This includes more than 1,500 channeling transcripts, a dozen published books, newsletters, speeches, journals, and more.

About the Authors

Don Elkins was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1930. He held a B.S. and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering as well as a general engineering M.S. from Speed Scientific School, and a PhD in philosophy from an English university, and was Professor of Physics and Engineering at the University of Louisville for twelve years, and founder and head of the University of Alaska’s mechanical engineering department in 1960-61.

He served with distinction in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. In 1965 he left his position as tenured professor in order to give himself more time for the UFO and paranormal research, and became a Boeing 727 pilot, eventually Captain, for a major airline until his death in 1984.

Don began the work of L/L Research solo in 1955 using age regression hypnosis to research reincarnation. He talked with and visited UFO contactees all over the United States, often piloting his own small plane, and investigated the many areas of paranormal study into which UFOs led him through the years, corresponding with and visiting a wide variety of scholars and researchers as well as experiencers, abductees and many others defying categorization throughout his very active career as a researcher.

In 1962, Don began an experiment in channeling using material he had found from a contactee group in Detroit, MI, that was publishing a channeling series entitled Man, Consciousness and Understanding, on starting a “UFO contactee group” without needing actual contact from a physical UFO.

This experiment continues in an unbroken line today as our weekly meditation and study group, where we work with meditation and collecting non-trance telepathic channeling from allegedly extraterrestrial sources.

Don published some of his UFO research in the book Secrets Of The UFO. The Law Of One books contain our group’s collected sessions with those of Ra, and represent the best of the L/L Research channeling in terms of level of contact, and the bulk of what Don considered his own life’s work.

Carla L. Rueckert (McCarty) was born in 1943 in Lake Forest, Illinois. She completed undergraduate studies in English Literature at the University of Louisville in 1966 and master’s degree studies in Library Service in 1971. She served as librarian and bibliographer to college and school libraries for six years. She was a meditator with the group Don started in early 1962, and became partners with Don in L/L Research in 1968. In 1970, she turned full-time to assisting Don with his research.

She read and abstracted books and periodicals, and did correspondence and writing for Don. In 1974, she began channeling and continued unceasingly in that effort until she was stopped in 2011 by a spinal fusion surgery.

During four of those thirty-seven years of channeling, 1981 – 1984, Carla served as the instrument for the Ra Contact. In 1987, she married Jim McCarty and together they continued the mission of L/L Research. Carla passed into larger life on April 1, 2015.

James McCarty was born in 1947 in Kearney, Nebraska. After receiving an undergraduate degrees from the University of Nebraska at Kearney and an M.S. in Early Childhood Education from the University of Florida, Jim moved to a piece of wilderness in Marion County, Kentucky, to build his own log cabin in the woods and to develop a self-sufficient lifestyle.

For the next six years, he was in almost complete retreat. He founded the Rock Creek Research and Development Laboratories in 1977 to further his teaching efforts. After experimenting, decided that he preferred the methods and directions he had found in studying with L/L Research in 1978 and 1979.

In 1980, he joined his research with Don’s and Carla’s and the legal entity that we are now comes from this joining of Jim’s non-profit charity, The Rock Creek Research and Development Laboratories, with L/L Research in 1982. We use Rock Creek as our legal name, and do business as L/L Research. Jim and Carla were married in 1987. Jim has a wide L/L correspondence and creates wonderful gardens and stonework.

He enjoys history, beauty, nature, dance and silence.

Ra's Comment on the Dissemination of The Law of One Material by The Above Entities (L/L Research)

The Law of One, Book I, Session 1
January 15, 1981

Questioner: Will you be available for communication?

Can we call on you in the future?

Ra: I am Ra. We have good contact with this instrument because of her recent experiences with trance.

She is to be able to communicate our thoughts in your future.

However, we advise care in disturbing the channel for a few moments and then the proper procedure for aiding an instrument who has, to some extent, the need of re-entering the mind/body/spirit complex which the instrument has chosen for the life experience of this time/space.

Do you understand how to nurture this instrument?

Questioner: No. Could you explain it?

Ra: We suggest first a brief period of silence.

Then the repetition of the instrument’s vibratory complex of sound in your density which you call name.

Repeat until an answer is obtained.

Then the laying on of the hands at the neck region for a brief period so that the instrument may recharge batteries which are not, shall we say, full of the essence of this particular field at this time.

And finally, a gift of water into which the love of all present has been given.

This will restore this entity, for her distortions contain great sensitivity towards the vibrations of love and the charged water will effect comfort.

Do you now understand?

Questioner: Not completely.

Ra: I am Ra. We search your mind to find the vibration (nickname).

It is this vibration from you which contains the largest amount of what you would call love.

Others would call this entity (first name).

The charging of the water is done by those present placing their hands over the glass and visualizing the power of love entering the water.

This will charge that very effective medium with those vibrations.

This instrument is, at this time, quite fatigued.

However, her heart is such that she continues to remain open to us and useful as a channel.

This is why we have spent the time/space explaining how the distortions of what you may call fatigue may be ameliorated.

Under no circumstances should this instrument be touched until she has responded to her name.

I do not wish to take this instrument beyond her capacity for physical energy. It grows low.

Therefore, I must leave this instrument.

I leave you in the glory and peace of unity.

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

I am Ra.

The Law of One, Book I, Session 2

Questioner: Consider them asked. I don’t have anything to go on. 

What is the proper use of this instrument? What should we do? 

What should we do to maximize her ability and her comfort?

Ra: I am Ra. We are pleased that you have asked this question for it is not our understanding that we have the right/duty to share our perceptions on any subject but philosophy without direct question. 

However, this mind/body/spirit is not being correctly used and therefore is experiencing unnecessary distortions of body in the area of fatigue.

The vibrations may well be purified by a simple turning to the circle of One and the verbal vibration while doing so of the following dialogue:

Question: “What is the Law?”
Answer: “The Law is One.”
Question: “Why are we here?”
Answer: “We seek the Law of One.”
Question: “Why do we seek Ra?”
Answer: “Ra is an humble messenger of the Law of One.”

Both Together:
“Rejoice then and purify this place in the Law of One. 
Let no thought-form enter the circle we have walked about this instrument, for the Law is One.”

The instrument at this time should be in trance. 

The proper alignment is the head pointed twenty degrees north-by-northeast
. 
This is the direction from which the newer or New Age distortions of love/light, which are less distorted, are emanating, and this instrument will find comfort therein.

This is a sensitive instrument, by which we mean the distortions which enter her mind/body/spirit complex come from any of her senses.
 
Thus, it is well to do the following:
Place at the entity’s head a virgin chalice of water.
To the center, the book most closely aligned with the instrument’s mental distortions which are allied most closely with the Law of One, that being the Bible that she touches most frequently.
To the other side of the Bible, a small amount of cense, or incense, in a virgin censer.
To the rear of the book symbolizing One, opened to the Gospel of John, Chapter One, 
a white candle.
The instrument would be strengthened by the wearing of a white robe. 
The instrument shall be covered and prone, the eyes covered.

We feel that, though this is a complex of activity/circumstance and may seem very distorted from a purposeful teach/learning experience, these elaborations on the technique of trance will ease the mind distortions of those about the instrument as they perceive improvement in the instrument’s distortions with regard to fatigue. 

We add only that if these teach/learning sessions are held during time/space during which your sunbody does not light your room that it is best to call the instrument before the lighting of the illuminatory mechanism.

I am Ra. 

I leave you in the glory and the peace of the one Creator. 

Rejoice in the love/light, and go forth in the power of the one Creator. 

In joy, we leave you.

Adonai.

The Law of One, Book I, Session 13
January 29, 1981

Questioner: First of all I would like to apologize for asking so many stupid questions while searching for what we should do.

I consider what we are doing to be a great honor and privilege to also be humble messengers of the Law of One.

I now believe that the way to prepare this book is to start at the beginning of creation and follow through the evolution of man on Earth, investigating at all times how the Law of One was used.

I would also like to make as the title of the book, The Law of One, and I would like to state as the author, Ra. Would you agree to this?

Ra: I am Ra. Your query is unclear.

Would you please state as separate queries each area of agreement?

Questioner: First, I would like to start at the beginning of creation, as far back as we can go and follow the development of man to the present time.

Is this agreeable?

Ra: I am Ra. This is completely your discernment/understanding/decision.

Questioner: Secondly, I would like to title the book, The Law of One, by Ra.

Is this agreeable?

Ra: I am Ra. The title of the book is acceptable.

The authorship by vibratory sound complex Ra is, in our distortion of understanding, incomplete.

We are messengers.

Questioner: Can you state who then should author the book?

Ra: I am Ra. I can only request that if your discernment/understanding suggests the use of this vibratory sound complex, Ra, the phrase “An humble messenger of the Law of One” be appended.

The Law of One, Book I, Session 15

QUESTIONER
I would like to apologize for my past and any future stupid questions due to the fact that I am searching for the proper entry into investigating the Law of One.

We will be eliminating the stupid ones from the book.¹

I would like to ask if the use of the instrument is a function of the time we use the instrument, or the amount of information, or the number of words the instrument gives?

In other words, do I have to hurry and ask the questions, or can I take my time to ask the questions?

RA I am Ra. There are two portions to your query.

Firstly, this instrument’s reserve of vital energy, which is a product of body, mind, and spirit distortions in the various complexes, is the key to the length of time which we may expend using this instrument.

We searched your group when we contacted you, for each in your group possesses significantly more vital energy of the body complex.

However, this instrument was tuned most appropriately by the mind/body/spiritcomplex distortions of its beingness in this illusion.

Therefore, we remained with this instrument.

Secondly, we communicate at a set rate which is dependent upon our careful manipulation of this instrument.

We cannot be more, as you would say, quick.

Therefore, you may ask questions speedily, but the answers we have to offer are at a set pace given.

QUESTIONER
This isn’t exactly what I meant. If it takes me, say, forty-five minutes to ask my questions, does that give the instrument only fifteen minutes to answer rather than an hour, or would we run over an hour and the instrument could answer for more?

RA I am Ra. The energy required for this contact is entered into this instrument by a function of time. Therefore, the time is the factor, as we understand your query.

QUESTIONER
Then I should ask my questions rapidly so that I do not reduce the time. Is this correct?

RA I am Ra. You shall do as you deem fit.

However, we may suggest that to obtain the answers you require may mean that you invest some of what you experience as time.

Although you lose the answer-time, you gain thereby in the specificity of the answer, as many times in the past we have needed clarification of hastily phrased questions.

¹ The missing questions and answers have been restored.

The Law of One, Book V, Fragment 22
Session 37, March 12, 1981

Questioner: Is Ra familiar with the results of our efforts today to publish the first book that we did?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: I don’t know if you can comment on the difficulty that we will have in making the Law of One available to those who would require it and want it.

It is not something that is easy to disseminate to those who want it at this time.

I am sure that there are many, especially the Wanderers, who want this information, but we will have to do something else in order to get it into their hands in the way of added material, I am afraid.

Is it possible for you to comment on this?

Ra: I am Ra. It is possible.

Questioner: Will you comment on it?

Ra: I am Ra. We shall.

Firstly, the choosing of this group to do some work to serve others was of an intensive nature.

Each present sacrificed much for no tangible result.

Each may search its heart for the type of sacrifice, knowing that the material sacrifices are the least; the intensive commitment to blending into an harmonious group at the apex of sacrifice.

Under these conditions we found your vibration.

We observed your vibration. It will not be seen often.

We do not wish to puff up the pride, but we shall not chaffer with the circumstances necessary for our particular contact.

