Everything you see or otherwise imagine is made of light. And there is no difference between seeing or imagining. You might say seeing is done by the optical lenses of the physical body/apparatus which is filtered into the mind complex for internal processing, and that perhaps the functioning of imagining should be strictly relegated to the mind complex alone—it matters not. This is the point: there is an observer. It is not a question of whether what you observe is “solid” or “intangible”—the point is that you are observing. The act of observing implies an object of observation; which must, out of necessity, be visual—as are all phenomena occurring both/either outside in space/time or/and inside in time/space—and all visual phenomena are constructs of light.
Light comes into being by the action of observation. And the ultimate observer is that one great Original Thought: that focus of intelligent energy known as the Logos, or Love (aptly called "the Creative Principle"). It is by this kinetic focus of pure motion/vibration that all is illuminated. They key is focus, or thought. Thus, the 2nd distortion—Love—creates the 3rd: light.
And you, by being a focus of consciousness, are already a co-Creator.
And though you may not realize it (or may, to greater or lesser extent), you are creating, organizing, ordering, regulating and modulating all the light material around you (within the possibilities/limitations of 3rd-density and, to some extent, 4th) into vibrationally matching arrangements, patterns, and configurations of light by the sheer act of thought alone.
Thought is the Creative Principle. Thought is a focus of consciousness as intelligent energy. Thought is Love. Love is creative (and when I say creativity I mean con-structive and de-structive; or in other words, trans-formative, for Love is not static; Love is kinetic, flux, pure vibration).
What you may not yet realize, though, is that “matter” is light—not clear white light in its un-diffracted purity, but a certain “quality” or “intensity” of the original light—a “type” of light nonetheless.
Indeed, light is the only material in and of Creation.
And Thought creates light. Or if you prefer, Love creates light. Thought, or love, is the Creative Principle: the Great Observer; the active, kinetic focus of intelligent energy, which not only creates or manifests light, but also has the power (i.e. free-will) to direct it, arrange it, and organize it into holographic, illusory shapes, forms and patterns. This is how all densities and planes of manifestation come into being. This is what the Logos is and what the Logos does.
And you are dancing Thoughts—sub-Logoi, co-Creators.
There Is No Other Material Except Light
The “stuff” of the universe is light. The “stuff” that makes up your bodies, whether now in 3rd-density or in 4th, 5th, or 6th, is light. The “stuff” that makes up absolutely every-thing is nothing else but light—although different grades, intensities, or qualities of light; from grosser to finer (or from “material” to “ethereal,” if you like). Light makes up every-thing across all densities—albeit the materiality, substance, physicality, form, texture, solidity, tangibility, flexibility, and overall plasticity (and transparency) of this light is determined by the angular velocity (i.e. vibratory rate, or rotational speed) of the core photonic particle/waves that make up the “stuff”—the material (which in turn makes up the bodies)—of each density. In other words, the yellow-ray frequency of light is different than green- or blue-ray light. Thus, the physicality/materiality of each true-color body changes from density to density (i.e. bodies become more subtle, more refined, more ethereal as the entity moves upwards/inwards ever closer to that great Original Thought which is the source of the un-distorted/un-diffracted, pure, clear white Light).
To be clear: there is One Light. This pure, clear white Light is the manifestation of Love, the Logos, the Creative Principle, the Original Though: the kinetic, energetic focus of Intelligent Infinity in Its free-will.
Those who seek the Light seek the manifestation of Love. Those who seek the Thought seek the Heart of Creation—the source of all Light. Needless to say, Love dwells in light and light is made of Love.
Everything I am here to say is summarized in this one quote alone. I believe comprehending the following is absolutely fundamental to understanding the nature of manifestation and the structure of dimensionalities:
Now, let us “unpack” this. What is a material exactly?
Material (n.)
late 14c., "substance from which something is made" directly from Late Latin materialis (adj.) "of or belonging to matter," from Latin materia (n.) "matter, stuff, substance from which something is made, built, constructed or formed."
In other words, a material is a substance used to build, construct, create some-thing. And to the best of my knowledge, the only material there is in and of Creation is light. Ra has served to confirm this for me (and this is one of the reasons why I hold The Ra Material in such high esteem).
As you read along remember the definition of material, and keep this in mind: light = original material.
Let's recap:
1st distortion = free-will
2nd distortion = Logos = Love = Creative Principle = intelligent energy
3rd distortion = light
In other words, light does not make love—light is the manifestation of love (and by “manifestation” I mean every- and any-thing you see or otherwise imagine; every-thing that is subject to the visual observation of an observer, whether physically or metaphysically). Love—as the focus or thought of intelligent infinity—is, in and of itself, unmanifest: it is beyond manifestation—Love is the manifestator rather than the manifestation, so to speak. Love becomes manifest only in, through, and by light. Love creates light. Light does not create love. There is a precursor to light, and that is love. Further, light—independently of all else—does not equal love except as in “light/love;” for as love creates light, so too will light be full of love, full of energy, full of this creative life. However, it is Love that creates light, not the other way around; and it is love that uses this light as the material for Creation. Thus, love become love/light, and light invariably becomes light/love—there is no light without love just as there is no painting without a painter and no dream without a dreamer—the "heart" or "soul" of the artist will always be in its architecture, shall we say. The moment Intelligent Infinity, in Its free-will, found focus (it con-centrated into a Thought, or Love, or Logos), the moment light came into being and all was illuminated.
