				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 please give me the condition of the 
				instrument? Ra: I am Ra. The physical complex distortions of this instrument 
				far more closely approach what you might call the zero mark; 
				that is, the instrument, while having no native physical energy, 
				is not nearly so far in physical energy deficit distortions. The 
				vital energy distortions are somewhat strengthened since the 
				last asking.
 
 
				Questioner: What is the position and condition of our 
				fifth-density, negatively oriented visitor? Ra: I am Ra. This entity is with this group but in a quiescent 
				state due to some bafflement as to the appropriate method for 
				enlarging upon its chosen task.
 QUESTIONER Thank you. You have stated previously that the 
				foundation of our present illusion is the concept of polarity. I 
				would like to ask, since we have defined the two polarities as 
				service-to-others and service-to-self, is there a more complete 
				or eloquent or enlightening definition of these polarities or 
				any more information that we don’t have at this time that you 
				could give on the two ends of the poles that would give us a 
				better insight into the nature of polarity itself?
 Ra: I am Ra. It is unlikely that there is a more pithy or 
				eloquent description of the polarities of third density than 
				service-to-others and service-to-self due to the nature of the 
				mind/body/spirit complexes’ distortions towards perceiving 
				concepts relating to philosophy in terms of ethics or activity. 
				However, we might consider the polarities using slightly variant 
				terms. In this way a possible enrichment of insight might be 
				achieved for some.
 One might consider the polarities with the literal nature 
				enjoyed by the physical polarity of the magnet. The negative and 
				positive, with electrical characteristics, may be seen to be 
				just as in the physical sense. It is to be noted in this context 
				that it is quite impossible to judge the polarity of an act or 
				an entity, just as it is impossible to judge the relative 
				goodness of the negative and positive poles of the magnet.
 Another method of viewing polarities might involve the concept 
				of radiation/absorption. That which is positive is radiant; that 
				which is negative is absorbent.
 
 
				Questioner: Now, if I understand correctly, prior to the veiling 
				process the electrical polarities, the polarities of radiation 
				and absorption, all existed in some part of the creation, but 
				the service-to-others/service-to-self polarity with which we are 
				familiar had not evolved and only showed up after the veiling 
				process as an addition to the list of possible polarities in the 
				creation. Is this correct? Ra: I am Ra. No.
 
 
				Questioner: Would you correct me on that? Ra: I am Ra. The description of polarity as service-to-self and 
				service-to¬others, from the beginning of our creation, dwelt 
				within the architecture of the primal Logos. Before the veiling 
				process the impact of actions taken by mind/body/spirits upon 
				their consciousness was not palpable to a significant enough 
				degree to allow the expression of this polarity to be 
				significantly useful. Over the period of what you would call 
				time this expression of polarity did indeed work to alter the 
				biases of mind/body/spirits so that they might eventually be 
				harvested. The veiling process made the polarity far more 
				effective.
 
 
				Questioner: I might make the analogy, then, in that when a 
				polarization in the atmosphere occurs to create thunderstorms, 
				lightening, and much activity, this more vivid experience could 
				be likened to the polarization in consciousness which creates 
				the more vivid experience. Would this be appropriate as an 
				analogy? Ra: I am Ra. There is a shallowness to this analogy in that one 
				entity’s attention might be focused upon a storm for the 
				duration of the storm. However, the storm producing conditions 
				are not constant whereas the polarizing conditions are constant. 
				Given this disclaimer, we may agree with your analogy.
 
 
				Questioner: With the third tarot card we come to the first 
				addition of archetypes after the veiling process, as I 
				understand it. I am assuming that this third archetype is, shall 
				I say, loaded in a way so as to create the possible polarization 
				since that seems to be one of the primary objectives of this 
				particular Logos in the evolutionary process. Am I in any way 
				correct on that? Ra: I am Ra. Before we reply to your query we ask your patience 
				as we must needs examine the mind complex of this instrument in 
				order that we might attempt to move the left manual appendage of 
				the instrument. If we are not able to affect some relief from 
				pain we shall take our leave. Please have patience while we do 
				that which is appropriate.
 (Thirty second pause.)
 I am Ra. There will continue to be pain flares. However, the 
				critical portion of the intense pain has been alleviated by 
				repositioning.
 Your supposition is correct.
 
 
				Questioner: There seems to be no large hint of polarity in this 
				drawing except for the possible coloration of the many cups in 
				the wheel. Part of them are colored black and part are colored 
				white. Would this indicate that each experience has within it 
				the possible negative or positive use of that experience that is 
				randomly generated by this seeming wheel of fortune? Ra: I am Ra. Your supposition is thoughtful. However, it is 
				based upon an addition to the concept complex which is 
				astrological in origin. Therefore, we request that you retain 
				the concept of polarity but release the cups from their 
				strictured form. The element you deal with is not in motion in 
				its original form but is indeed the abiding sun which, from the 
				spirit, shines in protection over all catalyst available from 
				the beginning of complexity to the discerning mind/body/spirit 
				complex.
 Indeed you may, rather, find polarity expressed, firstly, by the 
				many opportunities offered in the material illusion which is 
				imaged by the not-white and not-dark square upon which the 
				entity of the image is seated, secondly, upon the position of 
				that seated entity. It does not meet opportunity straight on but 
				glances off to one side or another. In the image you will note a 
				suggestion that the offering of the illusion will often seem to 
				suggest the opportunities lying upon the left-hand path or, as 
				you might refer to it more simply, the service-to-self path. 
				This is a portion of the nature of the Catalyst of the Mind.
 
 
				Questioner: The feet of the entity seem to be on an unstable 
				platform that is dark to the rear and light to the front. I am 
				guessing that possibly this indicates that the entity standing 
				on this could sway in either direction, to the left or to the 
				right-hand path. Is this correct? Ra: I am Ra. This is most perceptive.
 
 
				Questioner: The bird, I am guessing, might be a messenger of the 
				two paths depicted by the position of the wings bringing 
				catalyst which could be used to polarize on either path. Is this 
				in any way correct? Ra: I am Ra. It is a correct perception that the position of the 
				winged creature is significant. The more correct perception of 
				this entity and its significance is the realization that the 
				mind/body/spirit complex is, having made contact with its 
				potentiated self, now beginning its flight towards that great 
				Logos which is that which is sought by the adept.
 Further, the nature of the winged creature is echoed both by the 
				female holding it and the symbol of the female upon which the 
				figure’s feet rest; that is, the nature of catalyst is 
				overwhelmingly of an unconsciousness, coming from that which is 
				not of the mind and which has no connection with the intellect, 
				as you call it, which precedes or is concomitant with catalytic 
				action. All uses of catalyst by the mind are those consciously 
				applied to catalyst. Without conscious intent the use of 
				catalyst is never processed through mediation, ideation, and 
				imagination.
 
 
				Questioner: I would like, if possible, an example of the 
				activity we call Catalyst of the Mind in a particular individual 
				undergoing this process. Could Ra give an example of that? Ra: I am Ra. All that assaults your senses is catalyst. We, in 
				speaking to this support group through this instrument, offer 
				catalyst. The configurations of each in the group of body offer 
				catalyst through comfort/discomfort. In fact all that is 
				unprocessed that has come before the notice of a 
				mind/body/spirit complex is catalyst.
 
 
				Questioner: Then presently we receive catalyst of the mind as we 
				are aware of Ra’s communication and we receive catalyst of the 
				body as our bodies sense all of the inputs to them, but could Ra 
				then describe catalyst of the spirit, and are we at this time 
				receiving that catalyst and if not, could Ra give an example of 
				that? Ra: I am Ra. Catalyst being processed by the body is catalyst 
				for the body. Catalyst being processed by the mind is catalyst 
				for the mind. Catalyst being processed by the spirit is catalyst 
				for the spirit. An individual mind/body/spirit complex may use 
				any catalyst which comes before its notice, be it through the 
				body and its senses or through mediation or through any other 
				more highly developed source, in its unique way to form an 
				experience unique to it, with its biases.
 
 
				Questioner: Would I be correct in saying that the archetype for 
				the Catalyst of the Mind is the Logos’s model for its most 
				efficient plan for the activity or use of the catalyst of the 
				mind? Ra: I am Ra. Yes.
 
 
				Questioner: Then the adept, in becoming familiar with the 
				Logos’s archetype in each case, would be able to most 
				efficiently use the Logos’s plan for evolution. Is this correct?
				Ra: I am Ra. In the archetypical mind one has the resource of 
				not specifically a plan for evolution but rather a blueprint or 
				architecture of the nature of evolution. This may seem to be a 
				small distinction, but it has significance in perceiving more 
				clearly the use of this resource of the deep mind.
 
 
				Questioner: Then Ra presented the images which we know now as 
				the tarot so that the Egyptian adepts of the time could 
				accelerate their personal evolution. Is this correct, and was 
				there any other reason for the presentation of these images by 
				Ra? Ra: I am Ra. You are correct.
 
 
				Questioner: Are there any other uses at all of tarot cards other 
				than the one I just named? Ra: I am Ra. To the student the tarot images offer a resource 
				for learn/teaching the processes of evolution. To any other 
				entity these images are pictures and no more.
 
 
				Questioner: I was specifically thinking of the fact that Ra, in 
				an earlier session, spoke of the tarot as a system of 
				divination. Would you tell me what you meant by that? Ra: I am Ra. Due to the influence of the Chaldees, the system of 
				archetypical images was incorporated by the priests of that 
				period into a system of astrologically based study, learning, 
				and divination. This was not a purpose for which Ra developed 
				the tarot.
 
