Well, yes, it can be helpful for our development to try to grasp concepts that are out of our reach, including higher densities. However, as long as we don't over do it. We have limited time and energy to Work on ourselves and complete learning the lessons on THIS density. Remember the C's also told Laura that you don't have to "get it" to move to 4th Density. You just have to learn ALL the lessons of 3rd Density. The analogy they gave was "where do you go when you finish 3rd grade? Do you already have to be in 4th grade to be allowed to go there?" (paraphrased). So our primary focus still needs to be to learn all our lessons here on this level.
yes, i could not agree more.
regarding;
Having said that, just a little more speculation on the 5th Density STS issue. I'm just elaborating what I speculated before. The soul that chooses to remain STS and no longer needs to reincarnate into the lower 4 Densities, but instead remains in 5th Density, seems to have reached such a level of contraction into itself, such a level of withdrawal, that I think it probably only has influence on lower level STS by the "gravitational" quality on the level of thought and no direct interaction, perhaps?
i thought that 5th density is a place of temporary contemplation before recycling back into one of the lower densities, and that was the only function of it. i had never thought about it as being a density that one would necessarily 'remain' in without going back for lessons on lower ones.
so i did a quick search,
this excerpt is from the cassiopaea glossary;
5th Density
This term is used by the Cassiopaeans to denote a non-physical state of being where entities that incarnate in 1st thru 4th densities exist between incarnations. This is also called a recycling zone.
Ra describes this as the first non-physical density or the density of wisdom, the first where thought can create reality without being bounded by material restrictions.
In reading Cassiopaea transcripts, it seems that we need to distinguish between occupying 5th density as a between lives stage from being a 5th density soul. The latter would mean one which had graduated from 4th density and no longer would incarnate there.
according to this, it seems that, yes, there are beings that theoretically inhabit 5th and do not recycle back. interesting.
i had always had this primarily in mind regarding 5th;
Q: (T) The 4th level is the last for full STS. Does that mean that the 5th level, which you have described as the "contemmplative" level... what is the state of existence of a STS being on the 5th level?
A: Souls of 1,2,3, and 4 go to 5th.
Q: (T) So 5th level is where they go to while waiting to go back to one of the 4 for their next incarnation?
A: Exactly.
Q: (T) That is why it's called the contemplation level. You go and think about what you have done. (T) What about souls on 6th density? (L) Are there 6th density STS beings?
A: No, when you get to 6th you no longer need to recycle.
which suggested, to me at least, that fifth is not inhabited as such, but is used only for reflection between recycling back to lower densities.
and i had thought that once all lessons of 1-4th have been learned, then one moves to sixth.
what's your take on this ?
---
Also, I again reiterate the point that all this happens in a non-linear way -- all simultaneously -- as linear time is our illusion and does not exist objectively. Whereas 4th Density has the capability to move back and forth in "time," 5th Density and above is supposed to be totally "timeless" with 7th Density being timeless in the fullest sense, right? So this issue of 4th Density STS being the last full manifestation of STS, and whether those who choose to remain STS will then recycle to primal matter, again it all happens simultaneously, all "at the same moment" so to say -- moving up all the way to Union with the One and down to 1st Density where STS will be attracted to the physicality and the "sleeping state of consciousness" as its inherent nature?
regarding the first portion of your quote which i've bolded;
i love non-linearity, as it has proven itself to be, in various fields of scientific query, a much more reliable model of how things actually work.
i'll even go so far as to say i currently hold notions of linear time to be childish and rubbish.

so.. with this in mind,
the-moment could be said to be pulsating 'outwards' in space-time and creating or linking with nodes of 'past'-moments and 'future'-moments continually.
as to the second bolded segment;
yes. the c's have said that STS ends in a black hole. so it seems that they attempt to ADD to themselves, aggrandize themselves and are so self-centric in general, that all their amassing of false-selfhood creates a type of 'gravity' so to speak which ends up collapsing on itself.
quite similar, in fact, to the way black holes are theorized to be created.