Understand: (1) the free-will of Intelligent Infinity leads to (2) a kinetic focus (i.e. thought) of intelligent energy, which manifests (3) the light material (out of which every-thing is subsequently made by diffractions of this one white light, thus resulting in various experiential illusory patterns).
We’ll get into all this more in detail as we go along.
Plain and clear: the simplest manifest being is light (a.k.a. the photon, in modern scientific parlance). Understand: this is the building block of all other forms of manifestation—including "matter." Anyone with an ultra-magnifying microscope can look into a piece of human flesh and see it is made up of vibrant light pixels—or even look into a hard, solid, "dead" rock and realize it's full of hectic particles of light moving like a sea of jittering termites!
In the following quote the questioner asks how was the galaxy and planetary systems formed; to which Ra answers (from here on everything between parentheses in these quotes is mine):
In other words: what you call “matter” is light—albeit in its, shall we say… “brute form.” And I reiterate: the concept of light is instrumental in understanding light is the building block of “matter.”
The questioner now asks what causes the rotation (i.e. energy motions/vibration of Love) so that light condenses into physical or chemical elements. In other words, how does Love, or the Logos, create “matter” through the material known as light? Ra answers as follows:
In other words, Love/the Logos/focus of intelligent energy orders or organizes its light material from greater to lesser, finer to denser if you like (or from “etheric” to “material,” if you prefer), so that when the universe is complete (i.e. ready to be experienced), the manner of development (i.e. evolution) of is inherent in the living light (i.e. matter, material, the physical bodies) and thus will develop (i.e. evolve) in such and such a way (i.e. 1st density leading to 2nd leading to 3rd leading to 4th and so on).
Light in Relation to Evolution, Harvest & Graduation from Density to Density
Now let us explore light in relation to evolution, harvest and graduation from density to density. As we go along you will remember that each density represents the recapitulation of Intelligent Infinity in Its discovery of awareness—each density being of a certain vibratory intensity/quality, or apportion of light (i.e. of separation of white light into distinct colors) and that graduation/harvest from one density to the next lies in an entity’s ability to use, welcome, and enjoy a certain intensity of the white light (i.e. in order to graduate to 4th density one needs be able to use, welcome and enjoy the green-ray intensity of light). Also pay attention to the word “illusion” as we’ll get into that later.
Evolution (i.e. the process back to the One Infinite Creator) begins with a planet commences the first density experience (red-ray vibratory light spectrum):
1st density harvest: graduation to 2nd
Here, Ra is describing how 1st-density chemical (atomic/molecular) substances combine so as to become/evolve into 2nd-density cellular organisms (i.e. which is basically organized 1st-density material). This is 2nd-density harvest.
2nd density harvest: graduation into 3rd
The questioner now asks how did native 2nd-density entities graduate to 3rd density. Ra answers:
In other words, when 2nd-density entity was able to use, welcome and enjoy a greater intensity of light (i.e. yellow-ray), graduation took place, and the 2nd-density being became a 3rd-density being (with the proper bodily reconfiguration/evolvement).
3rd density harvest: graduation to 4th
In other words, for a 3rd-density entity to graduate to 4th-density it needs be able to use, welcome, and enjoy green-ray, or 4th-density, light; just as 1st-density entity needs to be able to use, welcome, and enjoy orange-ray light in order to graduate to 2nd-density.
It continues:
Here, the evolutionary experience of the Creation is likened to a set of stairs—which is most appropriate—; each step (i.e. density) being corresponded to a certain quality or intensity of light, there being a distinct boundary between one color and the next (red, orange, yellow, green, etc). In other words, although there is somewhat of a blending between thresholds, there is a distinct experiential difference between one density and another—and the crossing requires an actual effort (an impulse, a desire, a certain force of will) from the entity's part.
4th-density harvest: graduation to 5th
In other words:
In sum: the readiness for graduation from one density to the next lies in the entity’s ability to use, welcome and enjoy a greater quality of light—this is in turn determined by the strength of will, or desire, that fuels the entity in its seeking to "cross the threshold." There is nothing arbitrary that determines the “readiness” to graduate from one density to the next—it is solely determined by the entity's ability to use, welcome and enjoy a greater quality of light.
Light in Relation to Black Holes
I’ve said this before: black holes are inwardly turned stars; that is to say, light is being absorbed inwards rather than radiated outwards at this point. In other words, the black hole is the gateway back into the Creator (that there is a super-massive black hole in the center of the galaxy remains to be proven or dis-proven—I leave that to your own contemplation).
Remember this: from that focus/con-centration of intelligent energy we call Love was light emanated in the beginning, and into that great original thought of Love must light be absorbed once again in the end. This is the will of the Creator for all infinity; the ebb and the flow, the rhythms and the heartbeat of Creation: radiating/unfolding outwards and thus commencing the Creative experience, and subsequently absorbing/drawing/folding back all inwards and thus ending the Creation. The Creation ends as it begins: in Mystery. And Infinity is free to continues to create infinitely in an ever-present now.
