I'd like to revive this thread as a similar question formed in my mind recently, while going through the wave.
I'm having difficulty grasping the fact that 1D beings could have a consciousness. Correct me if I'm wrong but at that level, we are refering to minerals.
Its easy for organic life forms, as they are individuals: a tree, an ant, a flower, etc. It's easier to conceive of their perception and individuality.
For minerals though, its more complex as they are not individual entities. Lets take a common rock for example. It can be fractured and then becomes two seperate pieces yet still exists as a rock, but two smaller one. Consciousness divided in two ?
Or lets take iron in a mine. Miners dig and dig, fragment and fracture and extract from a mountain the mineral. The mountain or the rock it contains, has a consciousness ? What happens to the ore being extracted and transformed in goods ?
Anyways, it puzzled me. I guess its good to review lessons of previous densities !
But then I think about what the C's have said about Stonehenge and what the stones were used to back in those days and it puzzles me more that add a consciousness to it.
I don't know that this will help, but what if we think of "consciousness" as a property of the universe rather than a property of a mineral, rock, animal or human? To me, that view helps to explain how empathic "connections" between various supposed animate and inanimate lifeforms can exist and how, ultimately, objectivity is all about "how the universe sees itself".
In the case of the rock broken in two, consciousness is not 'split' except maybe in a gestalt sense. Rather, whatever consciousness overlays each "bit" in the rock's makeup, is still present no matter where individual bits wind up.
These are just my thoughts and this idea of "conscious as property of the universe, not individual 'things'" just represents how it makes sense to me.
So, in terms of my perspective, 'densities' 1 - 3 would correspond to density of information processing capability and this capability translates into nervous system processing capability as a life form becomes more complex. 4th probably would be like this too if a 4th density being represents an aggregate being in some sense.
Hope this doesn't confuse things further. :/
