The Law of One, Book III, Session 69

Ra: I am Ra. I greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator.

Before we proceed may we make a small request for future workings.

At this particular working there is some slight interference with the contact due to the hair of the instrument.

We may suggest the combing of this antenna-like material into a more orderly configuration prior to the working.

We communicate now.

Questioner: A question which I didn’t get to ask at the previous session and which I will be forced to ask at this time is, is the trance state the only state in which a mind/body/spirit positive entity may be lured by a negative entity or adept to negative time/space configuration?

Ra: I am Ra. This is a misperceived concept.

The mind/body/spirit complex which freely leaves the third-density physical complex is vulnerable when the appropriate protection is not at hand.

You may perceive carefully that very few entities which choose to leave their physical complexes are doing work of such a nature as to attract the polarized attention of negatively oriented entities.

The danger to most in trance state, as you term the physical complex being left,
is the touching of the physical complex in such a manner as to attract the mind/body/spirit complex back thereunto or to damage the means by which that which you call ectoplasm is being recalled.

This instrument is an anomaly in that it is well that the instrument not be touched or artificial light thrown upon it while in the trance state.

However, the ectoplasmic activity is interiorized.

The main difficulty, as you are aware, is then the previously discussed negative removal of the entity under its free will.

That this can happen only in the trance state is not completely certain, but it is highly probable that in another out-of-body experience such as death the entity here examined would, as most positively polarized entities, have a great deal of protection from comrades, guides, and portions of the self which would be aware of the transfer you call the physical death.

Questioner: Then you are saying that the protective friends, we will call them, would be available in every condition except for what we call the trance state which seems to be anomalistic with respect to the others.

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: Why is this trance state, as we call it, different?

Why are there not entities available in this particular state?

Ra: I am Ra. The uniqueness of this situation is not the lack of friends, for this, as all entities, has its guides or angelic presences and, due to polarization, teachers and friends also.

The unique characteristic of the workings which the social memory complex Ra and your group have begun is the intent to serve others with the highest attempt at near purity which we as comrades may achieve.

This has alerted a much more determined friend of negative polarity which is interested in removing this particular opportunity.

We may say once again two notes:

Firstly,
we searched long to find an appropriate channel or instrument and an appropriate support group.

If this opportunity is ended we shall be grateful for that which has been done, but the possibility/probability vortices indicating the location of this configuration again are slight.

Secondly,
we thank you for we know what you sacrifice in order to do that which you as a group wish to do.

We will not deplete this instrument in so far as we are able.

We have attempted to speak of how the instrument may deplete itself through too great a dedication to the working.

All these things and all else we have said has been heard.

We are thankful.

In the present situation we express thanks to the entities who call themselves Latwii.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 74

Questioner: Could you please describe the trance state?

I am somewhat confused as to how, in a trance, pain can affect the instrument since I was of the opinion that there would be no feeling of pain by the bodily complex in the trance state?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

The instrument has no awareness of this or other sensations.

However, we of Ra use the yellow-ray activated physical complex as a channel through which to speak.

As the mind/body/spirit complex of the instrument leaves this physical shell in our keeping it is finely adjusted to our contact.

However, the distortion which you call pain, when sufficiently severe, mitigates against proper contact and, when the increased distortion is violent, can cause the tuning of the channel to waver.

This tuning must then be corrected which we may do as the instrument offers us this opportunity freely.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 79

gos prior to this experiment in veiling was what I would consider to be less complex than it is now, possibly containing fewer archetypes. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. We must ask your patience. 

We perceive a sudden flare of the distortion known as pain in this instrument’s left arm and manual appendages. 

Please do not touch this instrument. 

We shall examine the mind complex and attempt to reposition the limb so that the working may continue. 

Then please repeat the query.

(Ninety second pause)

I am Ra. You may proceed.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 91

Ra: I am Ra. Not only did each race add to the planetary mind but also each race possesses a racial mind.

Thus we made this distinction in discussing this portion of mind.

This portion of mind is formed in the series of seemingly non-simultaneous experiences which are chosen in freedom of will by the mind/body/spirit complexes of the planetary influence.

Therefore, although this Akashic, planetary, or racial mind is indeed a root of mind it may be seen in sharp differentiation from the deeper roots of mind which are not a function of altering memory, if you will.

We must ask your patience at this time.

This channel has become somewhat unclear due to the movement of the cover which touches this instrument.

We ask that the opening sentences be repeated and the breath expelled.

(The microphones attached to the cover upon the instrument were pulled slightly
as a rug was being placed over a noisy tape recorder. The Circle of One was
walked; breath was expelled two feet above the instrument’s head from her right
to her left; and the Circle of One was walked again as requested.)

Ra: I am Ra. We communicate now.

Questioner: Were we successful in re-establishing clear contact?

Ra: I am Ra. There was the misstep which then needed to be re-repeated.

This was done.

The communication is once again clear.

We enjoyed the humorous aspects of the necessary repetitions.

Questioner: What occurred when the microphone cords were slightly moved?

Ra: I am Ra. The link between the instrument’s mind/body/spirit complex and its yellow-ray, chemical, physical vehicle was jarred.

This caused some maladjustment of the organ you call the lungs and, if the repair had not been done, would have resulted in a distorted physical complex condition of this portion of the instrument’s physical vehicle.

Questioner: What kind of distortion?

Ra: I am Ra. The degree of distortion would depend upon the amount of neglect.

The ultimate penalty, shall we say, for the disturbing of the physical vehicle is the death, in this case by what you would call the congestive heart failure.

As the support group was prompt there should be little or no distortion experienced by the instrument.

Questioner: Why does such a very minor effect like the slight movement of the microphone cord result in this situation, not mechanically or chemically, but philosophically, if you can answer this question?

Ra: I am Ra. We can only answer mechanically as there is no philosophy to the reflexes of physical vehicular function.

There is what you might call the silver cord reflex;
that is, when the mind/body/spirit complex dwells without the environs of the physical shell and the physical shell is disturbed, the physical shell will reflexively call back the absent enlivener; that is, the mind/body/spirit complex which is connected with what may be metaphysically seen as what some of your philosophers have called the silver cord.

If this is done suddenly the mind/body/spirit complex will attempt entry into the energy web of the physical vehicle without due care and the effect is as if one were to stretch one of your elastic bands and let it shrink rapidly.

The resulting snap would strike hard at the anchored portion of the elastic band.

The process through which you as a group go in recalling this instrument 
could be likened unto taking this elastic and gently lessening its degree of tension until it was without perceptible stretch.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 103

Questioner: Our appropriate time limit for this working, I believe, is rapidly approaching, so I would like to ask what was the problem in this session when twice in this session we had to expel breath over the instrument’s chest?

Ra: I am Ra. This instrument is unaware of the method used to contact Ra.

However, its desire was particularly strong, at the outset of this working, for this working to transpire. 

Thus it inadvertently was somewhat premature in its leaving of the yellow-ray, physical body.

In this state the object was dropped upon the instrument which you call the tie-pin microphone. 

The unexpected contact caused injury of the chest muscles and we would advise some care depending from this working to avoid stress so that this injury may heal. 

There is a metaphysical component to this injury and, therefore, we wished to be quite sure that all portions of the environment were cleansed. 

Since this place of working has not its usual level of protection we used your breath to so cleanse the environment, which was at risk.

Questioner: Is the reason for this lack of protection the fact that it has been a considerable time since we have worked in here?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

Questioner: What is the reason?

Ra: I am Ra. The lack of regular repetition of the so-called Banishing Ritual is the lack of which we spoke.