Light in Relation to Bodies
Let’s get something clear: I use the term body strictly to refer to the space/time vehicle used in each density, be that 1st, 3rd, or 6th density. To the best of my knowledge, all bodies are constructs of physical light and operate in space/time.
I’ll make this short using two quotes only:
Prior to this, Ra had said that the entity who had been known as Genghis Khan in a 3rd-density incarnation on this planet was now incarnated as a 4th-density entity. What I wanted to note here is that Ra stated this quite clearly: incarnate in a physical light body. That is to say, the space/time body (i.e. physical) is made of light.
In the following quote Ra is talking about a 5th-density entity:
The only thing I wanted to pluck out of this quote is that the 5th-density entity has both a space/time (physical) body and a time/space (metaphysical) analog. I don’t like to use the term “body” for time/space because the so-called “astral” or “light body” does not serve the functions of a body and lacks all the necessary characteristics of what constitutes a body, properly speaking. (If you practice “astral projection” you should have already learned you don’t even need a “body” in the inner, time/space, metaphysical planes; and that this “astral body”—which you can do away with at any time and just move about as “body-less” mind/spirit consciousness—cannot be properly be called a “body” as such).
I’ll leave you two more quotes to ponder:
If the more advanced bodies are lighter vehicles, the less advanced bodies are, well, less lighter vehicles (i.e. matter).
Remember this: light = original material. “Matter” is not something “other than” light—just light in its grosser, coarser, rougher form. You may see 1st through mid-4th density as the “grosser” half of the light spectrum, and mid-4th density to 7th as the “finer” half. 4th density is right in between the lesser/lower densities and the greater/higher. 4th density may also be seen as the balance-point (50/50) between physical or space/time and metaphysical or time/space. As entities progress through the evolutionary spiral ascending inwards, metaphysical reality progressively begins to play a greater role (just as space/time plays a greater role in the lower densities).
Light in Relation to Illusion(s)
Plain and simple: solar systems, galaxies, and planets, are all referred to as physical illusions. Also notice that Ra says “the light of love;” reaffirming the fact that light is the product, the result, the manifestation of love, which is a kinetic focus of intelligent energy; the Original Thought, or the Logos (i.e. focus or con-centration of energy).
Re-worded: the nature of the vibratory patterns (that make up the densities) of the universe is determined by the focus or Love (again, Love = focus) using intelligent energy (which is basically Love in action directed by free-will) to configure the original material or light (again, light = the original material) to create a certain pattern of illusions or densities (again, densities = illusions).
Again, here we see the definition of densities as illusory patterns. Also notice how each solar system is said to have its own local coordinate of illusory natural laws. In other words: natural laws of physics (or metaphysics, for that matter) are also illusory. As Ra said:
Now, more importantly:
Here Ra states, quite clearly, that the illusion is created of light (by the will of Love) in varying degrees of intensity (i.e. red-, orange-, yellow-, green-ray, etc). In other words, the undistorted, pure, clear white light is diffracted or separated; this separation into “apportions” of light result in the illusory vibratory spectra that are the densities we experience through the Creation.
So what is an illusion? Simple: everything that is not (though apparent rather than real) Intelligent Infinity in Its unpotentiated, boundless, formless state of undistorted, undifferentiated, indivisible Infinity, or Oneness, is, in some way, form, shape, or fashion, an illusion. The “appearance” of something else, something paradoxically “other than,” is the illusion.
There is only One of us here, and yet, we are (paradoxically and seemingly) many. This “manyness,” this “differentiation” from One (again, apparent rather than real) is an illusion. “Variousness” is an illusion. And the illusion is created of light (by the diffractions of light rotating/vibrating at varying frequencies creating form and shape and color and pattern and various states of "materiality").
Thus, from the 3rd distortion (light) come many, many possible distortions which create all the illusory patterns we see; both in space/time as well as time/space. We live in a dream within a dream within a dream. And what we infinitely seek (whether knowingly or unknowingly) is the Dreamer—the Creator—to discover, to experience, that we were/are/always shall be the Dreamer dreaming the dream of Itself. This is the only purpose of the Creation: the experience and the journey. The goal is not necessarily to terminate the illusion, but to experience the journey in awe, wonder and enjoyment until the Creator has been fulfilled with Its own experience of Itself.
In order for this experience to be possible at all, the Creator needs to somehow differentiate Itself from Itself infinitely in order to gain an equally infinite experience of Itself for all infinity. The only way this is possible is to invest Itself in the exploration of illusory shapes and forms and patterns (which, again, are apparent rather than real—because Intelligent Infinity in its unpotentiated, undistorted, undifferentiated state never ceases BEING unpotentiated, undistorted and undifferentiated Infinity, or Oneness—and that is why all of this is an illusion, a kaleidoscopic holographic dream within the imagination of Infinite Intelligence).
Thus, I reiterate once again in the most literal sense: everything you see or otherwise imagine is created of the only material there is: Light—the manifestation of Love (which is a kinetic focus or thought of pure motion, or energy, directed by the free-will of Intelligent Infinity—wherein lies all potentiality, all possibility and all infinity of being).
And though we are aware (to varying degrees of awareness) that “separation” is an illusion, we yet remain very much separated and individuated (are you not an in-divide-dual, after all?). Why is this so? Because we are dancing thoughts in an illusory ballroom of light.
