taoism is attributed to him but not all will agree.
God Almighty, the Jade Emperor is the creation or manifestation of the First Pure One.
The Jade Emperor is the creator of the apparent universe of form realms with heaven and all the other realms below heaven.
The formless realms overseen by the Pure Ones and the Buddhas are in the universe outside and beyond the apparent or form universe.
Buddhas are the clergy and others are the laity, just like priests are the clergy and men are the laity in the human world.
How we cultivate ourselves determine the life state we will be in the next life, be it form or formless.
Those who are spiritual and dwell into meditation and mindfulness cultivation will go to astral and formless realms and those who do not and are just as you may say do-gooders will be born in afterlife in life of form be it human or in the heavenly form realms