Questioner: From this I assume that it would be most appropriate to perform the Banishing Ritual daily in this room. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. That is acceptable.

Questioner: I don’t want to overtire the instrument.

We’re running close to time here.

I will just ask if there is anything that we can do to improve the contact or to make the instrument more comfortable, and anything else that Ra could state at this time that would aid us?

Ra: I am Ra. We find the alignments quite fastidiously observed.

You are conscientious.

Continue in support, one for the other, and find the praise and thanksgiving that harmony produces.

Rest your cares and be merry.

I am Ra.

I leave you, glorying in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator.

Go forth, therefore, rejoicing in the power and in the peace of the one infinite Creator.

Adonai.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 74

Questioner: In selecting the protective ritual we finally agreed upon the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram.

I assume that these sound vibratory complexes are of the type of which you speak for the alerting of those on the inner planes. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: If we had constructed a ritual of our own with words used for the first time in this sequence of protection what would have been the relative merit of this with respect to the ritual that we chose?

Ra: I am Ra. It would be less.

In constructing ritual it is well to study the body of written work which is available for names of positive or service to others power are available.

Questioner: I will make an analogy to the loudness of the ringing of the telephone in using the ritual as the efficiency of the practitioners using the ritual.

I see several things affecting the efficiency of the ritual: first,

the desire of the practitioners to serve,
their ability to invoke the magical personality,
their ability to visualize while performing the ritual,

and let me ask you as to the relative importance of those items and how each may be intensified?

Ra: I am Ra. This query borders upon over-specificity.

It is most important for the adept to feel its own growth as teach/learner.

We may only say that you correctly surmise the paramount import of the magical personality.

This is a study in itself.

With the appropriate emotional will, polarity, and purity, work may be done with or without proper sound vibration complexes.

However, there is no need for the blunt instrument when the scalpel is available.

Questioner: I assume that the reason that the rituals that have been used previously are of effect is that these words have built a bias in consciousness of those who have worked in these areas so that those who are of a distortion of mind that we seek will respond to imprint in consciousness of this series of words. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is, to a great extent, correct.

The exception is the sounding of some of what you call your Hebrew and some of what you call you Sanskrit vowels.

These sound vibration complexes have power before time and space and represent configurations of light which built all that there is.

Questioner: Why do these sounds have this property?

Ra: I am Ra. The correspondence in vibratory complex is mathematical. 

At this time we have enough transferred energy for one full query.

Questioner: How did the users of these sounds, Sanskrit and Hebrew, determine what these sounds were?

Ra: I am Ra.

In the case of the Hebrew
that entity known as Yahweh aided this knowledge through impression upon the material of genetic coding which became language, as you call it.

In the case of Sanskrit
the sound vibrations are pure due to the lack of previous, what you call, alphabet or letter-naming.

Thus the sound vibration complexes seemed to fall into place as from the Logos.

This was a more, shall we say, natural or unaided situation or process.

We would at this time make note of the incident in the previous working where our contact was incorrectly placed for a short period and was then corrected.

In the exercise of the fire you may see the initial spiral
clockwise from the green-ray energy center,
through the shoulders and head,
then through the elbows,
then to the left hand.

The channel had been corrected before the remainder of this answer was completed.

Is there a brief query at this time?

The Law of One, Book III, Session 75

Questioner: You spoke in a previous session about certain Hebrew and Sanskrit sound vibratory complexes being powerful because they were mathematically related to that which was the creation.

Could you expand on this understanding as to how these are linked?

Ra: I am Ra. As we previously stated the linkage is mathematical or that of the ratio you may consider musical.

There are those whose mind complex activities would attempt to resolve this mathematical ratio but at present the coloration of the intoned vowel is part of the vibration which cannot be accurately measured.

However, it is equivalent to types of rotation of your primary material particles.

Questioner: If these sounds are precisely vibrated then what effect or use, with respect to the purposes of the adept, would they have?

Ra: I am Ra. You may consider the concept of sympathetic resonance. 

When certain sounds are correctly vibrated, the creation sings.

Questioner: Would these sounds, then, be of a musical nature in that there would be a musical arrangement of many different sound vibrations, or would this apply to just one single note?

Which would it apply more to?

Ra: I am Ra. This query is not easily answered.

In some cases only the intoned vowel has effect.

In other cases, most notably Sanskrit combinations, the selection of harmonic intervals is also of resonant nature.

Questioner: Then would the adept use this resonant quality to become more one with the creation and, therefore, attain his objective in that way?

Ra: I am Ra. It would be perhaps more accurate to state that in this circumstance the creation becomes more and more contained within the practitioner.

The balance of your query is correct.

Questioner: Could you tell me the musical name of the notes to be intoned that are of this quality?

Ra: I am Ra. We may not.

Questioner: I didn’t think that you could, but I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask.

Then I assume that these must be sought out and determined by empirical observation of their effect by the seeker. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is partially correct.

As your seeking continues there will be added to empirical data that acuity of sensibility which continued working in the ways of the adept offers.

The Law of One, Book I, Session 3

Questioner: Does the shape of the pyramid have a function in the initiation process?

Ra: I am Ra. This is a large question. 

We feel that we shall begin and ask you to re-evaluate and ask further at a later session, this somewhat, shall we say, informative point.

To begin. 
There are two main functions of the pyramid in relation to the initiatory procedures. 

One has to do with the body. 
Before the body can be initiated, the mind must be initiated. 

This is the point at which most adepts of your present cycle find their mind/body/spirit complexes distorted from.

When the character and personality that is the true identity of the mind has been discovered, the body then must be known in each and every way.

Thus, the various functions of the body need understanding and control with detachment. 

The first use of the pyramid, then, 
is the going down into the pyramid for purposes of deprivation of sensory input so that the body may, in a sense, be dead and another life begin.

We advise, at this time, any necessary questions and a fairly rapid ending of this session. 

Have you any query at this time/space?

The Law of One, Book III, Session 71

Questioner: Could you please comment on the accuracy of these statements.

I am going to talk in general about the concept of magic and first define it as the ability to create changes in consciousness at will.

Is this an acceptable definition?

Ra: I am Ra. This definition is acceptable in that it places upon the adept the burden it shall bear.

It may be better understood by referring back to an earlier query, in your measurement, within this working having to do with the unmanifested self.

In magic one is working with one’s unmanifested self in body, in mind, and in spirit; the mixture depending upon the nature of the working.

These workings are facilitated by the enhancement of the activation of the indigo-ray energy center.

The indigo-ray energy center is fed, as are all energy centers, by experience but far more than the others is fed by what we have called the disciplines of the personality.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 72

Questioner: You mentioned that the large amount of light that is available.

Could this group, by proper ritual, use this for recharging the vital energy of the instrument?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. 

However, we caution against any working which raises up any personality; rather it is well to be fastidious in your working.

Questioner: Could you explain what you mean by “raises up any personality”?

Ra: I am Ra. Clues, we may offer. 

Explanation is infringement. 

We can only ask that you realize that all are One.

Questioner: Why is there no protection at the floor or bottom of the banishing ritual, and should there be?

Ra: I am Ra. This will be the last full query of this working.

The development of the psychic greeting is possible only through the energy centers starting from a station which you might call within the violet-ray moving through the adept’s energy center and therefrom towards the target of opportunity. 

Depending upon the vibratory nature and purpose of greeting, be it positive or negative, the entity will be energized or blocked in the desired way.

We of Ra approach this instrument in narrow band contact through violet-ray. 

Others might pierce down through this ray to any energy center. 

We, for instance, 
make great use of this instrument’s blue-ray energy center as we are attempting to communicate our distortion/understandings of the Law of One.

