I once read channeling materials that clearly stated the presence of the two groups in the 3rd density beyond the ordinary people living on the surface of this planet. In that materials, one group is more closely connected to Orion (STS) and the second group to Federation (STO). This Orion group relates to Ra’s description of the Orion STS, while the Federation aligns with Ra’s (and others’) Confederation.
It was mentioned that the 3D STS group associated with Orion were identified as the Illuminati, most of whom were human. What distinguished them was their higher level of knowledge compared to the average person and their close collaboration with those from higher densities of STS.
Conversely, an organization paralleling them on the STO side was identified. This organization was referred to as the Status of Quorum, comprising mostly 3rd density aliens and a small number of humans. They were in contact with what we here on the forum would call the Confederation.
It is unclear whether these names refer to literal organizations or if they are metaphors. If they are metaphors, the Illuminati would correspond to the pursuit of knowledge, fitting Ra’s description of STS as a quest for knowledge that forsakes love.
The Status of Quorum, interestingly, includes “Quo” in its name. Additionally, the Latin phrase “status quo” means the preservation of a given state of affairs. This can be interpreted as maintaining certain rules for existence on Earth, keeping the system stable, minimizing interference and violation of free will by STS, and upholding an appropriate level of order that allows for the development of those who choose STO.
The materials further stated that these two organizations are completely secretive to our society. The Illuminati are expected to be incorporated into 4D STS at some point and leave with them. The Status of Quorum is to gradually release and support the dissemination of knowledge relevant to the future of our species, specifically concerning the transition to 4th density positive.
In general, I prefer not to provide the source of these channelings, as they were made public over 25 years ago, and the group in question has since changed significantly. There was a split within the group, and those who remained, supposedly still channeling the same entity, gradually began to live according to STS principles, forming a group operating based on sect psychology. I see this as that the part of the group became corrupted and was taken over by STS, and in practice some kind of cult is what remains of it, so I won’t even mention them by name.
I would like to make an edit: I described two significant groups, STS and STO, “Illuminati” and “Status of Quorum”, which may be located both underground and on the surface. On the other hand, you, @LMichel , clearly indicate a larger society living underground.
I have read many times that there is simply another civilization underground, where many of them have not even seen our surface society. However, from what I know, they are much more advenced in STS that what we usually see on the surface of our planet. Unlike our society, where different groups mix with each other, their society is strictly oriented towards STS and is strictly controlled by 4D STS entities.
This is a completely different kind of experience from what we know. Those living underground do not experience wars because there is no permission for any clashes among them. They are a united society working for STS under the supervision from higher STS beings. They are aware enough not to cause trouble for each other and do not engage in wars.
While their relationship with surface earthlings like us, the situation is quite mixed. There is a large group (although relatively small in terms of the total society) of people moving towards STO - those underground see no such thing. Also on the surface of the planet in our society there is a very small number of conscious STS people who serve as conduits through which they influence our society on the surface. Additionally, there is a very large number of people who are neutral in terms of polarity.
According to this underground society, these neutral individuals from our surface society are neither destined to evolving towards 4D STS nor towards 4D STO. They are expected to stay in the 3rd density, preferably repeating it indefinitely, to serve as either 3rd density puppets or as physical, energetic, and spiritual “food.” Of the surface humans only the chosen ones are to evolve to 4D STS. And possibly those who are moving towards 4D STO, if they fail to prevent it. The rest of the 3rd density on the surface are not to be aware of the existence and development towards higher densities, they are to suffer and stay at 3rd level.
I do not refer to any specific source, I share what is generally known to me, from what I have read so far about the secrets of our planet and other underground civilizations.