Thus you have received and we willingly undertake the honor/duty of continuing to offer transmissions of concepts which are, to the best of our abilities, precise in nature and grounded in the attempt to unify many of those things that concern you.

Secondly, the use you make of these transmissions is completely at your discretion.

We suggest the flowing of the natural intuitive senses and a minimum of the distortion towards concern.

We are content, as we have said, to be able to aid in the evolution of one of your peoples.

Whatever effort you make cannot disappoint us, for that number already exceeds one.

Questioner: I have been very hesitant to ask certain questions for fear that they would be regarded, as I regard them, as questions of unimportance or of too great a specificity and thereby reduce our contact with you.

In order to disseminate some of the information that I consider to be of great importance; that is, the non-transient type of information, information having to do with the evolution of mind, body, and spirit, it seems almost necessary in our society to include information that is of little value simply because that is how our society works, how the system of distribution appraises that which is offered for distribution.

Will you comment on this problem that I have?

Ra: I am Ra. We comment as follows:

It is quite precisely correct that the level and purity of this contact is dependent upon the level and purity of information sought.

Thusly, the continued request for specific information from this particular source is deleterious to the substance of your purpose.

Moreover, as we scanned your mind to grasp your situation as regards the typescript of some of our words, we found that you had been criticized for the type of language construction used to convey data.

Due to our orientation with regard to data, even the most specifically answered question would be worded by our group in such a way as to maximize the accuracy of the nuances of the answer.

This, however, mitigates against what your critic desires in the way of simple, lucid prose.

More than this we cannot say.

These are our observations of your situation.

What you wish to do is completely your decision and we remain at your service in whatever way we may be without breaking the Way of Confusion.

Questioner: We will attempt to work around these problems in the dissemination of the Law of One.

It will take some careful work to do this.

I personally will not cease while still incarnate to disseminate this.

It will be necessary to write a book, probably about UFOs because the Law of One is connected with the phenomenon.

It’s connected with all phenomena, but this seems to be the easiest entry for dissemination.

I plan firstly to use the UFO in the advertising sense as it was meant by the Confederation as an entry into an explanation of the process of evolution that is going on on this planet and how the rest of the Confederation has been involved in a more understandable way, shall I say, for the population that will read the book.

We will use the Ra material in undistorted form just as it has been recorded here in various places throughout the book to amplify and clarify what we are saying in the book.

This is the only way that I can see right now to create enough dissemination for the people who would like to have the Law of One for them to be able to get it.

I could just print up the material that we have off of the tape recorder and publish it but we wouldn’t be able to disseminate it very well because of distribution problems.

Will you comment on my second idea of doing a general book on UFOs including the material from the Law of One?

Ra: I am Ra. We shall comment.

We hope that your Ra plans materialize.

This is a cosmic joke.

You were asking for such an example of humor and we feel this is a rather appropriate nexus in which one may be inserted.

Continue with your intentions to the best of your natures and abilities.

What more can be done, my friends?

The Law of One, Book V, Fragment 33

QUESTIONER
In our last session you cautioned “each to look well to the vital energies necessary for non-depletion of the instrument and the contact level.”

Did that mean that we should . . . that Jim and I should look at the instrument’s . . . or be careful of the instrument’s vital energies or be careful of our own vital energies?

RA I am Ra. Each entity is responsible for itself.

The mechanics of this process taking place involve, firstly, the use of the physical bodily complex of third density with its accompanying physical material in order to voice these words.

Thus this instrument needs to watch its vital energies carefully, for we do not wish to deplete this instrument.

Secondly, the function of the supporting group may be seen to be,
firstly, that of protection for this contact;
secondly, that of energizing the instrument and intensifying its vital energies.

This supporting group has always, due to an underlying harmony, been of a very stable nature as regards protection in love and light, thus ensuring the continuation of this narrow-band contact.

However, the vital energies of either of the supporting members being depleted, the instrument must then use a larger portion of its vital energies, thus depleting itself more than would be profitable on a long-term basis.

Please understand that we ask your apology for this infringement upon your free will.

However, it is our distortion-understanding that you would prefer this information rather than, being left totally to your own dedication-distortions, deplete the instrument or deplete the group to the point where the contact cannot be sustained.

QUESTIONER
Can you give us advice on how to maintain the best possible condition for maintaining contact?

RA I am Ra.
We have given information concerning the proper nurturing of this channel.

We, therefore, repeat ourselves only in two ways in general.

Firstly, we suggest that rather than being, shall we say, brave and ignoring a physical-complex-weakness distortion, it is good to share this distortion with the group and thus, perhaps, shall we say, remove one opportunity for contact which is very wearying to the instrument in order that another opportunity might come about in which the instrument is properly supported.

Secondly, the work begun in harmony may continue.

Harmony, thanksgiving, and praise of opportunities and of the Creator: these are your protection.
These are our suggestions.

We cannot be specific, for your free will is of the essence in this contact.

As we said, we only speak to this subject because of our grasp of your orientation towards long-term maintenance of this contact.

This is acceptable to us.

Session 36, March 10, 1981

Questioner: I was wondering if qualification for contact with Ra might include penetrating this forgetting process? Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is quite correct.

Questioner: Otherwise the Law of Confusion would prohibit this? Is this correct?

Ra: This is correct.

Questioner: I was also wondering if three was the minimum number necessary for this type of working? Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. For protection of this instrument this is necessary as the minimum grouping and also as the most efficient number due to the exceptional harmony in this group.

In other groups the number could be larger, but we have observed in this contact that the most efficient support is given by the individual mind/body/spirits present at this time.

Questioner: I’m a little fuzzy on a point with respect to the higher self.

We each, I am assuming, have an individual higher self at sixth-density positive level. Is this correct?

Each of us in the room here; that is, the three of us?

Ra: I am Ra. This shall be the last full question of this working.

We shall attempt to aim for the intention of your query as we understand it.

Please request any additional information.

Firstly, it is correct that each in this dwelling place has one Oversoul, as you may call it.

However, due to the repeated harmonious interactions of this triad of entities there may be seen to be a further harmonious interaction besides the three entities’ Higher Selves; that is, each social memory complex has an Oversoul of a type which is difficult to describe to you in words.

In this group there are two such social memory complex totalities blending their efforts with your Higher Selves at this time.

The Law of One, Book I, Session 39

RA I am Ra. I greet you in the love and in the light of the One Infinite Creator. I communicate now.

QUESTIONER
The instrument was wondering if her fragile feeling was the result of the chemical ingestion of about six weeks ago?

RA I am Ra. This is correct.

This instrument is now undergoing the most intensive period of physical-complex debilitation/distortion due to the doubling effects of the two ingestions.

This instrument may expect this extremity to proceed for a period of fifteen to twenty of your diurnal cycles.

The weakness distortions will then begin to lift, however, not as rapidly as we first thought due to this instrument’s ongoing weakness distortions.

This instrument is very fortunate in having a support group which impresses upon it the caution necessary as regards these sessions at this time.

This instrument is capable of almost instantaneously clearing the mental/emotional complex and the spiritual complex for the purity this working requires, but this instrument’s distortion towards fidelity to service does not function to its best use of judgment regarding the weakness distortions of the physical complex.

Thus we appreciate your assistance at space/times such as that in your most recent decision-making not to have a working.

This was the appropriate decision, and the guidance given this instrument was helpful.

QUESTIONER
Is there anything that the instrument could do, in addition to what she is attempting to do, to help her condition get better faster?

I know that she hasn’t been able to exercise because of her foot problem for the last couple of days . . . not able to walk, but we are hoping to get back to that.

Is there anything else that she could do?

RA I am Ra. As we have implied, the negative entities are moving all stops out to undermine this instrument at this time.

This is the cause of the aforementioned problem with the pedal digit.

It is fortunate that this instrument shall be greatly involved in the worship of the One Infinite Creator through the vibratory complexes of sacred song during this period.

The more active physical existence, both in the movements of exercise and in the sexual sense, are helpful.

However, the requirements of this instrument’s distortions towards what you would call ethics have an effect upon this latter activity.

Again, it is fortunate that this instrument has the opportunities for loving social intercourse which are of some substantial benefit.

Basically, in your third-density continuum, this is a matter of time.

QUESTIONER
From your reading of the instrument’s condition can you approximate how often and the length of workings that we could plan in our future workings?

RA I am Ra. This query borders upon infringement.

The information given sets up fairly followable guidelines.

However, we are aware that not only can each of you not read this instrument’s aura and so see conditions of the physical complex, but also the instrument itself has considerable difficulty penetrating the precise distortion-condition of its physical complex due to its constant dependence upon its will to serve.

Therefore, we believe we are not infringing if we indicate that one working each alternate diurnal period in the matinal hours is most appropriate with the possibility of a shorter working upon the free matinal period if deemed appropriate.

This is so not only during this period but in general.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 41

RA I am Ra. I greet you in the love and in the light of the One Infinite Creator. 

We communicate now.

QUESTIONER 
I have one question of logistics to start with. I know it’s a dumb question, but I have to ask it to be sure.

There is a possibility that we may have to move from this location to a location a thousand or more miles from here in the future. Will this have any effect at all on our contact with Ra?

RA I am Ra. This is not a foolish question. 

The location is meaningless, for are we not in the creation? 

However, the place of the working shall be either carefully adjudged by your selves to be of the appropriate vibratory levels, or it shall be suggested that the purification of the place be enacted and dedication made through meditation before initial working. 

This might entail such seemingly mundane chores as the cleansing or painting of surfaces which you may deem to be inappropriately marred.

QUESTIONER 
I am familiar with the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram. 

I was just wondering if this ritual was of use in preparing a place for this type of working?<sup>1

1</sup> An explanation of the Banishing Ritual can be found in various Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn works, including as an appendix in W.E. Butler’s book The Magician, His Training, and His Work.

RA I am Ra. This is correct.

QUESTIONER 
Then generally, what you’re saying is that even if we moved over a thousand miles away, if we carefully prepared a place that we found, even though it had been used by others previously, it could be made satisfactory. Is this correct?

RA I am Ra. Yes.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 42

QUESTIONER
I had one experience in meditation (which I spoke of before),² which was very profound, approximately twenty years ago, a little less.

What disciplines would be most applicable to re-create this situation and this type of experience?

RA I am Ra. Your experience would best be approached from the ceremonial magical stance.

However, the wanderer or adept shall have the far greater potential for this type of experience which, as you have undoubtedly analyzed to be the case, is one of an archetypal nature, one belonging to the roots of cosmic consciousness.

² In 34.3.

QUESTIONER
Was that in any way related to the Golden Dawn in ceremonial magic?

RA I am Ra. The relationship was congruency.

QUESTIONER
Then in attempting to reproduce this experience would I then best follow practices for the Order of the Golden Dawn in reproducing this?

RA I am Ra. To attempt to reproduce an initiatory experience is to move, shall we say, backwards.

However, the practice of this form of service to others is appropriate in your case, working with your associates.

It is not well for positively polarized entities to work singly.

The reasons for this are obvious.

QUESTIONER
Then this experience was a form of initiation? Is this correct?

RA I am Ra. Yes.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 43

RA I am Ra. I greet you in the love and in the light of the One Infinite Creator.

Before we communicate may we request the adjustment, without the touching of this instrument’s physical body complex, of the item which presses upon the instrument’s head.

This is causing some interference with our contact.

QUESTIONER
Is that the pillow or something else?

Do you . . . do you speak of the pillow under the neck?

RA I am Ra.

There is a line of interference crossing the crown of the head.

QUESTIONER

Is it this?

[Questioner finds a two-inch fold in the sheet three inches above the instrument’s head and lays it flat.]

Is that it?

RA I am Ra. This is correct.