The entity of Orion 
pierces the same violet-ray and moves to two places to attempt most of its non-physical opportunities. 

It activates the green-ray energy center while further blocking indigo-ray energy center. 

This combination causes confusion in the instrument and subsequent overactivity in unwise proportions in physical complex workings. 

It simply seeks out the distortions preincarnatively programmed and developed in incarnative state.

The energies of life itself, 
being the one infinite Creator, flow from the south pole of the body seen in its magnetic form. 

Thus only the Creator may, 
through the feet, enter the energy shell of the body to any effect. 

The effects of the adept
are those from the upper direction and thus the building of the wall of light is quite propitious.

May we ask if there are any shorter queries at this time?

The Law of One, Book III, Session 73

Questioner: Thank you.

I would like to thank Ra at this time for the opportunity to be of service to those on this sphere who would want to have the information that we gain here.

You stated that free will, one-pointed in service-to-others had the potential of alerting a great mass of light strength.

I assume that the same holds precisely true for the service-to-self polarity.

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect but subtly so.

In invocation and evocation of what may be termed negative entities or qualities the expression alerts the positively oriented equivalent.

However, those upon the service-to-others path wait to be called and can only send love.

Questioner: What I was trying to get at was that this alerting of light strength is, as I see it, a process that must be totally a function of free will, as you say, and as the desire and will and purity of desire of the adept increases, the alerting of light strength increases.

Is this part of it the same for both the positive and negative potentials and am I correct with this statement?

Ra: I am Ra. To avoid confusion we shall simply restate for clarity your correct assumption.

Those who are upon the service-to-others path
may call upon the light strength in direct proportion to the strength and purity of their will to serve.

Those upon the service-to-self path
may call upon the dark strength in direct proportion to the strength and purity of their will to serve.

Questioner: I will undoubtedly make many errors in my statements today because what I am trying to do is guess at how this works and let you correct me.

In considering the exercise of the Middle Pillar I have thought it might be wrong in that in it the adept sees or visualizes the light moving downward from the crown chakra down to the feet.

Ra has stated that the Creator enters from the feet and moves upward, that this spiraling light enters from the feet and moves upward.

It seems to me that the adept alerting the light strength, in visualizing the use of this,
would visualize it entering the feet and energizing first, the red energy center and
then moving upward through the energy centers in that fashion.

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

Questioner: Could you tell me where I am wrong in that statement?

Ra: I am Ra. Yes.

Questioner: Would you please do that?

Ra: I am Ra. There are two concepts with which you deal.

The first is the great way of the development of the light in the microcosmic mind/body/spirit.

It is assumed that an adept will have its energy centers functioning smoothly and in a balanced manner to its best effort before a magical working.

All magical workings are based upon evocation and/or invocation.

The first invocation of any magical working is that invocation of the magical personality as you are familiar with this term.

In the working of which you speak the first station is the beginning of the invocation of this magical personality which is invoked by the motion of putting on something.

Since you do not have an item of apparel or talisman the gesture which you have made is appropriate.

The second station is the evocation of the great cross of life.

This is an extension of the magical personality to become the Creator.

Again, all invocations and evocations are drawn through the violet energy center.

This may then be continued towards whatever energy centers are desired to be used.

Questioner: Then will you speak of the difference between the spiraling light that enters through the feet and the light invoked through the crown chakra?

Ra: I am Ra.
The action of the upward spiraling light
drawn by the will to meet the inner light of the one infinite Creator may be likened to the beating of the heart and the movement of the muscles surrounding the lungs and all the other functions of the parasympathetic nervous system. 

The calling of the adept
may be likened to those nerve and muscle actions over which the mind/body/spirit complex has conscious control.

Questioner: Previously you stated that where the two directions meet you have a measure of the development of the particular mind/body/spirit complex. Am I correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: It would seem to me that the visualization of the invocation would be dependent upon what the use was to be of the light.

The use could be for healing, communication, or for the general awareness of the creation and the Creator.

Would you please speak on this process and my correctness in making this assumption?

Ra: I am Ra. We shall offer some thoughts though it is doubtful that we may exhaust this subject.

Each visualization, regardless of the point of the working, begins with some work within the indigo-ray.

As you may be aware, the ritual which you have begun is completely working within the indigo-ray.

This is well for it is the gateway.
From this beginning light may be invoked for communication or for healing.

You may note that in the ritual which we offered you to properly begin the Ra workings the first focus is upon the Creator.

We would further note a point which is both subtile and of some interest.

The upward spiraling light developed in its path by the will, and ultimately reaching an high place of mating with the inward fire of the one Creator, still is only preparation for the work upon the mind/body/spirit which may be done by the adept.

There is some crystallization of the energy centers used during each working so that the magician becomes more and more that which it seeks. 

More importantly, the time/space mind/body/spirit analog, which is evoked as the magical personality, has its only opportunity to gain rapidly from the experience of the catalytic action available to the third-density space/time mind/body/spirit.

Thus the adept is aiding the Creator greatly by offering great catalyst to a greater portion of the creation which is identified as the mind/body/spirit totality of an entity.

Questioner: Desire and will are the factors in this process. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. We would add one quality.

In the magical personality desire, will, and polarity are the keys.

Questioner: Many so-called evangelists which we have in our society at present have great desire and very great will, and possibly great polarity, but it seems to me that in many cases that there is a lack of awareness that creates a less than effective working in the magical sense.

Am I correct in this analysis?

Ra: I am Ra. You are partially correct.

In examining the polarity of a service-to-others working the free will must be seen as paramount.

Those entities of which you speak are attempting to generate positive changes in consciousness while abridging free will.

This causes the blockage of the magical nature of the working except in those cases wherein an entity freely desires to accept the working of the evangelist, as you have called it.

Questioner: In the exercise of the fire I assume the healer would be working with the same energy that we spoke of as entering through the crown chakra. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct with some additional notation necessary for your thought in continuing this line of study.

When the magical personality has been seated in the green-ray energy center for healing work the energy then may be seen to be the crystalline center through which body energy is channeled.

Thus this particular form of healing uses both the energy of the adept and the energy of the upward spiraling light.

As the green-ray center becomes more brilliant, and we would note this brilliance does not imply over-activation but rather crystallization,

the energy of the green-ray center of the body complex spirals twice;

firstly, clockwise from

the green-ray energy center to
the right shoulder,
through the head,
the right elbow,
down through the solar plexus,
and to the left hand.

This sweeps all the body complex energy into a channel

which then rotates the great circle clockwise again from right—we correct this instrument—from the left

to the feet,
to the right hand,
to the crown,
to the left hand,
and so forth.

Thus the in-coming body energy,
crystallized, regularized, and channeled by the adept’s personality reaching to the green-ray energy center, may then pour out the combined energies of the adept which is incarnate thus offering the service of healing to an entity requesting that service.

This basic situation is accomplished as well when there is an entity which is working through a channel to heal.

Questioner: Can you tell me how this transfer of light, I believe it would be, would affect the patient to be healed?

Ra: I am Ra. The effect is that of polarization.

The entity may or may not accept any percentage of this polarized life-energy which is being offered.

In the occasion of the laying on of hands this energy is more specifically channeled and the opportunity for acceptance of this energy similarly more specific.

It may be seen that the King’s Chamber effect is not attempted in this form of working but rather the addition to one, whose energies are low, of the opportunity for the building up of those energies.

Many of your distortions called illnesses may be aided by such means.