Free-will, love and light are the three distortions of Intelligent Infinity. Intelligent Infinity is All There Is. Everything else is an illusion. The illusion ends just as a long stage play must have a conclusion...
There is no end to your beingness—because there is no beginning.
There is only being.
And you are.
Returning to the one un-diffracted white light will dissolve this Grand Illusion and end this Creation. Light will find its source; that is: Love. And that one great Original Thought will, by free-will, de-focalize, shall we say, into a... for lack of a better word, non-thought or thoughlessness (i.e. cessation of activity, motion, vibration) and return to a state of unpotentiatedness once again.
Without illusion, there is no Creation; and hence no experiential reality.
The Creator shall know Itself.
***
Hopefully, this clears up the erroneous mis-understanding that “illusion” is somehow “bad” or “negative” or "undesirable," and also "amend" the mis-perception that "matter" is something "other than" light.
PS: I could add quotes from the Q'uo transcripts at a later time to support and expand on this subject.
Everything you see or otherwise imagine is made of light. And there is no difference between seeing or imagining. You might say seeing is done by the optical lenses of the physical body/apparatus which is filtered into the mind complex for internal processing, and that perhaps the functioning of imagining should be strictly relegated to the mind complex alone—it matters not. This is the point: there is an observer. It is not a question of whether what you observe is “solid” or “intangible”—the point is that you are observing.

And the ultimate observer is that one great Original Thought: that focus of intelligent energy known as the Logos, or Love (aptly called "the Creative Principle"). It is by this kinetic focus of pure motion/vibration that all is illuminated. They key is focus, or thought. Thus, the 2nd distortion—Love—creates the 3rd: light.
And you, by being a focus of consciousness, are already a co-Creator.
And though you may not realize it (or may, to greater or lesser extent), you are creating, organizing, ordering, regulating and modulating all the light material around you (within the possibilities/limitations of 3rd-density and, to some extent, 4th) into vibrationally matching arrangements, patterns, and configurations of light by the sheer act of thought alone.
Thought is the Creative Principle. Thought is a focus of consciousness as intelligent energy. Thought is Love. Love is creative (and when I say creativity I mean con-structive and de-structive; or in other words, trans-formative, for Love is not static; Love is kinetic, flux, pure vibration).
What you may not yet realize, though, is that “matter” is light—not clear white light in its un-diffracted purity, but a certain “quality” or “intensity” of the original light—a “type” of light nonetheless.
Indeed, light is the only material in and of Creation.
And Thought creates light. Or if you prefer, Love creates light. Thought, or love, is the Creative Principle: the Great Observer; the active, kinetic focus of intelligent energy, which not only creates or manifests light, but also has the power (i.e. free-will) to direct it, arrange it, and organize it into holographic, illusory shapes, forms and patterns. This is how all densities and planes of manifestation come into being. This is what the Logos is and what the Logos does.
And you are dancing Thoughts—sub-Logoi, co-Creators.
There Is No Other Material Except Light
The “stuff” of the universe is light. The “stuff” that makes up your bodies, whether now in 3rd-density or in 4th, 5th, or 6th, is light. The “stuff” that makes up absolutely every-thing is nothing else but light—although different grades, intensities, or qualities of light; from grosser to finer (or from “material” to “ethereal,” if you like). Light makes up every-thing across all densities—albeit the materiality, substance, physicality, form, texture, solidity, tangibility, flexibility, and overall plasticity (and transparency) of this light is determined by the angular velocity (i.e. vibratory rate, or rotational speed) of the core photonic particle/waves that make up the “stuff”—the material (which in turn makes up the bodies)—of each density. In other words, the yellow-ray frequency of light is different than green- or blue-ray light. Thus, the physicality/materiality of each true-color body changes from density to density (i.e. bodies become more subtle, more refined, more ethereal as the entity moves upwards/inwards ever closer to that great Original Thought which is the source of the un-distorted/un-diffracted, pure, clear white Light).
To be clear: there is One Light. This pure, clear white Light is the manifestation of Love, the Logos, the Creative Principle, the Original Though: the kinetic, energetic focus of Intelligent Infinity in Its free-will.
Those who seek the Light seek the manifestation of Love. Those who seek the Thought seek the Heart of Creation—the source of all Light. Needless to say, Love dwells in light and light is made of Love.
Everything I am here to say is summarized in this one quote alone. I believe comprehending the following is absolutely fundamental to understanding the nature of manifestation and the structure of dimensionalities:
Quote:64.6 Our understanding is that there is no other material except light.
Now, let us “unpack” this. What is a material exactly?
Material (n.)
late 14c., "substance from which something is made" directly from Late Latin materialis (adj.) "of or belonging to matter," from Latin materia (n.) "matter, stuff, substance from which something is made, built, constructed or formed."
In other words, a material is a substance used to build, construct, create some-thing. And to the best of my knowledge, the only material there is in and of Creation is light. Ra has served to confirm this for me (and this is one of the reasons why I hold The Ra Material in such high esteem).
As you read along remember the definition of material, and keep this in mind: light = original material.
