I think we decided to be here in the physical realm in order to "ground" spirit and lift physicality through the agency of the Mind, to bring the upper to the lower and the lower to the upper ("as above so below" is an intention, not just a maxim expressing the fact that the microcosm reflects the macrocosm).
The winged creatures make me think of the Winged Bulls in the British Museum--a man's head on a bull's body with wings. It speaks to our triple nature in Mind, Body, Spirit. http://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/hig..._bull.aspx
Sorry! I never saw this. I agree with your analogy of grounding the spirit. If we integrate the spirit to create changes in the form, the ground of being and its manifestation (which we could refer to as its body), is raised to a higher level. Because if we're to usher in a new reality, we have to create changes in how its outer manifestation functions. The body's movements, its actions, in other words its service, becomes an integral part in moving the collective body forward.
What's interesting is that I've had three dream contacts, and in the one I walked down a flight of steps to a doorway. I knew that it was the door to fourth density. When I opened it, there were three ET humans waiting there to greet me.
The interesting question is why would I symbolically be walking downward to a new reality, rather than ascending? I think it relates to the grounding concept you mentioned..returning down to the foundation of the "pyramid" to begin anew. Refinement of consciousness leading to the choice could symbolically be represented as building and moving upward on the pyramid that I describe here in post #6. This movement upwards is attainment of sight/wisdom/knowledge.
Below, the concept of applying understanding by way of putting it into motion, is to place one's self in a new foundation..represented as walking back down to the bottom of the pyramid. That's what I saw inwardly. Because any contact with violet will move into a new state of red. This transformation of form embodies more of the creation, it is a "return" to beingness, that solid foundation of everlasting rock just existing. So we are on a path backwards to reunite with spirit..which could explain the descent (this dream didn't occur during my awakening period by the way). Picture "integrating into unity", the application of understanding towards balance (greater states of beingness), as imprinting a pyramid back into the whole process with the foundation at the top pointing downwards, forming a merkaba. The higher into the lower as you put it..
Quote:However, we can only say the material for your understanding is the self: the mind/body/spirit complex. You have been given information upon healing, as you call this distortion. This information may be seen in a more general context as ways to understand the self. The understanding, experiencing, accepting, and merging of self with self and other-self, and finally with the Creator, is the path to the heart of self. [...] Without such a method of reversing the analytical process, one could not integrate into unity the many understandings gained in such seeking.
And here we see that once the choice is made, balancing interaction (movement) and refinement of service becomes essential..
Quote:The work that is accomplished in positive fourth is that work whereby the positive social memory complex, having, through slow stages, harmoniously integrated itself, goes forth to aid those of less positive orientation which seek their aid. Thus their service is their work and through this dynamic between the societal self and the other-self, which is the object of love, greater and greater intensities of understanding or compassion are attained.
And so, the spirit's use of the body to perform service seems to be significant. Here Ra speaks of the fourth density requirements for harvest into fifth..
Quote:The percentage of service-to-others of positively oriented entities will harmoniously approach 98% in intention. The qualifications for fifth density, however, involve understanding. This then, becomes the primary qualification for graduation from fourth to fifth density. To achieve this graduation the entity must be able to understand the actions, the movements, and the dance.