 
				Questioner: The third card also shows the wand, I am assuming it 
				is, in the right hand. The ball atop the wand is the round 
				magical shape. Am I in any way correct in guessing that the 
				Catalyst of the Mind suggests the possible eventual use of the 
				magic depicted by this wand? Ra: I am Ra. The wand is astrological in its origin and as an 
				image may be released from its stricture. The sphere of 
				spiritual power is an indication indeed that each opportunity is 
				pregnant with the most extravagant magical possibilities for the 
				far-seeing adept.
 
 
				Questioner: The fact that the clothing of the entity is 
				transparent indicates the semi-permeability of the veil for the 
				catalytic process. Is this correct? Ra: I am Ra. We again must pause.
 (Fifteen second pause.)
 I am Ra. We continue under somewhat less than optimal 
				conditions. However, due to the nature of this instrument’s 
				opening to us our pathway is quite clear and we shall continue. 
				Because of pain flares we must ask you to repeat your last 
				query.
 
 
				Questioner: I was just wondering if the transparency of the 
				garments on the third card indicates the semi-permeable nature 
				of the veil between the conscious and unconscious mind? Ra: I am Ra. This is a thoughtful perception and cannot be said 
				to be incorrect. However, the intended suggestion, in general, 
				is an echo of our earlier suggestion that the nature of catalyst 
				is that of the unconscious; that is, outward catalyst comes 
				through the veil.
 All that you perceive seems to be consciously perceived. This is 
				not the correct supposition. All that you perceive is perceived 
				as catalyst unconsciously. By the, shall we say, time that the 
				mind begins its appreciation of catalyst, that catalyst has been 
				filtered through the veil and in some cases much is veiled in 
				the most apparently clear perception.
 
 
				Questioner: I’m at a loss to know the significance of the 
				serpents that adorn the head of the entity on this drawing. Are 
				they of Ra and, if so, what do they stand for? Ra: I am Ra. They are cultural in nature. In the culture to 
				which these images were given the serpent was the symbol of 
				wisdom. Indeed, to the general user of these images perhaps the 
				most accurate connotation of this portion of the concept 
				complexes might be the realization that the serpent is that 
				which is powerful magically. In the positive sense this means 
				that the serpent will appear at the indigo-ray site upon the 
				body of the image figures. When a negative connotation is 
				intended one may find the serpent at the solar plexus center.
 
 
				Questioner: Is there any significance to the serpent? Is there 
				any polarity to the serpent as we experience it in this 
				illusion? Ra: I am Ra. We assume that you question the serpent as used in 
				these images rather than the second-density life form which is a 
				portion of your experience. There is a significance to the 
				serpent form in a culture which coexists with your own but which 
				is not your own; that is, the serpent is symbol of that which 
				some call the kundalini and which we have discussed in previous 
				material.
 
 
				Questioner: Is there any other aspect of this third card that Ra 
				could comment on at this time? Ra: I am Ra. There may be said to be many aspects which another 
				student might note and ponder in this image. However, it is the 
				nature of teach/learning to avoid trespass into the realms of 
				learn/teaching for the student. We are quite agreed to comment 
				upon all observations that the student may make. We cannot speak 
				further than this for any student.
 We would add that it is expected that each student shall 
				naturally have an unique experience of perception dealing with 
				each image. Therefore, it is not expected that the questioner 
				ask comprehensively for all students. It is, rather, expected 
				and accepted that the questioner will ask a moiety of questions 
				which build up a series of concepts concerning each archetype 
				which then offer to each succeeding student the opportunity for 
				more informed study of the archetypical mind.
 May we ask for one more query at this time. We are pleased to 
				report that this instrument has remembered to request the 
				reserving of some transferred energy to make more comfortable 
				the transition back to the waking state. Therefore, we find that 
				there is sufficient energy for one more query.
 
 
				Questioner: I am assuming that you mean one full question. I’ll 
				make that question in this form. I’d like to know the 
				significance of the shape of the crux ansata, and if that’s too 
				much of an answer I’ll just ask if there is anything that we can 
				do to make the instrument more comfortable or to improve the 
				contact? Ra: I am Ra. There are mathematical ratios within this image 
				which may yield informative insights to one fond of riddles. We 
				shall not untangle the riddle. We may indicate that the crux 
				ansata is a part of the concept complexes of the archetypical 
				mind, the circle indicating the magic of the spirit, the cross 
				indicating that nature of manifestation which may only be valued 
				by the losing. Thus the crux ansata is intended to be seen as an 
				image of the eternal in and through manifestation and beyond 
				manifestation through the sacrifice and the transformation of 
				that which is manifest.
 The support group functions well. The swirling waters 
				experienced by the instrument since our previous working have 
				substantially aided the instrument in its lessening of the 
				distortion of pain.
 All is well. The alignments are well guarded.
 We leave you, my friends, in the love and the light of the 
				Infinite One. Go forth, therefore, rejoicing in the power and in 
				the peace of the One Infinite and Glorious Creator. Adonai.

			RA, Session 94 
			-
				August 26, 1982
			 
				
				Ra: I am Ra. I greet you in the love and in the light of the one 
				infinite Creator. I communicate now. 
 
				Questioner: Could you first please give me the condition of the 
				instrument? Ra: I am Ra. There is some small increase in physical energy 
				deficit. It is not substantial. All else is as at the previous 
				asking.
 
 
				Questioner: From the previous session the statement was made 
				that much is veiled to the most apparently clear observation. 
				Would Ra expand on what was meant by that statement? I assume 
				that this means the veiling of all that which is outside of the 
				limits of what we call our physical perception having to do with 
				the spectrum of light, etc., but I also intuit that there is 
				more than that veiled. Would Ra expand on that concept? Ra: I am Ra. You are perceptive in your supposition. Indeed, we 
				meant not any suggestions that the physical apparatus of your 
				current illusion was limited as part of the veiling process. 
				Your physical limits are as they are.
 However, because of the unique biases of each mind/body/spirit 
				complex there are sometimes quite simple instances of distortion 
				when there is no apparent cause for such distortion. Let us use 
				the example of the virile and immature male who meets and speaks 
				clearly with a young female whose physical form has the 
				appropriate configuration to cause, for this male entity, the 
				activation of the red-ray sexual arousal.
 The words spoken may be upon a simple subject such as naming, 
				information as to the occupation, and various other common 
				interchanges of sound vibratory complex. The male entity, 
				however, is using almost all the available consciousness it 
				possesses in registering the desirability of the female. Such 
				may also be true of the female.
 Thusly an entire exchange of information may be meaningless 
				because the actual catalyst is of the body. This is 
				unconsciously controlled and is not a conscious decision. This 
				example is simplistic.
 
 
				Questioner: I have drawn a small diagram in which I simply show 
				an arrow which represents catalyst penetrating a line at right 
				angles to the arrow, which is the veil, depositing in one of two 
				repositories which I would call the right-hand path and the 
				left-hand path, and I have labeled these two repositories the 
				Experience. Would this be a very rough analogy of the way the 
				catalyst is filtered through the veil to become experience? Ra: I am Ra. Again, you are partially correct. The deeper biases 
				of a mind/body/spirit complex pilot the catalyst around the many 
				isles of positivity and negativity as expressed in the 
				archipelago of the deeper mind. However, the analogy is 
				incorrect in that it does not take into account the further 
				polarization which most certainly is available to the conscious 
				mind after it has perceived the partially polarized catalyst 
				from the deeper mind.
 
 
				Questioner: It seems to me that the Experience of the Mind would 
				act in such a way as to change the nature of the veil so that 
				catalyst would be filtered so as to be acceptable in the bias 
				that is increasingly chosen by the entity. For instance, if he 
				had chosen the right-hand path the Experience of the Mind would 
				change the permeability of the veil to accept more and more 
				positive catalyst. Also the other would be true for accepting 
				more negative catalyst if the left-hand path were the one that 
				was chosen. Is this correct? Ra: I am Ra. This is not only correct but there is a further 
				ramification. As the entity increases in experience it shall, 
				more and more, choose positive interpretations of catalyst if it 
				is upon the service-to-others path and negative interpretations 
				of catalyst if its experience has been of the service-to-self 
				path.
 
 
				Questioner: Then the mechanism designed by the Logos of the 
				action of catalyst resulting in experience was planned to be 
				self-accelerating in that it would create this process of 
				variable permeability. Is this an adequate statement? Ra: I am Ra. There is no variable permeability involved in the 
				concepts we have just discussed. Except for this, you are quite 
				correct.
 
 
				Questioner: Now I can understand, to use a poor term again, the 
				necessity for the archetype of Catalyst of the Mind but what is 
				the reason for having a blueprint or model for the Experience of 
				the Mind other than this simple model of dual repositories for 
				negative and positive catalyst? It seems to me that the first 
				distortion of free will would be better served if no model for 
				experience was made. Could you clear that up for me? Ra: I am Ra. Your question is certainly interesting and your 
				confusion hopefully productive. We cannot learn/teach for the 
				student. We shall simply note, as we have previously, the 
				attraction of various archetypes to male and to female. We 
				suggest that this line of consideration may prove productive.
 
 
				Questioner: In the fourth archetype the card shows a male whose 
				body faces forward. I assume that this indicates that the 
				Experience of the Mind will reach for catalyst. However, the 
				face is to the left which indicates to me that in reaching for 
				catalyst, negative catalyst will be more apparent in its power 
				and effect. Would Ra comment on this? Ra: I am Ra. The archetype of Experience of the Mind reaches 
				not, O student, but, with firm authority, grasps what it is 
				given. The remainder of your remarks are perceptive.
 
