Physical Light and Metaphysical Light

[Vestige]

ha ha, vestige, it does appear we were on the same wave length.  
your sharing has helped me, or should I say, shed some light (pun too obvious) on my understanding. 

...I want to say that your pun is delightful, and if we're using the English definition that is true--but now I always read the word as "de-light," so it doesn't feel as proper to use.  I'll just say that I enjoyed your pun.  I'm glad that my sharing has been of some help to you--and I'm glad just to have the conversation, too.      

My understanding is quite basic at this time. 

This barely makes any sense to me.  ha ha ha ... these are all just hunches all swirling about in my wee little brain.

We're all in the same boat. 
... You also wish to penetrate the illusion but not to deny the illusion. ... 
 ... Can you metaphorically sit in the bottom of this canoe and trust that the mist will rise when it is ready? ...

As each entity within this third-density illusion exercises free will, it is attempting to create a sensibility, or a construction of understanding concerning the world in which it finds itself, in the manner in which it moves through this created world. As Ra has said so many times, this density in which you exist is not a density of understanding—it is density of intentions. [https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/2019/0330]
I enjoy exploring these concepts, not intending to prove anything but, rather, as a form of worship of/to our Creator, and intending to create space for moments like this one between you and me.    I also wanted to strengthen the connections I have with my guidance, to exercise that faith, and to honor and appreciate all of my subconscious guides, or helpers, or friends.  I feel that my reading comprehension is fairly good, but I won't know whether all of the hypotheses I'm making have any root in reality until we move on to the next density--I just trust that my exploration will be informative in some way or another.  In the process of it, I have been uncovering or just recalling many, many memories, feeling the emotions they carry, and reintegrating them--so, already, I have been given many gifts.  
With all of that in mind, I'm eager to see what else you have written... so, OK, here we go...

When we receive instreamings of light, I see that it may be filtered to some degree before it even reaches us. Our cosmos has a bias towards Love, or Logos (undifferentiated Love, presumably). As well, our planetary sphere is receiving more 4D energies at this time. 

I agree with you on this, too.  You are referring to the true colors of each density, yes?  
... The fourth density is, as we have said, as regularized in its approach as the striking of a clock upon the hour. The space/time of your solar system has enabled this planetary sphere to spiral into space/time of a different vibrational configuration. This causes the planetary sphere to be able to be molded by these new distortions. [https://www.lawofone.info/s/13#23]
... Visualize, if you will, the particular energy which, outward flowing and inward coagulating, formed the tiny realm of the creation governed by your Council of Saturn. Continue seeing the rhythm of this process. The living flow creates a rhythm which is as inevitable as one of your timepieces. Each of your planetary entities began the first cycle when the energy nexus was able in that environment to support such mind/body experiences. Thus, each of your planetary entities is on a different cyclical schedule, as you might call it. The timing of these cycles is a measurement equal to a portion of intelligent energy. [https://www.lawofone.info/s/9#4]
... the frequency that is the basis of each density is what may be called a true color. This term is impossible to define given your system of sensibilities and scientific measurements, for color has vibratory characteristics both in space/time and in time/space. The true color is then overlaid and tinged by the rainbow of the various vibratory levels within that density and the attraction vibrations of the next true-color density. [https://www.lawofone.info/s/40#6]
I offer the image of a rainbow in mist:

I ask that you designate the ocean as a "causal ocean," as the inchoate form of the entire octave.  The ocean spray "outward flowing and inward coagulating" so that it hangs in the air as mist can be seen as the co-creation of all the sub-Logoi, with each water droplet representing a planetary sphere.  The light of the Creator is surrounding and suffusing the mist--so, it is always available in its undifferentiated form.  The light has also refracted to form the rainbow, the seven densities of the octave.  In this respect, I agree with you--that light has already been filtered, been shaped, so to speak.  As the mist drifts and falls, the droplets move and become illumined with the colors of the rainbow; as our planet is drawn nearer to the central sun, it generates the appropriate density waveform.  

I see us as a polarizing filter (so to speak) - what I see as a light house - being refined with each and every choice we make so, it's dynamic. As we refine our polarity, or polarizing filter, say towards STO, we attract, accept, transmute and radiate a more refined (polarized) light. Herein, I see what Diana describes as service-to-all (I like her term). We may radiate a more polarized light through which we 'see' the creation. And, what we see, we are. What we are, we see.

Now, Ra et al refer to, quite frequently, mirrors and reflection. We see about us an infinitely-faceted mirror and it reflects back to us ourselves. When we gaze about us, we see what? We see the illusion, the house of mirrors. We see that which we are. And, free will is key here in the seeing and gazing at what is reflected back to us. I think I understand the act of seeing (and the implied choices therein) as the Experience (to pull in the archetypes).