Questioner: As a general statement which you can correct, the overall picture, as I see it, of the healer and patient is that 

the one to be healed 
has, because of a blockage in one of the energy centers or more—we will just consider one particular problem—
because of this energy center blockage the upward spiraling light which creates one of the seven bodies has been blocked from the maintenance of that body, and 
this has resulted in the distortion from the perfection of that body which we call disease or a bodily anomaly which is other than perfect. 

The healer, 
having suitably configured its energy centers, is able to channel light, the downward pouring light, through its properly configured energy centers to the one to be healed. 

If the one to be healed 
has the mental configuration of acceptance of this light, the light then enters the physical complex and re-configures the distortion that is created by the original blockage. 

I am sure that I have made some mistakes in all this. 

Would you please correct them?

Ra: I am Ra. Your mistakes were small. 

We would not, at this time, attempt a great deal of refinement of that statement as there is preliminary material which will undoubtedly come forward. 

We may say that there are various forms of healing.

In many, only the energy of the adept is used. 

In the exercise of fire 
some physical complex energy is also channeled.

We might note further that when the one wishing to be healed, though sincere, remains unhealed, as you call this distortion, you may consider preincarnative choices and your more helpful aid to such an entity may be the suggestion that it meditate upon the affirmative uses of whatever limitations it might experience. 

We would also note that in these cases the indigo-ray workings are often of aid.

Other than these notes, we do not wish to further comment upon your statement at this working.

Questioner: It seems to me that the primary thing of importance for those on the service-to-others path is the development of an attitude which I can only describe as a vibration. 

This attitude would be developed through meditation, ritual, and the developing appreciation for the creation or Creator which results in a state of mind that can only be expressed by me as an increase in vibration or oneness with all. 

Could you expand and correct that statement?

Ra: I am Ra. We shall not correct this statement but shall expand upon it by suggesting that to those qualities you may add the living day by day and moment by moment, for the true adept lives more and more as it is.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 74

Questioner: I have a statement here that I am going to make and let you correct. 

I see that the disciplines of the personality feed the indigo-ray energy center and affect the power of the white magician by unblocking the lower energy centers allowing for the free flow of the upward spiraling light to reach the indigo center. 

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

Questioner: Will you please correct me?

Ra: I am Ra. The indigo center is indeed most important for the work of the adept. 

However, it cannot, no matter how crystallized, correct to any extent whatsoever imbalances or blockages in other energy centers. 

They must needs be cleared seriatim from red upwards.

Questioner: I’m not sure exactly if I understand this. 

The question is how do disciplines of the personality feed the indigo-ray energy center and affect the power of the white magician? 

Does that question make sense?

Ra: I am Ra. Yes.

Questioner: Would you answer it please?

Ra: I am Ra. We would be happy to answer this query. 

We understood the previous query as being of other import. 

The indigo ray is the ray of the adept. 

There is an identification between the crystallization of that energy center and the improvement of the working of the mind/body/spirit as it begins to transcend space/time balancing and to enter the combined realms of space/time and time/space.

Questioner: Let me see if I have a wrong opinion here of the effect of disciplines of the personality. 

I was assuming that the discipline of the personality to, shall we say, have a balanced attitude toward a single fellow entity would properly clear and balance, to some extent, the orange-ray energy center. 

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. We cannot say that you speak incorrectly but merely less than completely. 

The disciplined personality, 
when faced with an other-self, has all centers balanced according to its unique balance. 

Thusly the other-self looks in a mirror seeing its self.

Questioner: The disciplines of the personality are the paramount work of any who have become consciously aware of the process of evolution. 

Am I correct on that statement?

Ra: I am Ra. Quite.

Questioner: What I am trying to get at is how these disciplines affect the energy centers and the power of the white magician. 

Will you tell me how that works?

Ra: I am Ra. 

The heart of the discipline of the personality is threefold. 

One, know your self. 
Two, accept your self. 
Three, become the Creator.

The third step is that step 
which, when accomplished, renders one the most humble servant of all, transparent in personality and completely able to know and accept other-selves. 

In relation to the pursuit of the magical working the continuing discipline of the personality involves the adept in knowing its self, accepting its self, and thus clearing the path towards the great indigo gateway to the Creator. 

To become the Creator is to become all that there is. 

There is, then, no personality in the sense with which the adept begins its learn/teaching. 

As the consciousness of the indigo ray becomes more crystalline, more work may be done; more may be expressed from intelligent infinity.

Questioner: You stated that a working of service to others has the potential of alerting a great mass of light strength.

Could you describe just exactly how this works and what the uses of this would be?

Ra: I am Ra. There are sound vibratory complexes which act much like the dialing of your telephone.

When they are appropriately vibrated with accompanying will and concentration it is as though many upon your metaphysical or inner planes received a telephone call.

This call they answer by their attention to your working.

Questioner: There are many of these.

The ones most obvious in our society are those used in the church rather than those used by the magical adept.

What is the difference in the effect in those used in our various churches and those specifically magical incantations used by the adept?

Ra: I am Ra.

If all in your churches were adepts consciously full
of will,
of seeking,
of concentration,
of conscious knowledge of the calling,

there would be no difference.

The efficacy of the calling is a function of the magical qualities of those who call; that is, their desire to seek the altered state of consciousness desired.

Questioner: In selecting the protective ritual we finally agreed upon the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram.

I assume that these sound vibratory complexes are of the type of which you speak for the alerting of those on the inner planes. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: If we had constructed a ritual of our own with words used for the first time in this sequence of protection what would have been the relative merit of this with respect to the ritual that we chose?

Ra: I am Ra. It would be less.

In constructing ritual it is well to study the body of written work which is available for names of positive or service to others power are available.

Questioner: I will make an analogy to the loudness of the ringing of the telephone in using the ritual as the efficiency of the practitioners using the ritual.

I see several things affecting the efficiency of the ritual:

first, the desire of the practitioners to serve,
their ability to invoke the magical personality,
their ability to visualize while performing the ritual,

and let me ask you as to the relative importance of those items and how each may be intensified?

Ra: I am Ra. This query borders upon over-specificity.

It is most important for the adept to feel its own growth as teach/learner.

We may only say that you correctly surmise the paramount import of the magical personality.

This is a study in itself.

With the appropriate emotional will, polarity, and purity, work may be done with or without proper sound vibration complexes.

However, there is no need for the blunt instrument when the scalpel is available.

Questioner: I assume that the reason that the rituals that have been used previously are of effect is that these words have built a bias in consciousness of those who have worked in these areas so that those who are of a distortion of mind that we seek will respond to imprint in consciousness of this series of words. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is, to a great extent, correct.

The exception is the sounding of some of what you call your Hebrew and some of what you call you Sanskrit vowels.

These sound vibration complexes have power before time and space and represent configurations of light which built all that there is.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 75

Questioner: I am sorry for my confusion. 

Sometimes, as you say, sound vibration complexes are not very adequate.

The answer to this next question probably has to do with our distorted view of time, but as I see it, Wanderers in this density who come from the fifth-density or sixth-density should already be of a relatively high degree of adeptness and they must follow a slightly different path back to the adeptness that they once had in a higher density and get as close to it as they can in the third-density. 

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. Your query is less than perfectly focused. 

We shall address the subject in general.

There are many Wanderers whom you may call adepts who do no conscious work in the present incarnation. 

It is a matter of attention. 

One may be a fine catcher of your game sphere, but if the eye is not turned as this sphere is tossed then perchance it will pass the entity by. 

If it turned its eyes upon the sphere, catching would be easy. 

In the case of Wanderers which seek to recapitulate the degree of adeptness which each had acquired previous to this life experience, we may note that even after the forgetting process has been penetrated there is still the yellow activated body which does not respond as does the adept which is of a green- or blue-ray activated body.

