Buddhist cosmology , other religions and psychedelic beings

[happyhappy]

I hope most of u are familiar with  Buddhist cosmology where they   have an elaborate description on various  31 realms of existence.

from the formless realms described in some sutras ( Arupa bhumi)  to the Narakas . 

also these descriptions draws parallel with certain descriptions in Hinduism, and Abrahamic religions too. the concept of hell;naraka has been of ages in many traditions around the world. for example, seraphims (angels)in Christianity and  other religions , In my analysis fall to the lower or higher heavens in Buddhist context.

many of you surely have encountered many of these beings in psychedelic trips or in deep meditations.; weird alien entities , tulpas , angelic beings etc.

 in to which realms in Buddhist cosmological model would u  categorize them . what are ur experiences?
