The Elements

[Silk]

I think to understand the way awareness evolves through densities it's necessary to have a solid ground or understanding of the first density

Absolutely.

Evidently, there is an imbalanced predilection to focus on the "higher" (with a special bias for 4D and 6D—practically skipping 5D altogether, hence the exhibited lack of wisdom, discernment, lucidity), paying little to no attention (Love) to the "lower". Yet the "lower" is one's past. How can one expect to glimpse at the future otherwise?

1D is completely underappreciated and underrepresented. And, by extent, so is 2D (most people superficially think of 2D as "animals and plants"—particularly furry "pets" and sometimes, if one be more generous/empathetic, extending to the inclusion of "farm animals" as well—when in fact 8/9ths of the entire 2D cycle is purely microbial/cellular/genetic: the true "2D body").

The 4 "Classical Elements" come from Greek philosophy (and more broadly speaking Indo-European thought) and are, contrary to deeply ingrained belief (courtesy of modern European esoteric/occultist revival*), mostly symbolic/poetic in nature. Those of Ra simply borrowed from this fact (as they did with the "densities", "wanderers" and "Orion invaders" of 1950's contactee George H Williamson, and the 51%+ STO vs STS concepts from late-1800's Oahspe Bible, etc—all of which were a foundational part of Don's literary/research biases).

*Contrast this with the Asian 5 Elements, which includes Wood (a 2D material) and has no Air (but instead uses Metal alongside Earth). Which begs the question: which one's right(er) then? (Or rather: why are both, actually, fundamentally flawed/misleading?)

Needless to say: those who would truly seek to understand/appreciate what 1D is really about would do well to "travel back" to the so-called Hadean eon of this planetary orb and spend some time therein (hints: magma is the true "fire", which transforms or "cools down" into rock/earth; whilst vapors or atmospheric gases make mist/clouds which over cycles and recycles precipitate into "water" as would be presently understood).

It would also be fruitful to bear in mind that 1D begins and exists in a "timeless" state before even materializing into space/time proper; not completely unlike the "timelessness" of 7D, albeit at opposite ends of the spectrum (evolutionarily-speaking). As such, 1D is the analog of 7D (the same way the entry is analog to the exit, sunrise to sunset, birth to death, beginning to ending).

There is indeed a very, very close relationship between the Creator and 1D that goes almost completely unnoticed.
