7 bodies in each density, or just 1 body?

[anagogy]

the following passage has me tied up in knots. I can read it as saying:

a) you have 7 bodies in 3rd density (and each other density)
or
b) you have 1 body in third density, but your bodies from 'other' densities can be activated and thus overlap

the main quote is below, and followup questions (which confuse the issue) begin here: http://www.lawofone.info/results.php?ses...=47&ss=1#9

I am leaning towards the first interpretation, as this repeats the number 7 in our density (along with 7 chakras).

I was interpreting it as version b for a while, but this doesn't make much sense as Ra says that 'normal' people only have their 3rd Density bodies activated (and Crystal Children their 4th as well).

I realize this is from a while back, but I just thought I would offer my slant on the question.

My opinion: you have seven bodies -- one in each density. You always have seven bodies in the time/space densities. These are the bodies in "potentiation". However the number of space/time bodies that you have "activated" at this particular experiential nexus is variable.

The time/space "bodies" are the inner thought-form constructs or manifestations associated with the consciousness of any particular given density. The space/time bodies are the tangible crystallized expression of that energy pattern. The thought-form construct-body in time/space potentiation is used as a template to create the space/time materialization.

A lot of people don't actually understand what thought forms are. Ra gives a general explanation though in this section:

76.3 Questioner: Of the three things that you mentioned that we could do for the instrument’s benefit, would you clarify the last one? I didn’t quite understand what you meant.

Ra: I am Ra. As the entity which you are allows its being to empathize with another being, so then it may choose to share with the other-self those energies which may be salubrious to the other-self. The mechanism of these energy transfers is the thought or, more precisely, the thought-form for any thought is a form or symbol or thing that is an object seen in time/space reference.

So you see, the "thought" itself, the non-physical time/space component, is intangible consciousness of a certain vibrational quality, whereas the "thought-form" is the symbol or translation of that thought in tangible terms.

Time/space is basically the intangible mental component, and space/time the tangible physical component. Even when you are out of your physical body, and you "see" things that appear like tangible objects in the "astral plane" (which actually encompasses about 3 time/space densities by the way), you are actually just seeing your minds translation of intangible thoughts.

This is why, for example, when you "astral project" you will find things are not completely as they are in the "physical world". Many people use this as evidence to dismiss the reality of such travel, but everybody translates these "consciousness streams" differently, so there will almost always be nuances in translation. The mind "dresses" the intangible consciousness streams in the available ward-robe of three dimensional imagery it has acquired during its sojourns in the physical world, with its physical sensory apparatus.

Isn't that interesting?

there was some supporting info in session 17 on the astral and devachanic planes:

17.36 Questioner: I’ve heard that there are seven astral and seven devachanic primary levels. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. You speak of some of the more large distinctions in levels in your inner planes. That is correct.

17.37 Questioner: Well, who inhabit the astral and who inhabit the devachanic planes?

Ra: I am Ra. Entities inhabit the various planes due to their vibrational nature. The astral plane varies from thought-forms in the lower extremities to enlightened beings who become dedicated to teach/learning in the higher astral planes.

In the devachanic planes, as you call them, are those whose vibrations are even more close to the primal distortions of love/light.

Beyond these planes there are others.

******************************************************

My opinion and understanding is that:

The lower astral plane is comprised of 2nd density in time/space, with seven general vibrational levels. The middle astral plane is 3rd density in time/space, with seven vibrational levels. The higher astral plane is the 4th density in time/space, with seven vibrational levels. The devachanic plane is the 5th density in time/space, and is equivalent to what occultists would call the "mental plane". The sixth density is the "causal plane" in time/space. All having seven within seven within seven, ad infinitum.

But really, you can call them whatever you like. Names aren't that important.