 
				Questioner: The Experience is seated upon the square of the 
				material illusion which is colored much darker than in Card 
				Number Three. However, there is a cat inside of this square. I 
				am guessing as experience is gained the second-density nature of 
				the illusion is understood and the negative and positive aspects 
				separate. Would Ra comment on this? Ra: I am Ra. This interpretation varies markedly from Ra’s 
				intention. We direct the attention to the cultural meaning of 
				the great cat which guards. What, O student, does it guard? And 
				with what oriflamme does it lighten that darkness of 
				manifestation? The polarities are, indeed, present; the 
				separation nonexistent except through the sifting which is the 
				result of cumulative experience. Other impressions were intended 
				by this configuration of the seated image with its milk-white 
				leg and its pointed foot.
 
 
				Questioner: In Card Number Three the feet of the female entity 
				are upon the unstable platform, signifying the dual polarity by 
				its color. In Card Number Four one foot is pointed so that if 
				the male entity stands on the toe it would be carefully 
				balanced. The other foot is pointed to the left. Would Ra 
				comment on my observation that if the entity stands on this foot 
				it will be very, very carefully balanced? Ra: I am Ra. This is an important perception, for it is a key to 
				not only this concept complex but to others as well. You may see 
				the T-square which, at times riven as is one foot from secure 
				fundament by the nature of experience yet still by this same 
				nature of experience, is carefully, precisely, and 
				architecturally placed in the foundation of this concept complex 
				and, indeed, in the archetypical mind complex. Experience 7 has 
				the nature of more effectively and poignantly expressing the 
				architecture of experience, both the fragility of structure and 
				the surety of structure.
 
 
				Questioner: It would seem to me, from the configuration of this 
				male entity in Card Number Four, who looks to the left with the 
				right foot pointed to the left, that this card would indicate 
				you must be in a defensive position with respect to the 
				left-hand path, but there is no need to concern Card Number Four.
 yourself about protection with respect to the right-hand path. 
				Would Ra comment on that?
 Ra: I am Ra. Again, this is not the suggestion we wished to 
				offer by constructing this image. However, the perception cannot 
				be said to be incorrect.
 
 
				Questioner: The magical shape is on the right edge of the Card 
				Number Four which indicates to me that the spiritual experience 
				would be on the right-hand path. Could Ra comment on that? Ra: I am Ra. Yes. The figure is expressing the nature of 
				experience by having its attention caught by what may be termed 
				the left-hand catalyst. Meanwhile, the power, the magic, is 
				available upon the right-hand path.
 The nature of experience is such that the attention shall be 
				constantly given varieties of experience. Those that are 
				presumed to be negative, or interpreted as negative, may seem in 
				abundance. It is a great challenge to take catalyst and devise 
				the magical, positive experience. That which is magical in the 
				negative experience is much longer coming, shall we say, in the 
				third density.
 
 
				Questioner: Both the third and fourth archetypes, as I see it, 
				work together for the sole purpose of creating the polarity in 
				the most efficient manner possible. Is this correct? Ra: I am Ra. This cannot be said to be incorrect. We suggest 
				contemplation of this thought complex.
 
 
				Questioner: Then prior to the veiling process that which we call 
				catalyst after the veiling was not catalyst simply because it 
				was not efficiently creating polarity, because this loading 
				process, you might say, that I have diagrammed, of catalyst 
				passing through the veil and becoming polarized experience, was 
				not in effect because the viewing of what we call catalyst by 
				the entity was seen much more clearly as the experience of the 
				one Creator and not something that was a function of other 
				mind/body/spirit complexes. Would Ra comment on that statement?
				Ra: I am Ra. The concepts discussed seem without significant 
				distortion.
 
 
				Questioner: Thank you. Then we’re expecting, in Card Number 
				Four, to see the result of catalytic action and, therefore, a 
				greater definition between the dark and the light areas. In just 
				glancing at this card we notice that it is more definitely 
				darkly colored in some areas and more white in others in a 
				general sense than in Card Number Three, indicating to me that 
				the separation along the two biases has occurred and should 
				occur in order to follow the blueprint for experience. Could Ra 
				comment on that? Ra: I am Ra. You are perceptive, O student.
 
 
				Questioner: The bird in Card Number Three now seems to be 
				internalized in the center of the entity in Card Number Four in 
				that it has changed from its flight in Card Number Three. The 
				flight has achieved its objective and has become a part, a 
				central part, of the experience. Could Ra comment on that? Ra: I am Ra. This perception is correct, O student, but what 
				shall the student find the bird to signify?
 
 
				Questioner: I would guess that the bird signifies that a 
				communication that comes as catalyst signified in Card Number 
				Three is accepted by the female and, used, becomes a portion of 
				the experience. I’m not sure of that at all. Am I in any way 
				correct? Ra: I am Ra. That bears little of sense.
 
 
				Questioner: I’ll have to work on that. Then I am guessing that the crossed legs of the entity in Card 
				Four have a meaning similar to the crux ansata. Is this correct?
 Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. The cross formed by the living 
				limbs of the image signifies that which is the nature of 
				mind/body/spirit complexes in manifestation within your 
				illusion. There is no experience which is not purchased by 
				effort of some kind, no act of service-to-self or others which 
				does not bear a price, to the entity manifesting, commensurate 
				with its purity. All things in manifestation may be seen in one 
				way or another to be offering themselves in order that 
				transformations may take place upon the level appropriate to the 
				action.
 
 
				Questioner: The bird is within the circle on the front of the 
				entity on Card Four. Would that have the same significance of 
				the circular part of the crux ansata? Ra: I am Ra. It is a specialized form of this meaningful shape. 
				It is specialized in great part due to the nature of the crossed 
				legs of manifestation which we have previously discussed.
 
 
				Questioner: The entity on Card Four wears a strangely shaped 
				skirt. Is there a significance to the shape of this skirt? Ra: I am Ra. Yes.
 
 
				Questioner: The skirt is extended toward the left hand but is 
				somewhat shorter toward the right. There is a black bag hanging 
				from the belt of the entity on the left side. It seems to me 
				that this black bag has a meaning of the acquiring of the 
				material possessions of wealth as a part of the left-hand path. 
				Would Ra comment on that? Ra: I am Ra. Although this meaning was not intended by Ra as 
				part of this complex of concepts we find the interpretation 
				quite acceptable.
 (Thirty second pause.)
 I am Ra. As we observe a lull in the questioning we shall take 
				this opportunity to say that the level of transferred energy 
				dwindles rapidly and we would offer the opportunity for one more 
				full question at this working, if it is desired.
 
 
				Questioner: I would just state that this card, being male, would 
				indicate that as experience is gained the mind becomes the 
				motivator or that which reaches or does more than the simple 
				experiencer it was prior to the gaining of the catalytic action. 
				There is a greater tendency for the mind to direct the 
				mind/body/spirit complex, and other than that I would just ask 
				if there is anything that we can do to make the instrument more 
				comfortable or to improve the contact? Ra: I am Ra. In the context of your penultimate query we would 
				suggest that you ponder again the shape of the garment which the 
				image wears. Such habiliment is not natural. The shape is 
				significant and is so along the lines of your query.
 The support group cares well for the instrument. We would ask 
				that care be taken as the instrument has been offered the gift 
				of a distortion towards extreme cold by the fifth-density friend 
				which greets you.
 Although you may be less than pleased with the accouterments, 
				may we say that all was as carefully prepared as each was able. 
				More than that none can do. Therefore, we thank each for the 
				careful alignments. All is well.
 We leave you, my friends, in the love and in the light of the 
				One Glorious infinite Creator. Go forth, then, rejoicing in the 
				power and in the peace of the One. Adonai.

			RA, Session 95 -
				September 2, 1982 
			 
				
				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 
				fifth-density 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: Thank you. The new room that we choose for this 
				working will of course be carefully cleaned and marred surfaces 
				made well. We shall also use the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser 
				Pentagram prior to a working. Is there anything else that Ra 
				could suggest? I would like, also, to know if there is anything 
				in particular that you might suggest with respect to the 
				particular place that has been chosen for our new location? Ra: I am Ra. We scan the recent memory configurations of the 
				questioner. Firstly, there have been some less than harmonious 
				interactions within this dwelling. The dynamics of this 
				interaction were potent enough to attract a lesser thought-form. 
				Therefore, we suggest the salting and ritual cleansing by 
				blessed water of all windows and doorways which offer adit into 
				the domicile or any out-buildings thereof.
 Further, we suggest the hanging of the cut garlic clove in the 
				portion of the room which has accommodated those whose enjoyment 
				has turned into a darker emotion centering upon the area we find 
				you call the wet bar, also the room intended for the sleeping 
				which is found near the kitchen area. The appropriate words used 
				to bid farewell to those of the lower astral shall be used in 
				connection with the hanging of the garlic cloves for the period 
				of approximately 36 of your hours. We believe that this is 
				equivalent to two of your night periods and one of your lit 
				periods. This should cleanse the house as you find it to the 
				extent that it is neutral in its vibrations of harmony, love, 
				and thanksgiving which this group shall then, as the 
				incarnational experience proceeds, offer to the domicile.
 
 
				Questioner: I am assuming that we would prepare the blessed 
				water the same as we prepare the water for the instrument to 
				drink after a session and would then wipe the windows and doors 
				with this water. This would probably have to be done in a 
				bucket. I would like to know if this is correct, and what was 
				meant by salting the windows and doors? Ra: I am Ra. Firstly, you may bless the water yourselves or may 
				request so-called holy water from any blessed place; that is, 
				blessed by intention. Secondly, the water shall be carefully 
				shaken from the fingers along the sills of all windows and doors 
				as they have been opened. Thirdly, prior to the sprinkling of 
				this cleansing, blessing sacrament of water, the salt shall be 
				trailed along these sills in a line and again allowed to exist 
				in this configuration for 36 to 48 hours. Then the virgin broom 
				may ritually sweep the salt out of each window and doorway, 
				sweeping with each stroke the less fortunate of the vibrations 
				within the dwelling which might find coexistence with group 
				difficult.
 