Thusly, you may see the inevitability of frustrations and confusion due to the inherent difficulties of manipulating the finer forces of consciousness through the chemical apparatus of the yellow-ray activated body.

Questioner: You made the statement in a previous session that the true adept lives more and more as it is. 

Will you explain and expand more upon that statement?

Ra: I am Ra. Each entity is the Creator. 

The entity, as it becomes more and more conscious of its self, 
gradually comes to the turning point at which it determines to seek either in service to others or in service to self. 

The seeker becomes the adept when it has balanced with minimal adequacy the energy centers red, orange, yellow, and blue with the addition of the green for the positive, thus moving into indigo work.

The adept then 
begins to do less of the preliminary or outer work, having to do with function, and begins to effect the inner work which has to do with being. 

As the adept becomes a more and more consciously crystallized entity
it gradually manifests more and more of that which it always has been since before time; that is, the one infinite Creator.

Questioner: You mentioned in an earlier session that the hair was an antennae.

Could you expand on that statement as to how that works?

Ra: I am Ra. It is difficult to so do due to the metaphysical nature of this antennae-effect.

Your physics are concerned with measurements in your physical complex of experience.

The metaphysical nature of the contact of those in time/space
is such that the hair, as it has significant length, becomes as a type of electrical battery which stays charged and tuned and is then able to aid contact even when there are small anomalies in the contact.

Questioner: Is there an optimum length of hair for this aid?

Ra: I am Ra. There is no outer limit on length but the, shall we say, inner limit is approximately four to four and one-half inches depending upon the strength of the contact and the nature of the instrument.

Questioner: May anyone in third density accomplish some degree of healing if they have the proper will, desire, and polarity, or is there a minimal balance of the energy centers of the healer that is also necessary?

Ra: I am Ra. Any entity may at any time instantaneously clear and balance its energy centers.

Thus in many cases those normally quite blocked, weakened, and distorted may, through love and strength of will, become healers momentarily.

To be a healer by nature one must indeed train its self in the disciplines of the personality.

Questioner: How does the use of the magical ritual invoking the magical personality aid the mind/body/spirit complex totality?

Could you expand on the answer that you gave in the last session with respect to that?

Ra: I am Ra. When the magical personality is properly and efficaciously invoked the self has invoked its higher self.

Thus a bridge betwixt space/time and time/space is made and the sixth-density magical personality experiences directly the third-density catalyst for the duration of the working.

It is most central to deliberately take off the magical personality after the working in order that the higher self resume its appropriate configuration as analog to the space/time mind/body/spirit.

Questioner: Then you are saying that the act, signal, or key for the invoking of the magical personality which is the putting of something on or a gesture should also be as carefully taken off to reverse the gesture perhaps at the end of the invocation.

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

It should be fastidiously accomplished either in mind or by gesture as well if this is of significant aid.

Questioner: Now in the invocation of the magical personality it is not necessarily effective for the neophyte.

Is there a point at which there is a definite quantum change and that then the magical personality does reside in the neophyte, or can it be done in small degrees or percentages of magical personality as the neophyte becomes more adept?

Ra: I am Ra. The latter is correct.

Questioner: The three aspects of the magical personality are stated to be power, love, and wisdom.

Is this correct and are these the only primary aspects of the magical personality?

Ra: I am Ra. The three aspects of the magical personality, power, love, and wisdom, are so called in order that attention be paid to each aspect in developing the basic tool of the adept; that is, its self.

It is by no means a personality of three aspects.

It is a being of unity, a being of sixth density, and equivalent to what you call your higher self and at the same time is a personality enormously rich in variety of experience and subtlety of emotion.

The three aspects are given that the neophyte not abuse the tools of its trade but rather approach those tools balanced in the center of love and wisdom and thus seeking power in order to serve.

Questioner: Then is it correct that a good sequence for the developing of the magical personality would be alternate
meditations first on power, and then
a meditation on love, and then
a meditation on wisdom and then to continue cycling that way?

Ra: I am Ra. This is indeed an appropriate technique.

In this particular group there is an additional aid in that each entity manifests one of these qualities in a manner which approaches the archetype.

Thusly visualization may be personalized and much love and support within the group generated.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 76

Questioner: Has our use of the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram been of any value and what is its effect?

Ra: I am Ra. This group’s use of the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram has been increasingly efficacious. 

Its effect is purification, cleansing, and protection of the place of working.

The efficacy of this ritual is only beginning to be, shall we say, at the lower limits of the truly magical. 

In doing the working those aspiring to adepthood have done the equivalent of beginning the schoolwork, many grades ahead. 

For the intelligent student this is not to be discouraged; rather to be encouraged is the homework, the reading, the writing, the arithmetic, as you might metaphorically call the elementary steps towards the study of being. 

It is the being that informs the working, not the working that informs the being. 

Therefore, we may leave you to the work you have begun.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 79

Questioner: We have been ending our banishing ritual prior to the session by a gesture that relieves us of the magical personality.

I was just wondering if we should maintain this personality and omit that gesture while we are walking the Circle of One and then relinquish the magical personality only after the circle is formed or after the session? Which would be more appropriate?

Ra: I am Ra. The practice of magical workings demands the most rigorous honesty.

If your estimate of your ability is that you can sustain the magical personality throughout this working, it is well.

As long as you have some doubt it is inadvisable.

In any case it is appropriate for this instrument to return its magical personality rather than carry this persona into the trance state, for it does not have the requisite magical skill to function in this circumstance and would be far more vulnerable than if the waking personality is offered as channel.

This working is indeed magical in nature in the basic sense.

However, it is inappropriate to move more quickly than one’s feet may walk.

Questioner: I’m sorry that I have so much difficulty in asking these questions, but this is material that I find somewhat difficult.

I find it interesting that the very first experiment of veiling the Matrix of the Mind from the Potentiator of the Mind and visa-versa created service-to-self polarity. 

This seems to be a very important philosophical point in the development of the creation and possibly the beginning of a system of what we would call magic not envisioned previously.

Let me ask this question. 

Prior to the extension of the first distortion was the magical potential of the higher densities as great as it is now when the greatest potential was achieved in consciousness for each density? 

This is difficult to ask. 

What I am asking is that at the end of fourth density, prior to the extension of free will, was what we call magical potential as great as it is now at the end of fourth density?

Ra: I am Ra. As you understand, if we may use this misnomer, magic, the magical potential in third and fourth density was then far greater than after the change. 

However, there was far, far less desire or will to use this potential.

Questioner: Now, to be sure that I understand you: 

prior to the change and the extension of free will, let’s take specifically the end of fourth density, magical potential for the condition when there was only service-to-others polarization was much greater at the end of fourth density than at the end of fourth density immediately after the split of polarization and the extension of free will. 

Is that correct?

Ra: I am Ra. Magical ability is the ability to consciously use the so-called unconscious. 

Therefore, there was maximal ability prior to the innovation of sub-Logoi’s free will.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 85

Questioner: I am totally aware of the lack of necessity or rational need for naming of entities or things, but I was wondering if this particular entity had a name just so that we could increase our efficiency of communicating with respect to him. 

Does he have a name?

Ra: I am Ra. Yes.

Questioner: Would it be magically bad for us to know that name, or would it make no difference?

Ra: I am Ra. It would make a difference.

Questioner: What would the difference be?

Ra: I am Ra. If one wishes to have power over an entity it is an aid to know that entity’s name. 

If one wishes no power over an entity but wishes to collect that entity into the very heart of one’s own being it is well to forget the naming. 

Both processes are magically viable. 

Each is polarized in a specific way. 

It is your choice.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 89

Questioner: You stated that Ra used the tarot to develop the magical personality. 

