Planets with life vs. those without

[anagogy]

One thing that puzzles me about this though, is what becomes their purpose for existence? What is it they experience? Is their experience solely in being the children of the Sun?

Also, in terms of spiritual evolution, I know the planets are conscious, but...to what extent. As I understand it, like us, the Earth is going through its own spiritual evolution from 3rd to 4th density. Well, if 3rd density is the point at which self becomes aware of self, was 1st and 2nd density Earth not aware of itself. Are the other planets without Life aware of themselves? Will they remain in a permanent state of 1st density existence? Perhaps not, as the elements work upon each other, they catalyse intelligence and awareness. But, does the planet continue to evolve spiritually, while physically remaining more or less the same? I wish I could speak to Ra sometimes, there are many things I wish to ask him/them.

The life that exists upon the Earth is the manifestation of the Earth's densities of awareness. So, the Earth's awareness of 1st density is the entirety of the 1st density material that composes it, and no it is not self aware. It's second density consciousness is the sum of the 2nd density consciousness upon it, the sum of its 3rd density awareness is the sum of all the 3rd density entities on its surface. The collective consciousness of these groups is the "planetary" consciousness of whatever densities comprise its consciousness.

We are the cells of the Earth's body. We are extensions of the planetary consciousness. You could say the cells are, in concept, different than the whole body, but the separation is not really there.