Please increase the distance from the crown of the head.

QUESTIONER
[Ruffles in the sheet are smoothed all along the length of the sheet next to the instrument’s head.]

Is that satisfactory?

RA I am Ra. Yes.

QUESTIONER
I am sorry that we failed to notice that.

RA We communicate now.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 51

Questioner: Right now I feel a feeling at the indigo center. 

If this center were totally activated and not blocked at all, would I then feel nothing there?

Ra: I am Ra. This query, if answered, would infringe upon the Law of Confusion.

The Law of One, Book V, Fragment 32

Questioner: Can you tell me why (name) has so many silver flecks on her?

Ra: I am Ra. This is infringement. 

No.

Questioner: Thank you. 

Can you tell me why I got sick during Carl Rushkey’s talk?

Ra: I am Ra. We scan your thoughts. 

They are correct and therefore we do not infringe by confirming them. 

The space/time of your allotted speaking was drawing near and you came under Orion attack due to the great desire of some positively oriented entities to become aware of the Law of One.

This may be expected especially when you are not in a group lending strength to each other.

Session 49, April 27, 1981

Questioner: I have a question here from Jim first. 

He says: “For the past nine years I have had what I call frontal lobes experiences in the preconscious state of sleep when I wake up in the morning. 

They are a combination of pleasure and pressure which begins in the frontal lobes and spreads in pulses through the whole brain and feels like an orgasm in the brain. 

I have had over 200 of these experiences and often they are accompanied by voices and visions which seldom make much sense to me.

What is the source of these frontal lobes experiences?”

Ra: I am Ra. We scan the questioner and find some pertinent information already available which regards the physiological disposition of this particular part of the brain. 

The experiences described and experienced are those distillations which may be experienced after a concentration of effort upon the opening of the gateway or indigo mind complex so that experience of a sacramental or violet ray may occur. 

These experiences are the beginnings of that which, as the body, the mind, and the spirit become integrated at the gateway or indigo level, may then yield not only the experience of joy but the comprehension of intelligent infinity which accompanies it. 

Thus the body complex orgasm and mind complex orgasm becoming integrated may then set forth the proper gateway for the spiritual complex integration and its use as a shuttle for the sacrament of the fully experienced presence of the one infinite Creator. 

Thus there is much to which the questioner may look forward.

Session 50, May 6, 1981

Questioner: I have a question from Jim about an experience which he had when he first moved to his land in which he was told, “The key to your survival comes indirect, through nervousness.” The entity was Angelica.

Could you give him information with respect to this?

Ra: I am Ra. Yes.

Questioner: Would you please do that?

Ra: I am Ra. As we have noted, each mind/body/spirit complex has several guides available to it.

The persona of two of these guides is the polarity of male and female.

The third is androgynous and represents a more unified conceptualization faculty.

The guide speaking as sound vibration complex, Angelica, was the female polarized persona.

The message may not be fully explicated due to the Law of Confusion.

We may suggest that in order to progress, a state of some dissatisfaction will be present, thus giving the entity the stimulus for further seeking.

This dissatisfaction, nervousness, or angst, if you will, is not of itself useful.

Thus its use is indirect.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 59

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

We communicate now.

Questioner: Could you first tell me the instrument’s condition and why she feels so tired?

Ra: I am Ra. This instrument’s condition is as previously stated. We cannot infringe upon your free will by discussing the latter query.

Questioner: Would it be any greater protection for the instrument if (name) changed his sitting position to the other side of the bed?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

Questioner: I have a question from Jim and it states:

“I think that I have penetrated my lifelong mystery of my anger at making mistakes.

I think that I have always been aware subconsciously of my ability to master new learning, but my desire to successfully complete my work on Earth has been energized by the Orion group into irrational and destructive anger when I fail.

Could you comment on this observation?

Ra: I am Ra. We would suggest that as this entity is aware of its position as a Wanderer, it may also consider what pre-incarnative decisions it undertook to make regarding the personal or self-oriented portion of the choosing to be here at this particular time/space.

This entity is aware, as stated, that it has great potential, but potential for what?

This is the pre-incarnative question.

The work of sixth density is to unify wisdom and compassion.

This entity abounds in wisdom.

The compassion it is desirous of balancing has, as its antithesis, lack of compassion.

In the more conscious being this expresses or manifests itself as lack of compassion for self.

We feel this is the sum of suggested concepts for thought which we may offer at this time without infringement.

Questioner: Is the pyramid shape constructed in our yard functioning properly? 

Is it aligned properly and built properly?

Ra: I am Ra. It is built within good tolerances though not perfect.

However, its alignment should be as this resting place for maximum efficacy.

Questioner: Do you mean that one of the base sides should be aligned 20° east of north?

Ra: I am Ra. That alignment would be efficacious.

Questioner: Previously you stated that one of the base sides should be aligned with magnetic north. 

Which is better, to align with magnetic north or to align with 20° east of magnetic north?

Ra: I am Ra. This is at your discretion. 

The proper alignment for you of this sphere at this time is magnetic north. 

However, in your query you asked specifically about a structure which has been used by specific entities whose energy vortices are more consonant with the, shall we say, true color green orientation. 

This would be the 20° east of north.

There are advantages to each orientation. 

The effect is stronger at magnetic north and can be felt more clearly. 

The energy, though weak, coming from the now distant, but soon to be paramount, direction is more helpful.

The choice is yours. 

It is the choice between quantity and quality or wide band and narrow band aid in meditation.

Questioner: When the planetary axis realigns, will it realign 20° east of north to conform to the green vibration?

Ra: I am Ra. We fear this shall be the last question as this entity rapidly increases its distortion towards what you call pain of the body complex.

There is every indication that this will occur. 

We cannot speak of certainties but are aware that the grosser or less dense materials will be pulled into conformation with the denser and lighter energies which give your Logos its proceedings through the realms of experience.

May we answer any brief queries at this time?

Questioner: Only if there is anything that we can do to make the instrument more comfortable or to improve the contact?

Ra: I am Ra. All is well.

We are aware that you experience difficulties at this time, but they are not due to your lack of conscientiousness or dedication.

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

Go forth, then, rejoicing the power and the peace of the one infinite Creator. Adonai.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 61
July 8, 1981

Questioner: Then the second question is, could you give an example of how feelings affect portions of the body and the sensations of the body?

Ra: I am Ra. It is nearly impossible to speak generally of these mechanisms, for each entity of proper seniority has its own programming. 

Of the less aware entities we may say that the connection will often seem random as the higher self continues producing catalyst until a bias occurs. 

In each programmed individual the sensitivities are far more active and, as we have said, that catalyst not used fully by the mind and spirit is given to the body.

Thus you may see in this entity 
the numbing of the arms and the hands signifying this entity’s failure to surrender to the loss of control over the life.

Thus this drama is enacted in the physical distortion complex.

In the questioner 
we may see the desire not to be carrying the load it carries given as physical manifestation of the soreness of those muscles for carrying used. 

That which is truly needed to be carried is a preincarnative responsibility which seems highly inconvenient.

In the case of the scribe 
we see a weariness and numbness of feelings ensuing from lack of using catalyst designed to sensitize this entity to quite significant influxes of unfamiliar distortion complexes of the mental, emotional, and spiritual level. 

As the numbness removes itself from the higher or more responsive complexes the bodily complex distortions will vanish. 

This is true also of the other examples.

We would note at this time that the totally efficient use of catalyst upon your plane is extremely rare.

Questioner: Could you tell me how you are able to give us information like this with respect to the first distortion or Law of Confusion?

Ra: I am Ra. Each of those is already aware of this information.

Any other reader may extract the heart of meaning from this discussion without interest as to the examples’ sources. 

If each was not fully aware of these answers we could not speak.

It is interesting that in many of your queries you ask for confirmation rather information. 

This is acceptable to us.

Questioner: Could you tell me why it is important for the appurtenances and other things to be so carefully aligned with respect to the instrument and why just a small ruffle in the sheet by the instrument causes a problem with the reception of Ra?

Ra: I am Ra.

We may attempt an explanation.
This contact is narrow-band.
The instrument is highly sensitive.

Thus we have good entry into it and can use it to an increasingly satisfactory level.

However, the trance condition is, shall we say, not one which is without toll upon this instrument.

Therefore, the area above the entrance into the physical complex of this instrument must be kept clear to avoid discomfort to the instrument especially as it re-enters the body complex.

The appurtenances
give to the instrument’s sensory input mental visualizations which aid in the trance beginning.
The careful alignment of these is important for the energizing group in that it is a reminder to that support group that it is time for a working.
The ritualistic behaviors are triggers for many energies of the support group.

You may have noticed more energy being used in workings as the number has increased due to the long-term, shall we say, effect of such ritualistic actions.

This would not aid another group as it was designed for this particular system of mind/body/spirit complexes and especially the instrument.

There is enough energy transferred for one more long query.

We do not wish to deplete this instrument.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 62

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

Before we begin may we request that a circle be walked about this instrument and that then each of the supporting group expel breath forcibly, approximately two and one-half feet above the instrument’s head, the circle then again being walked about the instrument.

(This was done as directed.)

Ra: I am Ra. We appreciate your kind cooperation.

Please recheck the alignment of perpendicularity and we will begin.

(This was done as directed.)

Ra: I am Ra. We communicate now.

Questioner: Could you tell me what was wrong or what caused the necessity for the rewalking of the circle and the purpose for the expelling of the breath?

Ra: I am Ra. This instrument was under specific psychic attack at the time of the beginning of the working.

There was a slight irregularity in the words verbalized by your sound complex vibratory mechanisms in the protective walking of the circle.

Into this opening came this entity and began to work upon the instrument now in trance state, as you would call it.

This instrument was being quite adversely affected in physical complex distortions.

Thus the circle was properly walked.

The breath of righteousness expelled the thought-form and the circle again was walked.

Questioner: What was the nature of the thought-form or its affiliation?

Ra: I am Ra. This thought-form was of Orion affiliation.

Questioner: Was the attack successful in creating any further distortion in the instrument’s physical complex?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: What is the nature of this distortion?

Ra: This thought-form sought to put an end to this instrument’s incarnation by working with the renal distortions which, although corrected upon time/space, are vulnerable to one which knows the way to separate time/space molding and space/time distortions which are being unmolded, vulnerable as before the, shall we say, healing.

Questioner: What detrimental effect has been done?

Ra: I am Ra. There will be some discomfort.

However, we were fortunate in that this instrument was very open to us and well-tuned.

Had we not been able to reach this instrument and instruct you, the instrument’s physical vehicle would soon be unviable.

Questioner: Will there be any lasting effect from this attack as far as the instrument’s physical vehicle is concerned?

Ra: I am Ra. This is difficult to say.

We are of the opinion that no lasting harm or distortion will occur.

The healer was strong and the bonds taking effect in the remolding of these renal distortions were effective.

It is at this point a question of two forms of the leavings of what you may call a spell or a magic working; the healer’s distortions versus the attempt at Orion distortions; the healer’s distortions full of love; the Orion distortions also pure in separation.

It seems that all is well except for some possible discomfort which shall be attended if persistent.

Questioner: Was the opening that was made in the protective circle planned to be made by the Orion entity?

Was it a specific planned attempt to make an opening, or was this just something that happened by accident?

Ra: I am Ra. This entity was, as your people put it, looking for a target of opportunity.

The missed word was a chance occurrence and not a planned one.

We might suggest in the, shall we say, future, as you measure space/time, as you begin a working be aware that this instrument is likely being watched for any opportunity.

Thus if the circle is walked with some imperfection it is well to immediately repeat.

The expelling of breath is also appropriate, always to the left.

