'Creator' - In-depth analysis, based on Cassiopaean and Ra Teachings

The Force is Strong With This One
This topic is about the Creator and the 'mystery' of 'Octaves'. It is going to be 'huge' so please bear with me and i promise it will be worthwhile. Read the bold-ed parts in the quotes to get 'basic' idea for faster reading.

We have called the 'Creator' by many names, 'The One', 'The Infinite', 'The All-ness of All' and the most common: 'God'. The creator is not 'outside' of ourselves as
monotheistic religions claim. Everything in 'creation' is a 'holographic' representation of the same 'force' or 'essence' of the creator. Picture 'god' as an ocean, and a
drop of water to be 'you'. If you pour that 'drop' of water into the ocean, where does the drop of water 'begin' and where does it 'end'. Does it not essentially become 'one and the same thing' ?

It is said that 'god' does not perceive 'time' and that 'IT' exists in a 'still' state of 'time'. Creator exists on the 7th Density as the 'Cassiopaeans' and 'Ra' have clearly
mentioned on various occasions. I imagine the 'Infinite Creator' to be a 'Sphere', an 'illusional sphere'. Since all and everything is an 'illusion' in the 'infinite'
mind/thoughts of the Creator.

Q: (L) An eye.
A: Now we are starting to turn it into a sphere! Why would it turn into a sphere?
Q: (L) How can it turn into a sphere?
A: How can it not!
Q: (SV) It is going in ALL directions, not just flat...
A: Is a straight line a straight line or a...
Q: (L) Oh, you're not talking about a circle?
A: We are talking about a circle. What becomes of a circle if you expand it outward forever?
Q: (J) It disappears.
A: It disappears? How can it disappear? Where does it disappear to? We ask you that, JR? JR?
Q: (J) Visually, as the outer circle expands, the inner circle becomes smaller and smaller until it disappears. As you continue to expand out with the outer circle,
the inner circle disappears.
A: But where does it disappear to?
Q: (J) A black hole?
A: A black hole. Well, that's a possibility. But, we really didn't want you to concentrate so heavily on the smaller circle, now did we? It's the outer circle.
Q: (T) The outer circle is used to encompass more and more.
A: And what shape does it begin to take on? I want you to look at this outer circle expanding outward!
Q: (J) Are we to assume that the seven spokes remain the same size in relation to the circle?
A: Well, answer that question for yourself.
Q: (L) Okay, we are looking at it as a plane representation. As a flat surface.
A: Well, what happens to a flat surface if you extend it outward forever?
Q: (L) Well, we don't know. That, that... (SV) It keeps on going.
A: It keeps on going?
Q: (L) Yeah, bigger and flatter!
A: It does? What happens to a line if you extend it forever and ever?
Q: (Laura and S***) It keeps on going.
A: It does?
Q: (L) Um hmmm!
A: Where does it go to?
Q: (SV) Forever. (J) Back to itself. (L) We don't know that.
A: Oh, someone said "Back to itself."

So we can imagine a 'forever expanding' circle that returns back to 'itself', sort of like a 'torus' or a doughnut. There are 7 densities in our creation. Those who believe in the 'Big Bang' would imagine it took place in the 6th Density at the 'beginning' of the 'octave'*

*This 'statement' is subject to change upon better understanding/knowledge and awareness.

From Session: 961221

Q: (L) Well, you once said that it was necessary to be on a planet that had a star that was getting ready to go supernova in order to molecularize physical
bodies. What I want to know is: what is this process whereby thought becomes manifest as matter?
A: This is too complicated for this medium. You need another method. Something that allows for greater word usage.
Q: (L) But, just a clue: how does thought become matter?
A: Bilaterally.
Q: (L) What do you mean by "bilaterally?"
A: Dual emergence.
Q: (L) Emergence into what and what?
A: Not "into what and what," but rather, "from what and to what."
Q: (L) What emerges from what?
A: The beginning emerges from the end, and vice versa.
Q: (L) And what is the beginning and what is the end?
A: Union with the One.
Q: (L) What is the One?
A: 7th density, i.e.: all that is, and is not.

Q: (L) Now, we have managed to dance around the whole thing, and I still do not know how matter comes to be or how time...
A: No.
Q: (L) How can I get where I want to go?
A: You have the basics.
Q: (L) Can you give me a couple more basics?
A: There are no more.
Q: (L) I once asked you if time was gravity?
A: Is a fence the ground?
Q: (L) Is gravity God?
A: No.
Q: (L) Is gravity 7th density?
A: No.
Q: (L) Where does gravity emanate from?
A: Thought center.
Q: (L) You have mentioned thought centers of many occasions. Is there more than one?
A: All are one and all.
Q: (L) If you have a thought center, how do thought centers related to 7th density, the One?
A: Exactly!
Q: (L) Are thought centers 7th density?
A: All is.
Q: (L) All is thought centers?
A: No. All is 7th density.

The 'beginning and the end' concept sounds confusing but i will try to explain. They say the 'beginning emerges from the end and vice versa' what this really means is that 'there is no beginning nor an end', 'IT ALL IS'. This 'illusional' 'beginning' and 'end' is 'Union with the One' i.e. 7th density. They also said: 'All is 7th Density', which makes sense since 'All is God' so to speak. So imagine a 'circle within a circle' and so on, imagine this like a 'Sphere'.

From Session: 950617

A: Hmmm. That's not the way we remember it. The way we remember it is that he had instinct and imagination and when he married his instinct with
imagination, it became reality. And, when it became reality, he had created a reality which he was fully confident would be manifest in the physical third density
reality. It wasn't that he was confident. He knew it to be so. He didn't stop himself by adding prejudice to the equation which is what you are doing when you
say: "Well, we don't know what happens because we have never been there!" Think logically, please. We have told you so many times that everything is a
grand cycle. If it's a grand cycle, we have told you about circles within circles. We have told you about cycles. We have told you about short wave cycles and
long wave cycles.
Now, after all this information that you have asked of us, which we have more than happily given to you, would you expect that a straight
line would just go out forever and ever and ever as a straight line? How could it possibly do that? What happens, [(J) remark lost.] if you take, on you third density
earth, and you draw a straight line to the East or to the West [(J) remark lost] or to the North or to the South...
Q: (J) It comes all the way back to itself.

A: Right...
Q: (L) Okay, so we're living in a big globe!
A: Are we?

Q: (L) Well, that is what it sounds like, a big circle?
A: Oh, my, my, my. You need more study and learning, my dear. Need more study. Even your Albert Einstein had a theory about what happened.
Q: (L) Yes, but that was just a theory.
A: Oh, well I guess then... [(J) Not to him.] I guess then it must be dropped. We'll never know. It's just a theory. Well, we'll just forget about it.
Q: (T) I'm still expanding the circle... (SV) Me too.
A: Very good, that was the idea. It keeps going and going and going.
Q: (L) Well, mine does too, but it hasn't come back and met anything. So, what's the point?
A: Does there need to be a point?
Q: (L) Of course!
A: Who says? We are trying to help you learn. When do you expect to shut down this process?
Q: (J) Never. (L) Gee, I hope never.
A: Then there never is a point!
Q: (J) Point taken! (L) There is no point. [Laughter.] Well, if you expand the circle outward and continue expanding it in all directions, it pulls the seven spokes
with it which encompasses more and more space in a cross section, and then turn that circle, you have a sphere.
A: Precisely. But Laura says that means we are living in a big globe. And, maybe we are.
Q: (T) Well, it wouldn't be a big globe, so to speak, it would only be a big globe within the circle. If the circle continues to expand, it would just continue to go
outward and outward and the globe would become bigger and bigger and bigger... (L) You're making me nervous... (T) But it goes outward forever... cause
there is no end to going out...
A: There isn't?
Q: (SV) Nope.
A: Well, then maybe there's no beginning.
Q: (T) Well, there wouldn't be a beginning, just a big, open void. An infinite void...
A: If there's no end and no beginning, then what do you have?
Q: (L) No point. (J) The here and now.
A: The here and now which is also the future and the past. Everything that was, is and will be, all at once.

The reason i highlighted: 'Well, we don't know what happens because we have never been there!', is intended as a 'joke', those who understand this 'joke' will enjoy
it. So we're talking about 'circles' and 'cycles' here, 'No Beginning, No End', essentially 'No Point' :D. Why is there 'No Point' ? Simply because 'All IS', 'All at Once' i.e.
'past', 'present/now' and the 'future' is all 'Simultaneous'. It is all 'Happening' in the 'Ever Eternal Now'.

There is another session in reference to the 'no beginning, no end' concept:

From Session: 970315

Q: (L) In the natural state, we know that a photon can have an interaction which causes it to split into positron and an electron. In the natural state, do electrons
come from photons?
A: No.
Q: Okay. In the natural state, where do electrons come from?
A: Aether boundary with material continuum.
Q: Where does the proton come from?
A: 7th density.
Q: So, a proton comes from seventh density, but the electron does not.
A: Not mutually exclusive.
Q: In a substance that conducts electricity, say an electrical wire, you have a circuit where, essentially, electrons get passed from atom to atom along this
pathway. And, yet, they don't run out, and they don't really get used, it is only the resistance that causes heat that causes the incandescence...
A: Gravity center of planet is also "window" to all other density levels and dimensional planes of existence, which is why electrically charged atoms "ground" in
order to pass on to other planes through gravity binder.
Q: Getting back to my question of the passing of electrons along a circuit: what force is it that initiates the passing of one electron to another atom that manifests
as electricity?
A: Electrical energy is merely "tapped," collected, trapped, then channeled.
Q: If it is tapped, where is it tapped from?
A: Collecting electrons.
Q: What is a collecting electron?
A: Not "a" collecting electron. It is collecting them.
Q: What is collecting the electrons?
A: The utilizers. Electrons are "free" energy.
Q: Okay, but where... I am thinking that in an electrical circuit, the electrons that are there, are the ones that are started with, the ones that are passed along,
and the ones that are still there when the circuit is broken and the passing of electrons stops. Am I wrong?
A: Yes.
Q: Okay... then...
A: There is no beginning or end.
Q: Then electricity is, in essence, a flow of electrons?
A: Yes.
Q: You say they are tapped. Where are they tapped from? What is the source of these free electrons?
A: All materials. All matter. All aether.

I would rather not comment on the above session as this is not my area of expertise but i can relate to how: 'There is no beginning or end'. More about the

'Sphere':

From Session: 950617

Does the sphere keep expanding... as the circle expands and you turn the circle 180 ', you get a sphere.
As the sphere continues to expand it, you take a point on the outer edge of the sphere in order to take the sphere about itself, you get a donut, an ever
expanding inner tube.
(L) With a black hole in the middle! (SV) Why does it have to be a black hole? (J) It's a spiral. (T) If you take that and twist it, you get
an even larger inner tube. It just continues to expand and encompasses more space...
A: And now, when you merge densities, or traverse densities, what you have is the merging of physical reality and ethereal reality, which involves thought form
versus physicality. When you can merge those perfectly, what you realize then, is that the reason there is no beginning and no end is merely because there is no
need for you to contemplate a beginning or an end after you have completed your development. When you are at union with the One at Seventh density, that is
when you have accomplished this and then there is no longer any need for difference between physical and ethereal forms.

