I'll tackle most of these. The first couple are nearly impossible to answer because of how difficult it is describing higher-dimensional metaphysics in text. (But if someone else wants to try, go for it!)
2D - Self-awareness
3D - Love (of Self or of Others) and Self-actualization
4D - Patience, refinement of Love, beginnings of Wisdom
5D - Refinement of Wisdom, transitioning to S-M-C existence
6D - Abandonment of Polarity and embracing Unity / Oneness
Very likely, but not explicitly confirmed. According to Ra, there are entities called "Light Bringers" which exist "beyond the Octave" and who act as teachers/guides to 6Ds as well as regulating large-scale activities like Harvests. However, that's literally all he said on the subject. Anything beyond 7D is largely a mystery to him as well as to us.
6th Density. It's impossible to embrace Oneness on a purely Negative path, so a changeover to Positive must happen at some point. However, 7D graduation requires abandoning polarity either way, so it's kind of a moot point.
There really aren't too many hard guidelines here. Both STO and STS can manifest in a lot of different ways. Also, it's about an energetic state as much as anything - positive entities are radiant; negatives are absorptive. However, broadly speaking, being STS does generally require drawing strength\power\energy from others while having little or no regard for their own well-being and, especially, for their free will.
Yes, and this gets at the distorted false dichotomy between STS and STO. You perceive correctly that both paths ultimately do embrace both aspects, they just have different focuses. This is part of the reason polarity is abandoned in 6D - the entity realizes the two paths are ultimately the same path. The main difference is one of perception. STO recognizes this back-and-forth mutual growth and embraces it, whereas STS is entirely focused on self-benefits and doesn't care about (or is even upset by) others benefiting as well.
Free Will does not mean unrestricted free will, it simply means the ability to choose between options which are available based on current circumstances. At least below 7D, one's available choices are ALWAYS in part determined by the actions of others, as well as karmic repercussions of their own earlier choices. It's like the classic Jack Benny joke: Even if someone has a gun to your head demanding "Your money or your life," you're still free to think it over.
As an entity grows in self-empowerment and Wisdom, their ability to influence/dictate the starting conditions of their incarnations grows as well. While it seems very unlikely one would deliberately choose to do this, a positive entity COULD probably choose a set of conditions in their early life -like say, extreme poverty, terrible parents, sexual abuse, etc- which would make it highly likely that their incarnation would result in a negative orientation as they grow up. So their "soul" would be positive initially, but could then potentially flip negative during the course of the incarnation.
(Ra mentions this happening unintentionally at least once with a pair of 4D wanderers.)
That would be 100% your decision to make, based on your own call to service and the wisdom you could deploy in planning and spreading your message. Ra put no restrictions on how his teachings could be used, and it would have been impossible for him to even try. However, you would still be responsible karmically for the results of this effort, good or bad, which could have significant long-term effects on your own development.
...
And now, brace yourself for a bunch of replies saying totally different things and disagreeing with what I said.
Quote:3. What are the specific goals/lessons to be learned of each individual density?
2D - Self-awareness
3D - Love (of Self or of Others) and Self-actualization
4D - Patience, refinement of Love, beginnings of Wisdom
5D - Refinement of Wisdom, transitioning to S-M-C existence
6D - Abandonment of Polarity and embracing Unity / Oneness
Quote:4. Ra mentions that there are 1-8 densities and that these make up an "octave" of densities. Does this mean there are higher "octaves" of densities with even further spiritual growth?
Very likely, but not explicitly confirmed. According to Ra, there are entities called "Light Bringers" which exist "beyond the Octave" and who act as teachers/guides to 6Ds as well as regulating large-scale activities like Harvests. However, that's literally all he said on the subject. Anything beyond 7D is largely a mystery to him as well as to us.
Quote:5. At what density is it impossible to proceed as a service-to-self entity? Or is it possible to fully proceed down the path towards intelligent infinity as either service-to-self or service-to-others?
6th Density. It's impossible to embrace Oneness on a purely Negative path, so a changeover to Positive must happen at some point. However, 7D graduation requires abandoning polarity either way, so it's kind of a moot point.
Quote:6. Does service-to-self require intentionally harming other people to please yourself, or does it just require not helping other people?
There really aren't too many hard guidelines here. Both STO and STS can manifest in a lot of different ways. Also, it's about an energetic state as much as anything - positive entities are radiant; negatives are absorptive. However, broadly speaking, being STS does generally require drawing strength\power\energy from others while having little or no regard for their own well-being and, especially, for their free will.
Quote:7. Is the Orion group intentionally attempting to help us in our spiritual evolution (through reinforcing/encouraging negative polarization) or are they only attempting to help themselves? Whereas the Confederation is intentionally trying to help us, which ultimately helps their spiritual evolution also, correct?
Yes, and this gets at the distorted false dichotomy between STS and STO. You perceive correctly that both paths ultimately do embrace both aspects, they just have different focuses. This is part of the reason polarity is abandoned in 6D - the entity realizes the two paths are ultimately the same path. The main difference is one of perception. STO recognizes this back-and-forth mutual growth and embraces it, whereas STS is entirely focused on self-benefits and doesn't care about (or is even upset by) others benefiting as well.
Quote:8. Does scientific determinism conflict with the Free Will found within the Law of One? Or is it that our souls/entities truly do have free will in higher densities/between incarnations but our human bodies/catalysts truly don't have free will? So it's just an illusion of free will during our human incarnations?
Free Will does not mean unrestricted free will, it simply means the ability to choose between options which are available based on current circumstances. At least below 7D, one's available choices are ALWAYS in part determined by the actions of others, as well as karmic repercussions of their own earlier choices. It's like the classic Jack Benny joke: Even if someone has a gun to your head demanding "Your money or your life," you're still free to think it over.
Quote:9. Is the "soul" incarnated in a person reflected in the person's personality? Or, I mean, could a soul be incarnated into an extremely positively oriented human and then in the next incarnation be incarnated into an extremelt negatively oriented human? Or, is it the souls that are oriented as such and not the individual human personalities?
As an entity grows in self-empowerment and Wisdom, their ability to influence/dictate the starting conditions of their incarnations grows as well. While it seems very unlikely one would deliberately choose to do this, a positive entity COULD probably choose a set of conditions in their early life -like say, extreme poverty, terrible parents, sexual abuse, etc- which would make it highly likely that their incarnation would result in a negative orientation as they grow up. So their "soul" would be positive initially, but could then potentially flip negative during the course of the incarnation.

Quote:10. Let's say I became a celebrity and had a platform to "preach" or encourage millions of people to read the Law of One, and/or tried to convince people of its validity through logic...
That would be 100% your decision to make, based on your own call to service and the wisdom you could deploy in planning and spreading your message. Ra put no restrictions on how his teachings could be used, and it would have been impossible for him to even try. However, you would still be responsible karmically for the results of this effort, good or bad, which could have significant long-term effects on your own development.