Questioner: Would you expand on what you just said on the expelling of the breath?

I’m not quite sure of what you mean.

Ra: I am Ra. The repetition of that performed well at this working is advisable if the circle is walked in less than the appropriate configuration.

Questioner: But you mentioned the expelling of the breath to the left, I believe.

Would you tell me what you meant by that?

Ra: I am Ra. It is as you have just accomplished, the breath being sent above the instrument’s head from its right side to its left.

Questioner: Is there anything that we can do for the instrument after she comes out of the trance to help her recover from this attack?

Ra: I am Ra. There is little to be done.

You may watch to see if distortions persist and see that the appropriate healers are brought into contact with this mind/body/spirit complex in the event that difficulty persists.

It may not.

This battle is even now being accomplished.

Each may counsel the instrument to continue its work as outlined previously.

Questioner: Who would the appropriate healers be, and how would we bring them in contact with the instrument?

Ra: I am Ra. There are four.

The difficulty being at all noticed as bodily distortion, the one known as (name of spiritual healer) and
the one known as (name of spiritual healer) may work upon the instrument’s bodily complex by means of the practices which are developing in each entity.
Given persistence of distortion, the one known as (name of allopathic healer) shall be seen.
Given the continued difficulty past the point of one of your cycles called the fortnight, the one known as (name of allopathic healer) shall be seen.

Questioner: Does the instrument know who these people are, (name) and (name)?

I don’t know who they are?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: Is that the sum total of what we can do to aid the instrument?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

We may note that the harmonies and loving social intercourse which prevails habitually in this group create a favorable environment for each of you to do your work.

Questioner: What priority, shall I say, does the Orion group place on the reduction of effectiveness or elimination of effectiveness of this group with respect to activities on planet Earth at this time?

Can you tell me that?

Ra: I am Ra. This group, as all positive channels and supporting groups, is a greatly high priority with the Orion group.

This instrument’s bodily distortions are its most easily unbound or unloosed distortion dissolving the mind/body/spirit complex if the Orion group is successful; this particular group, having learned to be without serious chinks, may we say, in mind and spirit complex vibratory patterns.

In other channels other chinks may be more in evidence.

Questioner: Is there something that the instrument could do or we could do for the instrument to eliminate the problems that she has, that she continually experiences of the cold feeling of these attacks?

Ra: I am Ra. Yes.

Questioner: Would you tell me what we could do?

Ra: I am Ra. You could cease in your attempts to be channels for the love and the light of the one infinite Creator.

Questioner: Have I missed anything now that we can do at all to aid the instrument during, before, or after a session or at any time?

Ra: I am Ra. The love and devotion of this group misses nothing. 

Be at peace. 

There is some toll for this work. 

This instrument embraces this or we could not speak. 

Rest then in that peace and love and do as you will, as you wish, as you feel. 

Let there be an end to worry when this is accomplished.

The great healer of distortions is love.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 64

Questioner: Can you tell me why the slight error made in the ritual starting this communication two sessions ago allowed the intrusion by an Orion affiliated entity?

Ra: I am Ra. This contact is narrow band and its preconditions precise.

The other-self offering its service in the negative path also is possessed of the skill of the swordsman.

You deal in this contact with, shall we say, forces of great intensity poured into a vessel as delicate as a snowflake and as crystalline.

The smallest of lapses may disturb the regularity of this pattern of energies which forms the channel for these transmissions.

We may note for your information that our pause was due to the necessity of being quite sure that the mind/body/spirit complex of the instrument was safely in the proper light configuration or density before we dealt with the situation.

Far better would it be to allow the shell to become unviable than to allow the mind/body/spirit complex to be shall we say, misplaced.

Session 66, August 12, 1981

Questioner: Would you give me an indication of the instrument’s condition?

Ra: I am Ra. The vital energies are somewhat depleted at this time but not seriously so.

The physical energy level is extremely low.

Otherwise, it is as previously stated.

Questioner: Is there anything that we can do, staying within the first distortion, to seek aid from the Confederation in order to alleviate the instrument’s physical problems?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

Questioner: Can you tell me the most appropriate method in attempting to alleviate the instrument’s physical problems?

Ra: I am Ra. The basic material has been covered before concerning the nurturing of this Instrument.

We recapitulate:
the exercise according to ability, not to exceed appropriate parameters,
the nutrition,
the social intercourse with companions,
the sexual activity in green ray or above, and in general,
the sharing of the distortions of this group’s individual experiences in an helpful, loving manner.

These things are being accomplished with what we consider great harmony, given the density in which you dance.

The specific attention and activities, with which those with physical complex distortions may alleviate these distortions, are known to this instrument.

Finally, it is well for this instrument to continue the practices it has lately begun.

Questioner: Which practices are those?

Ra: I am Ra. These practices concern exercises which we have outlined previously.

We may say that the variety of experiences which this entity seeks is helpful as we have said before, but as this instrument works in these practices the distortion seems less mandatory.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 67

Questioner:

We have a paradoxical situation with respect to serving the Creator.

We have requests, from those whom we serve in this density, for Ra’s information.
However, we have requests from another density not to disseminate this information.
We have portions of the Creator requesting two seemingly opposite activities of this group.

It would be very helpful if we could reach the condition of full service in such a way that we were by every thought and activity serving the Creator to the very best of our ability.

Is it possible for you to solve, or for the fifth-density entity who offers its service to solve, this paradox which I have observed?

Ra: I am Ra. It is quite possible.

Questioner: Then how could we solve this paradox?

Ra: I am Ra. Consider, if you will, that you have no ability not to serve the Creator since all is the Creator.

In your individual growth patterns appear the basic third-density choice. [Further, there are overlaid memories of the positive polarizations of your home density.]

Thus your particular orientation is strongly polarized towards service to others and has attained wisdom as well as compassion.

You do not have merely two opposite requests for information or lack of information from this source if you listen careful to those whose voices you may hear.

This is all one voice to which you resonate upon a certain frequency. This frequency determines your choice of service to the one Creator.

As it happens this group’s vibratory patterns and those of Ra are compatible and enable us to speak through this instrument with your support.

This is a function of free will.

A portion, seemingly of the Creator,
rejoices at your choice to question us regarding the evolution of spirit.

A seemingly separate portion
would wish for multitudinous answers to a great range of queries of a specific nature.

Another seemingly separate group of your peoples
would wish this correspondence through this instrument to cease, feeling it to be of a negative nature.

Upon the many other planes of existence
there are those whose every fiber rejoices at your service

and those such as the entity of whom you have been speaking
which wish only to terminate the life upon the third-density plane of this instrument.

All are the Creator.

There is one vast panoply of biases and distortions, colors and hues, in an unending pattern.

In the case of those with whom you, as entities and as a group, are not in resonance, you wish them love, light, peace, joy, and bid them well.

No more than this can you do for your portion of the Creator is as it is and your experience and offering of experience, to be valuable, needs be more and more a perfect representation of who you truly are.

Could you, then, serve a negative entity by offering the instrument’s life?

It is unlikely that you would find this a true service.

Thus you may see in many cases
the loving balance being achieved,
the love being offered,
light being sent, and
the service of the service-to-self oriented entity gratefully acknowledged while being rejected as not being useful in your journey at this time.

Thus you serve one Creator without paradox.

Questioner: Are you familiar with a book that the instrument and I wrote approximately twelve years ago called The Crucifixion Of Esmerelda Sweetwater, in particular the banishing ritual that we used to bring the entities to Earth?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: Were there any incorrectnesses in our writing with respect to the way this was performed?

Ra: I am Ra. The incorrectnesses occurred only due to the difficulty an author would have in describing the length of training necessary to enable the ones known in that particular writing as Theodore and Pablo in the necessary disciplines.

Questioner: It has seemed to me that that book has somehow, in its entirety, been a link to many of those whom we have met since we wrote it and to many of the activities we have experienced. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is quite so.

Questioner: Thank you. 

Is this so-called attack offered to myself and (name) as well as the instrument?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct

Questioner: I personally have felt no effect that I am aware of. 

Is it possible for you to tell me how we are offered this service?

Ra: I am Ra. 

The questioner 
has been offered the service of doubting the self and of becoming disheartened over various distortions of the personal nature. 

This entity has not chosen to use these opportunities and the Orion entity has basically ceased to be interested in maintaining constant surveillance of this entity.

The scribe 
is under constant surveillance and has been offered numerous opportunities for the intensification of the mental/emotional distortions and in some cases the connection matrices between mental/emotional complexes and the physical complex counterpart. 

As this entity has become aware of these attacks it has become much less pervious to them. 

This is the particular cause of the great intensification and constancy of the surveillance of the instrument, for it is the weak link due to factors beyond its control within this incarnation.

Questioner: Is it within the first distortion to tell me why the instrument experienced so many physical distortions during the new times of its physical incarnation?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: In that case can you answer me as to why the instrument experienced so much during its early years?

Ra: I am Ra. We were affirming the correctness of your assumption that such answers would be breaking the Way of Confusion. 

It is not appropriate for such answers to be laid out as a table spread for dinner. 

It is appropriate that the complexes of opportunity involved be contemplated.

The Law of One, Book V, Fragment 39

Questioner: We have been speaking almost precisely of a portion of the Esmerelda Sweetwater book which we wrote having to do with the character Trostrick’s misplacement of the space girl’s mind/body/spirit complex.

What is the significance of that work which we did with respect to our lives?

It has been confusing to me for some time as to how it meshes in.

Can you tell me that?

Ra: I am Ra. We scan each and find we may speak.

Questioner: Would you please do so now?

Ra: I am Ra. We confirm the following which is already, shall we say, supposed or hypothesized.

When the commitment was made between two of this group to work for the betterment of the planetary sphere, this commitment activated a possibility/probability vortex of some strength.

The experience of generating this volume was unusual in that it was visualized as if watching the moving picture.

Time had become available in its present-moment form.

The scenario of the volume went smoothly until the ending of the volume.

You could not end the volume, and the ending was not visualized as the entire body of the material but was written or authored.

This is due to the action of free will in all of the creation.

However, the volume contains a view of significant events, both symbolically and specifically, which you saw under the influence of the magnetic attraction which was released when the commitment was made and full memory of the dedication of this, what you may call, mission restored.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 71

Questioner: You stated in a previous session that Ra searched for some time to find a group such as this one.

I would assume that this search was for the purpose of communicating the Law of One. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is partially correct.

We also, as we have said, wished to attempt to make reparation for distortions of this law set in motion by our naive actions of your past.

Questioner: Can you tell me if we have covered the necessary material at this point to, if published, make the necessary reparations for the naive actions?

Ra: I am Ra. We mean no disrespect for your service, but we do not expect to make full reparations for these distortions.

We may, however, offer our thoughts in the attempt.

The attempt is far more important to us than the completeness of the result.

The nature of your language is such that what is distorted cannot, to our knowledge, be fully undistorted but only illuminated somewhat.

Questioner: When you say you searched for this group what do you mean?

What was your process of search?

I ask this question to understand more the illusion of time and space.

Ra: I am Ra. Consider the process of one who sees the spectrograph of some complex of elements. It is a complex paint sample, let us say for ease of description.

We of Ra knew the needed elements for communication which had any chance of enduring.

We compared our color chip to many individuals and groups over a long span of your time.

Your spectrograph matches our sample.

In response to your desire to see the relationship betwixt space/time and time/space may we say that we conducted this search in time/space for in this illusion one may quite readily see entities as vibratory complexes and groups as harmonics within vibratory complexes.

Questioner: I see the most important aspect of this communication as being a vehicle of partial enlightenment for those incarnate now who have become aware of their part in their own evolutionary process.