Now what they are probably getting at is that there really is no such thing as 'Time' and that 'time' really is also the 'illusion':

From Session: 950617

Q: (L) The point is that you may say that you would like to get rid of time and you may understand it conceptually, but something internal keeps you tied to it.
How do you get rid of that internal connection?
A: Something internal keeps you tied to it?
Q: (J) Like circadian rhythms, its physical.
A: We feel you are missing the point.

Q: (L) Well, maybe I am.
A: You see, we speak to all of you when we say this. It's now time for you, as individuals, to try to move away, as much as possible, not to force yourselves, of

course, but to try and move away at your own pace as much as possible, from the constraints of third density. You have all learned lessons to the level where
you are more than ready to begin to prepare for fourth density. Third density involves a level of physicality and restriction and restraint and all of the things that
go along with those, that you no longer need. So, therefore, even though we understand that at times it may feel comfortable to cling to this, there is time for
you, and there is that word again, it is time for you to consider moving ahead and get ready for fourth density and not to be concerned with such things as time or
how to free yourself from the illusion of time. That really is not important. That's like the third grade student delving into mathematics and stopping everything to
go back and contemplate the ABC's and why it isn't CBA or BAC
*. There really is no point. It is what it is. They are what they are.
Q: (L) That is what I want to know, what is it?
A: Why do you need to know this?
Q: (L) Because I am curious. What is time?
A: We have already told you that it is a non-existent, artificial creation of illusion for the point of learning at the level where you are at or were, and once you
have left that level, you no longer need it.

Q: (T) Maybe one of the lessons is to learn not to worry about time. Once you learn that time is not real... (SV) Tell that to your boss!
A: If something is not real, is there any concern in worrying about what it is?
Q: (T) Not, for me.
A: Imagine a conversation between two people: Billy and Gene. Billy says to Gene, "There is no such thing as time." Gene says, "Oh, really? But I want to
know what it is." Billy says, "But I just told you there is no such thing. Time does not exist. It is not real in any form, in any frame of reference, in any form of
reality, any level of density. It simply does not exist." And, Gene says: "Oh, that's interesting. Now, again, what is this time?"
Q: (L) Point taken. (T) Do you wear a watch? (L) No. (SV) I have to because of my schedule. (T) But, you wear the watch because other people believe in
time? (SV) Yes. (T) And that is out of courtesy for their belief, not your belief.
A: That is precisely correct. While you are still in this third density it is still necessary for you to conform, to a certain extent, to the ways of others who are
more comfortable within the realm of third density. But, as we have stated previously, perhaps it is "time" for you to begin preparing for fourth density and not
concern yourself any more than is absolutely necessary with all the where's and why's and what for's of third density reality. This truly is behind you, now, and
we know that because we can see from all levels six through one and back again in full cycle.
Q: (L) Going along with that statement, and this is going to have to be the last question; preparing for fourth density: not too long ago I asked a question about
the purpose of this group and the answer was that if we knew, or, more specifically if I knew, I would become "unglued." Was that meant literally?
A: Oh, yes certainly. Every single bone in your body is going to unglue itself from every other.
Q: (J) You are going to turn into a puddle. (L) Well, since you are saying that it is time for us to begin preparing for fourth density, maybe it is time to deal with
that question?
A: Well, perhaps you are trying to steer us, now. This is amusing because, of course, you sought our help, now I guess you are going to put us in your place
and vice versa. But, actually, in a way, that is what is already happening, because, again, we must remind, that we are you in the future and we have already
experienced all that you are experiencing.
And, of course, we are experiencing as it is always being experienced. But, it is important to note that you have been
making progress despite our occasional chidings, and we are very proud of the progress you have been making. Also, we want to remind you again not to
worry about the extent of the progress or the direction it is taking. Just let it happen. All knowledge that it is absolutely necessary for you to gain to sustain this
progress will be gained at the appropriate point in ... [chorus] TIME. Therefore, not to worry as it will all fall into place, as we have told you. Now, we do not
feel that you are ready, as yet, to know what your ultimate purpose is, nor is it necessary for you to know, and it certainly would not be helpful in any way, so
we ask again that you please not worry about that because when the "time" comes for you to know, you will.
Q: (SV) I want to ask one question: If there is no time, there is no past and no future; there are no past lives and no future lives, there is no such thing as
reincarnation, then how can you be us...
A: Yes, there is reincarnation. You are getting ahead of yourself there. We never said there is no reincarnation.
Q: (SV) But, if there is no time? (J) It is our perception of it. (L) It is all happening simultaneously. We are having all of these lifetimes at once. (SV) Is there a
way that we can connect ourselves with all our other selves?
A: Picture it this way: we will access some of your memory banks and give you another reference which, interestingly enough, fits very closely with the
perpendicular reality wheel that we described earlier. You know what a slide projector looks like? To give you some feeling of what this expanded nature of
reality really is, picture yourself watching a big slide presentation with a big slide wheel on the projector. At any given point along the way you are watching one
particular slide. But, all the rest of the slides are present on the wheel, are they not? And, of course, this fits in with the perpendicular reality, which fits in with
the circles within circles and cycles within cycles, which also fits in the Grand Cycle, which also fits in with what we have told you before: All there is is lessons.
That's all there is... [(J) I have a comment...] ...and we ask that you enjoy them as you are watching the slide presentation...
Q: (J) In that analogy, the light that shines through the slide, as it projects it upon the screen, is our perception.
A: And, if you look back at the center of the projector, you see the origin and essence of all creation itself, which, is level seven where you are in union with the
One.

*I laughted out loud at this comment!
'Time' clearly is an 'illusion' since 'everything' is 'happening' in the 'ever eternal NOW', 'simultaneously'. And i like that example by the C's of a 'movie projector', how

when you 'look back at the center of the projector, you see the origin and essence of all creation itself'.

Let me add one more quote by the C's:

From Session: 950507

Q: (L) Okay, now I was reading through the transcripts a while ago and it says that a Black Hole is total non- existence which is regenerated at level one. Or,
that the regeneration at level one is a reflection of a Black Hole. Is a Black Hole a level one phenomenon or a level seven phenomenon?
A: One through four only.
Q: (L) Is there any representation of the Black Hole phenomenon, that is, total non-existence, at the higher levels, that is, five through seven?
A: See previous answer.
Q: (T) Well, if the Black Hole is pure STS at level one through four, at level five through seven there is only pure STO. (SV) They said earlier that there was
STS at level five and six. (T) But, that's reflection. (L) Thought form.
A: Encapsulated at five.
Q: (L) Is there, after level seven, is there another...
A: No "after seven," suggest "refresher course" of transcripts!
Q: (L) Well, the question you didn't let me finish was, is there an octave, does this step up and start the whole thing over like the octaves on a piano?
A: SPA. abbreviated for 'see previous answer'
Q: (L) Well, there is an awful lot of stuff being touted around about octaves and so forth.
A: Grand cycle, and who is doing the "touting" that you speak of?
Q: (L) One of the persons who talks of the octave cycle is Gurdjieff, the Sufi teachings, several of the great philosophical teachings talk about the octave effect.
There is the cycle of seven and the next cycle is at a higher level and is called an octave like the segments on the musical scale.
A: Who are we?
Q: (L) The Cassiopaeans.
A: Yes, now, we have volunteered to assist you in your development, yes?
Q: (L) So, throw all that other crap out the window?
A: If there were a level eight, do you think we would have failed to mention it at this point?!?

So clearly there is no such thing as '8th density' or to represent 'octave' as '8th density'. There is no other 'significant' mention of the term 'octave' in the Cassiopaean

Transcripts between 1994-2002.

Here is a quote from the 'Ra Material':

The Law of One, Book I, Session 13
January 29, 1981
Page: 106 of 817 (the ebook that i have)

Questioner: Was the galaxy that we are in created by the infinite intelligence or was it created by a
portion of the infinite intelligence?
Ra: I am Ra. The galaxy and all other things of material of which you are aware are products of
individualized portions of intelligent infinity. As each exploration began, it, in turn, found its focus and
became co-Creator. Using intelligent infinity each portion created an universe and allowing the rhythms
of free choice to flow, playing with the infinite spectrum of possibilities, each individualized portion
channeled the love/light into what you might call intelligent energy, thus creating the so-called Natural
Laws of any particular universe.
Each universe, in turn, individualized to a focus becoming, in turn, co-Creator and allowing further
diversity, thus creating further intelligent energies regularizing or causing Natural Laws to appear in the
vibrational patterns of what you would call a solar system. Thus, each solar system has its own, shall we
say, local coordinate system of illusory Natural Laws. It shall be understood that any portion, no matter
how small, of any density or illusory pattern contains, as in an holographic picture, the one Creator
which is infinity. Thus all begins and ends in mystery.

Clearly 'One is All and All is One', or like the 3 musketeers used to say: 'All for One, One for All' :D, 'One is Infinity', also:

The Law of One, Book I, Session 16
January 31, 1981
Page: 127 of 817 (the ebook that i have)

Questioner: Can you give me some kind of history of your social memory complex and how you
became aware of the Law of One?
Ra: I am Ra. The path of our learning is graven in the present moment. There is no history, as we
understand your concept. Picture, if you will, a circle of being. We know the alpha and omega as infinite
intelligence. The circle never ceases. It is present. The densities we have traversed at various points in
the circle correspond to the characteristics of cycles: first, the cycle of awareness; second, the cycle of
growth; third, the cycle of self-awareness; fourth, the cycle of love or understanding; fifth, the cycle of
light or wisdom; sixth, the cycle of light/love, love/light or unity; seventh, the gateway cycle; eighth, the
octave
which moves into a mystery we do not plumb.

Now you're probably thinking the C's specifically told us 'there is no such thing as '8th density' so whats goin on here ? I will talk about this mystery later on
in this article. Continue reading:

The Law of One, Book I, Session 6
January 24, 1981
Page: 51 of 817 (the ebook that i have)

Questioner: Where is this Council located?
Ra: I am Ra. This Council is located in the octave, or eighth dimension, of the planet Saturn, taking its
place in an area which you understand in third-dimension terms as the rings.

