I believe that the next octave will be quite different than this one, as infinity explores itself through expressing yet another possibility. And where did Ra, or anybody, say that 8D is the 1D of the next octave? I had thought (based on something written somewhere?) that 8D is the state where everything becomes one once again, and lies still, resting before the next exhalation, which produces anew the universe of manifestation, beginning at 1D of the next octave.
Does that mean we begin again as rocks (or the next octave equivalent)? Maybe, but I think perhaps the collectives that formed in 4D and coalesced through 8D instead become the logoi of the next octave, guiding and planning the evolution of the new souls created (the "rocks" of the next octave). What happens to the logoi of this octave?
Hello Etude,
On the latter half of your sentiment, I am in agreement with you in as much as who may say what takes place as regards the next Octave, much less what did take place in the previous. As regards unity's statement that 8D is equivalent to 1D of the next Octave, he is indeed correct as per the LOO and Ra teachings. Imagine the scale of a piano having eight notes consisting of: Doe-Rae-Mi-Fa-So-La-Te, and the next note on the scale begins anew with Doe. Doe here is indeed the first note of the next Octave on the eight scale octave as much as it is the last note of the previous Octave. Octave from the Latin Octava meaning eight. To assume in the context of the Creation however that we may be playing on the same piano at the next scale however may be the jump in logic that simply may not be applied logically. To assume that it is the same piano much less even the same instrument as we normally would on normal scales and normal pianos in normal symphonies might be a gross mis-step. We just don't know. The next Octave may simply carry with it the notes of eight, but not at all as an extension of the same Creation. To thread this together as if though it were good logic, albeit logical as I give unity credit for, may be the antithesis of logic. How may we apply logic to that which is unknown and purposefully enshrouded in mystery. That would be not only illogical, but presumptuous.
