A Collective Dimension, also known as a Spiritual Collective is the third largest operational division of One Heaven. A Spiritual Collective may be affiliated or unaffiliated and an independently recognized body:

(i) An affiliated Collective Dimension (Spiritual Collective) is an ecclesiastically, legally and lawfully constituted subdivision of a Regional Collective of more than one hundred thousand (100,000) Divine Persons, corresponding to the past, present and future generations of higher order spirits of a traditional country or supranational affiliation but smaller than a traditional global, empire, religion or international affiliation; and

(ii) An unaffiliated and independent Spiritual Collective is an ecclesiastically, legally and lawfully constituted body corresponding to an association of Local Collectives of more than one hundred thousand (100,000) Divine Persons but less than two hundred million (200,000,000) Divine Persons that is not formally aligned to any Regional Collective.

While an unaffiliated and independent Collective Dimension (Spiritual Collective) may have no formal association or alignment to any Regional Collective, all Spiritual Collective are recognized as within the existence, dimension and jurisdiction of One Heaven in accord with the present Covenant.

(i) Any and all traditional land owners and indigenous tribal associations who have reclaimed the origins of their ancestors and have rejected the threats, demands and invasion of foreign and non traditional belief systems; and

(ii) Any association of spirits of higher order beings that chooses to function as a sovereign independent group within One Heaven, subject to its own rules and constructs.

Unless a Spiritual Collective is implied or stated as part of a recognized historic Regional Collective, the following criteria are the essential structural components and properties of a valid Spiritual Collective:
