In all of Creation, there exist nine levels of existence, or density layers. These densities are sometimes referred to as dimensions.

Dimensions versus densities

Dimension is a term often used to refer to other realms of existence, but it can cause confusion in that the word dimension also refers to measurable attributes of this reality such as time or space measurements; for example length, width, or height.

Other realms of existence could be more descriptively called densities, levels, or density levels. In the light of emerging knowledge, I recommend that people avoid potential confusion by using the words density or density level instead of dimension to describe a vibrational level of existence.

There are nine primary density layers in the universe, each one divided further into multiple sub-layers. They are called density layers because they were formed by the progressive compression of divine consciousness to produce different levels of existence. Fourth density, for example, is more subtle (less dense) than our third-density realm of existence.

Beyond the Ninth

The root of all consciousness, of all awareness is Infinite Being – the Absolute, Tao, or the “I Am” presence within all things. When Infinite Being stirred from its eternal state of peace and perfect bliss in order to engage in the act of Creation, it formed an active aspect of itself which we refer to as the Creator.

While the Creator aspect of Infinite Being engages in the action which maintains the universe in existence, it is the underlying omniscience of Infinite Being which is the awareness that is present in all parts of Creation.

The universe exists within the mind of the Creator, so the One Creator is beyond all the density layers of Creation.

All of Creation exists within the mind of the Creator.

The Nine Densities

The three creative principles of the Creator (thought, feeling and motion) were employed to create the nine density levels of existence using nine variations of the original three principles. These are:

• Three cosmic levels (7D-9D)
• Three spiritual levels (4D-6D)
• Three basic levels (1D-3D)

The top three densities are home to the root consciousness of the cosmic aspects of the universe with which we are familiar – galaxies (9D), solar systems (8D) and planets (7D). Seventh density (7D) is home to the consciousness of planetary beings such as Gaia, the Mother Earth. This is where most of her consciousness exists even though she maintains bodies in other levels of existence, such as our realm in physical 3D.

The 7D level of consciousness can be visited by humans who reach the ultimate yogic achievement of cosmic consciousness. This occurs when the kundalini life force, normally resident in the base of the spine, is raised, not partially, but in its entirety to the crown chakra above the head. As a rule in this 3D world, yoga masters who can achieve full cosmic consciousness are quite rare. One great example of an exception to the rule is Yogananda (1893-1952).

Sixth density (6D) is home to angels and archangels. Archangels are global spirits whose enormous fields of awareness surround the world in all levels of sixth, fifth, fourth and third density. The consciousness of the great world teachers is based in upper sixth density as this provides the greatest coverage for their awareness across the globe.

When a person calls upon an archangelic being, this immediately contacts that being’s world-spanning awareness and they will then focus more attention upon the person. If they sense that healing, support or upliftment is appropriate, they will respond by providing such a service. Jesus operates out of the upper 6D archangelic realm because that gives him the greatest coverage in his service to the spiritual growth of all people in the full range of realms in 3D-5D.

Fifth density (5D) is home to soul consciousness and is a nonphysical realm of spiritual light and sound energies. Traditionally, 5D is referred to as the higher mental realms. Although souls are perceived as separate individuals in 5D, just as we are in the physical realm, they are also fully attuned to their connectedness with each other. Soul bodies are nonphysical fields of higher mental energy. Your soul can also be referred to as your higher self or as the superconscious aspect of your total field of awareness.

Fourth density (4D) is home to spirits in the afterlife and it can also support physical humans. There are numerous sub-realms of existence within fourth density, with the lower sub-realms being more dense than the higher sub-realms. While spirit or “astral” beings are ethereal and ghost-like relative to us, they are solid to each other, so they are correctly referred to as quasi-physical rather than nonphysical beings.

Those who inhabit the realms of the afterlife in spirit bodies experience relative freedom as their quasi-physical spirit bodies respond easily to their mental direction. Spirit beings find it easy to levitate and they can instantly relocate to a desired destination. They can also create quasi-physical objects using the pressure of mental energy applied to the universal supply of etheric energy. They called these objects thought forms and a well-made thought form will exist for more than a year without any further attention before it dissolves back into the surroundings as etheric energy. With regular attention, it will stay in existence as long as it is important to someone.

Third density (3D) is currently home to physical human beings. It is a realm of self-awareness and intellectual development. While your physical body is currently located in third density, your mind is free to roam to other frequencies or density levels of awareness.

Second density (2D) is the level of consciousness of biological existence – of plants and wild animals, even though their physical forms exist in the 3D realm. Third density is currently the lowest level where the earth maintains a physical body, so there is no 2D version of earth below us.

First density (1D) is the level of consciousness of the basic physical elements and objects that are called ‘inanimate’ by many people, such as rocks and crystals. Because all objects in the universe are composed of compressed divine consciousness, even subatomic particles have a sense of awareness at some level. For example, quantum entanglement experiments have shown that when subatomic particles collide and separate, they continue to remember each other and act out their connected relationship.

Conscious Level versus Location Level

Even though your physical body is stationed in the 3D Location Level, your Conscious Level can vary from minute to minute. You can be focused on a practical challenge requiring 3D thinking one minute, then go into heart-centered 4D consciousness the next minute and then, with some practice, launch even further into 5D soul consciousness.

Here’s another example of Conscious Level versus Location Level. The building blocks of the physical universe exist at the lowest density of awareness – basic chemical elements like hydrogen, copper, calcium, and silicon. These basic elements exhibit a 1D (first-density) Conscious Level, yet they exist with us in this 3D world. Their Location Level is 3D even though their Conscious Level is 1D.

A little further up the scale of consciousness is the plant kingdom in the 2D, second-density Conscious Level. Again, their 3D Location Level is different to their 2D Conscious Level.

We are being prepared for ascension to physical 4D by the gradually rising frequency of all matter on the earth. This is a cosmic change ordained by the Divine Creator, and one which ranges far beyond our planet or even our solar system. When The Shift is complete, our physical bodies and all matter on earth will be located in the fourth-density level of existence.

The primary consciousness of Gaia, the Mother Earth, exists in 7D seventh-density consciousness, which is the first layer of the cosmic realms of awareness. Besides her root consciousness in 7D, Gaia maintains a presence in the 6D angelic realms, the 5D soul realms, the 4D subtle realms, and the 3D physical realm.

It is a perfect example of how the universe is benevolent. We are honored to stand on the physical body of a seventh-density cosmic entity, the Mother Earth. On a clear day, we can even look up into the sky and see an even greater being, the eighth-density Cosmic Being we call the Sun.

The Sun is the closest Being to the Divine within our sight.