Am I correct in this assumption?

Ra: I am Ra. You are correct.

We may note that this is the goal of all artifacts and experiences which entities may come into contact with and is not only the property of Ra or this contact.

We find that this instrument has neglected to continue to remind its self of the need for holding some portion of energy back for reserve.

This is recommended as a portion of the inner program to be reinstated as it will lengthen the number of workings we may have.

This is acceptable to us.

The transferred energy grows quite, quite low.

We must leave you shortly.

Is there a brief query at this time?

The Law of One, Book III, Session 73

Questioner: Only if there is anything we can do to improve the comfort of the instrument and the contact, and secondly, is there anything that you wish not published in today’s session?

Ra: I am Ra. We call your attention to two items.

Firstly, it is well that the candle which spirals 10° each working be never allowed to gutter as this would cause imbalance in the alignment of the appurtenances in their protective role for this instrument.

Secondly, we might suggest attention to the neck area so that the cushion upon which it is supported be more comfortable.

This difficulty has abbreviated many workings.

We thank you, my friends, for your conscientiousness and your fastidiousness with regard to these appurtenances which, as our workings proceed, seems to be increasing.

Secondly, your decisions are completely your own as to that material which you may wish published from this working.

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

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

Adonai.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 75

Questioner: Let me see, then, if I understand how the Orion entity finds a chink in this distortion. 

The entity identifying in any amount toward martyrdom is then open by its free will to the aid of the Orion group to make it a martyr. Am I correct?

Ra: I am Ra. You are correct only in the quite specialized position in which the instrument finds itself, that is, of being involved in and dedicated to work which is magical or extremely polarized in nature. 

This group entered this work with polarity but virtual innocence as to the magical nature of this polarity. 

That it is beginning to discover.

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.

Questioner: Would it be beneficial for us to perform the banishing ritual more in this room?

Ra: I am Ra. It is beneficial to regularly work in this place.

Questioner: I have one question that is possibly of no value. 

You don’t have to expand on it, but there is a crystal skull in the possession of a woman near Toronto. 

It may be of some value in investigating these communications with Ra since I think possibly this had some origin from Ra. 

Can you tell me anything about that, and then is there anything that we can do to improve the contact or to make the instrument more comfortable?

Ra: I am Ra. Although your query is one which uncovers interesting material we can not answer due to the potential an answer may have for affecting your actions. 

The appurtenances are carefully placed and requisite care taken. 

We are appreciative. 

All is well.

I am Ra. 

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

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

Adonai.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 77

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

We communicate now.

Questioner: Could you please give me an indication of the condition of the instrument?

Ra: I am Ra. It is as previously stated.

Questioner: Was the instrument under attack just prior to this session?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: Is there anything that we could do to help protect the instrument from these attacks prior to the session?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: What could we do?

Ra: I am Ra. Your group could refrain from continuing this contact.

Questioner: Is that the only thing that we could do?

Ra: I am Ra. That is the only thing you could do which you are not already attempting with a whole heart.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 81

Questioner: Is this the reason for the instrument’s feeling of uninterrupted weariness?

Ra: I am Ra. There are portions of your space/time in which this may be said to be symptomatic of the psychic greeting reaction.

However, the continual weariness is not due to psychic greeting but is rather an inevitable consequence of this contact.

Questioner: Why is this an inevitable consequence?

What is the mechanism of this contact that creates this weariness?

Ra: I am Ra. The mechanism creating weariness is that connection betwixt the density wherein this instrument’s mind/body/spirit complex is safely kept during these workings and the altogether variant density in which the instrument’s physical body complex resides at this space/time.

As the instrument takes on more of the coloration of the resting density the third-density experience seems more heavy and wearisome.

This was accepted by the instrument, as it desired to be of service.

Therefore, we accept also this effect about which nothing of which we are aware may be done.

Questioner: Is the effect a function of the number of sessions, and has it reached a peak level or will it continue to increase in effect?

Ra: I am Ra. This wearying effect will continue but should not be confused with the physical energy levels, having only to do with the, as you would call it, daily round of experience. 

In this sphere those things which are known already to aid this instrument will continue to be of aid. 

You will, however, notice the gradual increase in transparency, shall we say, of the vibrations of the instrument.

Questioner: I didn’t understand what you meant by that last statement.

Could you explain it?

Ra: I am Ra. 

Weariness of the time/space nature 
may be seen to be that reaction of transparent or pure vibrations with impure, confused, or opaque environs.

Questioner: Is there any of this effect upon the other two of us in this group?

Ra: I am Ra. This is quite correct.

Questioner: Then we would also experience the uninterrupted weariness as a consequence of the contact. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. The instrument, by the very nature of the contact, bears the brunt of this effect.

Each of the support group, by offering the love and the light of the one infinite Creator in unqualified support in these workings and in energy transfers for the purpose of these workings, experiences between 10 and 15 percent, roughly, of this effect.

It is cumulative and identical in the continual nature of its manifestation.

Questioner: What could be the result of this continued wearying effect after a long period?

Ra: I am Ra. You ask a general query with infinite answers.

We shall overgeneralize in order to attempt to reply.

One group
might be tempted and thus lose the very contact which caused the difficulty.
So the story would end.

Another group
might be strong at first but not faithful in the face of difficulty.
Thus the story would end.

Another group
might choose the path of martyrdom in its completeness and use the instrument until its physical body complex failed from the harsh toll demanded when all energy was gone.

This particular group,
at this particular nexus, is attempting to conserve the vital energy of the instrument.
It is attempting to balance love of service and wisdom of service, and it is faithful to the service in the face of difficulty.

Temptation has not yet ended this group’s story.

We may not know the future, but the probability of this situation continuing over a relatively substantial period of your space/time is large.

The significant factor is the will of the instrument and of the group to serve.

That is the only cause for balancing the slowly increasing weariness which will continue to distort your perceptions.

Without this will the contact might be possible but finally seem too much of an effort.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 85

Questioner: What is the current situation with respect to our fifth-density, service-to-self polarized companion?

Ra: I am Ra. Your companion has never been more closely associated with you than at the present nexus. 

You may see a kind of crisis occurring upon the so-called magical level at this particular space/time nexus.

Questioner: What is the nature of this crisis?

Ra: I am Ra. The nature of this crisis is the determination of the relative polarity of your companion and your selves. 

You are in the position of being in the third-density illusion and consequently having the conscious collective magical ability of the neophyte, whereas your companion is most adept. 

However, the faculties of will and faith and the calling to the light have been used by this group to the exclusion of any significant depolarization from the service-to-others path.

If your companion can possibly depolarize this group it must do so and that quickly, for in this unsuccessful attempt at exploring the wisdom of separation it is encountering some depolarization. 

This shall continue.

Therefore, the efforts of your companion are pronounced at this space/time and time/space nexus.

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.

Questioner: I am assuming that it would be a problem for the instrument to meditate without the hand pressure from the other-self at this time because of the continued greeting. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct if the instrument wishes to remain free from this potential separation of its mind/body/spirit complex from the third density it now experiences.

The Law of One, Book V, Fragment 42

Questioner: Jim has a personal question that is not to be published. 

He asks, “It seems that my balancing work has shifted from more peripheral concerns such as patience/impatience, to learning to open myself in unconditional love, to accepting my self as whole and perfect, and then to accepting my self as the Creator. 

If this is a normal progression of focus for balancing, wouldn’t it be more efficient once this is discovered for a person to work on the acceptance of the self as Creator rather than work peripherally on the secondary and tertiary results of not accepting the self?”

Ra: I am Ra. The term efficiency has misleading connotations. 

In the context of doing work in the disciplines of the personality, in order to be of more full efficiency in the central acceptance of the self, it is first quite necessary to know the distortions of the self which the entity is accepting.

Each thought and action needs must then be scrutinized for the precise foundation of the distortions of any reactions. 

This process shall lead to the more central task of acceptance. 

However, the architrave must be in place before the structure is builded.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 88

Questioner: Our publisher requests pictures for the book, The Law of One, that is going to press at this time.

Would you comment on the advisability, the benefit, or detriment, magical or otherwise, of us using pictures of this particular setup, the instrument, and the appurtenances in the book?

Ra: I am Ra. The practical advisability of such a project is completely a product of your discrimination.

There are magical considerations.

Firstly,
if pictures be taken of a working the visual image must needs be that which is; that is, it is well for you to photograph only an actual working and no sham nor substitution of any material.

There shall be no distortions which this group can avoid any more than we would wish distortions in our words.

Secondly,
it is inadvisable to photograph the instrument or any portion of the working room while the instrument is in trance.

This is a narrow band contact and we wish to keep electrical and electromagnetic energies constant when their presence is necessary and not present at all otherwise.

Questioner: From what you … I’m sorry. Go ahead.

If you meant to continue, continue. If not, I’ll ask a question.

Ra: I am Ra. We wished to state,

thirdly,
that once the instrumental (?) is aware that the picture-taking will be performed, that during the entire picture-taking, whether before or after the working, the instrument be required to continuously respond to speech, thus assuring that no trance is imminent.

Questioner: From what you have told me, then, I have planned the following:

We will, after the session is complete and the instrument has been awakened, and before moving the instrument, have the instrument continually talk to us while I take pictures.

In addition to this I will take some other pictures as requested by the publisher.

Is this the optimal filling of this requirement?

Ra: I am Ra. Yes.

We ask that any photographs tell the truth, that they be dated, and shine with a clarity so that there is no shadow of any but genuine expression which may be offered to those which seek truth.

We come as humble messengers of the Law of One, desiring to decrease distortions.

We ask that you, who have been our friends, work with any considerations such as above discussed, not with the thought of quickly removing an unimportant detail, but, as in all ways, regard such as another opportunity to, as the adept must, be yourselves and offer that which is in and with you without pretense of any kind.

Session 94, August 26, 1982
The Law of One, Book V, Fragment 45

Questioner: I have questions here from the instrument. 

The first one is, “Is our fifth-density friend responsible for the instrument’s extreme distortion towards pain during and just after sessions?”

Ra: I am Ra. Yes.

Questioner: Is there anything that we can do that we are not doing to remedy this situation so that the instrument does not experience this pain, or as much pain?

Ra: I am Ra. There Is little that can be done due to a complex of preexisting distortions. 

The distortions are triple in the source.

There is the, shall we say, less than adequate work of your chirurgeons which allows for various distortions in the left wrist area.

There is the distortion called systemic lupus erythematosus which causes the musculature of the lower left and right arms to allow for distortions in the normal, shall we say, configuration of both.

Lastly, there is the nerve damage, more especially to the left, but in both appendages from the thoracic outlet.

In the course of the waking behavior the instrument can respond to the various signals which ring the tocsin of pain, thus alerting the mind complex, which in turn moves the physical complex in many and subtle configurations which relieve the various distortions. 

Your friend greets these distortions, as has been stated before, immediately prior to the beginning of the working. 

However, during the working the instrument is not with its yellow-ray chemical vehicle and thusly the many small movements which could most effectively aid in the decrease of these distortions are not possible. 

Ra must carefully examine the mental configurations of the mind complex in order to make even the grossest manipulation. 

It is not our skill to use a yellow-ray vehicle.

The weight of the cover has some deleterious effect upon these distortions in some cases and thus we mentioned that there was a small thing which could be done; that is, the framing of that which lifted the coverlet from the body slightly. 

In order to compensate for loss of warmth the wearing of material warming the manual appendages would then be indicated.

Questioner: I immediately think of the instrument wearing long underwear under the robe that it now wears and an extremely light, white cover.

Would this be satisfactory?