Here Ra describes the 'octave' as 'eighth dimension' not '8th density', and continue reading:

The Law of One, Book I, Session 11
January 28, 1981
Page 88 of 817 (the ebook that i have)

Questioner: Is there anyone in our history who is commonly known who went to a fourth-density selfservice
or negative type of planet or any who will go there?
Ra: I am Ra. The number of entities thus harvested is small. However, a few have penetrated the eighth
level which is only available from the opening up of the seventh through the sixth. Penetration into the
eighth or intelligent infinity level allows a mind/body/spirit complex to be harvested if it wishes at any
time/space during the cycle.

Is the above a reference to the 'octave' again ? Continue reading:

The Law of One, Book I, Session 14
January 29, 1981
Page 116 of 817 (the ebook that i have)

Questioner: Where did the information come from that Edgar Cayce channeled?
Ra: I am Ra. We have explained before that the intelligent infinity is brought into intelligent energy
from eighth density or octave. The one sound vibratory complex called Edgar used this gateway to view
the present, which is not the continuum you experience but the potential social memory complex of this
planetary sphere. The term your peoples have used for this is the “Akashic Record” or the “Hall of
Records.” This is the last question which you may now ask.

Clearly Ra is contradicting what the Cassiopaeans said about '8th density' or is this a 'human typo' ? Perhaps Ra wished to address it as 'eighth dimension'.

Nevertheless its the 'octave' that is being talked about and what we have learned so far is that it's also known as 'intelligent infinity' i.e. 'God' or '7th density', 'Union

with the One'. Continue reading:

The Law of One, Book I, Session 16
January 31, 1981
Page 131 of 817 (the ebook that i have)

Questioner: Could you define the word density as we have been using it?
Ra: I am Ra. The term density is a, what you call, mathematical one. The closest analogy is that of
music, whereby after seven notes on your western type of scale, if you will, the eighth note begins a new
octave. Within your great octave of existence which we share with you, there are seven octaves or
densities
. Within each density there are seven sub-densities. Within each sub-density, are seven sub-subdensities.
Within each sub-sub-density, seven sub-sub-sub-densities and so on infinitely.

Now it makes sense, there are truly only 7 densities, Continue reading:

The Law of One, Book II, Session 28
February 22, 1981
Page 233 of 817 (the ebook that i have)

Questioner: I am assuming that there are eight densities created when this major galaxy was created. Is
this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is basically correct. However, it is well to perceive that the eighth density functions
also as the beginning density or first density
, in its latter stages, of the next octave of densities.

Questioner: Are you saying then that there are an infinite number of octaves of densities one through
eight?
Ra: I am Ra. We wish to establish that we are truly humble messengers of the Law of One. We can
speak to you of our experiences and our understandings and teach/learn in limited ways. However, we
cannot speak in firm knowledge of all the creations. We know only that they are infinite. We assume an
infinite number of octaves.

However, it has been impressed upon us by our own teachers that there is a mystery-clad unity of
creation in which all consciousness periodically coalesces and again begins. Thus we can only say we
assume an infinite progression though we understand it to be cyclical in nature and, as we have said,
clad in mystery.

'8th density' is '1st density' ? hmm... nonetheless my topic is about 7th density and the 'Octaves' really. We can understand that the 'octaves' are also 'infinite'. They
say they 'know they are infinite'. Again they bring up the 'mystery' which is really 'mysterious' to think about and i have a feeling im getting closer to the 'truth' behind this mystery. I was thinking about this 'mystery' before i decided to write this article while 'collecting facts'. Though i have reached some form of conclusion about

this 'mystery' i am going to wait till the end of this article before i 'reveal' it. So it can be said that as i am writing this 'article', I am also 'learning' in the process.

Another quote by Ra which should give an idea to the 'enlightened' ones what this 'mystery' is about:

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 81
March 22, 1982
Page 607 of 817 (the ebook that i have)

Questioner: Why does Ra not have any knowledge of that which was prior to the beginning of this
octave?
Ra: I am Ra. Let us compare octaves to islands. It may be that the inhabitants of an island are not alone
upon a planetary sphere, but if an ocean-going vehicle in which one may survive has not been invented,
true knowledge of other islands is possible only if an entity comes among the islanders and says, “I am
from elsewhere.” This is a rough analogy. However, we have evidence of this sort, both of previous
creation and creation to be
, as we in the stream of space/time and time/space view these apparently nonsimultaneous
events.

So a 'being' of 6th Density has some 'idea' what the 'previous' and 'next' 'cycle' or 'octave' is going to be like ? hmm, continue reading:

The Law of One, Book I, Session 16
January 31, 1981
Page 127-128 of 817 (the ebook that i have)

Questioner: Thank you very much. In previous material, before we communicated with you, it was
stated by the Confederation that there is actually no past or future … that all is present. Would this be a
good analogy?
Ra: I am Ra. There is past, present, and future in third density. In an overview such as an entity may
have, removed from the space/time continuum, it may be seen that in the cycle of completion there
exists only the present. We, ourselves, seek to learn this understanding. At the seventh level or
dimension, we shall, if our humble efforts are sufficient, become one with all, thus having no memory,
no identity, no past or future, but existing in the all
.
Questioner: Does this mean that you would have awareness of all that is?
Ra: I am Ra. This is partially correct. It is our understanding that it would not be our awareness, but
simply awareness of the Creator. In the Creator is all that there is. Therefore, this knowledge would be
available.

Some people get confused here thinking 'woah' once i reach the 'top', i'll 'forget myself' and have to 'start' all over 'again', 'big bang' or whatever but if you read
closely as to what they are trying to say, it becomes clear that its only 'Your identity' or 'individualness' that is truly 'lost', you become 'one' with 'everything', thereby
having knowledge of 'all there is to know'. Furthermore you are already becoming 'one' gradually after 4th density and onwards. Refer to 'social/memory/complex'
in 4th density, 'unified thought forms' of 6th density etc.

A vital and most important 'clue' given by the Cassiopaeans, i wonder how many people 'remember' and 'truly understand' this one:

From Session: 960203

Q: (L) Okay, now, there are a lot of current teachings that say that the 'dregs' of other planets are being sent to Earth to 'refine' them, so to speak, and that this
is why the human race is so divided and antagonistic... that the interactions are supposed to result in annihilation of the weak and survival of the strong in both
physical and spiritual terms.
A: First of all, confusion abounds here due to incorrect interpretations of the last subject discussed. Dimensions are not densities!!!! Dimensions are strictly the
result of the universal consciousness as manifested in the imagination sector of thought. Density means level of development as measured in terms of closeness
to union with the one... Cycle. So, obviously, the "chupacabras" is a manifestation of human consciousness, and, human beings are a manifestation of the
Chupacabras consciousness. Get it? Now, a shocker for you: You would not exist if someone didn't "dream you up."
Q: (L) Who dreamed me up?
A: Not important just yet. You literally are the "figments" of someone's imagination, and nothing more!!!
Q: (L) You mean God dreams and brings us into existence?
A: Remember, "God" is really all existence in creation, in other words, all consciousness. This is because all existence in creation is consciousness, and vice
versa.

Well, i'll 'save' the 'figment of someone's imagination' part for later, this is the most important 'clue' to understand the 'creator/god/you/me/everything'. And since

'God' is really 'all existence in creation', 'all is 7th density' or 'All is God'.

So what have we 'learned' so far ? That 'God' is 'One' and 'Infinite', that 'time' is an 'illusion'. Creation spans/is 7 densities, and all is 'happening now'.

What you are about to read now is based on my understanding of 'all that is' and is subject to change at any moment. Nothing is 'written in stone'.

So 'God' 'thought' of this 'octave', 'scripted it', threw in 'free will' which makes the 'outcomes' non-deterministic at some level which makes it 'fun'. If you 'know' the
outcome of your 'movie', do you think you'll still have 'fun' or 'enjoy it' ?

I imagine the so called 'big bang' happened at 6th density by the 'Co-Creators'. They 'created' everything down to 1st density with infinite probabilites. Infinite
'outcomes' and infinite 'dimensions'. They modified it to create 'balance' all the time, this was done by 4th thru 6th density STO. This 'big bang' never 'happened' in
the 'literal/linear' term in 6th density downwards. Its like saying: 6d beings 'activated' the 'game' which not only 'started creating', 'is being created/added
to/upgrade/updated' and 'finished creating'.

Since all is 'happening now' in the 'infinite probabilities' of 'choice and action', 7th density is more or less 'One Being' with 'Infinite Thoughts' represented as
'Octaves' of 'Creation'
and the 'Creation' is also the 'Created', since its all 'NOW'

And what are 'Thoughts' anyways ? Read please:

From Session: 950111

Q: (L) What is the correct concept?
A: All is just lessons.
Q: (L) Whose thoughts are they?
A: Thoughts unify all reality in existence and are all shared.
Q: (S) You travel on a wave of energy created by all thought forms?
A: Thought forms are all that exists!

From Session: 960609

Q: (L) You say that you are unified thought forms in the realm of knowledge.
A: Yes.

'God' is 'One', 'One' is 'All/Infinite'. 'All' is but a mere 'Thought', 'Infinite Thoughts'.

So has anyone figured out the 'mystery' now ? Here it goes:

This 'Octave' is not the only creation 'happening' in the Creator's Mind, 'Infinite Octaves/Thoughts' representing 'Infinite Creations' is 'happening' in 7th density.

Meaning, you could understand that the 'universe' is 'infinite' from 1st to 6th density, but that is not 'All'. 7th density is 'One' big 'never ending orgasm' so
to speak. When you reach 7, look at all the other 7s and when you want to, the 7 of em will join you, to create a new 7, in this incredible!; 7 heaven

'Multi-tasking' is 'FUN' isnt it ?

0% Chance 'YOU' can be bored!
 
Hi Altamash,

I can only think in a sufi aphorism:


There are those who die of ignorance
There are those who die of knowledge
We must die before we die.
Those who do not die before dying,
Rots when die
 
[quote author=altamash]
This topic is about the Creator and the 'mystery' of 'Octaves'. It is going to be 'huge' so please bear with me and i promise it will be worthwhile.

We have called the 'Creator' by many names, 'The One', 'The Infinite', 'The All-ness of All' and the most common: 'God'. The creator is not 'outside' of ourselves as

monotheistic religions claim. Everything in 'creation' is a 'holographic' representation of the same 'force' or 'essence' of the creator. Picture 'god' as an ocean, and a

drop of water to be 'you'. If you pour that 'drop' of water into the ocean, where does the drop of water 'begin' and where does it 'end'. Does it not essentially become

'one and the same thing'? [/quote]


This is what most "new age" people fixate on, they talk about human beings on 3D earth as being like 7D or God. This may be true in an absolute sense, but it is not true for us here. Our job here, as I understand it, is not to try to be like "god" but rather to learn the lessons of this density and proceed onward to the next level of evolution.

