I have had some thoughts on the subject, and would like to share them, but I had to make sure there wasn't something colossally wrong with my understanding before I sat down and posted them. It may take me a bit of time to type.
At the risk of sounding ridiculous, here are some of the thoughts I had on the subject:
Since I have music on the brain literally all the time, I often find my thoughts turning to the subject of the octaves in the process of our soul evolution. Recently I was considering this step from 7th density back to 1st density (or however that may go) and comparing it to the step from the 7th degree to the 8th/1st degree in a major scale.
When playing an ascending scale we start on the 1 and play each degree upward until we arrive at the 7 ( 1 ,2 ,3 ,4 ,5 ,6 ,7 ). The note that follows is actually the 8th (and last) degree of the scale, but we don't call it 8. We call it 1 because it is the “same” note as the 1 that we started on. But it isn't actually the same note as the first 1 – it's the same note but an octave higher.
In actual fact, it is both the 8 of the scale we just played AND the 1 of the scale that would follow if we kept playing upward. We just call it the 1 because it shares many harmonic characteristics with the lower 1. It serves the same function and occupies the same position in its own scale as the lower 1 does for its scale.
If we compare the two notes from the point of view of physics, I believe what they share is the same wavelength, hence the similar harmonic properties. But what is different about them is their vibrational frequencies. The 1 from the higher octave has precisely double the vibrational frequency of the 1 from the lower octave. So it is still has the properties of a “1 note”, but with double the energy.
The step from the 7 of the original scale to the 1 of the following scale above it is a natural, smooth progression. But a step from the 7 back down to the 1 that we started on is not. It is an unnatural jump.
So I tried to compare this with the progression of the souls through the densities and it raised a number of interesting questions.
What if the step after 7th density is not a step downward, back to 1st or any other lower density? What if the density that a soul reaches after 7th is 1st density, but of the following octave, like the musical scale? In fact, why would there be any backward steps at all when evolution is considered to be upward movement?
My understanding of things includes the ideas that there are no limits to consciousness and knowledge, and that the universe is infinite and constantly expanding. This implies that there is always something new to learn, experience or create. The possibilities are apparently infinite! How could there be an endpoint?
Does it make sense to do all this evolving to the point of reaching “union with the one” if all we do then is strip ourselves of the knowledge and vibrational frequency we acquired over millions of years, to go back and do it all over again?
It reminds me of the theory to which many humans subscribe that the reason we exist on this planet is to reproduce. Reproduction is what we do to continue our existence. So that would mean that the reason for our existence is simply to exist. That doesn't make a lot of sense. (I think that is about the way Laura put it in High Strangeness.) Using that logic, wouldn't a jump back to 1st density, after learning all the lessons of all the densities, mean that the reason for evolving is simply to evolve? Learning simply for the sake of learning?
Isn't it an important part of the Work to not only acquire knowledge but also to apply it in order to raise our level of being? Isn't that the whole point of our existence? After acquiring such an enormous amount of knowledge upon arrival at 7th, sharing all the experiences of the billions of soul units present in the unified thought form, shouldn't we then be in a position to apply it, and thus raise our level of being even higher?
As a hypothesis, I came up with a rough idea.
Everything I have read so far, about souls living in our six densities, seems to revolve around experiencing this creation from within, being a part of this creation, learning how this universe functions from the point of view of a soul that is allowing the creation to act upon that soul. Let's consider that upon arrival at 7th density the soul now has a full knowledge of the inner workings of the universe, coming from both his own experiences and the shared experiences of all the other souls present. We could say that soul has completed the Octave of Experience. So how could that soul then apply this knowledge?
Perhaps this soul then advances to 1st density of the following octave of seven densities wherein it has the opportunity to acquire the knowledge relating to the process of creating. Maybe the octave following that one, the soul has reached the level of creator and must complete seven densities by creating a new universe and attaining certain specific goals within it. And maybe this process of evolution never stops.
We keep saying that we are, in a sense, little replicas of the creator, don't we? Who's to say that the creator didn't start out at the same place we did, as an individual soul evolving through the densities (of another universe), and is still doing so? How many other soul units might have reached similar levels and are creating other universes “right next door”?
At any rate, I've got enough on my plate learning the lessons of the density I'm on without wasting too much time speculating about things like this. But I think there might be something to it.