Ra: I am Ra. Due to this instrument’s lack of radiant physical energy the heavier cover is suggested.

Questioner: Could you tell me why I have felt so tired on several recent occasions?

Ra: I am Ra. This has been covered in previous material.

The contact which you now experience costs a certain amount of the energy which each of the group brought into manifestation in the present incarnation.

Although the brunt of this cost falls upon the instrument, it is caparisoned by pre-incarnative design with the light and gladsome armor of faith and will to a far more conscious extent than most mind/body/spirit complexes are able to enjoy without much training and initiation.

Those of the support group also offer the essence of will and faith in service to others, supporting the instrument as it releases itself completely in the service of the one Creator.

Therefore, each of the support group also experiences a weariness of the spirit which is indistinguishable from physical energy deficit except that if each experiments with this weariness each shall discover the physical energy in its usual distortion.

Questioner: Thank you.

I didn’t mean to go over previous material.

I should have phrased my question more carefully. 

That is what I expected.

I was trying to get a confirmation of my suspicion. 

I suspected that.

I will try to be more careful in questioning.

The second question from the instrument says, “While on vacation I uncovered a lot about myself not consciously known before. 

It seems to me that I have coasted a lot on the spiritual gifts given at birth and never have spent any time getting to know my human self which seems to be a child, immature and irrational. Is this so?”

Ra: I am Ra. This is partially correct.

Questioner: Then she says, “If this is so, this seems to be part of the riddle about the manner of my beingness that Ra spoke of. 

I fear that if I do not work successfully on my human distortions I shall be responsible for losing the contact. 

Yet also Ra suggests the over-dedication to any outcome is unwise. 

Could Ra comment on these thoughts?”

Ra: I am Ra. We comment in general first upon the query about the contact which indicates once again that the instrument views the mind/body/spirit complex with jaundiced eye. 

Each mind/body/spirit complex that is seeking shall almost certainly have the immature and irrational behaviors. 

It is also the case that this entity, as well as almost all seekers, has done substantial work within the framework of the incarnative experience and has indeed developed maturity and rationality. 

That this instrument should fail to see that which has been accomplished and see only that which remains to be accomplished may well be noted. 

Indeed, any seeker discovering in itself this complex of mental and mental/emotional distortions shall ponder the possible non-efficacy of judgment.

As we approach the second portion of the query we view the possibility of infringement upon free will. 

However, we believe we may make reply within the boundaries of the Law of Confusion.

This particular instrument was not trained, nor did it study, nor worked it at any discipline in order to contact Ra. 

We were able, as we have said many times, to contact this group using this instrument because of the purity of this instrument’s dedication to the service of the one infinite Creator and also because of the great amount of harmony and acceptance enjoyed each by each within the group; this situation making it possible for the support group to function without significant distortion.

We are humble messengers. 

How can any thought be taken by an instrument as to the will of the Creator? 

We thank this group that we may speak through it, but the future is mazed. 

We cannot know whether our geste may, after one final working, be complete. 

Can the instrument, then, think for a moment that it shall cease in the service of the one infinite Creator? 

We ask the instrument to ponder these queries and observations.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 95

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

We communicate now.

Questioner: Could you first please give me the condition of the instrument?

Ra: I am Ra. It is as previously stated.

Questioner: Thank you. What is the situation with respect to our fifthdensity negative associate?

Ra: I am Ra. The aforenamed entity has chosen various means to further its service and though each is effective in itself, none leads to the lessening of the dedication to service for others or the valuing of harmonious interaction.

Therefore, the entity, though not quiet as it has been, is somewhat depolarized on balance.

Questioner: There seems to be an extremely high probability that we will move from this position to another residence. 

If we move from this residence and cease using this room for workings with Ra, is there a magically appropriate ritual for closing the use of this place of working, or is there anything that we should do with respect to leaving this particular place?

Ra: I am Ra. It would be appropriate to remove from this room and, to a lesser extent, from the dwelling, the charging of what you might call the distortion towards sanctity. 

To remove this charge it is valuable either to write upon your paper your own working or to use existing rituals for the deconsecration of a sacred place such as one of your churches.

Questioner: We would like to pick the most appropriate room for sanctifying for the Ra contact. 

Is there any room that would be most appropriate that Ra could name?

Ra: I am Ra. When you have finished with your work the dwelling shall be as a virgin dwelling in the magical sense. 

You may choose that portion of the dwelling that seems appropriate and once having chosen it you may then commence with the same sort of preparation of the place with which you have been familiar here in this dwelling place.

Questioner: I am assuming that the newly chosen place meets the parameters for the best contact with Ra on the exterior of the house and I would like to ask Ra at this time if there are any suggestions with respect to the exterior of the house?

Ra: I am Ra. The dwelling seems surrounded with the trees and fields of your countryside. 

This is acceptable. 

We suggest the general principle of preparing each part of your environment as it best suits each in the group with the beauty which each may feel to be appropriate. 

There is much of blessing in the gardening and the care of surroundings, for when this is accomplished in love of the creation the second-density flowers, plants, and small animals are aware of this service and return it.

Questioner: On one end of the house are four stalls that have been occupied by horses.

Would it be appropriate or necessary to modify in any way the condition of that area even though it is outside the living area?

Ra: I am Ra. There has been no undesirable negative energy stored in this area.

Therefore, it is acceptable if physically cleaned.

Questioner: Is there any other comment about our new location that Ra could make?

Ra: I am Ra. We are gratified that this query was offered to us for there has been a concentration of negative thought patterns at a distance north to 10° of north, approximately 45 of what you call yards extending therefrom to all four directions in a rectangular but irregular shape.

We ask that the garlic be strung approximately 60-70 feet beyond the far verge of this area which is approximately 57 yards from the dwelling on a bearing north to 10° of north.

We suggest that the garlic be hung in the funnel so that the energies are drawn into the south small end of the funnel and traduced northward and away from the dwelling.

The procedure of the hanging will be one for testing your ingenuity but there are several ways to suspend the substance and it is well to do so.

Questioner: I envision a cardboard funnel approximately three feet in length and then a small cardboard of the same configuration inside of that funnel, the garlic placed between the two cardboard surfaces so that the garlic actually makes a funnel itself held in place by the two cardboard cones.

The smaller end of the cone would be toward the house and the larger end would be away from the house.

I would also like to know that I am accurately aware of the position that we are talking about.

Taking a specific point on the house such as the front door, I suspect that the direction is up toward the road that leads out of the property.

An exact measurement from the doorknob to the center of the area of negativity of which we speak would be helpful.

Would Ra comment on that?

Ra: I am Ra. We were working from the other side of the dwelling.

However, the exact distance is not important due to the generalized nature of the astral leavings.

The heading would be approximately 10° east of north to 5° east of north.

This is not a heading in which absolute fastidiousness needs be paramount.

The yardage is approximately as given.

As to the hanging of the garlic, it must be able to be blown by the wind.

Therefore, the structure which was envisioned is less than optimal.

We might suggest the stringing between two placed posts on either side of the funnel of the strung cloves.

Questioner: Would a wire framework such as chickenwire which has a small inch-square mesh or something like that shaped into a cone with the garlic attached to the cone with the small end toward the house and the open end away from the house strung between two poles be appropriate?

Ra: I am Ra. That is appropriate.

You see in this case the center of the negativity is as described, but there will be a general cleansing of the dwelling and its acreage by this means.

One action you might take in order to improve the efficacy of the cleansing of the environment is
the walking of the perimeter with the opened clove in hand, swinging the clove.
No words need be said unless each wishes to silently or verbally speak those words given for garlic previously.

Questioner: Is there any other thing that we can do to prepare this new place that Ra could mention at this time?

Ra: I am Ra. There are no more specific suggestions for the specific location you contemplate.

In general, the cleanliness is most helpful.

The removal from the mind complex of those thoughts not of harmony is most helpful and those practices which increase faith and will that the spirit may do its work are most helpful.

Questioner: After the suggestions are accomplished with respect to cleansing of the property, does Ra anticipate our contact with Ra will be as efficient there as in this particular place?

Ra: I am Ra. All places in which this group dwells in love and thanksgiving are acceptable to us.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 96

Questioner: The instrument asks if the house which is to be our new location is capable of being transformed by painting and cleaning? 

We don’t plan to put down all new carpets. 

Would cleaning the carpets that are there now be acceptable?

I want to bring this particular house up to acceptable limits so that it is neutral after we do the salting. 

I have a concern only for the conditions for our work there. 

The physical location isn’t that important. 

In fact I don’t consider that important at all. 

Could Ra comment on this?

Ra: I am Ra. It is, of course, the preference of this group which is the only consideration in the situation for the contact with Ra.

The domicile in question has already been offered a small amount of blessing by this group through its presence and, as we have previously stated, each of your days spent in love, harmony, and thanksgiving will continue transforming the dwelling.

It is correct, as we have previously stated, that physical cleanliness is most important. 

Therefore, the efforts shall be made to most thoroughly cleanse the dwelling. 

In this regard it is to be noted that neither in the dwelling as a whole wherein you now reside or in the chamber of this working is there an absence of your dust, earth, and other detritus which is in toto called dirt. 

If the intention is to clean, as much as is physically possible, the location, the requirements for physical cleanliness are fulfilled. 

It is only when a lower astral entity has, shall we say, placed portions of itself in the so-called dirt that care should be taken to remove the sentient being. 

These instructions we have given.

May we note that just as each entity strives in each moment to become more nearly one with the Creator but falls short, just so is physical spotlessness striven for but not achieved. 

In each case the purity of intention and thoroughness of manifestation are appreciated. 

The variance between the attempt and the goal is never noted and may be considered unimportant.

Questioner: Was there a significance with respect to the hawk that landed the other day just outside the kitchen window?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

We may note that we find it interesting that queries offered to us are often already known.

We assume that our confirmation is appreciated.

Questioner: This seems to be connected with the concept of the bird being messengers in the tarot and this was a demonstration of this concept.

I was wondering about the mechanics, you might say, of this type of message.

I assume that the hawk was a messenger, and I assume that as I thought of the possible meaning of this with respect to our activities I was, in the state of free will, getting a message in the appearance of this very unusual bird, unusual, I say, in that it came so close.

I would be very interested to know the origin of the message.

Would Ra comment on this, please?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

Questioner: I was afraid that you would say that.

Am I correct in assuming that this is the same type of communication as depicted in Card Number Three of the Catalyst of the Mind?

Ra: I am Ra. We may not comment due to the Law of Confusion.

There is an acceptable degree of confirmation of items known, but when the recognized subjective sigil² is waved and the message not clear, then it is that we must remain silent.

² sigil: A seal or signet; a mark or sign supposed to exercise occult power [< L siggilum seal].

Session 97, September 15, 1982

Questioner: I’ve been doing some consideration of the appearance of the hawk and have made this analysis of the bird in Card Number Three.

The bird is a message from the higher self, and the position of the wings on Card Three, one pointing toward the female, indicates that it is a message to the female acting as catalyst for the mind.

The position of the downward wing indicates that the message is of a negative nature or of a nature indicating the inappropriateness of certain mental activity or plans.

Would Ra comment on that?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

Questioner: Is the reason for this lack of comment the first distortion?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: I have analyzed the hawk that I saw immediately after returning from the house in Atlanta as a message, probably from my higher self, indicating that the plan of moving was not the best or not too appropriate since, without the hawk, we would have continued as planned with no added catalyst.

This single catalyst of a remarkable nature then, logically, from my point of view, could only mean that there was a message as to the inappropriateness of the plan for some reason yet to be discovered.

Would Ra comment on that?