We may not truly be able to "understand" in this density, but, my friend, I believe we are sharing a mind right now.  It's as if you have anticipated the questions I have for myself.  I had been attempting to comprehend what Ra offered here... 
It is completely true to the best of our knowledge that the orientation or polarization of the mind/body/spirit complex is cause of the perceptions generated by each entity.  [https://www.lawofone.info/s/33#8]
... as I was operating under the premise that perceptions formed the orientation--"due to analysis of desire" as Ra also says.  I could not make a guess as to how one or the other orientation would actually be adopted--that is, how does an entity resolve that their desire is to dedicate themselves to service-to-self or to service-to-others?  Ra assures us that there is no bias toward polarity carried over from the second density--these entities express cruelty and kindness alike with complete innocence, so the bias toward defending the pack or family or nation that we may enter with is yet without polarity.  We also have the hints toward the positive path inbuilt by our Logos.  So, how do we have any negative entities in this galaxy at all? ...What we see, we are. What we are, we see.  
The first development in consciousness of third density is the creation or realization of the individualized personality.  From there, it becomes quite easy for us to fall into the Actor-Observer Bias.  Imagine two entities within the early third density who share nearly the same incarnational schedule--as if one is, metaphysically, the older sibling to the other.  The younger sibling still has their bias toward defending the pack, while the older sibling has released or at least refined this bias.  The older sibling sees the younger sibling harass a neighbor (note: not actually siblings; perhaps they are all neighbors with no blood relation), for this neighbor lives at the end of the road, never waves hello, and has a different shade to their skin than do the two 'siblings.'  The 'older sibling' sees this while aware that all three individuals are, in fact, individuals.  He then assumes that the 'younger sibling' is harassing their neighbor out of some conscious and wicked intention--maybe, to mug him, or injure him, even though this neighbor has never stolen from nor injured anyone else.  The 'younger sibling' might do harm to the neighbor, but the behavior is somewhat instinctual and unconscious.  He does not see an individual; he sees a group, a rival pack which poses a threat.
The 'older sibling' does not consider this; he has grown enough to recognize and respect individual identity, but he has not yet developed great patience and forgiveness.  Perhaps he values the sanctity of his neighborhood and works toward its betterment.  He may have helped both of these neighbors move into their houses and offered what he could to welcome them, to work for the benefit of their comfort and peace.  The 'older sibling' is vibrating positively in orange and yellow, and might have even activated green but has not opened it to a significant degree.  This entity had (while preincarnate) planned for this encounter, so as to trial this "universal love" he had been hearing about from his fellow spirits.  And, perceiving an injustice, here, perpetrated by one neighbor to another--to this entity, it is like a stormcloud.  His hopes for a neighborhood full of helping hands and happy faces have been swallowed up by this stormcloud--and like lightning, he strikes.  He pushes his way between his two neighbors.  He pushes his 'younger sibling' to the ground.  He shouts for the other neighbor to "get inside, get safe," while he brings his own hand down on his spiritual brother.  From that day forward, from that lifetime forward, he rejects the green-ray, now seeing it as hopelessly naïve--the neighborhood cannot survive on smiles alone; the neighborhood can only remain safe if he remains stern and watchful... What we see, we are.
And what we are, we see... to return to the metaphor in the mist.  Earth-as-entity has entered the true color green time/space and, now, also space/time.  Entities who can 'see' this color, who can 'see' the fourth density, are either harvestable positive (or closely approaching?) or have literally seen fourth density and have returned as dual-activated entities.  They look upon the true color yellow earth and see it perhaps as more of a yellow-green.  Maybe, if they were standing on those crags there, their gaze would be fixed on the yellow and green stripes in that rainbow, for they are accepting and enjoying the moment.  Maybe they stand next to another, and this other entity recoils from the cold ocean spray--they keep glancing at the dry mosses and ferns at the top of the crags, then back to the rainbow when their companion giggles from the joy of seeing it, but they glance only briefly and so see only the orange and red stripes as they shunt the rainbow to their peripheral view once more.  Their companion spies a turtle and begs them to look--but this, unintentionally, just puts a further damper on things.  The entity is now confident that they want to walk away, towel off, and lock themselves in their room to enjoy a solitary cup of hot chocolate.  As Ra puts it, "the influences of the true-color green acting upon yellow-ray entities have caused many entities to revert to the consideration of self" - which is the orange-ray.  The turtle watcher recognized the rainbow as well as the ocean, the crags, and even the sky as all one illusion.  Yet, it was real enough to them: it brought joy, and that joy was real.  The hot chocolate connoisseur saw only some bright mist, damp rocks, and rising waves.  Seen, but not for what it was, and not enjoyed.

