An image of the “Self”

Newcomer Corner
1

First post.

When it was recommended me from a very new friend, that I read the RA materials, the synchronicity between the power of that conversation which preceded his recommendation, and the power within the material was uncanny. His recommendation came after a deep discussion about “the self,” and an image I use to assist in my understanding of it.

I am not going to lie, it was difficult at first for me to accept that messages channeled from ETs could have any value outside of entertainment, however based on the intense synchronicity of our conversations depth, and the material’s topics, I could not easily reject the manuscript as “for entertainment only.” Once I dove in to the 5 books, I could not put them down, and quickly found the depth of understanding I had been searching for.

The first, and most profound, thing I realized was that the image I had been given in contemplation was serving as a means of easily grasping the different densities of the self that exist in the being I am. It was as though I had been “set-up” with this image for the moment I found the RA Materials, so that I would not be confused at all, but feel as if I “already knew” what they were talking about. It had an impact that felt like finally finding an answer to why I had all this knowledge.

The image below is what I am referring to, and is the image I use when contemplating the “self” that makes up me. It came to me well before finding the material, so the vocabulary may be flawed, from the perspective of those well versed in RA’s teachings, however I would like to share it anyway, that others like myself, who use visual imagery to learn may have the same “leg-up” I felt I got from it.

I leave it here, without any explanation, so as to not impose my understanding of it upon your free-will, (that seems VERY important here) but offer discussion to anyone who would like to speak about it.

Through Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding of Love, Peace and Acceptance, this gift was given me, and I have faith it will find those who need it.

With love and respect for all who seek, I thank you for your service.

Welcome here Jim_Cox

Thank you for sharing this image.
Something feeling the flame of seeking and finding ?

Isn’t it uncanny how when first starting t o read Ra, it feels like an intense personal answer to each of us ? Perhaps because indeed we are One already…

Anyway welcome :pink_heart::herb:

Agreed. It definitely feels more like remembering those personal answers than it does discovering something anew.

Yes, welcome to this spot in cyber space-time, @Jim_Cox. I hope you find it worthwhile in some way.

Your diagram does not indicate interaction between the three levels of self. Are they separated, pretty much, or are the boundaries porous? What might they communicate, I wonder?

@Mirror I appreciate your question.
I view each level, or density, of the self to be interacting with each other through the thread of connection from top to bottom. I feel there is a version of the self that I am on each level, and those “other selves” allow for my perception/perspective of interaction with the density they exist on. The left side of the white line represents the physical perspective or “what we perceive” and the right represents the “mechanism” by which we perceive it.
So when I am experiencing/evaluating my self or a situation, I am doing so from 3rd density, but I am using all that each density contains in my experience/evaluation— 2nd density separateness, 4th density awareness, 5th density identity, 6th density creativity— all activated and connected through the thread of consciousness of the One self.
The lower three levels create the physical self, the middle three, the metaphysical self, and the upper, the highest self, all interacting and communicating in every moment to make up the illusion that is the “individual.”

I see. So, at this very moment, as you are reading this reply for the first time, how much of your 2D, 3D, 4D, 5D, 6D portions are actually engaged?

If you were to be the police pulling you over at this very moment to inspect your awareness, what would you find?

Are you up front with an open heart? Are you protected by a buffer of some sort? Something else?

Just curious.

I would say, my 2D self is perceiving the information, my 3D self is evaluating the words, my 4D self is extrapolating intention based off my perceptions of the words I am reading, my 5D self is running those factors through my personal “identity” and finding the wisest way to understand them as I do, my 6D self is creating my potential response, my 7D self is allowing the moment to be perceived and worked upon by all levels of my self. All are connected through the One, at the octave level.
As to your example of being pulled over, the officer would only be able to examine their own awareness of what they perceive as MY awareness, through all levels of their own self.
I believe the concept of an open heart or buffer, as you state them, would rely up to the previous experiences of the self within this incarnation. Example: if I have had negative interactions with officers in my past, I may have a buffer up, however if I have had pleasant experiences with an officer prior to this moment, I could expect to have a much more open heart to the experience at hand.

