This is a great discussion. I love having a community where we can talk like this.
Circle, I had a college intro to geology class with lots of field trips. I think you might enjoy such a class.
I don't have the quote handy, but I remember Ra referred to first density as the elements that teach and learn from each other. 1D entities are learning the nature of physical existence and change. Eventually they learn enough about these, through life as an impersonal force that is present throughout the world. Then they graduate to second density awareness.
In 2D, physical life is added, in the form of a group soul for a plant or animal species. The difference is that there is a particular self-sustaining focal point for 2D. On earth this means using elements structured as genetic cells with DNA. This higher awareness comes with life's ability to interact with and modify the environment.
As I think about this, I wonder if something like a waterfall would be a high level of 1D existence. At a waterfall the elements would be getting ready to experience life's full abilities to eat, grow, move, reproduce etc.
Suppose that your rock was a piece of granite. I think that your river rock may have been one extension of the fundamental Spirit of Granite. Its nature is to have a lifecycle.
It responds to a collection of various minerals together inside molten earth, uniting them into a combined mass. This is its birth.
These structures then get moved up and down and around, split into fragments, washed down stream, held and tossed by curious humans. This is its life.
Ultimately all of that rock will be disassembled back into the more primal minerals and elements. This is its death.
That individual piece by the river was one cell, one part of the distributed body through which the Spirit of Granite evolves.
Compared to all the other forces that moved around that little cell of granite consciousness, your toss into the water was trivial. But it may have been that rock's first encounter with humanity, with a force able to move itself and decide where rocks should go. It might be a whole new catalyst that surprised the spirit of granite and helped its evolution.
Hawaiians say to not take home pieces of Pele. That would be an advanced 1D spirit that can connect with a particular location, and recognize positive or negative intentions from people.
Just my own speculations. Use whatever you like and skip the rest across a river.