Let's recap:
Quote:15.21 The first distortion, free will, finds focus. This is the second distortion known to you as Logos, the Creative Principle or Love. This intelligent energy thus creates a distortion known as Light.
1st distortion = free-will
2nd distortion = Logos = Love = Creative Principle = intelligent energy
3rd distortion = light
In other words, light does not make love—light is the manifestation of love (and by “manifestation” I mean every- and any-thing you see or otherwise imagine; every-thing that is subject to the visual observation of an observer, whether physically or metaphysically). Love—as the focus or thought of intelligent infinity—is, in and of itself, unmanifest: it is beyond manifestation—Love is the manifestator rather than the manifestation, so to speak. Love becomes manifest only in, through, and by light. Love creates light. Light does not create love. There is a precursor to light, and that is love. Further, light—independently of all else—does not equal love except as in “light/love;” for as love creates light, so too will light be full of love, full of energy, full of this creative life. However, it is Love that creates light, not the other way around; and it is love that uses this light as the material for Creation. Thus, love become love/light, and light invariably becomes light/love—there is no light without love just as there is no painting without a painter and no dream without a dreamer—the "heart" or "soul" of the artist will always be in its architecture, shall we say. The moment Intelligent Infinity, in Its free-will, found focus (it con-centrated into a Thought, or Love, or Logos), the moment light came into being and all was illuminated.
Understand: (1) the free-will of Intelligent Infinity leads to (2) a kinetic focus (i.e. thought) of intelligent energy, which manifests (3) the light material (out of which every-thing is subsequently made by diffractions of this one white light, thus resulting in various experiential illusory patterns).
We’ll get into all this more in detail as we go along.
Quote:41.9 The simplest manifest being is light or what you have called the photon.
Plain and clear: the simplest manifest being is light (a.k.a. the photon, in modern scientific parlance). Understand: this is the building block of all other forms of manifestation—including "matter." Anyone with an ultra-magnifying microscope can look into a piece of human flesh and see it is made up of vibrant light pixels—or even look into a hard, solid, "dead" rock and realize it's full of hectic particles of light moving like a sea of jittering termites!
In the following quote the questioner asks how was the galaxy and planetary systems formed; to which Ra answers (from here on everything between parentheses in these quotes is mine):
Quote:13.9 You must imagine a great leap of thought in this query, for at the last query the physical (i.e. space/time), as you call, it, universes were not yet born.
The energies (i.e. of Love/the Logos) moved in increasingly intelligent patterns until the individualization of various energies emanating from the creative principle (i.e. Love/the Logos) of intelligent infinity became such as to be co-Creators (i.e. became individuated foci of consciousness as stars/suns). Thus the so-called physical matter began (i.e. when the stars/suns appeared). The concept of light is instrumental in grasping this great leap of thought as this vibrational distortion (i.e. light) of infinity is the building block of that which is known as matter, the light being intelligent and full of energy (i.e. full of love/intelligent energy), thus being the first distortion of intelligent infinity which was called by the creative principle (i.e. Love).
In other words: what you call “matter” is light—albeit in its, shall we say… “brute form.” And I reiterate: the concept of light is instrumental in understanding light is the building block of “matter.”
The questioner now asks what causes the rotation (i.e. energy motions/vibration of Love) so that light condenses into physical or chemical elements. In other words, how does Love, or the Logos, create “matter” through the material known as light? Ra answers as follows:
Quote: 28.5 It is necessary to consider the enabling function of the focus known as Love (Love = focus of Intelligent Infinity in Its free-will, yielding intelligent energy). This energy (i.e. Love/the Logos) is of an ordering nature. It orders in a cumulative way from greater to lesser so that when Its universe, as you may call it, is complete, the manner of development (i.e. evolution) of each detail is inherent in the living light (i.e. matter) and thus will develop (i.e. evolve) in such and such a way[...]
In other words, Love/the Logos/focus of intelligent energy orders or organizes its light material from greater to lesser, finer to denser if you like (or from “etheric” to “material,” if you prefer), so that when the universe is complete (i.e. ready to be experienced), the manner of development (i.e. evolution) of is inherent in the living light (i.e. matter, material, the physical bodies) and thus will develop (i.e. evolve) in such and such a way (i.e. 1st density leading to 2nd leading to 3rd leading to 4th and so on).
Light in Relation to Evolution, Harvest & Graduation from Density to Density
Now let us explore light in relation to evolution, harvest and graduation from density to density. As we go along you will remember that each density represents the recapitulation of Intelligent Infinity in Its discovery of awareness—each density being of a certain vibratory intensity/quality, or apportion of light (i.e. of separation of white light into distinct colors) and that graduation/harvest from one density to the next lies in an entity’s ability to use, welcome, and enjoy a certain intensity of the white light (i.e. in order to graduate to 4th density one needs be able to use, welcome and enjoy the green-ray intensity of light). Also pay attention to the word “illusion” as we’ll get into that later.
Quote:28.2 This information may be of aid here. We speak now nonspecifically to increase the depth of your conceptualization of the nature of what is. The universe in which you live is recapitulation in each part of intelligent infinity. Thus you will see the same patterns repeated in physical and metaphysical areas; the rays or apportions of light (i.e. densities) being, as you surmise, those areas of what you may call the physical illusion which rotate, vibrate, or are of a nature that may be, shall we say, counted or categorized in rotation manner in space/time[...]