 
				Questioner: I assume that you mean that we should put the salt 
				only on the outer doorway sills and not on the inner doorway 
				sills in the house. Is that correct? Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. We cannot express the nature of 
				salt and water and garlic with clarity enough to inform you as 
				to the efficacy with which salt absorbs vibrations which have 
				been requested to move into salt when salt has been given water. 
				We cannot express the full magical nature of your water, nor can 
				we express the likeness and attractiveness of the garlic cut to 
				lower astral forms. The attractiveness is negative and no 
				service-to-self astral form will accept coexistence with the cut 
				garlic.
 Therefore, we offer the suggestions. We also request, carefully, 
				that the broom be clean and that the garlic be burned. The 
				virginity of the broom is most efficacious.
 
 
				Questioner: Let me see if I have the scenario correctly in mind. 
				I’ll repeat my version of it. We would hang fresh-cut garlic in 
				the area of the wet bar and in the area of the bedroom that is 
				adjacent to the kitchen area. We would salt all window sills and 
				all outer wall door sills and then sprinkle blessed water from 
				our fingers on the salted areas. We would then say the 
				appropriate words to bid farewell to lower astrals. Those words 
				I am not sure of. Would Ra comment on the scenario that I have 
				stated? Ra: I am Ra. Your grasp of our suggestions is good. We note that 
				the salt be poured in the straight line with no gaps. There are 
				various ritual words of blessing and farewell to entities such 
				as you are removing. We might suggest the following.
 When the salt is laid you may repeat “We praise the one Creator 
				which gave to salt the ability to enable those friends, to which 
				we wish to bid farewell, to find a new home.”
 As the water is sprinkled you may say “We give thanks to the one 
				Creator for the gift of water. Over it the Creator moves Its 
				hand and stirs Its will to be done.”
 The hanging of the cut garlic may be accompanied by the words 
				“We praise the one Creator for the gift of garlic and bless its 
				ability to offer to those friends to whom we wish to bid 
				farewell the arrow which points their way of egress.”
 When the sweeping is done you may say “We praise the one Creator 
				and give thanksgiving for the spiritual cleanliness of this 
				dwelling place.”
 As the garlic is burned you may say “We give thanks to the one 
				Creator for the gift of spiritual cleanliness in our dwelling 
				place and seal the departure of all those who have left by this 
				exit by the consuming of this substance” .
 
 
				Questioner: Is there any place more appropriate than any other 
				to hang the garlic in the room; for instance, over the windows 
				or anything like that? I know that it is supposed to be hung in 
				the area of the bar but I meant in the bedroom. Is there any 
				more appropriate place than another? Ra: I am Ra. The windows and the doorways are most appropriate 
				and, in addition, we suggest the salting and sprinkling of any 
				door which may lead elsewhere than out of the dwelling in order 
				to afford to the entities the understanding that they are not 
				desired elsewhere within the dwelling.
 
 
				Questioner: I understand that the garlic is to be used at the 
				bar area and the bedroom that is close to the kitchen and has an 
				exit onto the carport. If I am correct, those are the only two 
				places that it is to be used. This is correct, isn’t it? Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
 
 
				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.
 
 
				Questioner: Thank you. A question has been asked which I will 
				ask at this time. In processing the catalyst of dreams is there 
				a universal language of the unconscious mind which may be used 
				to interpret dreams, or does each entity have a unique language 
				in its own unconscious mind which it may use to interpret the 
				meaning of dreams? Ra: I am Ra. There is what might be called a partial vocabulary 
				of the dreams due to the common heritage of all mind/body/spirit 
				complexes. Due to each entity’s unique incarnational experiences 
				there is an overlay which grows to be a larger and larger 
				proportion of the dream vocabulary as the entity gains 
				experience.
 
 
				Questioner: Thank you. In the last session you indicated in the 
				statement about the immature male meeting the immature female 
				that the information exchanged was quite different with respect 
				to what occurred because of the veil. Would you give an example 
				of the information exchange prior to the veil for the same case?
				Ra: I am Ra. Given this same case; that is, the random red-ray 
				sexual arousal being activated in both male and female, the 
				communication would far more likely have been to the subject of 
				the satisfying of that red-ray, sexual impulse. When this had 
				occurred other information such as the naming could be offered 
				with clear perception. It is to be noted that the catalyst which 
				may be processed by the pre-veil experience is insignificant 
				compared to the catalyst offered to the thoroughly bemused male 
				and female after the veil. The confusion which this situation, 
				simplistic though it is, offers is representative of the 
				efficiency of the enlargement of the catalytic processes 
				occurring after the veiling.
 
 
				Questioner: For the condition of meeting after the veiling 
				process, either entity will choose, as a function of its 
				previous biases or Card Four, the experience and the way in 
				which it will handle the situation with respect to polarity, 
				therefore probably producing more catalyst for itself along the 
				chosen path of polarization. Would Ra comment on this statement?
				Ra: I am Ra. This statement is correct.
 
 
				Questioner: In Card Four in the last session we spoke of the 
				shape of the skirt and it has occurred to us that the skirt of 
				the entity representing the archetype of the Experience of the 
				Mind is extended to the left to indicate that other-selves would 
				not be able to get close to this entity if it had chosen the 
				left-hand path. There would be a greater separation between it 
				and other-selves, whereas if it had chosen the right-hand path 
				there would be much less of a separation. Would Ra comment on 
				that observation? Ra: I am Ra. The student is perceptive.
 
 
				Questioner: And it seems that the square upon which the entity 
				sits, which is almost totally black, is a representation of the 
				material illusion and the white cat is guarding the right-hand 
				path which is now separated in experience from the left. Would 
				Ra comment on that observation? Ra: I am Ra. O student, your sight almost sees that which was 
				intended. However, the polarities need no guardians. What, then, 
				O student, needs the guard?
 
 
				Questioner: What I meant to say was that the entity is guarded 
				along the right-hand path, once it has chosen this path, from 
				effects of the material illusion that are of the negative 
				polarity. Would Ra comment on that? Ra: I am Ra. This is an accurate perception of our intent, O 
				student. We may note that the great cat guards in direct 
				proportion to the purity of the manifestations of intention and 
				the purity of inner work done along this path.
 
 
				Questioner: From that statement I interpret the following. If 
				the Experience of the Mind has sufficiently chosen the 
				right-hand path, and as total purity is approached in the 
				choosing of the right-hand path, then total imperviousness from 
				the effect of the left-hand catalyst is also approached. Is this 
				correct? Ra: I am Ra. This is exquisitely perceptive. The seeker which 
				has purely chosen the service-to-others path shall certainly not 
				have a variant apparent incarnational experience. There is no 
				outward shelter in your illusion from the gusts, flurries, and 
				blizzards of quick and cruel catalyst.
 However, to the pure, all that is encountered speaks of the love 
				and the light of the one infinite Creator. The cruelest blow is 
				seen with an ambiance of challenges offered and opportunities to 
				come. Thusly, the great pitch of light is held high above such 
				an one so that all interpretation may be seen to be protected by 
				light.
 
 
				Questioner: I have often wondered about the action of random and 
				programmed catalyst with respect to the entity with the very 
				strong positive or negative polarization. Would either polarity 
				be free to a great extent from random catalyst such as great 
				natural catastrophes or warfare or something like that which 
				generates a lot of random catalyst in the physical vicinity of a 
				highly polarized entity? Does this great cat, then, have an 
				effect on such random catalyst on the right-hand path? Ra: I am Ra. In two circumstances this is so. Firstly, if there 
				has been the preincarnative choice that, for instance, one shall 
				not take life in the service of the cultural group, events shall 
				fall in a protective manner. Secondly, if any entity is able to 
				dwell completely in unity the only harm that may occur to it is 
				the changing of the outward physical, yellow-ray vehicle into 
				the more light-filled mind/body/spirit complex’s vehicle by the 
				process of death. All other suffering and pain is as nothing to 
				one such as this.
 We may note that this perfect configuration of the mind, body, 
				and spirit complexes, while within the third-density vehicle, is 
				extraordinarily rare.
 
 
				Questioner: Am I to understand, then, that there is no 
				protection at all if the Experience of the Mind has chosen the 
				left-hand path and that path is traveled? All random catalyst 
				may affect the negatively polarized individual as a function of 
				the statistical nature of the random catalyst. Is this correct?
				Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. You may note some of those of your 
				peoples which, at this space/time nexus, seek places of 
				survival. This is due to the lack of protection when service to 
				self is invoked.
 
 
				Questioner: The possibility of the legs of the entity of Card 
				Four being at right angles was linked with the tesseract8, 
				mentioned in a much earlier session by Ra, as the direction of 
				transformation from space/time into time/space and I was 
				thinking that possibly it was also linked with the crux ansata. 
				Am I in any way correct in this observation? Ra: I am Ra. This shall be the last query of this working, as 
				transferred energy wanes. The observation of the right angles 
				and their transformational meaning is most perceptive, O 
				student. Each of the images leading to the Transformations of 
				Mind, Body, and Spirit and ultimately to the great 
				transformative Choice has the increasing intensity of increasing 
				articulation of concept; that is to say, each image in which you 
				find this angle may increasingly be seen to be a more and more 
				stridently calling voice of opportunity to use each resource, be 
				it experience as you now observe or further images, for the 
				grand work of the adept which builds towards transformation 
				using the spirit’s bountiful shuttle to intelligent infinity. 
				Please ask any brief queries at this space/time.
 tesseract: in speculative mathematics, a cube which has 
				developed at least one additional dimension.
 