Ra: I am Ra. We tread as close as possible to the Law of Confusion in suggesting that not all winged creatures have an archetypical meaning.

We might suggest that the noticing of shared subjectively notable phenomena is common when, in another incarnational experience, work significant to the service of increased polarity has been shared.

These subjectively interesting shared phenomena then act as a means of communication, the nature of which cannot be discussed by those outside of the shared incarnational experience without the interference with the free will of each entity involved in the complex of subjectively meaningful events.

Questioner: Can Ra tell us the source of the unusual odor in this room this morning?

Ra: I am Ra. There are two components to this odor.

One is, as has been surmised, the decomposing physical vehicle of one of your second-density Rodentia.

The second is an elemental which is attempting to take up residence within the putrefying remains of this small creature.

The cleansing of the room and the burning of the incense has discouraged the elemental.

The process of decomposition shall, in a short period of your space/time, remove the less than harmonious sensations provided for the nose.

Questioner: I find myself presently in a difficult position of decision, primarily because of the appearance of the aforementioned hawk upon our return from Atlanta.

The only objective of any value at all is the work that we are doing which includes not only the contact but communication and dissemination of this material to those who might request it.

Since a move was connected with that, and since the hawk was, to me, obviously a function of that process, I am presently in a quandary with respect to the optimal situation since I have not yet definitely decided on the significance of the hawk or the advantages or the efficaciousness of the move and do not want to create any process which is basically irreversible if it is going to result in a lack of our ability to be of service to those who would seek that which we are able to manifest in our efforts.

Would Ra comment on that situation?

Ra: I am Ra. The questioner presumes much, and to comment is an infringement upon its free will.

We may suggest the pondering of our previous comments regarding the winged creatures of which you speak.

We repeat that any place of working, properly prepared by this group, is acceptable to Ra.

The discrimination of choice is yours.

The Law of One, Book V, Fragment 48

Questioner: That is perfectly fine with us.

That noise occurs at the forty-five minute time period since the tapes are forty-five minutes on a side.

I would just ask as the final question, then, if the new table that Jim has built for the appurtenances is satisfactory to hold them since it will give us more room to walk around the bed, and is it better to leave it in its natural condition, or is it better to coat it with linseed oil, varnish, or paint?

Ra: I am Ra. We view this appurtenance.

It sings with joy.

The pine vibrates in praise.

Much investment of this working in wood has been done.

It is acceptable.

We may suggest it be left either as it is or rubbed with the oil which also is easily magnetized and holds the proffered vibration to a profound extent.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 99
Session 99, November 18, 1982

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

We communicate now.

Questioner: Would you please give me the condition of the instrument?

Ra: I am Ra. This instrument’s physical deficit continues but has the potential for the lessening due to the removal in your probable future of foodstuffs to which the instrument has significant allergy.

The vital energy levels are somewhat lessened than the last asking but remain strong.

The change in the mental/emotional energy level is towards the distortion of the weakening of this complex.

Questioner: What are the foodstuffs that are creating this allergic reaction?

Ra: I am Ra. That which you call the buttermilk, though appropriately used in the healing work undertaken for the throat and chest areas, is the substance to which the entity has allergy.

Questioner: The instrument asked if she could keep the small gold cross on while she is in one of these sessions.

Will that cause any distortion in these workings?

Ra: I am Ra. We scan the mental distortions of the instrument.

Although the presence of the metallic substance is, in general, not recommended, in this instance, as we find those distortions weakening the mental/emotional complex of the instrument due to its empathic distortions, the figure is specifically recommended for use by this instrument.

We would request that should any strengthening be done to the chain, as we find intended by this instrument, the strengthening links which symbolize eternity to this instrument be as high in purity or higher than the remainder of the device.

In this nexus that which this device represents to this instrument is a much-needed strengthener of the mental/emotional patterns which have been much disrupted from the usual configuration of distortions.

Questioner: Is there anything further that needs to be done by or for the instrument to remove the magical working, or any of its after-effects, in her throat area by our fifth-density, negative companion?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

Questioner: Finally, I have a question from Jim stating:

“For the last two weeks I have often found myself on the edge of anger and frustration, have had a nearly constant dull pain in the area of my indigo-ray center, and have felt quite drained of energy.

Would Ra comment on the source of these experiences and any thoughts or actions that might alleviate them?”

Ra: I am Ra. As in all distortions, the source is the limit of the viewpoint.

We may, without serious infringement, suggest three courses of behavior which shall operate upon the distortion expressed.

Firstly, it would be well for the scribe to engage, if not daily then as nearly so as possible, in a solitary strenuous activity which brings this entity to the true physical weariness.

Further, although any activity may suffice, an activity chosen for its intended service to the harmony of the group would be quite efficacious.

The second activity is some of your space/time and time/space taken by the entity, directly or as nearly so as possible to the strenuous activity, for solitary contemplation.

Thirdly, the enthusiastic pursuit of the balancing and silent meditations cannot be deleted from the list of helpful activities for this entity.

We may note that the great forte of the scribe is summed in the inadequate sound vibration complex, power.

The flow of power, just as the flow of love or wisdom, is enabled not by the chary³ conserver of its use but by the constant user.

The physical manifestation of power being either constructive or destructive strenuous activity, the power-filled entity must needs exercise that manifestation.

This entity experiences a distortion in the direction of an excess of stored energy.

It is well to know the self and to guard and use those attributes which the self has provided for its learning and its service.

³ chary: cautious, careful, wary; fastidious; particular; sparing, frugal; stingy [< OE cearig sorrowful, sad < cearu care]

Questioner: In the previous session you mentioned the use of the forty-five minute interval of the tape recorders as a signal for the end of the session. 

Is this still the appropriate time?

Ra: I am Ra. This is, of course, at the discretion of the questioner for this instrument has some transferred energy and remains open as it has unfailingly done. 

However, the fragility of the instrument has been more and more appreciated by us. 

We, in the initial observations, saw the strength of will and overestimated greatly the recuperative abilities of the physical complex of this entity.

Therefore, we may say that ending a working at approximately this amount of energy expenditure; that is, some point soon following upon the sound vibration of which you speak, would be appropriate and, insofar as we may determine, may well extend the incarnational amount of your space/time which this instrument shall be able to offer to this contact.

Questioner: Thank you.

In closing I will ask if there is anything that we can do to make the instrument more comfortable or to improve the contact?

Ra: I am Ra. We note the relative discomfort of this group at this space/time and offer those previous statements made by Ra as possible aids to the regaining of the extraordinary harmony which this group has the capability of experiencing in a stable manner.

We find the addition of the swirling waters to be helpful.

The appurtenances are conscientiously aligned.

We encourage the conscious strengthening of those invisible ribbands which fly from the wrists of those who go forward to seek what you may call the Grail.

All is well, my friends.

We leave you in hopes that each may find true colors to fly in that great metaphysical quest and urge each to urge each other in love, praise, and thanksgiving.

I am Ra.

We leave you in the love and light of the one infinite Creator.

Go forth rejoicing in the power and in the peace of the One Glorious infinite Creator.

Adonai.

The Law of One, Book V, Fragment 51
Session 101, December 21, 1982

Questioner: Thank you.

What has caused the swelling in Jim’s body, and what can be done to heal it?

Ra: I am Ra. For the answer to this query we must begin with the consideration of the serpent, signifying wisdom.

This symbol has the value of the ease of viewing the two faces of the one who is wise.

Positive wisdom
adorns the brow indicating indigo-ray work.

Negative wisdom,
by which we intend to signify expressions which effectually separate the self from the other-self, may be symbolized by poison of the fangs.

To use that which a mind/body/spirit complex has gained of wisdom for the uses of separation is to invite the fatal bite of that wisdom’s darker side.

The entity has a mental/emotional tendency, which has been lessening in distortion for some of your space/time, towards negative wisdom.

The entity’s being already aware of this causes us not to dwell upon this point but merely to specifically draw the boundaries of the metaphysical background for the energizing of a series of bites from one of your second-density species.

In this case the bite was no more than that of one of the arachnids, sometimes called the wood spider.

However, it is possible that were enough work done to test the origin of the pathology of the entity, it is within possibility/probability limits that the testing would show the bite of the cottonmouth rather than the bite of the common wood spider.

The energizing took its place within the lymphatic system of the entity’s yellow-ray, physical body.

Therefore, the working continues.

There is increasing strain upon the spleen, the supra-renal glands, the renal complex, and some possibility/probability of difficulty with the liver.

Further, the lymphatic difficulties have begun to strain the entity’s bronchial system.

This is some general information upon what is to be noted as a somewhat efficient working.

The removal of these distortions has several portions.

Firstly,
it is well to seek the good offices of the one known as Stuart so that harsh chemical means may be taken to reawaken the histaminic reflexes of the entity and to aid in the removal of edema.

Secondly,
we suggest that which has already begun; that is, the request of the one known now to this group as Bob that this entity may focus its aid upon the metaphysical connections with the yellow-ray body.

Thirdly,
the entity must take note of its physical vehicle’s need for potassium.
The ingesting of the fruit of the banana palm is recommended.

Fourthly,
the link between the swelling of contumely⁴ and the apparent present situation is helpful.

As always the support of the harmonious group is an aid, as is meditation.

It is to be noted that this entity requires some discipline in the meditation which the others of the group do not find necessary in the same manner.

Therefore, the entity may continue with its forms of meditation knowing that each in the group supports it entirely although the instinct to share in the discipline is not always present.

Each entity has its ways of viewing and learning from the illusion, and each processes catalyst using unique circuitry.

Thus all need not be the same to be equal in will and faith.

Questioner: Thank you.

I will make a statement about the way I see the action in this instance and would request Ra’s comment on it.

I see the present situation as the Creator knowing Itself by using the concept of polarization.

We seem to accentuate or to produce catalyst to increase the desired polarization whether the desired mechanism be random, through what we call the higher self, or through utilizing the services of an oppositely polarized entity acting upon us.

All of these seem to produce the same effect which is more intense polarization in the desired direction once that direction has been definitely chosen.

I see the catalyst of the seconddensity insect bite being a function of either or any of the sources of which I have spoken, from random to the higher self or polarized services of negative entities who monitor our activities, all of which have roughly the same ultimate effect.

Would Ra comment on my observation?

Ra: I am Ra. We find your observations unexceptional and, in the large, correct.

Questioner: In this particular case, which avenue was the one that produced the catalyst of the bite?

Ra: I am Ra. The nature of catalyst is such that there is only one source, for the catalyst and experience are further attempts at specificity in dealing with the architecture of the unconscious mind of the self.

Therefore, in an incarnational experience the self as Creator, especially the higher self, is the base from which catalyst stands to offer its service to the mind, body, or spirit.

In the sense which we feel you intend, the source was the fifth-density, negative friend which had noted the gradual falling away of the inharmonious patterns of the distortion called anger/frustration in the entity.

The insect was easily led to an attack, and

the physical vehicle,
which had long-standing allergies and sensitivities, was also easily led into the mechanisms of the failure of the lymphatic function and the greatly diminished ability of the immune system to remove from the yellow-ray body that which distorted it.

Questioner: Something occurred to me.

I am going to make a guess that my illness over the past week was a function of an action by my higher self to eliminate the possibility of a residence in the proximity of a large number of bees that I observed.

Would Ra comment on my statement?

Ra: I am Ra. We can comment, not upon the questioner’s physical distortions but upon the indubitable truth of second-density hive creatures; that is, that a hive mentality as a whole can be influenced by one strong metaphysical impulse.

Both the instrument and the scribe have the capacity for great distortions toward nonviability, given such an attack by a great number of the stinging insects.

Questioner: Thank you.