Evolution (i.e. the process back to the One Infinite Creator) begins with a planet commences the first density experience (red-ray vibratory light spectrum):
Quote:13.16 Each step recapitulates intelligent infinity in its discovery of awareness. In a planetary environment all begins in what you would call chaos, energy undirected and random in its infinity. Slowly, in your terms of understanding, there forms a focus of self-awareness (i.e. planetary sphere as a focus of energy/love—not yet manifested/materialized into light—being only a vortex of energy). Thus the Logos moves. Light comes to form the darkness (i.e. the planet “materializes” or "forms" in 1st density), according to the co-Creator’s patterns and vibratory rhythms, so constructing a certain type of experience. This begins with first density which is the density of consciousness, the mineral and water life upon the planet learning from fire and wind the awareness of being. This is the first density.
1st density harvest: graduation to 2nd
Here, Ra is describing how 1st-density chemical (atomic/molecular) substances combine so as to become/evolve into 2nd-density cellular organisms (i.e. which is basically organized 1st-density material). This is 2nd-density harvest.
Quote:41.10 As the vibratory energies move from red to orange the vibratory environment is such as to stimulate those chemical substances (of 1st-density material/elements/entities) which lately had been inert to combine in such a fashion that love and light begin the function of growth (i.e. 2nd-density cellular organisms).
2nd density harvest: graduation into 3rd
The questioner now asks how did native 2nd-density entities graduate to 3rd density. Ra answers:
Quote: 14.2 There was […] the simple third-density investment which is the line of spiraling light calling distortion upward from density to density.
In other words, when 2nd-density entity was able to use, welcome and enjoy a greater intensity of light (i.e. yellow-ray), graduation took place, and the 2nd-density being became a 3rd-density being (with the proper bodily reconfiguration/evolvement).
3rd density harvest: graduation to 4th
Quote:82. 29 The necessity for graduation to fourth density is an ability to use, welcome, and enjoy a certain intensity of the white light (i.e. this “certain intensity” being fourth-density light, or the green-ray spectrum of the white light) of the One Infinite Creator.
In other words, for a 3rd-density entity to graduate to 4th-density it needs be able to use, welcome, and enjoy green-ray, or 4th-density, light; just as 1st-density entity needs to be able to use, welcome, and enjoy orange-ray light in order to graduate to 2nd-density.
It continues:
Quote:[...]the measurement would be that of an entity walking up a set of your stairs, each of which was imbued with a certain quality of light. The stair upon which an entity stopped would be either third-density light or fourth-density light. Between the two stairs lies the threshold. To cross that threshold is difficult. There is resistance at the edge, shall we say, of each density. The faculty of faith or will needs to be understood, nourished, and developed in order to have an entity which seeks past the boundary of third density. Those entities which do not do their homework, be they ever so amiable, shall not cross.
Here, the evolutionary experience of the Creation is likened to a set of stairs—which is most appropriate—; each step (i.e. density) being corresponded to a certain quality or intensity of light, there being a distinct boundary between one color and the next (red, orange, yellow, green, etc). In other words, although there is somewhat of a blending between thresholds, there is a distinct experiential difference between one density and another—and the crossing requires an actual effort (an impulse, a desire, a certain force of will) from the entity's part.
Quote:13.17 The spiraling energy, which is the characteristic of what you call “light,” moves in straight line spiral thus giving spirals an inevitable vector upwards to a more comprehensive beingness with regards to intelligent infinity (i.e. each density-experience strives towards using, welcoming, and enjoying an ever greater intensity of light—this is the red-to-violet evolutionary journey. This is the recapitulation Ra speaks of). Thus, first dimensional beingness (i.e. 1st density) strives towards the second-density lessons of a type of awareness which includes growth rather than dissolution or random change.
Quote:13.18 Picture, if you will, the difference between first-vibrational mineral or water life and the lower second-density beings which begin to move about within and upon its being. This movement is the characteristic of second density, the striving towards light and growth (i.e. 2nd-density orange-ray light).
Quote:71.2 The connection between polarization and harvestability is most important in third-density harvest. In this density an increase in the serving of others or the serving of self will almost inevitably increase the ability of an entity to enjoy an higher intensity of light (i.e. green-ray light).
4th-density harvest: graduation to 5th
Quote:47.6 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. There is no percentage describable which measures this understanding. It is a measure of efficiency of perception. It may be measured by light. The ability to love, accept, and use a certain intensity of light (i.e blue-ray) thus creates the requirement for both positive and negative fourth to fifth harvesting.
Quote:48.6 There is very little work in consciousness in fourth and in fifth densities compared to the work done in third density. 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. This intensity continues until the appropriate intensity (i.e. blue-ray) of the light may be welcomed. This is fourth-density harvest.
In other words:
Quote:3.10 The progress is normally from the understanding which you now seek to a dimension of understanding (i.e. green-ray light/4D) which is governed by the laws of love (i.e. green-ray light/4D), and which seeks the laws of light (i.e. blue-ray light/5D). Those who are vibrating with the Law of Light (i.e. blue-ray light/5D) seek the Law of One (i.e. indigo-ray light/6D). Those who vibrate with the Law of One seek the Law of Foreverness (i.e. violet-ray light/7D).
