Even those Enlightened have distortion?

So everyone is bound by the societal mind, in other words, and the mechanism of the choice is entirely manufactured through use of catalyst?

Yes.

I have seen you mention before about "4D manifestation in local space/time", so how could that kind of thing be possible?

Local is an incarnation. So by body, which is composed of the local 4D core elements and mind which is of that 4D vibration and attached to that body.

The energy centers in 3D are certainly not correlated with the subdensities as in a mapping from red=1st -> violet=7th.
If you are vibrating on the 7th subdensity, that's an expression of minimal/beginning green center balance. Has nothing to do with higher balance or even necessary use of those centers.

I can think of several quotes where Ra directly correlates the energy centers with subdensities.

For example:

17.38 Questioner: Well, does each… does… this is difficult. Our physical plane: Are there seven sub-planes to what we call our physical plane here?

Ra: I am Ra. You are correct. This is difficult to understand. There are an infinite number of planes. In your particular space/time continuum distortion there are seven sub-planes of mind/body/spirit complexes. You will discover the vibrational nature of these seven planes as you pass through your experiential distortions, meeting other-selves of the various levels which correspond to the energy influx centers of the physical vehicle.

The invisible, or inner, third-density planes are inhabited by those who are not of body complex natures such as yours; that is, they do not collect about their spirit/mind complexes a chemical body. Nevertheless these entities are divided in what you may call an artificial dream within a dream into various levels. In the upper levels, desire to communicate knowledge back down to the outer planes of existence becomes less, due to the intensive learn/teaching which occurs upon these levels.

17.39 Questioner: Then is it necessary to penetrate one plane at a time as we move from what we call third-density physical through these planes?

Ra: I am Ra. It has been our experience that some penetrate several planes at one time. Others penetrate them slowly. Some in eagerness attempt to penetrate the higher planes before penetrating the energies of the so-called lower or more fundamental planes. This causes energy imbalance.

You will find ill health, as you call this distortion, to frequently be the result of a subtle mismatch of energies in which some of the higher energy levels are being activated by the conscious attempts of the entity while the entity has not penetrated the lower energy centers or sub-densities of this density.

When Ra says "penetrating" they do not mean balancing or working with, they mean able to work with or had an experience with - "activated" which is random and unconscious. The balance necessary to be "at" a particular subdensity relies soley on the average balance of the yellow and green centers. In other words, when one is harvestable, that is not the 4th subdensity of 3rd density. That's the completion of 7th subdensity, which signals ability to accept 4th density light. Makes sense? What you say regarding crystalization does not apply.

"the adept is one which will go beyond the green ray which signals entry into harvestability. " If you claim that the 4th subdensity is simply working to balance green ray, then the next level of vibration is necessarily 4 subdensities away. That's 4 subdensities with lessons unlearned or experienced. You don't skip the half the lessons of a density in order to be prepared for the next density.