[quote author=altamash]
It is said that 'god' does not perceive 'time' and that 'IT' exists in a 'still' state of 'time'. Creator exists on the 7th Density as the 'Cassiopaeans' and 'Ra' have clearly mentioned on various occasions. I imagine the 'Infinite Creator' to be a 'Sphere', an 'illusional sphere'. Since all and everything is an 'illusion' in the 'infinite' mind/thoughts of the Creator.[/quote]

Altamash, imagining the creator to be an "illusional sphere" is all well and good, but what good does it do you, and more to the point, what good does it do anyone else on this forum?

[quote author=altamash]
From Session: 950617

Q: (L) An eye.
A: Now we are starting to turn it into a sphere! Why would it turn into a sphere?
Q: (L) How can it turn into a sphere?
A: How can it not!
Q: (SV) It is going in ALL directions, not just flat...
A: Is a straight line a straight line or a...
Q: (L) Oh, you're not talking about a circle?
A: We are talking about a circle. What becomes of a circle if you expand it outward forever?
Q: (J) It disappears.
A: It disappears? How can it disappear? Where does it disappear to? We ask you that, JR? JR?
Q: (J) Visually, as the outer circle expands, the inner circle becomes smaller and smaller until it disappears. As you continue to expand out with the outer circle,
the inner circle disappears.
A: But where does it disappear to?
Q: (J) A black hole?
A: A black hole. Well, that's a possibility. But, we really didn't want you to concentrate so heavily on the smaller circle, now did we? It's the outer circle.
Q: (T) The outer circle is used to encompass more and more.
A: And what shape does it begin to take on? I want you to look at this outer circle expanding outward!
Q: (J) Are we to assume that the seven spokes remain the same size in relation to the circle?
A: Well, answer that question for yourself.
Q: (L) Okay, we are looking at it as a plane representation. As a flat surface.
A: Well, what happens to a flat surface if you extend it outward forever?
Q: (L) Well, we don't know. That, that... (SV) It keeps on going.
A: It keeps on going?
Q: (L) Yeah, bigger and flatter!
A: It does? What happens to a line if you extend it forever and ever?
Q: (Laura and S***) It keeps on going.
A: It does?
Q: (L) Um hmmm!
A: Where does it go to?
Q: (SV) Forever. (J) Back to itself. (L) We don't know that.
A: Oh, someone said "Back to itself."


So we can imagine a 'forever expanding' circle that returns back to 'itself', sort of like a 'torus' or a doughnut. There are 7 densities in our creation. Those who believe in the 'Big Bang' would imagine it took place in the 6th Density at the 'beginning' of the 'octave'*

*This 'statement' is subject to change upon better understanding/knowledge and awareness.
[/quote]

altamarsh, the above quote that you excerpted was about" perpendicular realities".

Here's the start of it:

Q: (T) Several sessions back when we were discussing

"Perpendicular Realities" you were talking about something that

happened to me and that I had to look

back over my life and analyze my relationships with other people

from a certain point up until now and you said that this was a

perpendicular reality. What is the

definition of a perpendicular reality?

A: The perpendicular reality primarily, though not exclusively, refers

to one's life path and how one's life path fits together in the cycle or

in a wheel when connected with those of a similar life path.

It is not really helpful for you to take quotes out of context like this to "back up" your own ideas that you yourself are not even convinced of. Please consider that you are posting as much for other readers as yourself. We have a goal here of trying to keep the "signal to noise" ratio high. i.e. less meandering thoughts and more data that can be backed up with as many objective facts as possible.

[quote author=altamash]
From Session: 961221

Q: (L) Well, you once said that it was necessary to be on a planet that had a star that was getting ready to go supernova in order to molecularize physical
bodies. What I want to know is: what is this process whereby thought becomes manifest as matter?
A: This is too complicated for this medium. You need another method. Something that allows for greater word usage.
Q: (L) But, just a clue: how does thought become matter?
A: Bilaterally.
Q: (L) What do you mean by "bilaterally?"
A: Dual emergence.
Q: (L) Emergence into what and what?
A: Not "into what and what," but rather, "from what and to what."
Q: (L) What emerges from what?
A: The beginning emerges from the end, and vice versa.
Q: (L) And what is the beginning and what is the end?
A: Union with the One.
Q: (L) What is the One?
A: 7th density, i.e.: all that is, and is not.

Q: (L) Now, we have managed to dance around the whole thing, and I still do not know how matter comes to be or how time...
A: No.
Q: (L) How can I get where I want to go?
A: You have the basics.
Q: (L) Can you give me a couple more basics?
A: There are no more.
Q: (L) I once asked you if time was gravity?
A: Is a fence the ground?
Q: (L) Is gravity God?
A: No.
Q: (L) Is gravity 7th density?
A: No.
Q: (L) Where does gravity emanate from?
A: Thought center.
Q: (L) You have mentioned thought centers of many occasions. Is there more than one?
A: All are one and all.
Q: (L) If you have a thought center, how do thought centers related to 7th density, the One?
A: Exactly!
Q: (L) Are thought centers 7th density?
A: All is.
Q: (L) All is thought centers?
A: No. All is 7th density.


The 'beginning and the end' concept sounds confusing but i will try to explain. They say the 'beginning emerges from the end and vice versa' what this really means is that 'there is no beginning nor an end', 'IT ALL IS'. This 'illusional' 'beginning' and 'end' is 'Union with the One' i.e. 7th density. They also said: 'All is 7th Density', which makes sense since 'All is God' so to speak. So imagine a 'circle within a circle' and so on, imagine this like a 'Sphere'.
[/quote]

That's pretty clear from the transcript. I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve here. Can you explain?


[quote author=altamash]
From Session: 950617

A: Hmmm. That's not the way we remember it. The way we remember it is that he had instinct and imagination and when he married his instinct with
imagination, it became reality. And, when it became reality, he had created a reality which he was fully confident would be manifest in the physical third density
reality. It wasn't that he was confident. He knew it to be so. He didn't stop himself by adding prejudice to the equation which is what you are doing when you
say: "Well, we don't know what happens because we have never been there!" Think logically, please. We have told you so many times that everything is a
grand cycle. If it's a grand cycle, we have told you about circles within circles. We have told you about cycles. We have told you about short wave cycles and
long wave cycles.
Now, after all this information that you have asked of us, which we have more than happily given to you, would you expect that a straight
line would just go out forever and ever and ever as a straight line? How could it possibly do that? What happens, [(J) remark lost.] if you take, on you third density
earth, and you draw a straight line to the East or to the West [(J) remark lost] or to the North or to the South...

Q: (J) It comes all the way back to itself.
A: Right...
Q: (L) Okay, so we're living in a big globe!
A: Are we?

Q: (L) Well, that is what it sounds like, a big circle?
A: Oh, my, my, my. You need more study and learning, my dear. Need more study. Even your Albert Einstein had a theory about what happened.
Q: (L) Yes, but that was just a theory.
A: Oh, well I guess then... [(J) Not to him.] I guess then it must be dropped. We'll never know. It's just a theory. Well, we'll just forget about it.
Q: (T) I'm still expanding the circle... (SV) Me too.
A: Very good, that was the idea. It keeps going and going and going.
Q: (L) Well, mine does too, but it hasn't come back and met anything. So, what's the point?
A: Does there need to be a point?
Q: (L) Of course!
A: Who says? We are trying to help you learn. When do you expect to shut down this process?
Q: (J) Never. (L) Gee, I hope never.
A: Then there never is a point!
Q: (J) Point taken! (L) There is no point. [Laughter.] Well, if you expand the circle outward and continue expanding it in all directions, it pulls the seven spokes
with it which encompasses more and more space in a cross section, and then turn that circle, you have a sphere.
A: Precisely. But Laura says that means we are living in a big globe. And, maybe we are.
Q: (T) Well, it wouldn't be a big globe, so to speak, it would only be a big globe within the circle. If the circle continues to expand, it would just continue to go
outward and outward and the globe would become bigger and bigger and bigger... (L) You're making me nervous... (T) But it goes outward forever... cause
there is no end to going out...
A: There isn't?
Q: (SV) Nope.
A: Well, then maybe there's no beginning.
Q: (T) Well, there wouldn't be a beginning, just a big, open void. An infinite void...
A: If there's no end and no beginning, then what do you have?
Q: (L) No point. (J) The here and now.
A: The here and now which is also the future and the past. Everything that was, is and will be, all at once.



The reason i highlighted: 'Well, we don't know what happens because we have never been there!', is intended as a 'joke', those who understand this 'joke' will enjoy it. So we're talking about 'circles' and 'cycles' here, 'No Beginning, No End', essentially 'No Point' :D. Why is there 'No Point' ? Simply because 'All IS', 'All at Once' i.e. 'past', 'present/now' and the 'future' is all 'Simultaneous'. It is all 'Happening' in the 'Ever Eternal Now'.

There is another session in reference to the 'no beginning, no end' concept:

From Session: 970315

Q: (L) In the natural state, we know that a photon can have an interaction which causes it to split into positron and an electron. In the natural state, do electrons
come from photons?
A: No.
Q: Okay. In the natural state, where do electrons come from?
A: Aether boundary with material continuum.
Q: Where does the proton come from?
A: 7th density.
Q: So, a proton comes from seventh density, but the electron does not.
A: Not mutually exclusive.
Q: In a substance that conducts electricity, say an electrical wire, you have a circuit where, essentially, electrons get passed from atom to atom along this
pathway. And, yet, they don't run out, and they don't really get used, it is only the resistance that causes heat that causes the incandescence...
A: Gravity center of planet is also "window" to all other density levels and dimensional planes of existence, which is why electrically charged atoms "ground" in
order to pass on to other planes through gravity binder.
Q: Getting back to my question of the passing of electrons along a circuit: what force is it that initiates the passing of one electron to another atom that manifests
as electricity?
A: Electrical energy is merely "tapped," collected, trapped, then channeled.
Q: If it is tapped, where is it tapped from?
A: Collecting electrons.
Q: What is a collecting electron?
A: Not "a" collecting electron. It is collecting them.
Q: What is collecting the electrons?
A: The utilizers. Electrons are "free" energy.
Q: Okay, but where... I am thinking that in an electrical circuit, the electrons that are there, are the ones that are started with, the ones that are passed along,
and the ones that are still there when the circuit is broken and the passing of electrons stops. Am I wrong?
A: Yes.
Q: Okay... then...
A: There is no beginning or end.
Q: Then electricity is, in essence, a flow of electrons?
A: Yes.
Q: You say they are tapped. Where are they tapped from? What is the source of these free electrons?
A: All materials. All matter. All aether.