In sum: the readiness for graduation from one density to the next lies in the entity’s ability to use, welcome and enjoy a greater quality of light—this is in turn determined by the strength of will, or desire, that fuels the entity in its seeking to "cross the threshold." There is nothing arbitrary that determines the “readiness” to graduate from one density to the next—it is solely determined by the entity's ability to use, welcome and enjoy a greater quality of light.
Light in Relation to Black Holes
I’ve said this before: black holes are inwardly turned stars; that is to say, light is being absorbed inwards rather than radiated outwards at this point. In other words, the black hole is the gateway back into the Creator (that there is a super-massive black hole in the center of the galaxy remains to be proven or dis-proven—I leave that to your own contemplation).
Quote:29.18 [...]when all of creation in its infinity has reached a spiritual gravitational mass of sufficient nature (late-7th density), the entire creation infinitely coalesces; the light seeking and finding its source (i.e. Love, the Logos) and thusly ending the creation and beginning a new creation much as you consider the black hole, as you call it, with its conditions of infinitely great mass at the zero point from which no light may be seen as it has been absorbed.(There is another quote on the black hole in Post #4 below.)
Remember this: from that focus/con-centration of intelligent energy we call Love was light emanated in the beginning, and into that great original thought of Love must light be absorbed once again in the end. This is the will of the Creator for all infinity; the ebb and the flow, the rhythms and the heartbeat of Creation: radiating/unfolding outwards and thus commencing the Creative experience, and subsequently absorbing/drawing/folding back all inwards and thus ending the Creation. The Creation ends as it begins: in Mystery. And Infinity is free to continues to create infinitely in an ever-present now.
Light in Relation to Bodies
Let’s get something clear: I use the term body strictly to refer to the space/time vehicle used in each density, be that 1st, 3rd, or 6th density. To the best of my knowledge, all bodies are constructs of physical light and operate in space/time.
I’ll make this short using two quotes only:
Quote:11.15 The one you speak of as Genghis Khan, at present, is incarnate in a physical light body which has the work of disseminating material of thought control to those who are what you may call crusaders.
Prior to this, Ra had said that the entity who had been known as Genghis Khan in a 3rd-density incarnation on this planet was now incarnated as a 4th-density entity. What I wanted to note here is that Ra stated this quite clearly: incarnate in a physical light body. That is to say, the space/time body (i.e. physical) is made of light.
In the following quote Ra is talking about a 5th-density entity:
Quote:67.6 This query is not particularly simple to answer due to the transdimensional nature, not only of space/time to time/space, but from density to density. The time/space light or fifth-density body is used while the space/time fifth-density body remains in fifth density. The assumption that the consciousness is projected thereby is correct. The assumption that this conscious vehicle attached to the space/time fifth-density physical complex is that vehicle which works in this particular service is correct.
The only thing I wanted to pluck out of this quote is that the 5th-density entity has both a space/time (physical) body and a time/space (metaphysical) analog. I don’t like to use the term “body” for time/space because the so-called “astral” or “light body” does not serve the functions of a body and lacks all the necessary characteristics of what constitutes a body, properly speaking. (If you practice “astral projection” you should have already learned you don’t even need a “body” in the inner, time/space, metaphysical planes; and that this “astral body”—which you can do away with at any time and just move about as “body-less” mind/spirit consciousness—cannot be properly be called a “body” as such).
I’ll leave you two more quotes to ponder:
Quote:54.6 [...] although it is true that each true-color vehicle is available potentially there is skill and discipline needed in order to avail the self of the more advanced or lighter vehicles.
If the more advanced bodies are lighter vehicles, the less advanced bodies are, well, less lighter vehicles (i.e. matter).
Quote:59.24 [...] the grosser or less dense materials will be pulled into conformation with the denser and lighter energies which give your Logos its proceedings through the realms of experience.
Remember this: light = original material. “Matter” is not something “other than” light—just light in its grosser, coarser, rougher form. You may see 1st through mid-4th density as the “grosser” half of the light spectrum, and mid-4th density to 7th as the “finer” half. 4th density is right in between the lesser/lower densities and the greater/higher. 4th density may also be seen as the balance-point (50/50) between physical or space/time and metaphysical or time/space. As entities progress through the evolutionary spiral ascending inwards, metaphysical reality progressively begins to play a greater role (just as space/time plays a greater role in the lower densities).
Light in Relation to Illusion(s)
Quote:13.9 This light of love was made to have in its occurrences of being certain characteristics, among them the infinite whole paradoxically described by the straight line, as you would call it. This paradox is responsible for the shape of the various physical illusion entities you call solar systems, galaxies, and planets, all revolving and tending towards the lenticular.
Plain and simple: solar systems, galaxies, and planets, are all referred to as physical illusions. Also notice that Ra says “the light of love;” reaffirming the fact that light is the product, the result, the manifestation of love, which is a kinetic focus of intelligent energy; the Original Thought, or the Logos (i.e. focus or con-centration of energy).