Could Ra give information on any way that we could give information to (name) as to how to alleviate her present condition of swelling?

Ra: I am Ra. We may only suggest that the honor of propinquity to light carries with it the Law of Responsibility.

The duty to refrain from contumely and discord in all things, which, when unresolved within, makes way for workings, lies before the instrument of which you speak.

This entity may, if it is desired by the scribe, share our comments upon the working of the latter entity.

The entity which is given constant and unremitting approval by those surrounding it suffers from the loss of the mirroring effect of those which reflect truthfully rather than unquestioningly.

This is not a suggestion to reinstate judgment but merely a suggestion for all those supporting instruments; that is, support, be harmonious, share in love, joy, and thanksgiving, but find love within truth, for each instrument benefits from this support more than from the total admiration which overcomes discrimination.

⁴ contumely: insulting rudeness in speech or manner; scornful insolence; an insult, or an insulting act [< OF contumelie < L contumelia reproach]

The Law of One, Book V, Fragment 54
Session 104, July 27, 1983

Questioner: When we got our introduction back from our publisher on the book which originally was called The Law Of One, in the introduction Carla had been speaking on reincarnation and there was this sentence added, 

“For although originally part of Jesus’ teachings they were censored from all subsequent editions by the Empress.” 

Would Ra please comment on the source of that being placed in our introduction?

Ra: I am Ra. This follows the way of subjectively interesting happenings, conditions, circumstances, or coincidences.

We would suggest one more full query at this time.

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.

Questioner: Is there any other suggestion that Ra could make with respect to any part of this move that is planned, and will it—will we have any problems at all in contacting Ra in the new dwelling, and if so, will Ra tell us about those and what we could do to alleviate any problems in contacting Ra in the new dwelling?

Ra: I am Ra. We weigh this answer carefully, for it comes close to abrogation of free will, but find the proximity acceptable due to this instrument’s determination to be of service to the one infinite Creator regardless of personal circumstances.

Any physical aid upon the part of the instrument in the packing and unpacking will activate those allergic reactions lying dormant for the most part at this time.

This entity is allergic to those items which are unavoidable in transitions within your third-density illusion that is, dust, mildew, etc.

The one known as Bob will be of aid in this regard.

The scribe should take care also to imbibe a doubled quantity of liquids in order that any allergically caused toxins may be flushed from the body complex.

There is no difficulty in resuming contact through this tuned instrument with the social memory complex, Ra, in the chosen dwelling, or, indeed, in any place whatsoever once physical and metaphysical cleansing has been accomplished.

Questioner: I have come to the conclusion that the meaning of the hawk that we had about a year ago when we started to move the first time had to do with the non-benign nature of the house, in the metaphysical sense, which I had picked.

If it would not interfere with the Law of Confusion I think that it would be philosophically interesting to know if I am correct with respect to that.

Ra: I am Ra. What bird comes to affirm for Ra?

What bird would be chosen to warn?

We ask the questioner to ponder these queries.

Questioner: I believe that I should ask if there is anything that we can do to make the instrument more comfortable or to improve the contact since in the last session I was not able to get that question in?

Ra: I am Ra. We find the weariness of the group well-balanced by its harmony.

That weariness shall continue in any future circumstance during your incarnations.

Therefore look you to your love and thanksgiving for each other and join always in fellowship, correcting each broken strand of that affection with patience, comfort, and quietness.

We find all meticulously observed in the alignments and give you these words only as reminder.

All that can be done for the instrument seems done with an whole heart, and the instrument itself is working in the indigo ray with perseverance.

We have previously mentioned some temporary measures for the instrument.

If these are adopted, additional liquids shall be imbibed by the instrument and by the questioner, whose bond with the instrument is such that each difficulty for one is the same in sympathy for the other.

I am Ra.

I leave you rejoicing merrily in the love and the light, the power and the peace of the one infinite Creator.

Adonai.

The Law of One, Book V, Fragment 56
Session 106, March 15, 1984

Questioner: How about the metaphysical quality of the house?

Could Ra appraise that please?

Ra: I am Ra. This location is greatly distorted.

We find an acceptable description of this location’s quality to elude us without recourse to hackneyed words.

Forgive our limitations of expression.

The domicile and its rear aspect, especially, is blessed and angelic presences have been invoked for some of your time past.

Questioner: I’m not sure that I understand what Ra means by that.

I’m not sure if the place is metaphysically extremely good or extremely negative.

Could Ra clear that up, please?

Ra: I am Ra. We intended to stress the metaphysical excellence of the proposed location.

The emblements of such preparation may well be appreciated by this group.

Questioner: Would the cleansing by salt and water be necessary for this location then?

Or would it be recommended?

Ra: I am Ra. There is the recommended metaphysical cleansing as in any relocation.

No matter how fine the instrument, the tuning still is recommended between each concert or working.

Questioner: If the instrument stays out of the basement, do you think that the humidity and the physical conditions will be good for the instrument then? Is that correct?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

Questioner: We must do something about the humidity in the whole house then to make it good for the instrument. Is that correct?

Ra: I am Ra. Yes.

Questioner: I want to come back to a couple of points here, but I want to get in a question about myself.

It seems to be critical at this point.

Could Ra tell me what is physically wrong with me, what’s causing it, and what I could do to alleviate it?

Ra: I am Ra. The questioner is one also in the midst of further initiation.

During this space/time the possibility for mental/emotional distortion approaching that which causes the entity to become dysfunctional is marked.

Further, the yellow-ray, chemical vehicle of the questioner is aging and has more difficulty in the absorption of needed minerals such as iron and other substances such as papain, potassium, and calcium.

At the same time the body of yellow-ray begins to have more difficulty eliminating trace elements such as aluminum.

The energizing effect has occurred in the colon of the questioner and the distortions in that area are increasingly substantial.

Lastly, there is a small area of infection in the mouth of the questioner which needs attention.

Questioner: Could Ra recommend what I should do to improve my state of health?

Ra: I am Ra. We tread most close to the Law of Confusion in this instance but feel the appropriateness of speaking due to potentially fatal results for the instrument.

We pause to give the questioner and the scribe a few moments of space/time to aid us by stepping away from those distortions which cause us to invoke the Law of Confusion.

This would be helpful.

(A few moments pause)

I am Ra. We appreciate your attempts.

Even confusion on your behalves is helpful.

The questioner has, in the recent past, allowed a complete transfer of mental/emotional pain from the questioner to the instrument.

The key to this deleterious working was when the instrument said words to the effect of the meaning that it would be the questioner and be the strong one.

The questioner could be as the instrument, small and foolish.

The questioner, in full ignorance of the firm intent of the instrument and not grasping the possibility of any such energy transfer, agreed.

These two entities have been as one for a timeless period and have manifested this in your space/time.

Thusly, the deleterious working occurred.

By agreement in care and caution it may be undone.

We urge the attention to thanksgiving and harmony on the part of the questioner.

We may affirm the previous recommendation in general of the skills and the purity of intention of the one known as Bob, and may note the sympathetic illness which has occurred due to the instrument’s sensitivities.

Lastly, we may note that to the one known as Peter several aspects of the distortions experienced by the questioner, the instrument, and the scribe may be quite apparent and rather simply traduced to lesser distortions.

Questioner: What is Peter’s last name?

I am not familiar with who he is.

Ra: I am Ra. The name by which this entity chooses to be known is Inman.

Questioner: Does Ra think that surgery in my case would be of any help?

Ra: I am Ra. We assume you speak of the colonic indisposition and its potential aid by your chirurgeons. Is this correct?

Questioner: Yes.

Ra: Again, I am Ra.

Please blow across the face and heart of the instrument.

(This was done as directed.)

Ra: I am Ra. We shall continue.

The atmosphere has been meticulously prepared.

However, there are those elements which cause difficulty to the instrument, the neurasthenia of the right side of the face being added to other arthritically energized pain flares.

Such an operation would be of aid in the event that the entity chose this physical cleansing as an event which collaborated with changes in the mental, mental/emotional, and physical orientations of the entity.

Without the latter choice, the distortion would recur.

Questioner: Now, going back to summarizing what we can do for the instrument is through praise and thanksgiving.

Is that all that we can do other than advising her to drink a considerable amount of liquid and moving her into a better atmosphere.

Am I correct on that?

Ra: I am Ra. We examine the statement and find two items missing, one important relative to the other.

The chief addition is the grasping of the entity’s nature.

The less important is, for little it may seem to be, perhaps helpful; that is, the entity absorbs much medication and finds it useful to feed itself when these substances are ingested.

The substitution of substances such as fruit juice for the cookie is recommended, and, further, the ingestion of substances containing sucrose which are not liquid is not recommended within four of your hours before the sleeping period.

Questioner: With my experience with the dehumidifiers I think that it will probably be impossible to lower the humidity in that house much.

We can try that, and probably if we do move in there, we will have to move out very shortly.

Is there anything else that needs to be done to complete the healing of Jim’s kidney problem?

Ra: I am Ra. If it be realized that the condition shall linger in potential for some months after the surcease of all medication, then care will be taken and all will continue well.

We may note that, for the purposes you intend, the location, Hobbs Park Road, whether humid or arid, is uncharacteristically well-suited.

The aggravated present distortions of the instrument having abated due to lack of acute catalyst, the condition of the location about which the assumption was made is extremely beneficial.

Questioner: Then you are saying that the effect of the humidity—we will try to get it as low as possible—is a relatively minor consideration when all of the other factors of the Hobbs Park Road address are taken into consideration? Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. Yes.

Questioner: I am quite concerned about the instrument’s health at this point.

I must ask if there is anything I have failed to consider with respect to the health of the instrument?

Is there anything at all that we can do for her to improve her condition other than that which has already been recommended?

Ra: I am Ra. All is most whole-heartedly oriented for support here.

Perceive the group as here, a location in time/space.

Within this true home, keep the light touch.

Laugh together, and find joy in and with each other.

All else is most fully accomplished or planned for accomplishment.

Questioner: Is it as efficacious to cleanse the house with salt and water after we move in as it is before we move in?

Ra: I am Ra. In this case it is not an urgent metaphysical concern as timing would be in a less benign and happy atmosphere.

One notes the relative simplicity of accomplishing such prior to occupancy.

This is unimportant except as regards the catalyst with which you wish to deal.

Questioner: Can you tell me what the instrument’s difficulty was with her last whirlpool?

Ra: I am Ra. The instrument took on the mental/emotional nature and distortion complex of the questioner as we have previously noted.

The instrument has been taking whirling waters at temperatures which are too hot and at rates of vibration which, when compounded by the heat of the swirling waters, bring about the state of light shock as you would call the distortion.

The mind complex has inadequate oxygen in this distorted state and is weakened.

In this state the instrument, having the questioner’s distortion without the questioner’s strength of the distortion one might liken to the wearing of armor, began to enter into an acute psychotic episode.

When the state of shock was past the symptoms disappeared.

The potential remains as the empathic identity has not been relinquished, and both the questioner and the instrument live as entities in a portion of the mental/emotional complex of the instrument.

May we ask for one more full query at this working and remind the instrument that it is appropriate to reserve some small portion of energy before a working?

Questioner: I would just ask if there is anything that we can do to make the instrument more comfortable or to help her and to improve the contact, and what would be the soonest that Ra would recommend the next contact?

I would certainly appreciate the return of the golden hawk.

It gave me great comfort.

Ra: I am Ra. You have complete freedom to schedule workings.

We suggest the nature of all manifestation to be illusory and functional only in so far as the entity turns from shape and shadow to the One.

I am Ra.

We leave you, my friends, in the love and in the glorious light of the one infinite Creator.

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

Adonai.