Hope this helps. I appreciate the opportunity to clarify.

Yes, this lays it out better. Receiving input, evaluating it, understanding, considering ways of responding, these seem to me to be functions of the human animal-level, surface oriented mental apparatus. What about the beneath-the-surface aspects of the operation? Are there any?

So interesting Jim, I just wanted to understand, when you say

"2 Density separateness’, I
guess you mean separateness from 1st Density, right ? it is just that I feel that 2D entities are in fact very telepathic within each others so in a way, we in 3 rd Density are way more separate than the 2 nd Density entities are within themselves, lol…

I choose to understand the concepts of the “surface” and the “depth” of self in terms of “physical” and “metaphysical” experience, each level of self having both.
How I differentiate between the two, in terms of the diagram, is left is “surface” or physical, and right is “depth” or “metaphysical.”
I feel that when we experience a moment in the physical 3rd Density, we are simultaneously experiencing it on all levels of the self. Our 2D “physical” self perceives separateness in objects and thoughts, while the 2D “metaphysical” self takes measure of them. 3D physical experiences energy, while 3D metaphysical evaluates information, 4D physical finds our desires, while 4D metaphysical constitutes the depth of the desires within the situation, 5D physical identifies the physical and metaphysical “objects” in the moment while the 5D metaphysical offers choice based on those identifications, the 6D physical creates the “most valued” personal response to the stimulus while 6D metaphysical offers that response the potential of interaction and impact. All are able to work together through the consciousness that comes from the 7D self which is both physical and metaphysical simultaneously, and is connected directly to “Infinite intelligence” or “One Infinite Creator.” All are invigorated and working together to create what we know to be “livable moments.”
I do not necessarily think there is any true separation between the parts, or the whole, but in this 3D illusion we are forced to recognize separation as part of the forgetting process, and thus, this is the best explanation I could be afforded— one that identifies separateness, but combines them into a whole self-construct.

I see what you meant in terms of ‘separateness’. Jim, non need to answer may little silly post..

As I understand it, 2D entities are more of a body/spirit complex, without the mind complex. This is the separation I alluded to— from the perspective of our 3D, they would be without what I call “the ‘I’ factor” of experience that comes from the mind. IE: dogs would not think “I am hungry,” instead their body understands the sensation of hunger, and the spirit moves it to eat. They do not see themselves as “I” and “they” but as separate parts of a whole as they perceive it from their density.

I see no silliness at all, @flofrog. I believe the best way to balance love and wisdom is the exchange of conversations such as these. If I can shed any sort of light on a topic which you may find darkened, I am happy and excited to do so!
Thank you for your interaction here on my first day. It has been welcoming and fun. :raising_hands:t2:

interesting

I am extremely interested by 2 Density.
I really do wonder if they think only in terms of ‘We’. and yet it is what comes out often of descriptions by Ra, so exactly per your description.

I still wonder. There are extraordinary uncanny powers in our brothers and sisters from 2 nd density..

I view everything from animals and plants, to pots and pans to have 2D awareness. Lol. As Ram Das said, “there is no music stand maker, and yet a music stand is made.” I believe all 2D entities have desire within them to interact, just like the music stand desires to be made, and the maker answers the call. In order to interact, separation must be perceived, otherwise there would be nothing “else” to interact with.
I believe separation is the biggest catalyst for seeking a choice, since it offers the opportunity to see the One as outside of the self, and thus, demands movement toward another, seemingly separate moment, but without ego or wisdom. This is how I understand 2D separateness, which I feel is a foundational aspect of our 3D selves.

Forgive me for this post Jim , but an interesting interaction of 2nd Density entity

:joy: The epitome of fearing the fun that appears separate from us.