Quote:27.17 The nature of the vibratory patterns of your universe is dependent upon the configurations placed upon the original material or light (again: light = the original material) by the focus or Love (again, Love = focus, con-centration) using Its intelligent energy to create a certain pattern of illusions or densities (read again: densities = illusions) in order to satisfy Its own intelligent estimate of a method of knowing Itself. Thus the colors, as you call them, are as strait, or narrow, or necessary as is possible to express, given the will of Love.
Re-worded: the nature of the vibratory patterns (that make up the densities) of the universe is determined by the focus or Love (again, Love = focus) using intelligent energy (which is basically Love in action directed by free-will) to configure the original material or light (again, light = the original material) to create a certain pattern of illusions or densities (again, densities = illusions).
Quote:13.13 Thus, each solar system has its own, shall we say, local coordinate system of illusory natural laws. It shall be understood that any portion, no matter how small, of any density or illusory pattern (again, density = illusory pattern) contains, as in an holographic picture, the One Creator which is infinity. Thus all begins and ends in mystery.
Again, here we see the definition of densities as illusory patterns. Also notice how each solar system is said to have its own local coordinate of illusory natural laws. In other words: natural laws of physics (or metaphysics, for that matter) are also illusory. As Ra said:
Quote:70.17 [...]time/space is no more homogenous than space/time. It is as complex and complete a system of illusions, dances, and pattern as is space/time and has as structured a system of what you may call natural laws.(And remember, natural laws are illusory too.)
Now, more importantly:
Quote:6.14 Thus, the illusion is created of light, or more properly but less understandably, light/love. This is in varying degrees of intensity.
Here Ra states, quite clearly, that the illusion is created of light (by the will of Love) in varying degrees of intensity (i.e. red-, orange-, yellow-, green-ray, etc). In other words, the undistorted, pure, clear white light is diffracted or separated; this separation into “apportions” of light result in the illusory vibratory spectra that are the densities we experience through the Creation.
So what is an illusion? Simple: everything that is not (though apparent rather than real) Intelligent Infinity in Its unpotentiated, boundless, formless state of undistorted, undifferentiated, indivisible Infinity, or Oneness, is, in some way, form, shape, or fashion, an illusion. The “appearance” of something else, something paradoxically “other than,” is the illusion.
There is only One of us here, and yet, we are (paradoxically and seemingly) many. This “manyness,” this “differentiation” from One (again, apparent rather than real) is an illusion. “Variousness” is an illusion. And the illusion is created of light (by the diffractions of light rotating/vibrating at varying frequencies creating form and shape and color and pattern and various states of "materiality").
Thus, from the 3rd distortion (light) come many, many possible distortions which create all the illusory patterns we see; both in space/time as well as time/space. We live in a dream within a dream within a dream. And what we infinitely seek (whether knowingly or unknowingly) is the Dreamer—the Creator—to discover, to experience, that we were/are/always shall be the Dreamer dreaming the dream of Itself. This is the only purpose of the Creation: the experience and the journey. The goal is not necessarily to terminate the illusion, but to experience the journey in awe, wonder and enjoyment until the Creator has been fulfilled with Its own experience of Itself.
In order for this experience to be possible at all, the Creator needs to somehow differentiate Itself from Itself infinitely in order to gain an equally infinite experience of Itself for all infinity. The only way this is possible is to invest Itself in the exploration of illusory shapes and forms and patterns (which, again, are apparent rather than real—because Intelligent Infinity in its unpotentiated, undistorted, undifferentiated state never ceases BEING unpotentiated, undistorted and undifferentiated Infinity, or Oneness—and that is why all of this is an illusion, a kaleidoscopic holographic dream within the imagination of Infinite Intelligence).
Thus, I reiterate once again in the most literal sense: everything you see or otherwise imagine is created of the only material there is: Light—the manifestation of Love (which is a kinetic focus or thought of pure motion, or energy, directed by the free-will of Intelligent Infinity—wherein lies all potentiality, all possibility and all infinity of being).
And though we are aware (to varying degrees of awareness) that “separation” is an illusion, we yet remain very much separated and individuated (are you not an in-divide-dual, after all?). Why is this so? Because we are dancing thoughts in an illusory ballroom of light.
Free-will, love and light are the three distortions of Intelligent Infinity. Intelligent Infinity is All There Is. Everything else is an illusion. The illusion ends just as a long stage play must have a conclusion...
Quote:104.26 And throughout the grand illusion and the following and the following there is the undergirding majesty of the One Infinite Creator. All is well. Nothing is lost. Go forth rejoicing in the love and the light, the peace and the power of the One Infinite Creator.
There is no end to your beingness—because there is no beginning.
There is only being.
And you are.
Returning to the one un-diffracted white light will dissolve this Grand Illusion and end this Creation. Light will find its source; that is: Love. And that one great Original Thought will, by free-will, de-focalize, shall we say, into a... for lack of a better word, non-thought or thoughlessness (i.e. cessation of activity, motion, vibration) and return to a state of unpotentiatedness once again.
Without illusion, there is no Creation; and hence no experiential reality.
The Creator shall know Itself.
***
Hopefully, this clears up the erroneous mis-understanding that “illusion” is somehow “bad” or “negative” or "undesirable," and also "amend" the mis-perception that "matter" is something "other than" light.
PS: I could add quotes from the Q'uo transcripts at a later time to support and expand on this subject.
