Actually, the density information was derived directly from the Ra Material and the comments of Don Elkins (I spent a couple of years working with L/L Research).I've read this part, but I don't think the "Density Bands" is the density present by Ra and the other ufo guys.
First, let me comment on channeled material, in general. The information related by a channel is only as accurate as the knowledge base that the channel has, as their mind is used to interpret the incoming concepts and put words to it. It is not a conscious act, however. Jim McCarty lf L/L explained to me what goes on when a channeling starts, describing it as hearing a voice in your head that you verbalize, but it can only speak the words you know. It does not appear to be a direct connection to the speech center, but rather to the precursors of speech. One of the things that makes the Ra Material intriguing is that Carla, the channel, is a very well-read person and has a wide vocabulary for an incoming entity to select from. But there are limits... there were occasions when I asked Q'uo a question, and they woudl reply that they'd love to answer the question, but the instrument (Carla) did not have the necessary vocabulary or concepts to permit the transliteration to English. So the things to be learned from this, is that two channels may use the word "density" or "dimension," but may not be talking about the same concept. So "context" becomes very important in channeled material.
As to "density"... since Don Elkins was familiar with Larson and his Reciprocal System, it appears that density was chosen over dimension because it is a more accurate description of the concept. And Ra perfers medieval Latin definitions of words, and the root, densitas, refers to either "compactness" (concerning physical structures) or a "degree of complexity" (as in tightly packed information). Since we call the density of physical structures the "state of matter" (solid, liquid, gas), and Ra did not choose to use "state," it can be inferred that "density" refers to the latter, a level of complexity.
Larson's Reciprocal System is based on quanta--discrete units. In Beyond Space and Time (which was published after Don's death), Larson was able to define three levels of complexity, as a natural consequence of a universe of motion: the inanimate, the biologic and the ethical. The approach he used to determine this was perfectly logical: everything that could be described by inanimate law went into the inanimate realm. And when he did that, there was stuff left over--like "life," which did not fit the inanimate laws. In the inanimate realm, you had space OR time; matter or antimatter (cosmic matter) as it is conventionally called. The next quantum leap beyond that was a stable combination of matter and antimatter, which is the basis of the biological realm. Using the same logic, he was able to assign observed phenomena into the biological realm, but still had some stuff left over, such as religion, extra-sensory ability and ethics. All the remainder got dumped into a 3rd, "ethical" realm. However, Larson died before having the opportunity to analyze and break down the ethical realm to see if there were any non-conforming components that would require additional levels of complexity (densities), so the Reciprocal System is limited to these three degrees of complexity: inanimate (1st density), biological (2nd density) and ethical (3rd-7th densities).
With a clear definition of what a "density" is, how it differs from the concept of "dimension" and basic knowledge on the reciprocal and conjugate relationships of space and time, a lot can be done--including calculations. This is where the "density bands" chart originates. If you look on the right side, several things become apparent, that are not explicitly stated in the Ra Material nor by Larson:
- The densities overlap--a natural consequence of increasing speed (frequency). As you start to finish one density, you start to enter the next. It may appear a smooth transition, but is stll quantized.
- There is a range of frequencies for each density, and a range of those frequencies may coexist in multiple densities. A piano and a flute can both play the note "C," despite being totally different physical structures.
- There are both material (space/time) and cosmic (time/space) frequency ranges for each density, that split at unit speed (6.58 Phz).
- Larson calculated the "Unit speed" of a photon to be 25.7 Thz, which differs radically from the unit boundary speed of 6.58 Phz. The chart explains the difference--the unit speed boundary is at 6.58 Phz, whereas the 1st density boundary--where you would find the photon--is at 25.7 Thz. Larson calculated the 1st density frequency, not the unit boundary frequency.
- Vacuum frequencies (material) are on the top half of the chart, and one finds that these are the ones we use.
- Aetheric frequencies (cosmic) are on the bottom half of the chart. Most of these frequencies are well beyond our ability to manage electronically.