I would rather not comment on the above session as this is not my area of expertise but i can relate to how: 'There is no beginning or end'. More about the 'Sphere':

From Session: 950617

Does the sphere keep expanding... as the circle expands and you turn the circle 180 ', you get a sphere.
As the sphere continues to expand it, you take a point on the outer edge of the sphere in order to take the sphere about itself, you get a donut, an ever
expanding inner tube.
(L) With a black hole in the middle! (SV) Why does it have to be a black hole? (J) It's a spiral. (T) If you take that and twist it, you get
an even larger inner tube. It just continues to expand and encompasses more space...
A: And now, when you merge densities, or traverse densities, what you have is the merging of physical reality and ethereal reality, which involves thought form
versus physicality. When you can merge those perfectly, what you realize then, is that the reason there is no beginning and no end is merely because there is no
need for you to contemplate a beginning or an end after you have completed your development. When you are at union with the One at Seventh density, that is
when you have accomplished this and then there is no longer any need for difference between physical and ethereal forms.


Now what they are probably getting at is that there really is no such thing as 'Time' and that 'time' really is also the 'illusion':

[/quote]

altamash, this is all patently obvious from the transcripts. There really isn't any need for you to state the obvious like this.

[quote author=altamash]

From Session: 950617

Q: (L) The point is that you may say that you would like to get rid of time and you may understand it conceptually, but something internal keeps you tied to it.
How do you get rid of that internal connection?
A: Something internal keeps you tied to it?
Q: (J) Like circadian rhythms, its physical.
A: We feel you are missing the point.

Q: (L) Well, maybe I am.
A: You see, we speak to all of you when we say this. It's now time for you, as individuals, to try to move away, as much as possible, not to force yourselves, of
course, but to try and move away at your own pace as much as possible, from the constraints of third density. You have all learned lessons to the level where
you are more than ready to begin to prepare for fourth density. Third density involves a level of physicality and restriction and restraint and all of the things that
go along with those, that you no longer need. So, therefore, even though we understand that at times it may feel comfortable to cling to this, there is time for
you, and there is that word again, it is time for you to consider moving ahead and get ready for fourth density and not to be concerned with such things as time or
how to free yourself from the illusion of time. That really is not important. That's like the third grade student delving into mathematics and stopping everything to
go back and contemplate the ABC's and why it isn't CBA or BAC
*. There really is no point. It is what it is. They are what they are.

Q: (L) That is what I want to know, what is it?
A: Why do you need to know this?
Q: (L) Because I am curious. What is time?
A: We have already told you that it is a non-existent, artificial creation of illusion for the point of learning at the level where you are at or were, and once you
have left that level, you no longer need it.

Q: (T) Maybe one of the lessons is to learn not to worry about time. Once you learn that time is not real... (SV) Tell that to your boss!
A: If something is not real, is there any concern in worrying about what it is?
Q: (T) Not, for me.
A: Imagine a conversation between two people: Billy and Gene. Billy says to Gene, "There is no such thing as time." Gene says, "Oh, really? But I want to
know what it is." Billy says, "But I just told you there is no such thing. Time does not exist. It is not real in any form, in any frame of reference, in any form of
reality, any level of density. It simply does not exist." And, Gene says: "Oh, that's interesting. Now, again, what is this time?"
Q: (L) Point taken. (T) Do you wear a watch? (L) No. (SV) I have to because of my schedule. (T) But, you wear the watch because other people believe in
time? (SV) Yes. (T) And that is out of courtesy for their belief, not your belief.
A: That is precisely correct. While you are still in this third density it is still necessary for you to conform, to a certain extent, to the ways of others who are
more comfortable within the realm of third density. But, as we have stated previously, perhaps it is "time" for you to begin preparing for fourth density and not
concern yourself any more than is absolutely necessary with all the where's and why's and what for's of third density reality. This truly is behind you, now, and
we know that because we can see from all levels six through one and back again in full cycle.
Q: (L) Going along with that statement, and this is going to have to be the last question; preparing for fourth density: not too long ago I asked a question about
the purpose of this group and the answer was that if we knew, or, more specifically if I knew, I would become "unglued." Was that meant literally?
A: Oh, yes certainly. Every single bone in your body is going to unglue itself from every other.
Q: (J) You are going to turn into a puddle. (L) Well, since you are saying that it is time for us to begin preparing for fourth density, maybe it is time to deal with
that question?
A: Well, perhaps you are trying to steer us, now. This is amusing because, of course, you sought our help, now I guess you are going to put us in your place
and vice versa. But, actually, in a way, that is what is already happening, because, again, we must remind, that we are you in the future and we have already
experienced all that you are experiencing.
And, of course, we are experiencing as it is always being experienced. But, it is important to note that you have been
making progress despite our occasional chidings, and we are very proud of the progress you have been making. Also, we want to remind you again not to
worry about the extent of the progress or the direction it is taking. Just let it happen. All knowledge that it is absolutely necessary for you to gain to sustain this
progress will be gained at the appropriate point in ... [chorus] TIME. Therefore, not to worry as it will all fall into place, as we have told you. Now, we do not
feel that you are ready, as yet, to know what your ultimate purpose is, nor is it necessary for you to know, and it certainly would not be helpful in any way, so
we ask again that you please not worry about that because when the "time" comes for you to know, you will.
Q: (SV) I want to ask one question: If there is no time, there is no past and no future; there are no past lives and no future lives, there is no such thing as
reincarnation, then how can you be us...
A: Yes, there is reincarnation. You are getting ahead of yourself there. We never said there is no reincarnation.
Q: (SV) But, if there is no time? (J) It is our perception of it. (L) It is all happening simultaneously. We are having all of these lifetimes at once. (SV) Is there a
way that we can connect ourselves with all our other selves?
A: Picture it this way: we will access some of your memory banks and give you another reference which, interestingly enough, fits very closely with the
perpendicular reality wheel that we described earlier. You know what a slide projector looks like? To give you some feeling of what this expanded nature of
reality really is, picture yourself watching a big slide presentation with a big slide wheel on the projector. At any given point along the way you are watching one
particular slide. But, all the rest of the slides are present on the wheel, are they not? And, of course, this fits in with the perpendicular reality, which fits in with
the circles within circles and cycles within cycles, which also fits in the Grand Cycle, which also fits in with what we have told you before: All there is is lessons.
That's all there is... [(J) I have a comment...] ...and we ask that you enjoy them as you are watching the slide presentation...
Q: (J) In that analogy, the light that shines through the slide, as it projects it upon the screen, is our perception.
A: And, if you look back at the center of the projector, you see the origin and essence of all creation itself, which, is level seven where you are in union with the
One.


*I laughted out loud at this comment!
'Time' clearly is an 'illusion' since 'everything' is 'happening' in the 'ever eternal NOW', 'simultaneously'. And i like that example by the C's of a 'movie projector', how
when you 'look back at the center of the projector, you see the origin and essence of all creation itself'.

Let me add one more quote by the C's:

From Session: 950507

Q: (L) Okay, now I was reading through the transcripts a while ago and it says that a Black Hole is total non- existence which is regenerated at level one. Or,
that the regeneration at level one is a reflection of a Black Hole. Is a Black Hole a level one phenomenon or a level seven phenomenon?
A: One through four only.
Q: (L) Is there any representation of the Black Hole phenomenon, that is, total non-existence, at the higher levels, that is, five through seven?
A: See previous answer.
Q: (T) Well, if the Black Hole is pure STS at level one through four, at level five through seven there is only pure STO. (SV) They said earlier that there was
STS at level five and six. (T) But, that's reflection. (L) Thought form.
A: Encapsulated at five.
Q: (L) Is there, after level seven, is there another...
A: No "after seven," suggest "refresher course" of transcripts!
Q: (L) Well, the question you didn't let me finish was, is there an octave, does this step up and start the whole thing over like the octaves on a piano?
A: SPA. abbreviated for 'see previous answer'
Q: (L) Well, there is an awful lot of stuff being touted around about octaves and so forth.
A: Grand cycle, and who is doing the "touting" that you speak of?
Q: (L) One of the persons who talks of the octave cycle is Gurdjieff, the Sufi teachings, several of the great philosophical teachings talk about the octave effect.
There is the cycle of seven and the next cycle is at a higher level and is called an octave like the segments on the musical scale.
A: Who are we?
Q: (L) The Cassiopaeans.
A: Yes, now, we have volunteered to assist you in your development, yes?
Q: (L) So, throw all that other crap out the window?
A: If there were a level eight, do you think we would have failed to mention it at this point?!?

So clearly there is no such thing as '8th density' or to represent 'octave' as '8th density'. There is no other 'significant' mention of the term 'octave' in the Cassiopaean Transcripts between 1994-2002.

Here is a quote from the 'Ra Material':

The Law of One, Book I, Session 13
January 29, 1981
Page: 106 of 817 (the ebook that i have)

Questioner: Was the galaxy that we are in created by the infinite intelligence or was it created by a
portion of the infinite intelligence?
Ra: I am Ra. The galaxy and all other things of material of which you are aware are products of
individualized portions of intelligent infinity. As each exploration began, it, in turn, found its focus and
became co-Creator. Using intelligent infinity each portion created an universe and allowing the rhythms
of free choice to flow, playing with the infinite spectrum of possibilities, each individualized portion
channeled the love/light into what you might call intelligent energy, thus creating the so-called Natural
Laws of any particular universe.
Each universe, in turn, individualized to a focus becoming, in turn, co-Creator and allowing further
diversity, thus creating further intelligent energies regularizing or causing Natural Laws to appear in the
vibrational patterns of what you would call a solar system. Thus, each solar system has its own, shall we
say, local coordinate system of illusory Natural Laws. It shall be understood that any portion, no matter
how small, of any density or illusory pattern contains, as in an holographic picture, the one Creator
which is infinity. Thus all begins and ends in mystery.


Clearly 'One is All and All is One', or like the 3 musketeers used to say: 'All for One, One for All' :D, 'One is Infinity', also:

The Law of One, Book I, Session 16

Page: 127 of 817 (the ebook that i have)

Questioner: Can you give me some kind of history of your social memory complex and how you
became aware of the Law of One?
Ra: I am Ra. The path of our learning is graven in the present moment. There is no history, as we
understand your concept. Picture, if you will, a circle of being. We know the alpha and omega as infinite
intelligence. The circle never ceases. It is present. The densities we have traversed at various points in
the circle correspond to the characteristics of cycles: first, the cycle of awareness; second, the cycle of
growth; third, the cycle of self-awareness; fourth, the cycle of love or understanding; fifth, the cycle of
light or wisdom; sixth, the cycle of light/love, love/light or unity; seventh, the gateway cycle; eighth, the
octave
which moves into a mystery we do not plumb.

Now you're probably thinking the C's specifically told us 'there is no such thing as '8th density' so whats goin on here ? I will talk about this mystery later on in this article. Continue reading:

The Law of One, Book I, Session 6
January 24, 1981
Page: 51 of 817 (the ebook that i have)

Questioner: Where is this Council located?
Ra: I am Ra. This Council is located in the octave, or eighth dimension, of the planet Saturn, taking its
place in an area which you understand in third-dimension terms as the rings.

