Similarly, the first sub-density would be one of random (and timeless) movement progressing into one of molding and forming of the the earth and water by fire and wind, which I would take to be the second sub-density.Thanks for the excerpts. They do provide helpful context! I suppose one would have to understand how the 4 elements may work together in a dynamic of increasingly complexity. We should be able to (intuitively as least) see how each stage culminates to provide the groundwork for the subsequent stage.
Although the third through sixth sub-densities may have clear delineations, they are not directly alluded to by Ra, they would seem to represent various steps of greater order leading to awareness.
I suspect that this is not the type of discussion that you were after, though. Does it help in any way better elucidate your question?
Was reading a website that attributed the 4 elements to some psychological functions (which presumably have 1st-density analogs):
Air = Thought, Fire = Desire, Water = Emotions, Earth = Stability
Perhaps also, using Jungian typology - Air = Thinking, Fire = Intuition, Water = Feeling, Earth = Sensation ?
Jolande Jacobi, one of Jung's followers, mentioned that Jung intended his four functions as an explanation, not only of psychological behavior, but also in some way of the physical nature of space and time.
So in space/time or time/space terminology, we could have:
Air (Thinking) = space from standpoint space/time
attributes: directed, objective, causal, valuing, yang, grounded, static, linear
Water (Feeling) = time from standpoint of space/time
attributes: undirected, subjective, acausal, valuing, yin, ungrounded, dynamic, circular
Earth (Sensation) = space from standpoint of time/space
attributes: undirected, objective, causal, non-valuing, yang, grounded, static
Intuition (Fire) = time from standpoint of time/space
attributes: directed, subjective, acausal, non-valuing, yin, ungrounded, dynamic
It should be understood that just as space has no meaning without time and vice versa, in dynamic terms, thinking, sensation, feeling and intuition mutually interact with each other (and have no meaning in the absence of each other).