Was this done to mentally become the essence of each archetype and in this way develop the magical personality?

Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect. 

The clothing one’s self within the archetype is an advanced practice of the adept which has long studied this archetypical system. 

The concept complexes which together are intended to represent the architecture of a significant and rich portion of the mind are intended to be studied as individual concept complexes as Matrix, Potentiator, etc., in viewing mind/body/spirit connections and in pairs with some concentration upon the polarity of the male and the female. 

If these are studied 
there comes the moment when the deep threnodies and joyful ditties of the deep mind can successfully be brought forward to intensify, articulate, and heighten some aspect of the magical personality.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 91

Questioner: Are these all of the components, then, of this first archetype?

Ra: I am Ra. These are all you, the student, see. 

Thusly the complement is complete for you. 

Each student may see some other nuance. 

We, as we have said, did not offer these images with boundaries but only as guidelines intending to aid the adept and to establish the architecture of the deep, or archetypical, portion of the deep mind.

Questioner: How is the knowledge of the facets of the archetypical mind used by the individual to accelerate his evolution?

Ra: I am Ra. We shall offer an example based upon this first explored archetype or concept complex. 

The conscious mind of the adept may be full to bursting of the most abstruse and unimaginable of ideas, so that further ideation becomes impossible and work in blue ray or indigo is blocked through over-activation. 

It is then that the adept would call upon the new mind, untouched and virgin, and dwell within the archetype of the new and unblemished mind without bias, without polarity, full of the magic of the Logos.

Questioner: Then you are saying, if I am correct in understanding what you have just said, that the conscious mind may be filled with an almost infinite number of concepts but there is a set of basic concepts which are what I would call important simply because they are the foundations for the evolution of consciousness, and will, if carefully applied, accelerate the evolution of consciousness, whereas the vast array of concepts, ideas, and experiences that we meet in our daily lives may have little or no bearing upon the evolution of consciousness except in a very indirect way. 

In other words, what we are attempting to do here is find the motivators of evolution and utilize them to move through our evolutionary track. 

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. Not entirely. 

The archetypes are not the foundation for spiritual evolution but rather are the tool for grasping in an undistorted manner the nature of this evolution.

Questioner: So for an individual who wished to consciously augment his own evolution, an ability to recognize and utilize the archetypes would be beneficial in sorting out that which he wishes to seek from that which would be not as efficient a seeking tool. 

Would this be a good statement?

Ra: I am Ra. This is a fairly adequate statement. 

The term “efficient” might also fruitfully be replaced by the term “undistorted.” 

The archetypical mind, when penetrated lucidly, is a blueprint of the builded structure of all energy expenditures and all seeking without distortion. 

This, as a resource within the deep mind, is of great potential aid to the adept.

We would ask for one more query at this space/time as this instrument is experiencing continuous surges of the distortion you call pain and we wish to take our leave of the working while the instrument still possesses a sufficient amount of transferred energy to ease the transition to the waking state, if you would call it that.

The Law of One, Book V, Fragment 55
Session 105, October 19, 1983

Questioner: Could you please tell me what caused Jim’s kidney problem to return, and what can be done to heal it?

Ra: I am Ra. The entity, Jim, determined that it would cleanse itself and thus would spend time/space and space/time in pursuit and contemplation of perfection.

The dedication to this working was intensified until the mind/body/spirit complex rang in harmony with this intention.

The entity did not grasp the literal way in which metaphysical intentions are translated by the body complex of one working in utter unity of purpose.

The entity began the period of prayer, fasting, penitence, and rejoicing.

The body complex, which was not yet fully recovered from the nephrotic syndrome, began to systematically cleanse each organ, sending all the detritus that was not perfect through kidneys which were not given enough liquid to dilute the toxins being released.

The toxins stayed with the body complex and reactivated a purely physical illness.

There is no metaphysical portion in this relapse.

The healing is taking place in manifestation of an affirmation of body complex health which, barring untoward circumstance, shall be completely efficacious.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 64

Questioner: Then we won’t question on it.

Could you explain the basic principles behind the ritual which we perform to initiate the contact and what I would call the basic white magical principles of protection?

Ra: I am Ra. Due to your avenue of question we perceive the appropriateness of inclusion of the cause of this instrument’s transitory vital energy distortion.

The cause is a bias towards the yearning for expression of devotion to the one Creator in group worship.

This entity was yearning for this protection both consciously in that it responds to the accoutrements of this expression, the ritual, the colors and their meanings as given by the distortion system of what you call the church, the song of praise, and the combined prayers of thanksgiving and, most of all, that which may be seen to be most centrally magical, the intake of that food which is not of this dimension but has been transmuted into metaphysical nourishment in what this distortion of expression calls the holy communion.

The subconscious reason, it being the stronger for this yearning was the awareness that such expression is, when appreciated by an entity as the transmutation into the presence of the one Creator, a great protection of the entity as it moves in the path of service-to-others.

The principle behind any ritual of the white magical nature is to so
configure the stimuli which reach down into the trunk of mind that this arrangement causes the generation of disciplined and purified emotion or love which then may be both protection and the key to the gateway to intelligent infinity.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 68

Questioner: Could you tell me what the plan of the fifth-density negatively oriented entity was and how it would have accomplished it and what the results would have been if it had worked?

Ra: I am Ra. The plan, which is on-going, was to take the mind/body/spirit complex while it was separated from its yellow body physical complex shell, to then place this mind/body/spirit complex within the negative portions of your time/space. 

The shell would then become that of the unknowing, unconscious entity and could be, shall we say, worked upon to cause malfunction which would end in coma and then in what you call the death of the body. 

At this point the higher self of the instrument would have the choice of leaving the mind/body/spirit complex in negative sp—we correct—time/space or of allowing incarnation in space/time of equivalent vibration and polarity distortions. 

Thus this entity would become a negatively polarized entity without the advantage of native negative polarization. 

It would find a long path to the Creator under these circumstances although the path would inevitably end well.

Questioner: Then you are saying that if this fifth-density negative entity is successful in its attempts to transfer the mind/body/spirit complex when that complex is in what we call the trance state to negatively polarized time/space, then the higher self has no choice but to allow incarnation in negatively polarized space/time? 

Is that correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect. 

The higher self could allow the mind/body/spirit complex to remain in time/space. 

However, it is unlikely that the higher self would do so indefinitely due to its distortion towards the belief that the function of the mind/body/spirit complex is to experience and learn from other-selves thus experiencing the Creator. 

A highly polarized positive mind/body/spirit complex surrounded by negative portions of space/time will experience only darkness, for like the magnet, there is no, shall we say, likeness. 

Thus a barrier is automatically formed.

Questioner: Let me be sure that I understand you. 

Is that darkness experienced in negative space/time or in negative time/space?

Ra: I am Ra. Negative time/space.

Questioner: Incarnation in negative space/time then in a condition like that would result in incarnation into which density level for, let us take as an example, the instrument?

Ra: I am Ra. The answer to this query violates the first distortion.

Questioner: OK then, let’s not take the instrument as an example.

Let’s assume that this was done to a Wanderer of sixth-density.

If this answer violates the first distortion, don’t answer. But let’s say a sixth-density Wanderer had this happen and went into negative time/space.

Would that be a sixth-density negative time/space, and would he incarnate into sixthdensity negative space/time?

Ra: I am Ra. Your assumption is correct.

The strength of the polarization would be matched as far as possible.

In some positive sixth-density Wanderers the approximation would not quite be complete due to the paucity of negative sixth-density energy fields of the equivalent strength.