Here Ra describes the 'octave' as 'eighth dimension' not '8th density', and continue reading:

The Law of One, Book I, Session 11
January 28, 1981
Page 88 of 817 (the ebook that i have)

Questioner: Is there anyone in our history who is commonly known who went to a fourth-density selfservice
or negative type of planet or any who will go there?
Ra: I am Ra. The number of entities thus harvested is small. However, a few have penetrated the eighth
level which is only available from the opening up of the seventh through the sixth. Penetration into the
eighth or intelligent infinity level allows a mind/body/spirit complex to be harvested if it wishes at any
time/space during the cycle.


Is the above a reference to the 'octave' again ? Continue reading:

The Law of One, Book I, Session 14
January 29, 1981
Page 116 of 817 (the ebook that i have)

Questioner: Where did the information come from that Edgar Cayce channeled?
Ra: I am Ra. We have explained before that the intelligent infinity is brought into intelligent energy
from eighth density or octave. The one sound vibratory complex called Edgar used this gateway to view
the present, which is not the continuum you experience but the potential social memory complex of this
planetary sphere. The term your peoples have used for this is the “Akashic Record” or the “Hall of
Records.” This is the last question which you may now ask.

Clearly Ra is contradicting what the Cassiopaeans said about '8th density' or is this a 'human typo' ? Perhaps Ra wished to address it as 'eighth dimension'.

Nevertheless its the 'octave' that is being talked about and what we have learned so far is that it's also known as 'intelligent infinity' i.e. 'God' or '7th density', 'Union with the One'. Continue reading:

The Law of One, Book I, Session 16
January 31, 1981
Page 131 of 817 (the ebook that i have)

Questioner: Could you define the word density as we have been using it?
Ra: I am Ra. The term density is a, what you call, mathematical one. The closest analogy is that of
music, whereby after seven notes on your western type of scale, if you will, the eighth note begins a new
octave. Within your great octave of existence which we share with you, there are seven octaves or
densities
. Within each density there are seven sub-densities. Within each sub-density, are seven sub-subdensities.
Within each sub-sub-density, seven sub-sub-sub-densities and so on infinitely.

Now it makes sense, there are truly only 7 densities, Continue reading:

The Law of One, Book II, Session 28
February 22, 1981
Page 233 of 817 (the ebook that i have)

Questioner: I am assuming that there are eight densities created when this major galaxy was created. Is
this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is basically correct. However, it is well to perceive that the eighth density functions
also as the beginning density or first density
, in its latter stages, of the next octave of densities.

Questioner: Are you saying then that there are an infinite number of octaves of densities one through
eight?
Ra: I am Ra. We wish to establish that we are truly humble messengers of the Law of One. We can
speak to you of our experiences and our understandings and teach/learn in limited ways. However, we
cannot speak in firm knowledge of all the creations. We know only that they are infinite. We assume an
infinite number of octaves.

However, it has been impressed upon us by our own teachers that there is a mystery-clad unity of
creation in which all consciousness periodically coalesces and again begins. Thus we can only say we
assume an infinite progression though we understand it to be cyclical in nature and, as we have said,
clad in mystery.

'8th density' is '1st density' ? hmm... nonetheless my topic is about 7th density and the 'Octaves' really. We can understand that the 'octaves' are also 'infinite'. They

say they 'know they are infinite'. Again they bring up the 'mystery' which is really 'mysterious' to think about and i have a feeling im getting closer to the 'truth' behind

this mystery. I was thinking about this 'mystery' before i decided to write this article while 'collecting facts'. Though i have reached some form of conclusion about

this 'mystery' i am going to wait till the end of this article before i 'reveal' it. So it can be said that as i am writing this 'article', I am also 'learning' in the process.

Another quote by Ra which should give an idea to the 'enlightened' ones what this 'mystery' is about:

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 81
March 22, 1982
Page 607 of 817 (the ebook that i have)

Questioner: Why does Ra not have any knowledge of that which was prior to the beginning of this
octave?
Ra: I am Ra. Let us compare octaves to islands. It may be that the inhabitants of an island are not alone
upon a planetary sphere, but if an ocean-going vehicle in which one may survive has not been invented,
true knowledge of other islands is possible only if an entity comes among the islanders and says, “I am
from elsewhere.” This is a rough analogy. However, we have evidence of this sort, both of previous
creation and creation to be
, as we in the stream of space/time and time/space view these apparently nonsimultaneous
events.

So a 'being' of 6th Density has some 'idea' what the 'previous' and 'next' 'cycle' or 'octave' is going to be like ? hmm, continue reading:

The Law of One, Book I, Session 16
January 31, 1981
Page 127-128 of 817 (the ebook that i have)

Questioner: Thank you very much. In previous material, before we communicated with you, it was
stated by the Confederation that there is actually no past or future … that all is present. Would this be a
good analogy?
Ra: I am Ra. There is past, present, and future in third density. In an overview such as an entity may
have, removed from the space/time continuum, it may be seen that in the cycle of completion there
exists only the present. We, ourselves, seek to learn this understanding. At the seventh level or
dimension, we shall, if our humble efforts are sufficient, become one with all, thus having no memory,
no identity, no past or future, but existing in the all
.
Questioner: Does this mean that you would have awareness of all that is?
Ra: I am Ra. This is partially correct. It is our understanding that it would not be our awareness, but
simply awareness of the Creator. In the Creator is all that there is. Therefore, this knowledge would be
available.


Some people get confused here thinking 'woah' once i reach the 'top', i'll 'forget myself' and have to 'start' all over 'again', 'big bang' or whatever but if you read

closely as to what they are trying to say, it becomes clear that its only 'Your identity' or 'individualness' that is truly 'lost', you become 'one' with 'everything', thereby

having knowledge of 'all there is to know'. Furthermore you are already becoming 'one' gradually after 4th density and onwards. Refer to 'social/memory/complex'

in 4th density, 'unified thought forms' of 6th density etc.

A vital and most important 'clue' given by the Cassiopaeans, i wonder how many people 'remember' and 'truly understand' this one:

From Session: 960203

Q: (L) Okay, now, there are a lot of current teachings that say that the 'dregs' of other planets are being sent to Earth to 'refine' them, so to speak, and that this
is why the human race is so divided and antagonistic... that the interactions are supposed to result in annihilation of the weak and survival of the strong in both
physical and spiritual terms.
A: First of all, confusion abounds here due to incorrect interpretations of the last subject discussed. Dimensions are not densities!!!! Dimensions are strictly the
result of the universal consciousness as manifested in the imagination sector of thought. Density means level of development as measured in terms of closeness
to union with the one... Cycle. So, obviously, the "chupacabras" is a manifestation of human consciousness, and, human beings are a manifestation of the
Chupacabras consciousness. Get it? Now, a shocker for you: You would not exist if someone didn't "dream you up."
Q: (L) Who dreamed me up?
A: Not important just yet. You literally are the "figments" of someone's imagination, and nothing more!!!
Q: (L) You mean God dreams and brings us into existence?
A: Remember, "God" is really all existence in creation, in other words, all consciousness. This is because all existence in creation is consciousness, and vice
versa.
Well, i'll 'save' the 'figment of someone's imagination' part for later, this is the most important 'clue' to understand the 'creator/god/you/me/everything'. And since

'God' is really 'all existence in creation', 'all is 7th density' or 'All is God'.

So what have we 'learned' so far ? That 'God' is 'One' and 'Infinite', that 'time' is an 'illusion'. Creation spans/is 7 densities, and all is 'happening now'.

What you are about to read now is based on my understanding of 'all that is' and is subject to change at any moment. Nothing is 'written in stone'.

So 'God' 'thought' of this 'octave', 'scripted it', threw in 'free will' which makes the 'outcomes' non-deterministic at some level which makes it 'fun'. If you 'know' the

outcome of your 'movie', do you think you'll still have 'fun' or 'enjoy it' ?

I imagine the so called 'big bang' happened at 6th density by the 'Co-Creators'. They 'created' everything down to 1st density with infinite probabilites. Infinite

'outcomes' and infinite 'dimensions'. They modified it to create 'balance' all the time, this was done by 4th thru 6th density STO. This 'big bang' never 'happened' in

the 'literal/linear' term in 6th density downwards. Its like saying: 6d beings 'activated' the 'game' which not only 'started creating', 'is being created/added

to/upgrade/updated' and 'finished creating'.

Since all is 'happening now' in the 'infinite probabilities' of 'choice and action', 7th density is more or less 'One Being' with 'Infinite Thoughts' represented as

'Octaves' of 'Creation'
and the 'Creation' is also the 'Created', since its all 'NOW'

And what are 'Thoughts' anyways ? Read please:

From Session: 950111

Q: (L) What is the correct concept?
A: All is just lessons.
Q: (L) Whose thoughts are they?
A: Thoughts unify all reality in existence and are all shared.
Q: (S) You travel on a wave of energy created by all thought forms?
A: Thought forms are all that exists!

From Session: 960609

Q: (L) You say that you are unified thought forms in the realm of knowledge.
A: Yes.


'God' is 'One', 'One' is 'All/Infinite'. 'All' is but a mere 'Thought', 'Infinite Thoughts'.

So has anyone figured out the 'mystery' now ? Here it goes:

This 'Octave' is not the only creation 'happening' in the Creator's Mind, 'Infinite Octaves/Thoughts' representing 'Infinite Creations' is 'happening' in 7th density.

Meaning, you could understand that the 'universe' is 'infinite' from 1st to 6th density, but that is not 'All'. 7th density is 'One' big 'never ending orgasm' so

to speak.

'Multi-tasking' is 'FUN' isnt it ?

0% Chance 'YOU' can be bored!
[/quote]

altamash, you have just quoted a large amount of information to basically make a point, that is pretty clear to anyone who has read the transcripts, that "all is one". There is no need to quote so much to make this point, and it would help if you explained WHY you were making this point. Please try and remember to be externally considerate of the other members who, I presume, you expect to read your posts.
 
Know God and God will Know You

Understand God and God will Show You

sorry i was 'bored'

and you're right we should focus on our evolution

but i feel it will be 'useful' for some :P

that is just but 'one' secret 'revealed'

for those who get it
 
Hi altamash,

You can't expect members to read what you write and then when asked for some clarification, you simply state that you were bored!! Remember that we want to keep the noise down. It's also not very externally considerate.
 
altamash said:

altamash, that's a pretty empty statement. Just about any religion in the world could make it.

Do you think it is an appropriate response to Percival's remarks to you?


sorry i was 'bored'

Do you think that contributing on the forum because you are bored is going to help anybody?


and you're right we should focus on our evolution

What could you have done while you were writing your long message above to further your own evolution?

