Today I went down and sat on the banks of the Kansas river for a while, enjoying the sun and a nice breeze, when I started picking small rocks out of the mud and flipping them into the water. After watching a few splash and enjoying the way the waves radiated outwards, I picked up another. My thought process was something like, "I wonder what events brought this rock here to this bank? What events has it seen? Where has it been?" I intended to simply send it on its way downstream, pondering where else its journey might lead. Then I got to thinking, hey, this rock contains some form of awareness. I thought how far ahead of the rock I was, in terms of spiritual evolution, and how far ahead of me others are. The more I thought about it, the more confusing the issue of awareness became.
In first density it seems that most of the elements involved have such wildly varying lengths of life (not quiet sure it could be called incarnation) that I don't see how advancement would be possible in some situations. Take my rock for instance. Presumably it is only a fragment of a much larger piece. I'll leave out the question of minerals vs rocks (which contain multiple kinds of minerals) and the unnecessary complications that entails. When that larger chunk of rock was shattered, was this the end of yet another stage of 1st density evolution, or does a part still live inside the smaller fragment? If so, is there a point when that developing consciousness would choose to leave its rock body, or would it hang around for the many, many long years it would take for the rock to erode/dissolve naturally?
OR, and this is only coming to me as I type and maybe I've misunderstood, has 1st density already moved on, and we're simply seeing the relics of it? In other words, 1st density is over, having progressed into 2nd, 3rd, etc., and that there is no 1st density consciousness on the planet?