Questioner: Is the reason that this could be done the fact that the Wanderer’s mind/body/spirit complex extracted in what we call the trance state, leaving the third-density physical, in this state the Wanderer does not have the full capability to magically defend itself? Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. In the case of this instrument, this is correct.

This is also correct when applied almost without exception to those instruments working in trance which have not consciously experienced magical training in time/space in the, shall we say, present incarnation.

The entities of your density capable of magical defense in this situation are extremely rare.

Questioner: It would seem to me that since I can’t imagine anything worse than this particular result it would be very advisable to seek the magical training and defense for this situation.

Could Ra and would Ra instruct us in this type of magical defense?

Ra: I am Ra. This request lies beyond the first distortion.

The entity seeking magical ability must do so in a certain manner.

We may give instructions of a general nature.

This we have already done.

The instrument has begun the process of balancing the self.

This is a lengthy process.

To take an entity before it is ready and offer it the scepter of magical power is to infringe in an unbalanced manner.

We may suggest with some asperity that the instrument never call upon Ra in any way while unprotected by the configuration which is at this time present.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 69

Questioner: There are many techniques and ways of practicing so-called white magical arts.

Are rituals designed by a particular group for their own particular use just as good or possibly better than those that have been practiced by groups such as the Order of the Golden Dawn and other magical groups?

Ra: I am Ra. Although we are unable to speak with precision on this query, we may note some gratification that the questioner has penetrated some of the gist of a formidable system of service and discipline.

I am Ra.

May we thank you again, my friends, for your conscientiousness.

All is well.

We leave you rejoicing in the power and the peace of the one infinite Creator.

Go forth with joy.

Adonai.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 71

Questioner: You have made the statement that pure negativity acts as a gravity well pulling all into it.

I was wondering first if pure positivity has precisely the same effect?

Could you answer that please?

Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect.

Positivity has a much weaker effect due to the strong element of recognition of free will in any positivity approaching purity.

Thus although the negatively oriented entity may find it difficult to polarize negatively in the midst of such resounding harmony it will not find it impossible.

Upon the other hand, the negative polarization is one which does not accept the concept of the free will of other-selves.

Thusly in a social complex whose negativity approaches purity the pull upon other-selves is constant.

A positively oriented entity in such a situation would desire for other-selves to have their free will and thusly would find itself removed from its ability to exercise its own free will, for the free will of negatively oriented entities is bent upon conquest.

Questioner: Could you please comment on the accuracy of these statements.

I am going to talk in general about the concept of magic and first define it as the ability to create changes in consciousness at will.

Is this an acceptable definition?

Ra: I am Ra. This definition is acceptable in that it places upon the adept the burden it shall bear.

It may be better understood by referring back to an earlier query, in your measurement, within this working having to do with the unmanifested self.

In magic one is working with one’s unmanifested self in body, in mind, and in spirit; the mixture depending upon the nature of the working.

These workings are facilitated by the enhancement of the activation of the indigo-ray energy center.

The indigo-ray energy center
is fed, as are all energy centers, by experience but far more than the others is fed by what we have called the disciplines of the personality.

Questioner: I will state that the objective of the white magical ritual is to create a change in consciousness of a group. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. Not necessarily.

It is possible for what you term white magic to be worked for the purpose of altering only the self or the place of working.

This is done in the knowledge that to aid the self in polarization towards love and light is to aid the planetary vibration.

Questioner: The change in consciousness should result in a greater distortion towards service-to-others, towards unity with all, and towards knowing in order to serve.

Is this correct, and are there any other desired results?

Ra: I am Ra. These are commendable phrases.

The heart of white magic is the experience of the joy of union with the Creator.

This joy will of necessity radiate throughout the life experience of the positive adept.

It is for this reason that sexual magic is not restricted solely to the negatively oriented polarizing adepts but when most carefully used has its place in high magic as it, when correctly pursued, joins body, mind, and spirit with the one infinite Creator.

Any purpose which you may frame should, we suggest, take into consideration this basic union with the one infinite Creator, for this union will result in service-to-others of necessity.

Questioner: There are, shall I say, certain rules of white magic.

I will read these few and I would like you to comment on the philosophical content or basis of these and add to this list any of importance that I have neglected.

First, a special place of working preferably constructed by the practitioners; 
second, a special signal or key such as a ring to summon the magical personality;
third, special clothing worn only for the workings;
fourth, a specific time of day;
fifth, a series of ritual sound vibratory complexes designed to create the desired mental distortion;
sixth, a group objective for each session.

Could you comment on this list please?

Ra: I am Ra. To comment upon this list is to play the mechanic which views the instruments of the orchestra and adjusts and tunes the instruments.

You will note these are mechanical details.

The art does not lie herein.

The one item of least import is what you call the time of day.

This is important in those experiential nexi wherein the entities search for the metaphysical experience without conscious control over the search.

The repetition of workings gives this search structure.

In this particular group the structure is available without the need for inevitable sameness of times of working.

We may note that this regularity is always helpful.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 74

Questioner: I have a statement here that I am going to make and let you correct. 

I see that the disciplines of the personality feed the indigo-ray energy center and affect the power of the white magician by unblocking the lower energy centers allowing for the free flow of the upward spiraling light to reach the indigo center. 

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

Questioner: Will you please correct me?

Ra: I am Ra. The indigo center is indeed most important for the work of the adept. 

However, it cannot, no matter how crystallized, correct to any extent whatsoever imbalances or blockages in other energy centers. 

They must needs be cleared seriatim from red upwards.

Questioner: I’m not sure exactly if I understand this. 

The question is how do disciplines of the personality feed the indigo-ray energy center and affect the power of the white magician? 

Does that question make sense?

Ra: I am Ra. Yes.

Questioner: Would you answer it please?

Ra: I am Ra. We would be happy to answer this query. 

We understood the previous query as being of other import. 

The indigo ray is the ray of the adept. 

There is an identification between the crystallization of that energy center and the improvement of the working of the mind/body/spirit as it begins to transcend space/time balancing and to enter the combined realms of space/time and time/space.

Questioner: Let me see if I have a wrong opinion here of the effect of disciplines of the personality. 

I was assuming that the discipline of the personality to, shall we say, have a balanced attitude toward a single fellow entity would properly clear and balance, to some extent, the orange-ray energy center. 

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. We cannot say that you speak incorrectly but merely less than completely. 

The disciplined personality, 
when faced with an other-self, has all centers balanced according to its unique balance. 

Thusly the other-self looks in a mirror seeing its self.

Questioner: The disciplines of the personality are the paramount work of any who have become consciously aware of the process of evolution. 

Am I correct on that statement?

Ra: I am Ra. Quite.

Questioner: What I am trying to get at is how these disciplines affect the energy centers and the power of the white magician. 

Will you tell me how that works?

Ra: I am Ra. 

The heart of the discipline of the personality is threefold. 

One, know your self. 
Two, accept your self. 
Three, become the Creator.

The third step is that step 
which, when accomplished, renders one the most humble servant of all, transparent in personality and completely able to know and accept other-selves. 

In relation to the pursuit of the magical working the continuing discipline of the personality involves the adept in knowing its self, accepting its self, and thus clearing the path towards the great indigo gateway to the Creator. 

To become the Creator is to become all that there is. 

There is, then, no personality in the sense with which the adept begins its learn/teaching. 

As the consciousness of the indigo ray becomes more crystalline, more work may be done; more may be expressed from intelligent infinity.

Questioner: You stated that a working of service to others has the potential of alerting a great mass of light strength. 

Could you describe just exactly how this works and what the uses of this would be?

Ra: I am Ra. There are sound vibratory complexes which act much like the dialing of your telephone. 