What do you think you could do, right this minute, to further your own evolution?

How well do you think you know yourself?


but i feel it will be 'useful' for some :P

Why? Are you here to teach?


that is just but 'one' secret 'revealed'
for those who get it

It certainly sounds like you are here to teach, that you think you understand some secrets that you can 'reveal' to those who 'get it'.

Do you think that someone who really understands some deep secrets would post to a board because he was 'bored'?

altamash, you are still new to this forum. I would suggest you seriously consider the questions posed to you and try to get a better handle on how we communicate with each other here.
 
There's not much to reply after Perceval's post, but here are some observations to act as a sort of "mirror" to your thinking and presentation to others, altamash. Gurdjieff spoke a lot about "wise-acring", which is basically when the intellect takes an idea and runs with it, expounding something that isn't truly understood, but presented as if it is, in fact, understood. Many of us humans have been known to do it, some more than others, but it's one of those tricks of the predator's mind that really should be "reigned in". It's all well and good to speculate on the nature of 7D, if that's what interests you, but it's a different matter to share those thoughts with others and to present them as if they are some "grand mystery" which you will "initiate" others into. This forum exists for networking, i.e. open sharing of data, which requires, as a prerequisite, some degree of external consideration and non-internal consideration.

altamash said:
It is said that 'god' does not perceive 'time' and that 'IT' exists in a 'still' state of 'time'. Creator exists on the 7th Density as the 'Cassiopaeans' and 'Ra' have clearly
mentioned on various occasions. I imagine the 'Infinite Creator' to be a 'Sphere', an 'illusional sphere'. Since all and everything is an 'illusion' in the 'infinite'
mind/thoughts of the Creator.

This is a big misunderstanding of the concept of densities. "Creator exists on 7th Density." Densities are hyperdimensional and interpenetrating. The entire cosmos, and all densities are an expression of 7D. With shaky foundations, the house is sure to be unstable! There isn't really any "mystery" in what the C's and Ra have said. In fact, have you considered the possibility that Ra, or the C's, or both, are wrong? Ra's teaching on densities, while new and interesting at the time, is out of date, and any mention of an eight dimension or density is a dead end when you consider hyperdimensions (which Ra never adequately got across). Even leaving out hyperdimenions, it's basically just a 2D way of getting across the concept of infinity (i.e. a line extending to infinity). Hyperdimensions explains the concept much better.

The 'beginning and the end' concept sounds confusing but i will try to explain. They say the 'beginning emerges from the end and vice versa' what this really means is that 'there is no beginning nor an end', 'IT ALL IS'. This 'illusional' 'beginning' and 'end' is 'Union with the One' i.e. 7th density. They also said: 'All is 7th Density', which makes sense since 'All is God' so to speak. So imagine a 'circle within a circle' and so on, imagine this like a 'Sphere'.

Again, there's no big mystery here for you to attempt to explain. In a state of timelessness, there is no beginning and end. This is all shown pretty clearly in the Wave, and there's no need to reinvent the wheel! ;)

Now what they are probably getting at is that there really is no such thing as 'Time' and that 'time' really is also the 'illusion':

Again, this is what Laura's been saying for years, so it's pretty much stating the obvious. Have you read the Wave series, or any of Laura's books? If not, I'd recommend doing so, because all these issues and more are dealt with in depth, and she presents the material in such a way that a lot of hangups that people get by just reading the transcripts are cleared up.

A vital and most important 'clue' given by the Cassiopaeans, i wonder how many people 'remember' and 'truly understand' this one:

This isn't a very considerate way of putting this, because you're essentially saying that YOU truly understand, when it's clear your thinking is pretty clouded on the subject. But it's normal for this kind of enthusiasm to disrupt thinking patterns at first. Again, something to be on guard for, and all part of the process of "cleansing" the mind. Eiriu Eolas helps in this regard!

Basically, you could have gotten across everything you wanted to say in a few sentences: The Cosmic Mind is infinite and and timeless in nature. Everything that exists comes from the Cosmic Mind, and is thus a "thought". These "thoughts" take the "form" of 7 balanced densities.

You didn't reveal anything, you just quoted the transcripts and repeated things that are very clear to anyone who can read. Were you by any chance smoking pot when writing this post?
 
First, i would like to say 'Big Thank You' to all of you for teaching me an important 'lesson' in life. What i learned is not important because its 'my lesson'.

Second, this was just a 'practice run' for me to 'start' sharing what i already know. I wished to be 'of service' (STO) nothing more.

Third, if you look at the 'posts' i've made on this forum and if you connect them then you'll understand where i could have gone with all this.

Lastly, i have been 'enlightened' and also a bit 'dis hearted' after meeting with such feedback. You guys are right and i am being a bit 'noisy' here and my extremely long thread above does not really 'help' anyone. What happened is that i realized something about the creator that i did not figure everyone would know and it seems you guys still dont get what im trying to 'reveal' here but after what 'happened' (which i do not wish to tell you guys as its my own lesson), the day i made this post, it seems clear to me that such 'revealing' does not help anyone but serves ones own 'selfish desires'.

I shall end by saying if you look at the posts i've made, i started with the topic on 'sex' and then i made this extensively long post about the creator and its multi-ness and i could have wrote more articles in the future that would be more 'sto' if you will...

anyways feel free to delete this thread. And lets not waste our 'energies' here.

...but who says this thread was not 'useful', there are 'lessons' to learn 'everywhere', 'YOU' wouldn't have 'taught' me if I hadn't made this post

'Mirrors' R 'FUN'
 
Altamash, you give what is not asked for and do not answer questions which are sincerely asked... the complete opposite of the STO definition. So, again, have you read the entire Wave and Adventure series? Do you think that you can explain to me what the Cs mean when they (myself in the future) explain it to me directly in unspoken words that are constantly given in response to my questions?

If, on the other hand, you wish to do your own superluminal communicating with YOU in the future, and then explain what you tell yourself, you can easily create your own website for your teachings.
 
Well, since you asked for it... First of all, is there a reason you put words in quotation marks that shouldn't be? Are you not a native English speaker?

altamash said:
First, i would like to say 'Big Thank You' to all of you for teaching me an important 'lesson' in life. What i learned is not important because its 'my lesson'.

This post of yours is dripping with false sincerity.

Second, this was just a 'practice run' for me to 'start' sharing what i already know. I wished to be 'of service' (STO) nothing more.

In other words, now we'll never learn the all the stuff you "already know". You did not wish to be "of service", you wished to show others how "enlightened" you are by posting self-important missives disguised as esoteric revelations. From what little you've posted so far, it's clear that you know very little, and yet you are convinced that you Know. That self-importance is the first stone that needs to be broken, altamash, if you wish to Know anything.

Third, if you look at the 'posts' i've made on this forum and if you connect them then you'll understand where i could have gone with all this.

More self-important "insider revelations". We're not biting.

Lastly, i have been 'enlightened' and also a bit 'dis hearted' after meeting with such feedback.

This can be read at least two ways. First, that you've seen yourself mirrored, and are disheartened at how the reality doesn't measure up to the image you had of yourself. But it seems more likely that it's the other way. You have been "enlightened" to how "unenlightened" WE are, and are "disheartened" that your revelations were met with such little interest. Is that it?

You guys are right and i am being a bit 'noisy' here and my extremely long thread above does not really 'help' anyone. What happened is that i realized something about the creator that i did not figure everyone would know and it seems you guys still dont get what im trying to 'reveal' here but after what 'happened' (which i do not wish to tell you guys as its my own lesson), the day i made this post, it seems clear to me that such 'revealing' does not help anyone but serves ones own 'selfish desires'.

And yet you STILL can't let go of the fact that you actually don't know as much as you think you do.
 
Altamash, altamash, altamash...

You have been given an opportunity to see yourself through other eyes. You are refusing/deflecting those viewpoints, in essence, as unworthy of your perception. What my eyes 'see' is a messiah complex. I see this clearly, because I had developed one a while back...and was called out. It hurt and shocked my self-importance at the time (see here http://www.cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php?topic=12537.0). I am unable to adequately put into words how thankful I am for the temporary posting ban I received - of course, thankful in hindsight. Regardless of how "enlightened" you may or may not be, no one cares or will care if you are behaving like a pompous ass would behave - forgive the bluntness. Your post(s) is(are) dripping wet with 'ME-ness', which, incidentally, is very STS, as was already pointed out. Perhaps you will SEE the image in the mirror. Perhaps not. My hope is that you will see, so we can all learn together.

Using purloined material, I should point out!
 
Hi,

In reading your posts throughout the forum so far, I notice that while you say you have read quite a good deal of material and do quote from many works, you don't seem to mention or quote Gurdjieff. This has me wondering...perhaps you have not had a chance to read much of his material?

I find it confusing when you say things like this:

this was just a 'practice run' for me to 'start' sharing what i already know.

because this leads me to think that you may have a plan or aim of some sort that has to do with you sharing what appears to you to be knowledge....yet you seem more to be trying to tell/force others to see how it is, at least according to you and what you think you see as the Truth.

You seem to think that whatever plan you have come up with is a 'good idea', and are now by your own words in the middle of a 'practice run'. Did or do you have the ability to question your own thinking? Especially when what may at the time seem like a really good idea?

Your responses to some of the assistance you have been recieving indicates that you may not be very familiar with Self Observation.......then again, if you are, maybe a brush-up on it would help. Here's a snip from a thread that I have found to be full of useful information and insights:

Leopher said:
There are many things that can be said about self-observation and what it is and what it is not. The whole of the Work starts from a man beginning to observe himself. Self-observation is a means of self-change. Serious and continuous self-observation, if done aright, leads to definite inner changes in a man.

Let us, first of all, consider self-observation in connection with a mistake often made about it. The mistake is the confusing of self-observation with knowing. To know and to observe are not the same thing. Speaking superficially, you may know you are sitting in a chair in your room, but can you say that you are actually observing it? Speaking more deeply, you may know you are in a negative state, but that does not mean that you are observing it.

A person in the Work said to me that he disliked somebody intensely. I said: "Try to observe it." He replied: "Why should I observe it? I don't need to. I know it already." In such a case, the person is confusing knowing with observing; that is, he does not understand what self-observation is. Moreover he has not grasped that self-observation, which is active, is a means of self-change, whereas merely knowing, which is passive, is not. Knowing is not an act of attention. Self-observation is an act of attention directed inwards - to what is going on in you. The attention must be active; that is, directed. In the case of a person you dislike, you notice what thoughts crowd into your mind, the chorus of voices speaking in you, what they are saying, what unpleasant emotions surge up, and so on. You notice also that you are treating the person you dislike very badly inside. Nothing is too bad to think of him or feel about him. But to see all this requires directed attention, not passive attention. The attention comes from the observing side, whereas the thoughts and emotions belong to the observed side in your-self. This is dividing yourself into two. There is a saying: "A man is first one, then two, and the one." The observing side, or Observing "I", stands interior to, or above, the observed side, but its power of independent consciousness varies, because it may be submerged at any moment. Then you are completely identified with the negative state. You do not observe the state but you are the state. You can then say that you know you are negative, but that is not to observe it. If the Observing "I" is supported by other 'I's which value the Work and recall it and wish to become more conscious, then it is not so easily submerged by the flood of negative things. It is then helped by - and is a part of - Deputy Steward. All this is quite different from merely knowing one is negative. Passive knowing can be said to be mechanical in contrast to self-observation which is a conscious act and cannot become mechanical. Mechanical self-observation has nothing to do with Work self-observation.