 
				Questioner: Is there anything that we can do to make the 
				instrument more comfortable or to improve the contact? Ra: I am Ra. We observe some small worsening of the distortions 
				of the dorsal side. This is due to the nature of the beginning 
				use of the swirling waters. The difficulties are physically 
				accentuated as the swirling waters begin to aid the musculature 
				surrounding the nexi of distortions. We encourage the swirling 
				waters and note that complete immersion in them is somewhat more 
				efficacious than the technique now used .
 We ask that the support group attempt to aid the instrument in 
				remembering to preserve the physical energies and not expend 
				them upon movements associated with the packing, as you call 
				this activity, and the movement between geographical locations 
				upon your sphere.
 The alignments are excellent. All is well.
 We leave you glorying in the love and in the light of the one 
				infinite Creator. Go forth, therefore, rejoicing in the mighty 
				peace of the one infinite Creator. Adonai.

			RA, Session 96 
			-
				September 9, 1982
			 
				
				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 please give me the condition of the 
				instrument? Ra: I am Ra. The physical energy deficit is significantly 
				greater than the last asking. There has been substantive 
				lessening also of the vital energies, although the perquisite 
				degree of energy for mental/emotional distortions of normalcy 
				are yet available.
 
 
				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: The sequence of events that I am considering is 
				first the painting and then the cleaning, then the moving in of 
				the furniture, then the salting and use of garlic. Is this as 
				good as any other sequence or would another sequence be better?
				Ra: I am Ra. Any sequence which results in the cleansing is 
				acceptable. It is to be noted that the thresholds are not to be 
				crossed during the cleansing. Since such stricture upon use of 
				the limen may affect your considerations we make note of this.
 
 
				Questioner: Would Ra comment on the technique of blessing the 
				water that we will use to sprinkle the salt? I assume that we 
				just sprinkle the water directly off of our finger tips onto the 
				line of salt. How much water, in general, should be sprinkled on 
				the salt? How wet should we get it? I would like to get this 
				done right. Ra: I am Ra. The blessing of the water may be that one we have 
				previously given, or it may be that one which is written within 
				the liturgy of this instrument’s distortion of the worship of 
				the one Creator, or it may simply be obtained from what you call 
				your Catholic Church in the form of holy water.
 The intention of blessing is the notable feature of blessed 
				water. The water may be sprinkled not so that all salt is soaked 
				but so that a goodly portion has been dampened. This is not a 
				physical working. The substances need to be seen in their ideal 
				state so that water may be seen to be enabling the salt.
 
 
				Questioner: I have planned to re-draw the tarot cards omitting 
				the extraneous additions by those who came after Ra and I would 
				like quickly to go through those things that I intend to 
				eliminate from each card and ask Ra if there is anything else 
				that should be eliminated to make the cards as they were before 
				the astrological and other appendages were added. I would eliminate all of the letters from the edge of the card 
				with the possible exception of the number of the card. That 
				would be the case for all of the cards. In Card Number One I 
				would eliminate the star, the wand in the Magician’s hand, and I 
				understand that the sphere remains but I am not really sure 
				where it should be. Would Ra comment on that please?
 Ra: I am Ra. Firstly, the elimination of letters is acceptable. 
				Secondly, the elimination of stars is acceptable in all cases. 
				Thirdly, the elimination of the wand is appropriate. Fourthly, 
				the sphere may be seen to be held by the thumb and index and 
				second finger.
 Fifthly, we would note that it is not possible to offer what you 
				may call a pure deck, if you would use this term, of tarot due 
				to the fact that when these images were first drawn there was 
				already distortion in various and sundry ways, mostly cultural.
 Sixthly, although it is good to view the images without the 
				astrological additions, it is to be noted that the more general 
				positions, phases, and characteristics of each concept complex 
				are those which are significant. The removal of all distortions 
				is unlikely and, to a great extent, unimportant.
 
 
				Questioner: I didn’t think that we could ever remove all 
				distortions but it is very difficult to work with or interpret 
				these cards because of the quality of the drawing, and as we go 
				through them we get a better idea of what some of these things 
				are and how they should be drawn. I think that we can improve on 
				the quality of the cards and also remove some of the extraneous 
				material that is misleading. On the second card we should remove the letters and the stars. 
				At the center of the female form here she is wearing something 
				that looks something like a crux ansata and we should change 
				that. Is that correct?
 Ra: I am Ra. We perceive an incomplete query. Please requestion.
 
 
				Questioner: I think that I should put a crux ansata in the place 
				of this thing that looks a little like a crux ansata on the 
				front of the female. Is that correct? Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
 
 
				Questioner: Then as to the thing that she wears on her head, 
				that, I believe, is a bit confusing. What should it be shaped 
				like? Ra: I am Ra. We shall allow the student to ponder this point. We 
				note that although it is an astrologically based addition to the 
				concept complex it is not entirely unacceptable when viewed with 
				a certain feeling. Therefore, we suggest, O student, that you 
				choose whether to remove the crown or to name its meaning in 
				such a way as to enhance the concept complex.
 
 
				Questioner: Would Ra please give me any information possible on 
				the ratios of dimensions, and the shape of the crux ansata as it 
				should be made or drawn? Ra: I am Ra. No.
 
 
				Questioner: In Card Number Three we will remove all the letters 
				and the stars and I assume that the little cups around the 
				outside of the rays representing the sun should be removed? Is 
				that correct? Ra: I am Ra. Yes
 
 
				Questioner: In Card Number Four we will remove all the letters 
				and the stars and it seems that again we have a situation of 
				removing the wand and putting the sphere in the hand. Is that 
				correct? Ra: I am Ra. Again, this is a matter of choice. Though 
				astrological in nature, this particular scepter has 
				possibilities of relevance in the originally intended concept 
				complex.
 This instrument is experiencing some small lack of that 
				distortion which you call proper breathing due to the experience 
				of your near past, as you perceive it. Therefore, as this 
				instrument has requested a substantial enough amount of 
				transferred energy to be retained that it might effect a 
				comfortable re-entry, we shall at this time ask for one more 
				query, after noting the following.
 We did not complete our statement upon the dimensions of the 
				crux ansata. It is given in many places. There are decisions to 
				be made as to which drawing of this image is the appropriate 
				one. We may, of course, suggest viewing the so-called Great 
				Pyramid if the puzzle is desired. We do not wish to work this 
				puzzle. It was designed in order that in its own time it be 
				deciphered. In general, of course, this image has the meaning 
				previously stated.
 
 
				Questioner: Is there anything that we can do to make the 
				instrument more comfortable or to improve the contact? Ra: I am Ra. Continue in harmony, communication, praise, and 
				thanksgiving.
 We would note that this instrument’s distortions would be 
				lessened were it to refrain from the speaking to some extent for 
				a diurnal period or perhaps two if the difficulty remains. We 
				would also recommend against the activity such as running which 
				would cause rapid respiration. This after-effect of the greeting 
				is not necessarily long-lasting. However, as this instrument has 
				some blood vessels in the forward regions of the skull; that is, 
				the integument covering the skull, which are greatly swollen at 
				this time and since this instrument has the distortion known as 
				the streptococcal infection, it is best to be full of care for a 
				short period in order that the distortions do not catapult the 
				entity into longer-term after-effects.
 All is well. We find the alignments satisfactory.
 I am Ra. I leave you in the love and light of the Infinite One. 
				Go forth, therefore, rejoicing in the power and in the peace of 
				the one infinite Creator. Adonai.

				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 please give me the condition of the 
				instrument? Ra: I am Ra. It is as previously stated.
 
 
				Questioner: What is the situation with our fifth-density 
				negative friend? Ra: I am Ra. It is as previously stated.
 
 
				Questioner: Are there any items in the first four cards not of 
				Ra’s intention that we could remove to present a less confusing 
				card as we make our new drawings? Ra: I am Ra. We find much material in this query which would 
				constitute repetition. May we suggest rephrasing the query?
 
 
				Questioner: Possibly I didn’t phrase that the way I meant to. We 
				had already determined the items that should be removed from the 
				first four cards and my question was: had I missed anything that 
				should be removed that was not of Ra’s original intention? Ra: I am Ra. We shall repeat our opinion that there are several 
				concepts which, in each image, are astrologically based. 
				However, these concepts are not without merit within the concept 
				complex intended by Ra, given the perception by the student of 
				these concepts in an appropriate manner.
 We wish not to form that which may be considered by any 
				mind/body/spirit complex to be a complete and infallible series 
				of images. There is a substantial point to be made in this 
				regard. We have been, with the questioner’s aid, investigating 
				the concept complexes of the great architecture of the 
				archetypical mind. To more clearly grasp the nature, the 
				process, and the purpose of archetypes, Ra provided a series of 
				concept complexes. In no way whatsoever should we, as humble 
				messengers of the one infinite Creator, wish to place before the 
				consideration of any mind/body/spirit complex which seeks its 
				evolution the palest tint of the idea that these images are 
				anything but a resource for working in the area of the 
				development of the faith and the will.
 To put this into perspective we must gaze then at the stunning 
				mystery of the one infinite Creator. The archetypical mind does 
				not resolve any paradoxes or bring all into unity. This is not 
				the property of any source which is of the third-density. 
				Therefore, may we ask the student to look up from inward working 
				and behold the glory, the might, the majesty, the mystery, and 
				the peace of oneness. Let no consideration of bird or beast, 
				darkness or light, shape or shadow keep any which seeks from the 
				central consideration of unity.
 We are not messengers of the complex. We bring the message of 
				unity. In this perspective only may we affirm the value to the 
				seeker of adepthood of the grasping, articulating, and use of 
				this resource of the deep mind exemplified by the concept 
				complex of the archetypes.
 