When they are appropriately vibrated with accompanying will and concentration it is as though many upon your metaphysical or inner planes received a telephone call. 

This call they answer by their attention to your working.

Questioner: There are many of these. 

The ones most obvious in our society are those used in the church rather than those used by the magical adept.

What is the difference in the effect in those used in our various churches and those specifically magical incantations used by the adept?

Ra: I am Ra. 

If all in your churches were adepts consciously full 
of will, 
of seeking, 
of concentration, 
of conscious knowledge of the calling, 

there would be no difference. 

The efficacy of the calling is a function of the magical qualities of those who call; that is, their desire to seek the altered state of consciousness desired.

Questioner: In selecting the protective ritual we finally agreed upon the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram. 

I assume that these sound vibratory complexes are of the type of which you speak for the alerting of those on the inner planes. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: If we had constructed a ritual of our own with words used for the first time in this sequence of protection what would have been the relative merit of this with respect to the ritual that we chose?

Ra: I am Ra. It would be less. 

In constructing ritual it is well to study the body of written work which is available for names of positive or service to others power are available.

Questioner: I will make an analogy to the loudness of the ringing of the telephone in using the ritual as the efficiency of the practitioners using the ritual. 

I see several things affecting the efficiency of the ritual: 

first, the desire of the practitioners to serve,
their ability to invoke the magical personality, 
their ability to visualize while performing the ritual, 

and let me ask you as to the relative importance of those items and how each may be intensified?

Ra: I am Ra. This query borders upon over-specificity. 

It is most important for the adept to feel its own growth as teach/learner.

We may only say that you correctly surmise the paramount import of the magical personality. 

This is a study in itself. 

With the appropriate emotional will, polarity, and purity, work may be done with or without proper sound vibration complexes. 

However, there is no need for the blunt instrument when the scalpel is available.

Questioner: I assume that the reason that the rituals that have been used previously are of effect is that these words have built a bias in consciousness of those who have worked in these areas so that those who are of a distortion of mind that we seek will respond to imprint in consciousness of this series of words. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is, to a great extent, correct. 

The exception is the sounding of some of what you call your Hebrew and some of what you call you Sanskrit vowels.

These sound vibration complexes have power before time and space and represent configurations of light which built all that there is.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 79

Questioner: Now, to be sure that I understand you: 

prior to the change and the extension of free will, let’s take specifically the end of fourth density, magical potential for the condition when there was only service-to-others polarization was much greater at the end of fourth density than at the end of fourth density immediately after the split of polarization and the extension of free will. 

Is that correct?

Ra: I am Ra. Magical ability is the ability to consciously use the so-called unconscious. 

Therefore, there was maximal ability prior to the innovation of sub-Logoi’s free will.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 85

Questioner: I am totally aware of the lack of necessity or rational need for naming of entities or things, but I was wondering if this particular entity had a name just so that we could increase our efficiency of communicating with respect to him. 

Does he have a name?

Ra: I am Ra. Yes.

Questioner: Would it be magically bad for us to know that name, or would it make no difference?

Ra: I am Ra. It would make a difference.

Questioner: What would the difference be?

Ra: I am Ra. If one wishes to have power over an entity it is an aid to know that entity’s name. 

If one wishes no power over an entity but wishes to collect that entity into the very heart of one’s own being it is well to forget the naming. 

Both processes are magically viable. 

Each is polarized in a specific way. 

It is your choice.

The Law of One, Book I, Session 16

Questioner: I am assuming that it is not necessary for an individual to understand the Law of One to go from the third to the fourth density. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. It is absolutely necessary that an entity consciously realize it does not understand in order for it to be harvestable.

Understanding is not of this density.

Questioner: That is a very important point.

I used the wrong word.

What I meant to say was that I believed that it was not necessary for an entity to be consciously aware of the Law of One to go from the third to the fourth density.

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

The Law of One, Book I, Session 17

Questioner: Is it possible by the use of some technique or other to help an entity to reach fourth-density level in these last days?

Ra: I am Ra. It is impossible to help another being directly.

It is only possible to make catalyst available in whatever form, the most important being the radiation of realization of oneness with the Creator from the self, less important being information such as we share with you.

We, ourselves, do not feel an urgency for this information to be widely disseminated.

It is enough that we have made it available to three, four, or five.

This is extremely ample reward, for if one of these obtains fourth-density understanding due to this catalyst then we shall have fulfilled the Law of One in the distortion of service.

We encourage a dispassionate attempt to share information without concern for numbers or quick growth among others.

That you attempt to make this information available is, in your terms, your service.

The attempt, if it reaches one, reaches all. 

We cannot offer shortcuts to enlightenment.

Enlightenment is, of the moment, an opening to intelligent infinity. 

It can only be accomplished by the self, for the self.

Another self cannot teach/learn enlightenment, but 
only teach/learn
information,
inspiration, or
a sharing of love,
of mystery, 
of the unknown

that makes the other-self reach out and begin the seeking process that ends in a moment, but who can know when an entity will open the gate to the present?

Questioner: If an entity wants to be of service to others rather than service to self while he is in this third density, are there “best ways” of being of service to others, or is any way just as good as any other way?

Ra: I am Ra. The best way to be of service to others has been explicitly covered in previous material.

We will iterate briefly.

The best way of service to others is the constant attempt to seek to share the love of the Creator as it is known to the inner self.

This involves self knowledge and the ability to open the self to the other-self without hesitation.

This involves, shall we say, radiating that which is the essence or the heart of the mind/body/spirit complex.

Speaking to the intention of your question, the best way for each seeker in third density to be of service to others is unique to that mind/body/spirit complex.

This means that the mind/body/spirit complex must then seek within itself the intelligence of its own discernment as to the way it may best serve other-selves.

This will be different for each.

There is no best. 
There is no generalization.
Nothing is known.

Questioner: I would like to make a point clear now that I am sure of myself.

The people of this planet, following any religion or no religion at all, or having no intellectual knowledge at all of the Law of One, can still be harvested into the fourth density if they are of that vibration.

Is that not correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

However, you will find few who are harvestable whose radiance does not cause others to be aware of their, what you may call, spirituality, the quality of the mind/body/spirit complex distortion.

Thus, it is not particularly probable that an entity would be completely unknown to his immediate acquaintances as an unusually radiant personality, even were this individual not caught up in any of the distortions of your so-called religious systems.

The Law of One, Book II, Session 27

Questioner: I would like for you to define love in its sense as the second distortion.

Ra: I am Ra. This must be defined against the background of intelligent infinity or unity or the one Creator with the primal distortion of free will.

The term Love then may be seen as the focus, the choice of attack, the type of energy of an extremely, shall we say, high order which causes intelligent energy to be formed from the potential of intelligent infinity in just such and such a way. 

This then may be seen to be an object rather than an activity by some of your peoples, and the principle of this extremely strong energy focus being worshipped as the Creator instead of unity or oneness from which all Loves emanate.

Questioner: Is there a manifestation of love that we could call vibration?

Ra: I am Ra. Again we reach semantic difficulties. 

The vibration or density of love or understanding is not a term used in the same sense as the second distortion, 

Love; the distortion Love 
being the great activator and primal co-Creator of various creations using intelligent infinity; 

the vibration love 
being that density in which those who have learned to do an activity called “loving” without significant distortion, then seek the ways of light or wisdom. 

Thus in vibratory sense love comes into light in the sense of the activity of unity in its free will. 

Love uses light and has the power to direct light in its distortions. 

Thus vibratory complexes recapitulate in reverse the creation in its unity, thus showing the rhythm or flow of the great heartbeat, if you will use this analogy.
