Trailokya (Sanskrit: त्रैलोक्य; Pali: tiloka, Wylie: khams gsum) has been translated as 'three worlds,'^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] 'three spheres,'^[3] 'three planes of existence,'^[6] 'three realms'^[6] and 'three regions.'^[4] These three worlds are identified in Hinduism^{[citation needed]} and appear in early Buddhist texts.

Sauron (or Þauron (Thauron); Quenya; IPA: ˈsaʊron or Vanyarin; IPA: ˈθaʊron - 'The Abhorred'), the eponymous Lord of the Rings, was a fallen Maia, creator of the One Ring, and the greatest lieutenant of Melkor (Morgoth, the first Dark Lord). After Melkor's defeat by the Valar, Sauron in time became the second Dark Lord and strove to conquer Arda by creating the Rings of Power. The Sugar Plum Fairy, or also better known as Sugarplum, is the main antagonist of the 2018 Disney film The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. She is the manipulative and arrogant ruler of the Land of Sweets who plotted to take over all Four Realms with a massive army of Tin Soldiers at her.

In Buddhist cosmology[edit]

In Buddhism, the three worlds refer to the following destinations for karmic rebirth:

Kāmaloka the world of desire, typified by base desires, populated by hell beings, preta, animals, ghosts, humans and lower demi-gods.
Rūpaloka is the world of form, predominately free of baser desires, populated by dhyāna-dwelling gods, possible rebirth destination for those well practiced in dhyāna.
Arūpaloka is the world of formlessness, a noncorporeal realm populated with four heavens, possible rebirth destination for practitioners of the four formlessness stages.^[3]

Theosophical views[edit]

According to Helena Blavatsky's posthumously published Theosophical Glossary (1892):

Kamaloka (or kamadhatu) is the world of Mara. Kamaloka has, like every other world, its seven divisions, the lowest of which begins on earth or invisibly in its atmosphere; the six others ascend gradually, the highest being the abode of those who have died owing to accident, or suicide in a fit of temporary insanity, or were otherwise victims of external forces. It is a place where all those who have died before the end of the term allotted to them, and whose higher principles do not, therefore, go at once into Devachanic state—sleep a dreamless sweet sleep of oblivion, at the termination of which they are either reborn immediately, or pass gradually into the Devachanic state.^{[citation needed]}
Rupaloka (or rupadhatu) is the celestial world of 'form' (rupa), or what we call 'Devachan.' With the uninitiated Brahmans, Chinese and other Buddhists, the Rupadhatu is divided into eighteen Brahma or Devalokas; the life of a soul therein lasts from half a Yuga up to 16,000 Yugas or Kalpas, and the height of the 'Shades' is from half a Yojana up to 16,000 Yojanas (where a Yojana measures from five and a half to ten miles). Esoteric Philosophy teaches that though for the Egos for the time being, everything or everyone preserves its form (as in a dream), yet as Rupadhatu is a purely matter world, and a state, the Egos themselves have no form outside their own consciousness. Esotericism divides this world into seven Dhyanas, 'regions', or states of contemplation, which are not localities but mental representations of these.
Arupaloka (or arupadhatu) is a world that is again divided into seven Dhyanas, still more abstract and formless, for this 'World' is without any form or desire whatever. It is the highest world of the post-mortem Trailokya; and as it is the abode of those who are almost ready for Nirvana, and is, in fact, the very threshold of the Nirvanic state, it stands to reason that in Anupadhatu (or Arupavachara) there can be neither form nor sensation, nor any feeling connected with our three-dimensional Universe.^[4]
