Actually, I have visualized the seven planes as circular and tree-
like. Imagine if you will, a series of seven circular discs, one 
bigger than the next disc. The smallest disc is at the bottom and 
the biggest disc is at the top. The smallest disc would represent 
the Physical Cosmic Plane and the biggest disc would represent the 
Logoic Cosmic Plane. The whole depiction looks like an inverted tree 
or more accurately, an inverted pyramid.

Another depiction: Given cosmology's theories of hyperspace and 
wormholes, there is another possibility (and again, this is just a 
theory) that between the seven circular planes (a.k.a. parallel 
universes) exist hyperspace. What connects one circular plane with 
another is a wormhole or a spatial chakra. And what you have, as a 
result, looks a lot like Jacob's ladder.

FWIW,