People not only confused knowing with the continuous act of self-observation but they mistake thinking for observing. To think is quite different from observing oneself. A man may think about himself all day and never observe himself once. The observation of one's thoughts is not the same as thinking. It should be clear now that knowing and thinking are not the same as observation.

The question is often asked: "What must I observe?" First, the Work explains carefully what you must begin to observe. But later a man must attain to fuller observation of himself - for a whole day, or a week - and see himself as an outside person. He must think what he would think if he met himself. He would, of course, cordially dislike this man who is himself. A man must observe everything in himself and always as if it were not him-self but IT. This means that he must say: "What is IT doing?" not "What am I doing?" He then sees now these thoughts going on in him, now these emotions, now these private plays and inventions, and so on, passing through him; one after the other. Next moment, of course, he goes to sleep again and takes part in them all. That is, he acts in the play he has composed and thinks it is real. He thinks he is the part he invented.

Let us consider this viewpoint further. A man must be able to say: "This is not me" to all his set pieces and his songs, to all the performances going on in him, to all the voices that he takes as his own. You know how sometimes just before going to sleep at night, you hear loud voices in your head. These are 'I's speaking. During the day, they are speaking all the time, only you take them as 'I', as yourself. But just before sleep, a separation takes place naturally, for connections are being broken between centres and between 'I's in order that sleep may be possible. Two or more 'I's can keep you from sleeping. So you hear them, as it were, as voices talking, just for a moment, because they are being separated by natural processes from you.

Inner separation means the power of not merely saying: "This is not I", but ultimately of actually perceiving it for oneself - perceiving that it is true, that "this is not I", not merely thinking it is so or trying to persuade oneself it is, or saying this is what the Work says.

When you are in an unpleasant state, if you observe yourself over some considerable time, you will notice that all sorts of different groups of unpleasant 'I's try to deal with it in succession and make something out of it. This is because negative 'I's live by being negative. Their life consists in negative thinking or negative feeling - that is, in providing you with unpleasant thoughts and feelings. It is their delight to do so for it is their life. In the Work, the enjoyment of negative states must be observed sincerely, especially the secret enjoyment of them. The reason is that if a man enjoys being negative, in whatever forms, and they are legion - he can never separate from them. You cannot separate yourself from what you have a secret affection for. The case actually is that you identify with negative 'I's through secret affection and so feel their enjoyment, for whatever you identify with you become. A man in himself is constantly transforming himself into different 'I's. He has nothing permanent, but by separation he can make something permanent. The line of separation is between what likes and what hates the Work.

Now we speak once more of observing talking. All rules are about talking, practically speaking, and how to deal with wrong talking. It is necessary to observe inner talking and from where it is coming. Wrong inner talking is the breeding-ground not only of many future unpleasant states but also of wrong outer talking. You know that there is in the Work what is called the practise of inner silence. The practise and meaning of inner silence is like this: first, it must be about something quite distinct and definite; and second, it is like not touching it. That is, you cannot practise inner silence in any vague general way, save perhaps as an experiment for a time. But you can practise it rigidly in regard to some distinct and definite thing, something you know and see quite clearly. Someone once asked: "Is practising inner silence the same as not letting something come into your mind?" The answer is no. It is not the same. What you are practising inner silence about is already in the mind and you must be aware of it, but you must not touch it with your inner speech, your inner tongue. Your outer literal tongue likes to touch sore places, as when a tooth hurts. So does your inner tongue. But if it does, the sore thing in your mind flows into your inner speech and unwraps itself as inner talking in every direction. You have noticed of course that inner talking always goes on in negative states and that it coins many unpleasant phrases, which suddenly find expression in outer talking, perhaps long after. In the Work we are told that it is necessary to be careful about wrong outer talking at first, and, later on, about wrong inner talking. Actually, wrong outer talking is mostly due to wrong inner talking. Wrong inner talking, particularly venomous and evil inner talking, and so on, makes a mess within, like excrement. They are all different forms of lying and this is why they have such strength and persistence. Lies are always more powerful than truth because they can hurt. If you observe wrong inner talking you will notice it is only half-truths, or truths connected in the wrong order, or with something added or left out. In other words, it is simply lying to oneself. If you say: "Is this quite true?" it may stop it, but it will find another set of lies. Eventually you must dislike it. If you enjoy it, you will never lessen its power. It is not enough to dislike liking it: you must dislike it.

All this belongs to the purification of the emotional life. Mechanically we only like ourselves, and so we dislike or hate those who do not like us. A development of being is not possible, and quite obviously so, unless the emotions cease to have only this basis of self-liking. External considering, in the Work, is putting oneself in the position of others. This is referred to in the Gospels:

"All things - whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do yet also unto them" [Matthew, 7:12]
This is one of the definite formulations in the Gospels of what in the Work is called External Considering. But a man must think very deeply what it says and perceive internally what it means, because it has an outer and inner meaning. If you say: "I always think of others," then observe it. It is probably a buffer. You do not notice perhaps that you say things, or you write things, which, if you received, you would not tolerate for a moment. This is one very interesting form of self-observation and it includes observing "inner talking". In yourself everyone else is helpless. You can, as it were, drag a person into the cave of yourself and do what you like with her or him. You may be polite naturally, but in the Work, which is all about purifying or organising the inner life, it is not enough. It is how you behave internally and invisibly to one another that really counts. This is very difficult to understand. You may think you know this already. But to understand - even to understand it - takes many years of work. When the inner corresponds with the outer and when the outer obeys the inner, then a man possesses a "second body". As we are, our outer life does not correspond with our inner life, and our outer life controls our inner. The inner grows by seeing the good of something. Recently here we were talking of what the saint, Cassian, says about a man being able to do the same thing for different reasons. A man may act from fear - fear of law, fear of reputation, fear of opinion. Then he acts from outside. Or he may act from ambition - and many other similar forms of self-interest. Or he may act from good - from seeing the good of acting so. This develops the internal man. Now all this can be a subject of self-observation. But even the first stages of self-observation have a certain effect. They let in rays of light into the darkness of our psychic life. It is the psychic life we have to think of in the Work. All the instructions of the Work are about one's psychic life, which is in chaos. In this way, self-observation becomes deeper, and the valuation of the Work becomes more and more internal. So the Work begins to act on Essence - on what is the real part of man.

Work on oneself is always the same. It does not matter where you are. You are always in contact with the Work if your inner attitude to it is right. If your inner attitude is right, the Work will teach you about what work on yourself means. If your inner attitude is wrong, it cannot, because you block the way. In all self-observation, if it is to become full self-observation, you must observe IT. That is, you must see all your reactions to life and circumstances as IT in you and not as 'I'. If you say 'I', then nothing can happen. The saying of 'I', the feeling of 'I', makes it impossible to change. If to every negative state you say 'I', then you cannot escape it. At first a man takes himself as one and says 'I' to all that happens in his psychic life. But in order to change he must become two. Then, later on, he may become one - a unity. The instrument of self-observation is like a knife that cuts us away from what is not us. If you begin to see what it means to say: "This is not 'I'", then you begin to use this instrument.

When you can really say: "What is IT doing?" instead of "What am I doing?" you begin to understand the Work. The Work is to make a new set of reactions or rather new ways of taking things. As long as you take ordinary things in a new way you begin to change. You cannot remain the same - and change. If you are always the same it means that you always react to life in the same way. You insist on your pound of flesh. The idea of change is not to be the same. The idea of the Work is to change oneself. The idea of self-observation is to separate from what one was by not going with what one observes. In this way self-observation is a means of self-change.

When you have begun to form in yourself the powerful mental instrument of this Work, you will find that wherever you turn it, you will catch new meanings. The Work forms in us a new instrument of reception, a new apparatus for receiving impressions, both from outside and from inside. The Work lies in parts that have to be joined together by means of understanding. Each part of the Work, each separate idea, each bit of the teaching, is exactly like the parts of, say, a radio-machine. The parts of a radio are, let us say, lying on a table and you can see them. If you know enough, if you understand what they are, you can put them together and then the instrument begins to work and you hear all sorts of invisible things that otherwise you could not hear. In the case of the Work, each part is not something physical, an outer object lying on a table, but is psychical - an idea, a thought, a direction, a formulation, a diagram, and so on. If all these parts fitted together by understanding, and valuation, the Work forms a new and organised apparatus in you. That is, you are newly organised. You have a new psychic organism in you. The Work is actually a whole and complete organism which is given little by little, part by part, but all these parts are parts of a true whole. If the Work is thus formed in you, you have a new thing, a new organised instrument in you. Even a single part of the Work, if taken in with valuation and understanding, will begin to work a change in you because it will transmit new influences. But the whole of the Work must be formed in a man. This can be thought of as another body - another organised thing in man - if the man lives the Work. Then it will control the man he was.

A lack of questions in most of your posts indicates that you are certain about what you speak as well, and are here to teach and not learn. You do state that nothing you say is in stone, yet by the way you have responded to feedback and mirroring, as Approaching Infinity says:

This post of yours is dripping with false sincerity.
 
Approaching_Infinity:

English is not my first language
words in quotes hold deeper meaning

and thanks Tempus Fugit, i'll check that out

Laura:

i came here with good intentions but they were soon perverted, i couldnt stop fascinating about the fact that i am 'closer' to you and maybe someday i could ask you to ask the C's about me. But what i learned it that i doesnt matter whether its the c's or ra or any higher density sto being, i dont need anyone to tell me 'what to do'.

There are 'real life experiences', many of them already 'present' in my life with is sufficient to keep me 'on track'.

The day i made this post and met with the responses, i went out, 4am in the morning for some tea and a cigarette. I kept contemplating about the responses in this thread and i asked the C's: Do the Cassiopaean's think this thread was not 'worth it' ? and immediately after i went over to my bike, sat down and i had a glass of tea in my left hand and the cigarette in the right, right then the bike tipped over and i fell crashing down. Imagine the 'glass' as something that is 'filled' and imagine the ciggarette as something that simply destroys or burns. Part of the tea spilled over indicating 'loss of positive polarity'.

i hope that explains everything.

and please forgive me
