The World Tree and the Realms?!

[Nick1]

I was reading "The Outer Temple of Witchcraft" by Christopher Penczak and in this book he talks about the world tree... the world tree is the connection between the higher self... the physical... and the lower self

And in other sections he is using the world tree thing to travel to other realms... like realm of fire... realm of air... where he communicates with elementals... and the elementals control and regulate the energy

Ok, i know that the author of the book believes in something different the we believe but still... i'm guessing that his kind of magic works in the same way that our magic works (i use the word magic very loosely)... and since we live in the same universe there has to be some connection!

I've invoked the elements and there where no realms or elementals regulating the energy involved... you just invoke the energy... also i've never read anything about realms in the JOS site

WTF is this guy saying?!?!?!?!?

So to my questions...
1) what is this world tree... what is he talking about?
2) what are the realms... do we have anything similar?
3) do the elementals regulate the sources of energy?

finally
4) are these tricks of the mind that this guy developed in order to reach these things from the outside... and we (spiritual satanists) have other ways --more direct-- to reach?

I mean... about earth energy... he does a really long ritual (about half an hour) in order to get permission to get the earth energy... and what i do... is just ask for the energy thanking with respect the earth for providing... boom... 5 seconds... no ritual!

so... what do you think?
Sorry for the long post
