This question is gonna get crazy but crazy is good- out of the box.
When we think are we actually focusing on a whole separate environment where knowledge lies AND just another place that inhabits the here and now?
Let's say I died and went to a place where like minds gathered.
The people in each place lived in a state where they only were doing the things they wanted to do and nothing else existed to them, they didn't even see any other possibilities. Woul theyre perception "eliminate the middle man" and they constantly did what made them feel comfortable and did things they felt they were only capable to do.
Could it be possible that these places exist and we are existing in both of these places right now. I'm sure there could be more than two but is it credible to say we do exist in our concepts and share that reality with like minds?
Please no jesus answers, I like the guy but this goes beyond just being saved.

Knowledge itself is unchanging; it is the mind that does not know that seeks knowledge. In that seeking, the mind forms concepts, but the concepts do nothing to alter knowledge.
Not seeing other possibilities is what keeps us focused in this physicality. Your associates there, the like-minded, could not eliminate anything by their perception; they are only ignoring what exists in favor of what they choose to see. Perception is a wish fulfilled.
Mind is so creative, and time as we know it non-existent, that yes, existence "exists" simultaneously.
Focus does not preclude reality any more than when you are engrossed in a book, the room around you would cease to be. It is still there, (in our terms), you just are not focused on it.

I believe anything that one can think can be real.
I want to add that I've noticed many speak of reality as a concrete entity, but I recall a true story about the islanders who could not see the European vessels sitting in the water because they'd never before seen such vessels. A wiseman stared at the water for days, as he'd noticed the waves moving differently from usual.
Then he described the vessels to his tribe, at which point, they too could then see what was before unseeable. So, how real is real? Or is real just a matter of perception? Perhaps, because so many of us share concepts of reality, we could call this concensus reality, and aberrations from this 'personal realtiy.' I think what I mean is, perhaps there are not different dimensions - maybe there's only one dimension, but we each see what we are ABLE to see./

Tis referred to as the mental plane. Minds meet here. It's a plane of existence subject to the raincloud of knowable things spoken of by Patanjali. It sounds to me like you'd gain a lot of things to ponder over in the Alice A Bailey books. I'll put the link below and best of luck to you! I put the index/search engine link. Stick a word in and see what shows up and if you like the sounds of the teachings.

Belief (and perception) are the filters through which we experience reality. We conflict with those whose perception of reality diverges from our own significantly and we are drawn to those whose perception of reality closely matches our own.
Is that what you were getting at?

Corey you're just too weird.
Even Jesus can't help you with this.
It's not credible.
We don't exist in concepts.
There is only one reality.
The other is your imagination.
Learn to tell the difference.
