7 bodies in each density, or just 1 body?

zenmaster, I grasp that you are referring to the popular scientific concept of physicality which makes no space for subtle energies such as chi.

Well yes, generally, subtle energies are not measurable without a certain level of awareness. Lacking a scientific approach, there are many disparate, conflicting, systems which attempt to classify and explain such energies.

According to Ra, "The yellow-ray body is your physical vehicle which you know of at this time and in which you experience catalyst. This body has the mind/body/spirit characteristics and is equal to the physical illusion, as you have called it."

I think that the importance of identifying the yellow ray body with the physical illusion is the same as the importance of the distinction between "inner" and "outer" planes.

The yellow-ray body is simply what we interact with here. Its configuration enables or facilitates self-awareness due to its connectivity with higher-mind.

It may well be that our astral plane is has no direct relationship to the fourth density, but this is not exactly what I meant to imply. Rather, what I meant to suggest is that in each density, some planes are inner and some planes are outer.

OK, as far as I can tell, the 'inner planes' are time/space or metaphysical.

My best guess is that this border is the color plane which corresponds to the color of the density. So the green ray plane in 4th density would be the highest manifestation of the physical illusion and the nearest inner plane in 4th density would be the blue ray plane.

The 3D 'green-ray' plane is a time/space domain. time/space, being the reciprocal of space/time, is a totality 'at once'. That totality holds a potential for consciousness. Such a consciousness has subsumed the typical 3D-yellow-ray 'ego' consciousness which is used to process most of the catalyst here. It's where you merely begin to be able to work with your emotions (i.e. for balancing).

A great deal of the confusion of the 'next-step' in evolution has to do with individuals here reaching the point where work of this type may begin and thinking this is the same as 3D transcendence. It's not. It's merely the beginning of average societal (conventional) transcendence. We, as a 3D society, could continue well beyond 'green-ray' (inner) work (which necessarily involves acceptance, hence the confusion with 4th density). If we reach 'blue-ray' (inner) work, we could potentially form a 3D SMC.

The only intersection we have in 3D with 4D is via the 'spirit' (our particular connection to it). Through the spirit there is a harmonic of green-ray plane with 4th density as a whole (hence the vague, intuitive descriptions and ambiguous apprehensions). But that awareness can't even be called a shadow of 4th density, which itself is a discrete level (plane) of existence.

All this said, I still find myself wondering: Ra says that early 4th density beings cannot populate Earth because they would not yet know how to hide themselves from 3rd density beings (us). This leads me to wonder just how distinct our inner and outer planes really are from other densities.

They are distinct. What Ra is saying is that the entity's awareness determines the overlap. The progression of consciousness still continues (albeit in a new body), and manifestation of this consciousness is more under direct control of 4D entity. In other words, the 4D entity has a (latent) ability to not manifest that aspect of themselves once they integrate it. While their 'center of gravity' is still in 4D, they are still 'ascending' with overlap from what had supported prior 3D consciousness.
