Consciousness

[tadeus]

Each of the seven densities represents a step in evolution and has an overarching theme or set of lessons to be learned.

Elemental matter being 1st density is learning the lessons of red ray, which is the development of awareness and life.

Second Density is the lesson of orange ray which is learning to become self aware as an individual part of the creator.

Third density is the yellow ray refinement of self awareness and the making of the choice, embroiled in interactions with other selves.

Technically to have self awareness and be of the nature of evolving thru the densities requires third density at a minimum, or able to graduate from second. This does not mean that inanimate objects like rocks and air do not have some type of consciousness, just one which we have trouble understanding because it would be a rudimentary form of awareness.

Similarly there is no reason that planets cannot have their own consciousness and even solar systems and galaxies. These are the Sub Logos of creation and exist in all densities and decide the parameters of the creation within their bounds.

That's a good summary.

The reason why i always bring Rudolf Steiner into the game here is, that he is explaining the same in another way and more detailed.
Specially the evolution of our beings and our mind. He defined this evolution steps as planets.
There is a description of him, how to explore this tings for yourself, but this is really for an enthusiastic adept.