I do not understand the function of polarizing light in reference to the absorption of light, which I see as the STS path. A polarizing filter seems to 'regularize' light electromagnetic waves, so do STS beings (as polarizing filters) retain some of the light before radiating it? Or perhaps STS 'filters' have a quality of retention/absorption so that much of the light does not pass through their filter and radiate from them?

 This is one of the most intriguing concepts to me--well, if you will excuse the interpretation I am foisting onto your words.  This concept of "regularizing" and "retaining" light is, I feel, related to what the Confederation has said about our relationship to the Creator.  Again, microcosm-macrocosm... although I have been learning recently just how profound this relationship really is.

I am Q’uo. The Creator created a great original Expression or Thought. This we have called the logos or love. This principle, this love, created all that there is by the quantizing articulation of light. Yet all that is created is of the nature of its parent source, which is love. The reason for offering love, appreciation, a blessing and thanksgiving to the infinite One is that the entity within incarnation is attempting to form its vibratory frequency more and more like that of the vibrational frequency of the one great original Thought, which is love. The closer the seeker comes to matching that vibratory frequency, the more that entity will be perceived as offering praise and thanksgiving. This is true far beneath any articulation of words or even what you consider thoughts. Rather, it is in the nature of the way creation is built. That is, original Thought expresses in love, thanks, blessing, praise and rejoicing. Thusly, it is not a Creator hungry for praise and thanks that requires homage of its worshippers, but rather it is love, it is reflected in love, and in that infinite reflection lies truth.
[https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/1993/0627]
...
The one original Thought upon which all creation was founded and with which all creation redounds is love. Yes, my friends, love is a thought, a principle, a logos. You, by your very consciousnesses, are the Logos in a holographic representation, yet you are completely unlike any other holographic representation of the Creator, for your experiences are unique to your particular consciousness. Your field of energy is completely unique and precious to the one infinite Creator, and your greatest gift is your being, for by your mirroring of your perceptions, the Creator learns of Itself.
[https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/1986/0720]
...
Now, one could easily suppose that were it the case that in one bright, shining day, all were able to return fulsome love back to the Creator, that the Creator would stand fully exposed to itself, and would know itself finally in Its completeness. However, it has been our experience, (and once again we would like to iterate that our experience is limited), that no knowing ever even begins to exhaust the mystery of the Creator, or the mystery of the creation. It is truly an inexhaustible source. And that inexhaustibility is something which you may sense in a small way in your experiences of love for your fellow creatures. For when you love your beloved, when you love your wife, when you love your husband, when you love your children, when you love your friends, when you love your groups, when you love your planet, you do so in such a way that it does not diminish that which is love. In fact, strangely, it seems to augment that which is love, and once again we face a paradox or a mystery, because a mystery which is so infinite and so completely mysterious, which seemed to be something that could not become more itself, that is to say, more mysterious, by being loved, and yet, it seems to us that this is exactly what happens. It seems to us that the creation does become more, and that the concept of infinity very strangely, incomprehensibly, is susceptible of becoming more. And more than that, it is of such a nature intrinsically that the orientation to more is part of its very constitution, part of its make-up.
... when you are able to find in yourself that resonance of love that can reach out to that which does not solicit it, but rather seems on the contrary to reject it, you have inched, however slightly, towards a wholeness of your whole being, towards a realization of your own being as unified, and every such experience of loving the unlovable, every such experience of unifying the un-unified is an experience of the Creator finding Its lost love returning home, returning to its source. And in doing so, you give also the opportunity of that other center of being, that other incarnate individual, an opportunity, perhaps, to experience (once again however slightly), an aspect of itself, himself, herself, not previously accessible. And so love heals many a wound, love bridges many a division. Love offers itself both as a possible activity and as a condition of being which is the very stuff, the very source, the very destiny of the entire Creation.

When I first read Ra sessions, I did not read it in terms of light/energy exchanges, I accepted these terms contextually and at face value. So, I am just now adding this layer of understanding.

I mentioned in another post and this thread's original post the concept of 'waveform superposition.'  I see this physical concept of ours here on earth to parallel with the metaphysical processes of psychic greeting, of fourth-density light warfare, and the harvest mechanic of the 'stairs of light.'  I'm still refining the hypotheses of that third process, the stairs of light.  Don used physics vocabulary too, naturally, for example, "flux rate":     
80.18 Questioner: Then would this process of radiation or absorption, since we have what I would call a flux or flux rate, be the measure of the power of the adept?

Ra: I am Ra. This may be seen to be a reasonably adequate statement.
Ra was fine with it, so I would guess that our experiences as conscious, personal, individualized entities would have a subtle manifestation as a more mathematical phenomenon, too.  (Maybe that explains the odd visions that partakers in DMT have witnessed, like their technicolor hyperdimensional geometries? )

That's all I had for now.  Thanks.