 
				Questioner: Thank you. Card Number Five, the Significator of the 
				Mind, indicates, firstly, as I see it, simply a male within a 
				rectangularly structured form which suggests to me that the 
				Significator of the Mind in third density is well bounded within 
				the illusion, as is also suggested by the fact that the base of 
				the male is a rectangular form showing no ability for movement. 
				Would Ra comment on that? Ra: I am Ra. O student, you have grasped the barest essence of 
				the nature of the Significator’s complete envelopment within the 
				rectangle. Consider for the self, O student, whether your 
				thoughts can walk. The abilities of the most finely honed 
				mentality shall not be known without the use of the physical 
				vehicle which you call the body. Through the mouth the mind may 
				speak. Through the limbs the mind may affect action.
 
 
				Questioner: The entity looks to the left, indicating that the 
				mind has the tendency to notice more easily catalyst of a 
				negative essence. Would Ra comment on that observation? Ra: I am Ra. This is substantially correct.
 
 
				Questioner: There are two small entities at the bottom, one 
				black and one white. I will first ask Ra if this drawing is 
				correct in the coloring? Is the black one in the proper position 
				with respect to Ra’s original drawings? Ra: I am Ra. That which you perceive as black was first red. 
				Other than this difference, the beings in the concept complex 
				are placed correctly.
 
 
				Questioner: The red coloration is a mystery to me. We had 
				originally decided that these represented the polarization of 
				the mind. Would Ra comment on that? Ra: I am Ra. The indications of polarity are as presumed by the 
				questioner. The symbolism of old for the left-hand path was the 
				russet coloration.
 We shall pause at this time if the questioner will be patient. 
				There are fairly serious difficulties with the instrument’s 
				throat. We shall attempt to ameliorate the situation and suggest 
				the rewalking of the Circle of One.
 (The Circle of One was rewalked and breath expelled two feet 
				above the instrument’s head.)
 Ra: I am Ra. Please continue.
 
 
				Questioner: What was the nature of the problem? Ra: I am Ra. The fifth-density entity which greets this 
				instrument affected a previous difficulty distorting the throat 
				and chest area of the instrument. Some fraction of this 
				distortion remained unmentioned by the instrument. It is helpful 
				if the instrument speaks as clearly as possible to the support 
				group of any difficulties that more care may be taken.
 However, we find very little distortion left in the chest area 
				of the instrument. However, immediately preceding the working 
				the instrument was offered an extreme activation of what you may 
				call the allergies and the mucous from the flow which this 
				distortion causes began to cause difficulty to the throat. At 
				this juncture the previous potential for the tightening of the 
				throat was somewhat activated by reflex of the yellow-ray, 
				chemical body over which we have only gross control.
 We would appreciate you reminding us to cause this instrument to 
				cough before or after each query for the remainder of this 
				working. Once conscious, this instrument should have no serious 
				difficulty.
 
 
				Questioner: I was wondering why the dark entity was on the right 
				side of the card in relation to the Significator. Could Ra 
				comment on that after making the instrument cough? Ra:(Cough) The nature of … We pause.
 (Ten second pause.)
 I am Ra. There was a serious pain flare. We may now continue.
 The nature of polarity is interesting in that those experiences 
				offered to the Significator as positive frequently become 
				recorded as productive of biases which may be seen to be 
				negative, whereas the fruit of those experiences apparently 
				negative is frequently found to be helpful in the development of 
				the service-to-others bias. As this is perhaps the guiding 
				characteristic of that which the mind processes and records, 
				these symbols of polarity have thusly been placed.
 You may note that the hands of the central image indicate the 
				appropriate bias for right and left-hand working; that is, the 
				right hand gestures in service-to-others, offering its light 
				outward. The left hand attempts to absorb the power of the 
				spirit and point it for its use alone.
 
 
				Questioner: The eight cartouches at the bottom would possibly 
				signify the energy centers and the evolution through those 
				centers with the possibility for positive or negative 
				polarization because of the white and black coloration of the 
				figures. Would Ra comment on that after making the instrument 
				cough? Ra:(Cough) I am Ra. The observations of the student are 
				perceptive. It is informative to continue the study of octaves 
				in association with this concept complex. Many are the octaves 
				of a mind/body/spirit complex’s beingness. There is not one that 
				does not profit from being pondered in connection with the 
				considerations of the nature of the development of polarity 
				exemplified by the concept complex of your Card Number Five.
 
 
				Questioner: Do the symbols on the face of each of these little 
				cartouches such as the birds and the other symbols have a 
				meaning in this card that is of value in considering the 
				archetypes? Could you answer that after making the instrument 
				cough? Ra:(Cough) I am Ra. These symbols are letters and words much as 
				your language would receive such an entablature. They are, to a 
				great extent, enculturated by a people not of your generation. 
				Let us, in the rough, suggest that the information written upon 
				these cartouches be understood to be such as the phrase, “And 
				you shall be born again to eternal life.”
 
 
				Questioner: Thank you. I thought that the wings on top of the 
				card might indicate the protection of the spirit over the 
				process of evolution. Would Ra comment on that after having the 
				instrument cough? Ra:(Cough) I am Ra. We shall end this session for we are having 
				considerable difficulty in using the sympathetic nervous system 
				in order to aid the instrument in providing sufficient of your 
				air for its respiration. Therefore, we prematurely suggest 
				ending this session.
 Is there any brief query before we leave this instrument?
 
 
				Questioner: It’s not necessary to answer this if you want to end 
				right now for the instrument’s benefit, but is there anything 
				that we can do to improve the contact or make the instrument 
				more comfortable? Ra: I am Ra. All is well. The support group functions well.
 It is suggested that the instrument be encouraged to take steps 
				to recover completely from the distortion towards the aching of 
				the throat and, to a lesser extent, the chest. There is no way 
				in which we or you may remove that working which has been done. 
				It simply must be removed by physical recovery of the normal 
				distortion. This is not easy due to this instrument’s tendency 
				towards allergy.
 The alignments are being carefully considered.
 I am Ra. I leave you, my friends, glorying and rejoicing in the 
				love and the light of the infinite Creator. Go forth, then, in 
				the great dance, empowered by the peace of the one infinite 
				Creator. Adonai.

				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: We now have an additional set of tarot images. Which 
				of these two sets are closer to Ra’s original intention? Ra: I am Ra. The principle which moves in accordance with the 
				dynamics of teach/learning with most efficiency is constancy. We 
				could explore the archetypical mind using that set of images 
				produced by the one known as Fathman or we could use those which 
				have been used.
 In point of fact, those which are being used have some 
				subtleties which enrich the questioning. As we have said, this 
				set of images is not that which we gave. This is not material. 
				We could use any of a multitude of devised tarot sets. Although 
				this must be at the discretion of the questioner, we suggest the 
				maintaining of one and only one set of distorted images to be 
				used for the querying and note that the images you now use are 
				good.
 
 
				Questioner: The wings above Card Five, I am guessing, have to do 
				with a protection over the Significator of the Mind. I am 
				guessing that they are a symbol of protection. Is this in any 
				way correct? Ra: I am Ra. Let us say that you are not incorrect but rather 
				less than correct. The Significator owns a covenant with the 
				spirit which it shall in some cases manifest through the thought 
				and action of the adept. If there is protection in a promise, 
				then you have chosen the correct sound vibration, for the 
				outstretched wings of spirit, high above manifestation, yet draw 
				the caged mind onward.
 
 
				Questioner: Thank you. In Card Number Six I see the 
				Transformation of the Mind, the male with crossed arms, 
				representing transformation. The transformation is possible 
				either toward the left or the right-hand path. The path is 
				beckoned or led by the female, the Potentiator. The one on the 
				right has the serpent of wisdom at the brow and is fully 
				clothed, the one on the left having less clothing and indicating 
				that the Potentiator is more concerned or attracted to the 
				physical as the left-hand path is chosen and more concerned and 
				attracted to the mental as the right-hand path is chosen. The creature above points an arrow at the left-hand path 
				indicating that if this path is chosen the chips, shall we say, 
				will fall where they may, the path being unprotected as far as 
				the activity of catalyst. The intellectual abilities of the 
				chooser of the left-hand path would be the main guardian rather 
				than the designed or built-in protection of the Logos for the 
				right-hand path. The entity firing the arrow seems to be a 
				second density entity which indicates that this catalyst could 
				be produced by a lesser evolved source, you might say. Would Ra 
				comment on these observations?
 Ra: I am Ra. We shall speak upon several aspects seriatim. 
				Firstly, let us examine the crossed arms of the male who is to 
				be transformed. What, O student, do you make of the crossing? 
				What see you in this tangle? There is a creative point to be 
				found in this element which was not discussed overmuch by the 
				questioner.
 Let us now observe the evaluation of the two females. The 
				observation that to the left-hand path moves the roughly 
				physical and to the right-hand path the mental has a shallow 
				correctness. There are deeper observations to be made concerning 
				the relationship of the great sea of the unconscious mind to the 
				conscious mind which may fruitfully be pursued. Remember, O 
				student, that these images are not literal. They haunt rather 
				than explicate.
 Many use the trunk and roots of mind as if that portion of mind 
				were a badly used, prostituted entity. Then this entity gains 
				from this great storehouse that which is rough, prostituted, and 
				without great virtue. Those who turn to the deep mind, seeing it 
				in the guise of the maiden, go forth to court it. The courtship 
				has nothing of plunder in its semblance and may be protracted, 
				yet the treasure gained by such careful courtship is great. The 
				right-hand and left-hand transformations of the mind may be seen 
				to differ by the attitude of the conscious mind towards its own 
				resources as well as the resources of other-selves.
 We now speak of that genie, or elemental, or mythic figure, 
				culturally determined, which sends the arrow to the left-hand 
				transformation. This arrow is not the arrow which kills but 
				rather that which, in its own way, protects. Those who choose 
				separation, that being the quality most indicative of the 
				left-hand path, are protected from other-selves by a strength 
				and sharpness equivalent to the degree of transformation which 
				the mind has experienced in the negative sense. Those upon the 
				right-hand path have no such protection against other-selves for 
				upon that path the doughty seeker shall find many mirrors for 
				reflection in each other-self it encounters.
 
 
				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: In that case I will just ask this short question as 
				we terminate this session. I want to know if the Logos of this 
				system planned for the mating process as possibly depicted in 
				Card Six—I don’t know if this is related to some type of DNA 
				imprinting. In many second-density creatures there seems to be 
				some sort of imprinting that creates a lifetime mating 
				relationship and I was wondering if this was also carried into 
				third density? Ra: I am Ra. There are some of your second-density fauna which 
				have instinctually imprinted monogamous mating processes. The 
				third-density physical vehicle which is the basic incarnational 
				tool of manifestation upon your planet arose from entities 
				thusly imprinted, all the aforesaid being designed by the Logos.
 The free will of third-density entities is far stronger than the 
				rather mild carryover from second-density DNA encoding and it is 
				not part of the conscious nature of many of your 
				mind/body/spirit complexes to be monogamous due to the exercise 
				of free will. However, as has been noted there are many 
				signposts in the deep mind indicating to the alert adept the 
				more efficient use of catalyst. As we have said, the Logos of 
				your peoples has a bias towards kindness.
 
 
				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.

				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 with the exception of 
				the vital energy distortion which leans more towards 
				strength/weakness than the last asking.
 
 
				Questioner: Thank you. To continue with the tarot, I would like 
				to make the additional observation with respect to Card Number 
				Six that with the male’s arms being crossed, if the female to 
				his right pulls on his left hand it would turn his entire body 
				and the same is true for the female on the left pulling on his 
				right hand from the other side. This is my interpretation of 
				what is meant by the tangle of the arms. The transformation, 
				then, occurs by the pull which tends to turn the entity toward 
				the left or the right-hand path. Would Ra comment on that 
				observation? Ra: I am Ra. We shall. The concept of the pull towards mental 
				polarity may well be examined in the light of what the student 
				has already accreted concerning the nature of the conscious, 
				exemplified by the male, and the unconscious, exemplified by the 
				female. Indeed, both the prostituted and the virginal deep mind 
				invite and await the reaching.
 In this image of Transformation of Mind, then, each of the 
				females points the way it would go, but is not able to move, nor 
				are the two female entities striving to do so. They are at rest. 
				The conscious entity holds both and will turn itself one way or 
				the other or, potentially, backwards and forwards, rocking first 
				one way then the other and not achieving the transformation. In 
				order for the Transformation of Mind to occur, one principle 
				governing the use of the deep mind must be abandoned.
 It is to be noted that the triangular shape formed by the 
				shoulders and crossed elbows of consciousness is a shape to be 
				associated with transformation. Indeed, you may see this shape 
				echoed twice more in the image, each echo having its own riches 
				to add to the impact of this complex of concepts.
 
 
				Questioner: Thank you. We will probably return to this card in 
				the next session with more observations after we consider Ra’s 
				comments. To make efficient use of our time at this time I will 
				make some notes with respect to Card Seven. First, the veil between the conscious and unconscious mind is 
				removed. The veil, I assume, is the curtain at the top and is 
				lifted. Even though this veil has been removed the perception of 
				intelligent infinity is still distorted by the beliefs and means 
				of seeking of the seeker. Would Ra comment on that?
 Ra: I am Ra. As one observes the veil of the image of the Great 
				Way of Mind it may be helpful to ideate using the framework of 
				environment. The Great Way of Mind, Body, or Spirit is intended 
				to limn the milieu within which the work of mind, body, or 
				spirit shall be placed.
 Thusly, the veil is shown both somewhat lifted and still 
				present, since the work of mind and its transformation involves 
				progressive lifting of the great veil betwixt the conscious and 
				deep minds. The complete success of this attempt is not properly 
				a portion of third-density work and, more especially, 
				third-density mental processes.
 
 
				Questioner: The fact that the veil is raised higher on the 
				right-hand side indicates to me that the adept choosing the 
				positive polarity would have greater success in penetrating the 
				veil. Would Ra comment? Ra: I am Ra. This is a true statement if it is realized that the 
				questioner speaks of potential success. Indeed, your 
				third-density experience is distorted or skewed so that the 
				positive orientation has more aid than the so-called negative.
 
 
				Questioner: It would also seem to me that, since Ra stated in 
				the last session that the limit of the viewpoint is the source 
				of all distortions9, the very nature of the service-to-self 
				distortions that create the left-hand path are a function of the 
				veil. Therefore, they are dependent, you might say, to some 
				degree on at least a partial continued veiling. Does this make 
				any sense? Ra: I am Ra. There is the thread of logic in what you suppose.
 The polarities are both dependent upon a limited viewpoint. 
				However, the negative polarity depends more heavily upon the 
				illusory separation betwixt the self and all other 
				mind/body/spirit complexes. The positive polarity attempts to 
				see through the illusion to the Creator in each mind/body/spirit 
				complex, but for the greater part is concerned with behaviors 
				and thoughts directed towards other-selves in order to be of 
				service. This attitude, in itself, is full of the stuff of your 
				third-density illusion.
 Ra made this statement in response to a personal question which, 
				along with its answer, was removed from the last session.
 
 
				Questioner: The crown of three stars, we are guessing, would 
				represent the balancing of the mind, body, and spirit. Is this 
				in any way correct? Ra: I am Ra. This device is astrological in origin and the 
				interpretation given somewhat confusing. We deal, in this image, 
				with the environment of mind. It is perhaps appropriate to 
				release the starry crown from its stricture.
 
 
				Questioner: The small black-or russet-and white entities have 
				changed so that they now appear to be sphinxes which we are 
				assuming means that the catalyst has been mastered. I am also 
				assuming that they act as the power that moves the chariot 
				depicted here so this mastery enables the mind in its 
				transformation to become mobile unlike it was prior to this 
				mastery, locked as it was within the illusion. Would Ra comment?
				Ra: I am Ra. Firstly, we ask that the student consider the Great 
				Way not as the culmination of a series of seven activities or 
				functions but as a far more clearly delineated image of the 
				environment within which the mind, body, or spirit shall 
				function. Therefore, the culturally determined creatures called 
				sphinxes do not indicate mastery over catalyst.
 The second supposition, that of placing the creatures as the 
				movers of the chariot of mind, has far more virtue. You may 
				connote the concept of time to the image of the sphinx. The 
				mental and mental/emotional complex ripens and moves and is 
				transformed in time.
 
 
				Questioner: There is the forty-five minute signal. Does Ra 
				suggest a termination of this session, taking into consideration 
				the instrument’s condition? Ra: I am Ra. Information pertinent to this query has been 
				previously covered. The choice of termination time, as you call 
				it, is solely that of the questioner until the point at which we 
				perceive the instrument beginning to use its vital resources due 
				to the absence of transferred or native physical energy. The 
				instrument remains open, as always.
 
 
				Questioner: In that case I will ask only one more question and 
				that will have to do with the sword and the scepter. It seems 
				that the sword would represent the power of the negative adept 
				in controlling other-selves and the scepter would indicate the 
				power of the positive adept operating in the unity of the mind, 
				body, and spirit. However, they seem to be in the opposite hands 
				than I would have guessed. Would Ra comment on these 
				observations? Ra: I am Ra. These symbols are astrological in origin. The 
				shapes, therefore, may be released from their stricture.
 We may note that there is an overriding spiritual environment 
				and protection for the environment of the mind. We may further 
				note that the negatively polarized adept will attempt to fashion 
				that covenant for its own use whereas the positively polarized 
				entity may hold forth that which is exemplified by the 
				astrological sword; that is, light and truth.
 
 
				Questioner: Would there be two more appropriate objects or 
				symbols to have the entity in Card Seven holding other than the 
				ones shown? Ra: I am Ra. We leave this consideration to you, O student, and 
				shall comment upon any observation which you may make.
 
 
				Questioner: Is there anything that we can do to make the 
				instrument more comfortable or to improve the contact? Ra: I am Ra. All is well. The appurtenances are most 
				conscientiously placed. We thank this diligent group. There is 
				much greater distortion towards harmony at this asking and we 
				join you in praise and thanksgiving. This is always the greatest 
				boon to improvement of the contact, for it is the harmony of the 
				group which supports this contact.
 I am Ra. I leave you in the love and the light of the One. Go 
				forth, therefore, rejoicing in the power and in the peace of the 
				one infinite Creator. Adonai.

				infinite Creator. We communicate now. 
 
				Questioner: Could you first please give me the condition of the 
				instrument? Ra: I am Ra. The physical distortions of the instrument remain 
				serious. Further, the vital energies of this mind/body/spirit 
				complex are much diminished, although acceptable for the needs 
				of this working. This is to be noted as the lowest or most 
				distorted vital reading of this all-important energy. The mental 
				and mental/emotional distortions are as last seen.
 We find the will of the instrument, having been unwisely used, 
				to have encouraged the distortions of vital energy. It is well 
				that the instrument ponder this.
 
 
				Questioner: What is the situation with respect to the physical 
				problems with the digestive portions of the body that the 
				instrument had previously? Ra: The yellow-ray—We must correct ourselves. I am Ra. Please 
				expel breath across this instrument’s chest area.
 (This was done as directed.)
 Ra: I am Ra. The channel is now satisfactory. We find the 
				yellow-ray, chemical body of the instrument to be exhausted, but 
				to be attempting the improvement by action such as exercise and 
				diet. We may state that the infection has not completely left 
				the body complex, although it is far less virulent.
 
 
				Questioner: What is the present situation with respect to our 
				fifth-density, service-to-self oriented companion? Ra: I am Ra. This entity has, for some period of your 
				space/time, been at rest. However, it has been alerted to the 
				workings taking place and is soon to be your companion once 
				again.
 
 
				Questioner: Can Ra recommend anything that the instrument can 
				do, or that we can do, to improve any of the energies of the 
				instrument? Ra: I am Ra. This is previously covered material. We have 
				outlined the path the instrument may take in thought.
 
 
				Questioner: I didn’t mean to cover previously covered material. 
				I was hoping-to add to this anything that we could do to 
				specifically focus on at this time, the best possible thing that 
				we or the instrument could do to improve these energies, the 
				salient activity. Ra: I am Ra. Before responding we ask your vigilance during pain 
				flares as the channel is acceptable but is being distorted 
				periodically by the severe physical distortions of the 
				yellow-ray, chemical body of the instrument.
 Those salient items for the support group are praise and 
				thanksgiving in harmony. These the group has accomplished with 
				such a degree of acceptability that we cavil not at the harmony 
				of the group.
 As to the instrument, the journey from worth in action to worth 
				in esse is arduous. The entity has denied itself in order to be 
				free of that which it calls addiction10. This sort of martyrdom, 
				and here we speak of the small but symbolically great sacrifice 
				of the clothing, causes the entity to frame a selfhood in 
				poorness which feeds unworthiness unless the poverty is seen to 
				be true richness. In other words, good works for the wrong 
				reasons cause confusion and distortion. We encourage the 
				instrument to value itself and to see that its true requirements 
				are valued by the self. We suggest contemplation of true 
				richness of being.
 
 
				Questioner: Is there anything else that either we or the 
				instrument could do that would specifically work on the vital 
				energy of the instrument to increase it? Ra: I am Ra. We have come up against the full stop of free will.
 
 
				Questioner: In that case I have a few questions on Card Number 
				Seven in order to finish off our first run-through of the 
				archetypes of the mind. There is a T with two right angles above 
				it on the chest of the entity on Card Seven. We have guessed 
				that the lower T has to do with the possibility of choosing 
				either path in the transformation and the upper two angles 
				represent the great way of the left and the right-hand paths in 
				the mental transformation that makes the change from space/time 
				into time/space, you might say. This is difficult to express. Is 
				anything correct in this? Ra: I am Ra. Yes.
 
 
				Questioner: Would Ra comment on that? Carla made a New Year’s resolution to give up buying clothes for 
				herself for one year.
 Ra: I am Ra. The use of the tau11 and the architect’s square is 
				indeed intended to suggest the proximity of the space/time of 
				the Great Way’s environment to time/space. We find this 
				observation most perceptive.
 The entire mood, shall we say, of the Great Way is indeed 
				dependent upon its notable difference from the Significator. The 
				Significator is the significant self, to a great extent but not 
				entirely influenced by the lowering of the veil.
 The Great Way of the Mind, the Body, or the Spirit draws the 
				environment which has been the new architecture caused by the 
				veiling process and, thusly, dipped in the great, limitless 
				current of time/space.
 
 
				Questioner: I am guessing that the wheels of this chariot 
				indicate the ability of the mind to be able to move in 
				time/space. Is this correct? Ra: I am Ra. We cannot say that the observation is totally 
				incorrect, for there is as much work in time/space as the 
				individual who evokes this complex of concepts has assimilated.
 However, it would be more appropriate to draw the attention to 
				the fact that although the chariot is wheeled, it is not 
				harnessed to that which draws it by a physical or visible 
				harness. What then, O Student, links and harnesses the chariot’s 
				power of movement to the chariot?
 
 
				Questioner: I’ll have to think about that. I’ll come back to 
				that. We were thinking of replacing the sword in the right hand with 
				the magical sphere and putting a downward-pointing scepter in 
				the left hand, similar to Card Five, the Significator, as 
				symbols more appropriate for this card. Would Ra comment on 
				that, please?
 Ra: I am Ra. This is quite acceptable, especially if the sphere 
				may be imaged as spherical and effulgent.
 
 
				Questioner: The bent left leg of the sphinxes indicates a 
				transformation that occurs on the left that doesn’t occur on the 
				right, possibly an inability in that position to move. Does this 
				have any merit? Ra: I am Ra. The observation has merit in that it may serve as 
				the obverse of the connotation intended. The position is 
				intended to show two items, one of which is the dual 
				possibilities of the time-full characters there drawn.
 The resting is possible in time, as is the progress. If a 
				mixture is attempted, the upright, moving leg will be greatly 
				hampered by the leg that is bent.
 tau: in heraldry, a type of cross called a “tau cross.”
 The other meaning has to do with the same right angle, with its 
				architectural squareness, as the device upon the breast of the 
				actor.
 Time/space is close in this concept complex, brought close due 
				to the veiling process and its efficaciousness in producing 
				actors who wish to use the resources of the mind in order to 
				evolve.
 
 
				Questioner: I am assuming that the skirt is skewed to the left 
				for the same reason that it is in Card Number Four, indicating 
				the distance service-to¬self polarized entities keep from 
				others, and I am also assuming that the face is turned to the 
				left for the same reason that it is in Card Number Five, because 
				of the nature of catalyst. Is this roughly correct? Ra: I am Ra. Please expel breath over the breast of the 
				instrument from right to left.
 (This was done as directed.)
 I am Ra. That is well.
 Your previous supposition is indeed roughly correct. We might 
				also note that we, in forming the original images for your 
				peoples, were using the cultural commonplaces of artistic 
				expression of those in Egypt. The face is drawn to the side most 
				often, as are the feet turned. We made use of this and, thus, 
				wish to soften the significance of the side-long look. In no 
				case thus far in these deliberations, however, has any 
				misinterpretation or unsuitable interpretation been drawn.
 
 
				Questioner: Our appropriate time limit for this working, I 
				believe, is rapidly approaching, so I would like to ask what was 
				the problem in this session when twice in this session we had to 
				expel breath over the instrument’s chest? Ra: I am Ra. This instrument is unaware of the method used to 
				contact Ra. However, its desire was particularly strong, at the 
				outset of this working, for this working to transpire. Thus it 
				inadvertently was somewhat premature in its leaving of the 
				yellow-ray, physical body.
 In this state the object was dropped upon the instrument which 
				you call the tie-pin microphone. The unexpected contact caused 
				injury of the chest muscles and we would advise some care 
				depending from this working to avoid stress so that this injury 
				may heal. There is a metaphysical component to this injury and, 
				therefore, we wished to be quite sure that all portions of the 
				environment were cleansed. Since this place of working has not 
				its usual level of protection we used your breath to so cleanse 
				the environment, which was at risk.
 
 
				Questioner: Is the reason for this lack of protection the fact 
				that it has been a considerable time since we have worked in 
				here? Ra: I am Ra. No.
 
 
				Questioner: What is the reason? Ra: I am Ra. The lack of regular repetition of the so-called 
				Banishing Ritual is the lack of which we spoke.
 
 
				Questioner: From this I assume that it would be most appropriate 
				to perform the Banishing Ritual daily in this room. Is this 
				correct? Ra: I am Ra. That is acceptable.
 
 
				Questioner: I don’t want to overtire the instrument. We’re 
				running close to time here. I will just ask if there is anything 
				that we can do to improve the contact or to make the instrument 
				more comfortable, and anything else that Ra could state at this 
				time that would aid us? Ra: I am Ra. We find the alignments quite fastidiously observed. 
				You are conscientious. Continue in support, one for the other, 
				and find the praise and thanksgiving that harmony produces. Rest 
				your cares and be merry.
 I am Ra. I leave you, glorying in the love and in the light of 
				the one infinite Creator. Go forth, therefore, rejoicing in the 
				power and in the peace of the one infinite Creator. Adonai.

			Note To Our 
			Readers    
			As we look back over the material in 
			Volume Four, we find the following statement by Ra from
			Session #97 to be the key for this beginning of the study of 
			the archetypical mind.  
			We wish not to form that which may be considered by any 
			mind/body/spirit complex to be a complete and infallible series of 
			images. There is a substantial point to be made in this regard. We 
			have been, with the questioner’s aid, investigating the concept 
			complexes of the great architecture of the archetypical mind. To 
			more clearly grasp the nature, the process, and the purpose of 
			archetypes, Ra provided a series of concept complexes. In no way 
			whatsoever should we, as humble messengers of the One Infinite 
			Creator, wish to place before the consideration of any 
			mind/body/spirit complex, which seeks its evolution, the palest tint 
			of the idea that these images are anything but a resource for 
			working in the area of the development of the faith and the will.
 
			To put this into perspective we must gaze then at the stunning 
			mystery of the One Infinite Creator. The archetypical mind 
			does not resolve any paradoxes or bring all into unity. This is not 
			the property of any source which is of the third density. Therefore, 
			may we ask the student to look up from inward working and behold the 
			glory, the might, the majesty, the mystery, and the peace of 
			oneness. Let no consideration of bird or beast, darkness or light, 
			shape or shadow keep any which seeks from the central consideration 
			of unity.
 
			We are not messengers of the complex. We bring the message of 
			unity. In this perspective only may we affirm the value to the 
			seeker of adepthood of the grasping, articulating, and use of this 
			resource of the deep mind exemplified by the concept Complex of the 
			archetypes.

			Epilogue
			 
			After 106 sessions the Ra contact ended with Don Elkin’s death on 
			November 7, 1984, after a year of declining health. It was the 
			harmony between the three of us that supported the Ra contact, thus 
			we no longer work with Ra nor the trance state but now channel other 
			Confederation sources. If you are interested in our other books or 
			tapes, we will be happy to send you information about them. Write:
