			RA, Fragment 45  
				
				Jim: The first few questions and responses in this session are more 
			of the nuts and bolts maintenance which we constantly found 
			ourselves having to deal with in keeping up with both Carla’s 
			arthritic flare-ups of pain and our fifth-density negative friend’s 
			accentuating of these difficulties.  
				Toward the beginning of Session 92 in Book Four of The Law Of One, 
			one of Ra’s responses was “There is the need for the instrument to 
			choose the manner of its beingness. It has the distortion, as we 
			have noted, towards the martyrdom. This can be evaluated and choices 
			made only by the entity.” And at the end of that same session, Ra 
			added “The instrument, itself, might ponder some earlier words and 
			consider their implications. We say this because the continued 
			calling upon vital energies, if allowed to proceed to the end of the 
			vital energy, will end this contact. There is not the need for 
			continued calling upon these energies. The instrument must find the 
			key to this riddle or face a growing loss of this particular service 
			at this particular space/time nexus.” The last part of the personal 
			material from Session 94 consists of a query from Carla upon which 
			she pondered long concerning the riddle which Ra had presented in 
			Session 92. The riddle was Ra’s way of maintaining Carla’s free will 
			and at the same time giving her a direction for thought which might 
			enhance both her own growth and the service of the contact to 
			others.
 
				Carla: As time went on, we fiddled around more and more with 
			clothing and such, trying to maximize my comfort and the length of 
			sessions. I was warmly clothed, all in white, with the white 
			comforter placed so it did not drag down the arms, and then my hands 
			were gloved, and the kind of tubing used to vent washer/dryers went 
			over both hands up to about the elbow, to keep the weight of the 
			cover off them completely. It was a job just getting dressed for the 
			sessions. It seems almost funny when one looks back on it, that we 
			kept on with such perseverance. But at the time, there was only one 
			thought between us three, and that was to continue this contact and 
			learn all we could. I think if it happened again, I’d do the same 
			thing again: give my utmost. And I imagine Jim would say the same. 
			Without question Don was also absolutely single-minded about 
			pursuing the questioning with Ra. He felt that this was the 
			culmination of his life’s work. If we were somewhat wearied and even 
			battered by the conditions we had to work in, that was acceptable. 
			And we did indeed all feel the weariness.
 
				I appreciate the point those of Ra make concerning my gift of faith. 
			It has been true for as long as I can remember that I have enjoyed 
			that attitude of faith and hope. It may well be why I am alive 
			today, while Don is a soldier fallen in the spiritual battle. Don 
			was a person of infinite dignity, intelligence and ethical purity, 
			but always a somewhat melancholy man under the mask of polite 
			courtesy, efficiency and professorial charm that he wore to meet the 
			world. Much has been given me in this life in the way of gifts, but 
			this is surely the most precious.
 
				Doesn’t Ra offer a marvelous perspective to the myopic spiritual 
			eye, in suggesting that I was only looking at what still needed 
			doing, rather than giving thanks for what had come around already? I 
			have often taken their advice and pondered the merits of judging as 
			the stern critic that would have everything just so. Life is messy, 
			and often things are very much untidy, and that needs to be 
			released, forgiven and accepted.
 And Ra’s final thought is truly a jewel. What, after all, is all our 
			striving in the end, including this contact and all human thought, 
			but a vain and empty folly? We cannot move from illusion to truth in 
			this body, on this plane of existence. So where is our truest and 
			central service? Not in the doing but in the being, in allowing the 
			true self, that open-hearted lover of all things in creation, to 
			share its essence with the world, and to allow the love and light of 
			the Infinite One to pass through it and radiate into the planetary 
			consciousness. That is our true geste, all of us who have come here 
			at this time to be of service: being, living a devotional and 
			devoted life.
 
 
 Session 94, August 26, 1982
 
 Questioner: I have questions here from the instrument. The first one 
			is, “Is our fifth-density friend responsible for the instrument’s 
			extreme distortion towards pain during and just after sessions?”
 Ra: I am Ra. Yes.
 
 Questioner: Is there anything that we can do that we are not doing 
			to remedy this situation so that the instrument does not experience 
			this pain, or as much pain?
 Ra: I am Ra. There Is little that can be done due to a complex of 
			pre-existing distortions. The distortions are triple in the source.
 There is the, shall we say, less than adequate work of your 
			chirurgeons which allows for various distortions in the left wrist 
			area.
 There is the distortion called systemic lupus erythematosus which 
			causes the musculature of the lower left and right arms to allow for 
			distortions in the normal, shall we say, configuration of both.
 Lastly, there is the nerve damage, more especially to the left, but 
			in both appendages from the thoracic outlet.
 In the course of the waking behavior the instrument can respond to 
			the various signals which ring the tocsin of pain, thus alerting the 
			mind complex, which in turn moves the physical complex in many and 
			subtle configurations which relieve the various distortions. Your 
			friend greets these distortions, as has been stated before, 
			immediately prior to the beginning of the working. However, during 
			the working the instrument is not with its yellow-ray chemical 
			vehicle and thusly the many small movements which could most 
			effectively aid in the decrease of these distortions are not 
			possible. Ra must carefully examine the mental configurations of the 
			mind complex in order to make even the grossest manipulation. It is 
			not our skill to use a yellow-ray vehicle.
 The weight of the cover has some deleterious effect upon these 
			distortions in some cases and thus we mentioned that there was a 
			small thing which could be done; that is, the framing of that which 
			lifted the coverlet from the body slightly. In order to compensate 
			for loss of warmth the wearing of material warming the manual 
			appendages would then be indicated.
 
 Questioner: I immediately think of the instrument wearing long 
			underwear under the robe that it now wears and an extremely light, 
			white cover. Would this be satisfactory?
 Ra: I am Ra. Due to this instrument’s lack of radiant physical 
			energy the heavier cover is suggested.
 
 Questioner: In your statement, at the beginning of it, you said 
			“less than adequate work of” and then there was a word that I didn’t 
			understand at all. Are you familiar with the word that I am trying 
			to understand?
 Ra: I am Ra. No.
 
 Questioner: Then we’ll have to wait until we transcribe the 
			material. I assume that our fifth-density negative friend doesn’t 
			cause these distortions all of the time because he wishes to 
			emphasize the fact that the instrument is going to be distorted only 
			if she attempts one of these service-to-others workings and, 
			therefore, attempts to stifle the workings. Is this correct?
 Ra: I am Ra. This is partially correct. The incorrect portion is 
			this: The entity of which you speak has found its puissance1 less 
			than adequate to mount a continuous assault upon this instrument’s 
			physical vehicle and has, shall we say, chosen the more effective of 
			the space/time nexi of this instrument’s experience for its service.
 puissance: The power to accomplish or achieve; potency [< OF].
 
 Questioner: Could you tell me why I have felt so tired on several 
			recent occasions?
 Ra: I am Ra. This has been covered in previous material.
 The contact which you now experience costs a certain amount of the 
			energy which each of the group brought into manifestation in the 
			present incarnation. Although the brunt of this cost falls upon the 
			instrument, it is caparisoned by pre-incarnative design with the 
			light and gladsome armor of faith and will to a far more conscious 
			extent than most mind/body/spirit complexes are able to enjoy 
			without much training and initiation.
 Those of the support group also offer the essence of will and faith 
			in service to others, supporting the instrument as it releases 
			itself completely in the service of the one Creator. Therefore, each 
			of the support group also experiences a weariness of the spirit 
			which is indistinguishable from physical energy deficit except that 
			if each experiments with this weariness each shall discover the 
			physical energy in its usual distortion.
 
 Questioner: Thank you. I didn’t mean to go over previous material. I 
			should have phrased my question more carefully. That is what I 
			expected. I was trying to get a confirmation of my suspicion. I 
			suspected that. I will try to be more careful in questioning.
 The second question from the instrument says, “While on vacation I 
			uncovered a lot about myself not consciously known before. It seems 
			to me that I have coasted a lot on the spiritual gifts given at 
			birth and never have spent any time getting to know my human self 
			which seems to be a child, immature and irrational. Is this so?”
 Ra: I am Ra. This is partially correct.
 
 Questioner: Then she says, “If this is so, this seems to be part of 
			the riddle about the manner of my beingness that Ra spoke of. I fear 
			that if I do not work successfully on my human distortions I shall 
			be responsible for losing the contact. Yet also Ra suggests the 
			over-dedication to any outcome is unwise. Could Ra comment on these 
			thoughts?”
 Ra: I am Ra. We comment in general first upon the query about the 
			contact which indicates once again that the instrument views the 
			mind/body/spirit complex with jaundiced eye. Each mind/body/spirit 
			complex that is seeking shall almost certainly have the immature and 
			irrational behaviors. It is also the case that this entity, as well 
			as almost all seekers, has done substantial work within the 
			framework of the incarnative experience and has indeed developed 
			maturity and rationality. That this instrument should fail to see 
			that which has been accomplished and see only that which remains to 
			be accomplished may well be noted. Indeed, any seeker discovering in 
			itself this complex of mental and mental/emotional distortions shall 
			ponder the possible non-efficacy of judgment.
 As we approach the second portion of the query we view the 
			possibility of infringement upon free will. However, we believe we 
			may make reply within the boundaries of the Law of Confusion.
 This particular instrument was not trained, nor did it study, nor 
			worked it at any discipline in order to contact Ra. We were able, as 
			we have said many times, to contact this group using this instrument 
			because of the purity of this instrument’s dedication to the service 
			of the one infinite Creator and also because of the great amount of 
			harmony and acceptance enjoyed each by each within the group; this 
			situation making it possible for the support group to function 
			without significant distortion.
 We are humble messengers. How can any thought be taken by an 
			instrument as to the will of the Creator? We thank this group that 
			we may speak through it, but the future is mazed. We cannot know 
			whether our geste may, after one final working, be complete. Can the 
			instrument, then, think for a moment that it shall cease in the 
			service of the one infinite Creator? We ask the instrument to ponder 
			these queries and observations.

			RA, Fragment 46
			 
				
				Jim: Don’s job as a pilot for Eastern Airlines saw him based in 
			Atlanta. Commuting to and from Atlanta became more and more wearing 
			on him and reduced the amount of time available for Ra sessions due 
			to his absence and due to the time needed for him to recover from 
			his weariness when he was home. Thus, in the fall of 1982 we found a 
			house near the airport in Atlanta that we thought we would move to 
			so Don’s commuting time would be reduced. It had previously been 
			inhabited by people who had trafficked in illegal drugs and who had 
			apparently had numerous disharmonious experiences within the 
			dwelling that was to become our new home. These unfortunate 
			experiences by the former tenants had apparently attracted 
			elementals and lower astral entities into the house which Carla was 
			somewhat able to perceive.  
				She wanted very much to move into the house because it would have 
			greatly helped Don to be that close to his work. She wanted to buy 
			new carpeting to replace the soiled one, or failing that, to begin 
			scrubbing the carpet to cleanse the house of the undesirable 
			presences, but the limitations of our budget and her arthritis made 
			that impossible. Thus a blue-ray blockage of communication occurred 
			which, two days later while she was on her daily walk, was entered 
			by our fifth-density, negative friend and enhanced in the magical 
			sense until she was unable to breathe for about thirty seconds. This 
			was symbolic of her inability to talk to Don about what the house 
			needed. Keeping calm during the distress saw her through it, and 
			talking to Don about the house cleared the blockage.
 
				The queries about the malfunctioning tape recorder refer to strange 
			sounds that came from it a few days later when Carla was trying to 
			record some of her singing to send to a friend.
 
				The last portion of this session returns to the subject of the house 
			next to the airport in Atlanta that was to become our new home. In 
			our personal and fallible opinions it is from this point that the 
			difficulties that eventually led to Don’s death may be traced. When 
			we returned to our home in Louisville from looking at the new 
			home-to-be in Atlanta, we had just walked in the front door when, 
			all of the sudden, a hawk with a wing span of at least four feet 
			landed outside of our kitchen window, remained for a few moments, 
			and then flew off over the tree tops. Carla and I took the 
			appearance of the hawk as a sign confirming the desirability of the 
			house in Atlanta as our new home. Don, however, was not sure that 
			the hawk was a good sign, and he began to doubt whether we should 
			move to the house after all.
 
				Carla: I cannot tell you just how sorry I was that the Atlanta 
			“farm” they were talking about here did not work out as a dwelling 
			place for us. In it, Don was just three miles from the airport. It 
			was a very nice place, although peculiar in that the house simply 
			ended with no wall between it and the adjoining horse barn. It was 
			less expensive to rent than the place we had in Louisville, it was a 
			milder climate, and there was room for Jim to stretch out and have 
			his own place, and Don and me to do likewise. What foiled it was an 
			attitude of Don’s that was deeply characteristic, and I imagine 
			stemmed from growing up in the depression. He did not want to spend 
			the money to get the place really clean. The dirtiness of the place 
			was everywhere, it had been neglected for some time, dusted and 
			vacuumed occasionally, but any spills were left as they fell, and 
			there was the slight patina of ground-in dirt that only good soap 
			would get, and much hard scrubbing. The most logical solution to me 
			was simply to replace the floor covering throughout the dirtied 
			area. Barring that, hiring a good cleaning agency with professional 
			equipment would have sufficed. Don wished to do neither of these 
			things.
 
				When the hawk flew, and Don took it as a bad omen, that was it. 
			There was no more to discuss, as far as Don was concerned. At that 
			point, as Jim has said, there was a definite shift in Don’s peace of 
			mind. He was more concerned about having enough energy to work as a 
			pilot than ever, and yet everything seemed to be too much trouble. 
			When we tried to buy the Louisville house from its owner, there was 
			a $5,000.00 dispute that the owner and Donald developed that put the 
			quietus on that deal. So we had to move somewhere, as the owner of 
			the Louisville property was selling it out from under us. Don 
			eventually OK’d a lovely and pricey house on Lake Lanier, about 40 
			bad miles from the airport. What we hadn’t realized was that Atlanta 
			traffic is terrible; after the Olympics were held there, the whole 
			nation became aware of that. And Don had to drive from the extreme 
			north of the traffic tangle to the extreme south, where the airport 
			lay. He spent more time getting there from the lake house than he 
			had done from Louisville, since all he had to do in Louisville was 
			take a short drive to the airport and commute for an hour to 
			Atlanta. The driving from the lake was always an hour and a half to 
			two hours, because of the traffic. There simply seemed no relief and 
			no solution at that house. And so began a difficult experience for 
			all three of us, who somehow had no safe place to be.
 
				If Donald had been normal, he would have been talking a good deal 
			about his various fears. But Don was Don, a wonderful, wise, 
			charming, funny and truly great man, but an unique man who had from 
			an early age pretended he had no preferences and was only an 
			observer. After his death I found out that he was developing real 
			fears about losing me to Jim. But to me he said nothing, following 
			his usual practice of behaving as though he had no preferences. So I 
			was utterly confused. I figured he was just upset about having the 
			right place, and spent countless hours poring over newspaper ads 
			trying to find him a place he felt good about, but to no avail. From 
			this point on, we were never at peace. And little by little, I 
			realized at a deep level that something serious was going wrong with 
			Don. He began acting very unlike himself, being unwilling to leave 
			my presence to the point of listening to my music rehearsals, 
			watching me exercise, sleeping in my room, all things the usual Don 
			would scorn. I did not take these things as positive, for I truly 
			loved the irascible and indifferent Don and longed to have him back.
 
				I was grieving for Donald for months while he was still alive, for 
			he quickly changed to the point that neither I not he himself could 
			recognize him. This was a time of the most profound distress for Don 
			and for me. Jim was deeply concerned about both of us, but was 
			pretty stable. Both Don and I went rather quickly beyond the bounds 
			of normalcy. I suffered a breakdown. I asked for and got help from 
			family, friends and therapists. So I walked through my nervous 
			breakdown, continuing to function at a basic level. Don suffered a 
			breakdown also, but his came with a real break from reality, and he 
			was in a place where it seemed no one, most of all I, could help 
			him.
 
 
 Session 96, September 9, 1982
 
 Questioner: Could you tell me the cause of the lessening of the 
			physical and vital energies?
 Ra: I am Ra. We found the need of examining the mental 
			configurations of the instrument before framing an answer due to our 
			reluctance to infringe upon its free will. Those concepts relating 
			to the spiritual contemplation of personal catalyst have been 
			appreciated by the entity so we may proceed.
 This entity has an habitual attitude which is singular; that is, 
			when there is some necessity for action the entity is accustomed to 
			analyzing the catalyst in terms of service and determining a course. 
			There was a most unusual variation in this configuration of attitude 
			when this instrument beheld the dwelling which is to be inhabited by 
			this group. The instrument perceived those elementals and beings of 
			astral character of which we have spoken. The instrument desired to 
			be of service by achieving the domicile in question but found its 
			instincts reacting to the unwelcome presences. The division of mind 
			configuration was increased by the continuing catalyst of lack of 
			control. Had this entity been able to physically begin cleansing the 
			dwelling the, shall we say, opening would not have occurred.
 Although this entity attempted clear communication upon this matter, 
			and although each in the support group did likewise, the amount of 
			blue-ray work necessary to uncover and grasp the nature of the 
			catalyst was not affected. Therefore, there was an opening quite 
			rare for this mind/body/spirit complex and into this opening the one 
			which greets you moved and performed what may be considered to be 
			the most potent of its purely magical manifestations to this present 
			nexus, as you know time.
 It is well that this instrument is not distorted towards what you 
			may call hysteria, for the potential of this working was such that 
			had the instrument allowed fear to become greater than the will to 
			persevere when it could not breathe, each attempt at respiration 
			would have been even more nearly impossible until the suffocation 
			occurred which was desired by the one which greets you in its own 
			way. Thus the entity would have passed from this incarnation.
 
 Questioner: Does this threat, shall I say, still exist and, if so, 
			is there something that we can do to alleviate it?
 Ra: I am Ra. This threat no longer exists, if you wish to phrase 
			this greeting in this manner. The communication which was affected 
			by the scribe and then by the questioner did close the opening and 
			enable the instrument to begin assimilating the catalyst it had 
			received.
 
 Questioner: Was the unusual sound on the instrument’s tape recorder 
			that occurred while she was trying to record her singing a greeting 
			from our fifth-density, negative associate?
 Ra: I am Ra. No. Rather it was a greeting from a malfunctioning 
			electronic machine.
 
 Questioner: There was no catalyst for that machine to malfunction 
			from any of the negative entities then. Is that right? It was only a 
			function of the random malfunction of the machine. Am I correct?
 Ra: I am Ra. No.
 
 Questioner: What was the origin of this malfunction?
 Ra: I am Ra. There are two difficulties with the machine. Firstly, 
			this instrument has a strong effect upon electromagnetic and 
			electronic machines and instruments, and likely, if continued use of 
			these is desired, should request that another handle the machines. 
			Also, there was some difficulty from physical interference due to 
			the material you call tape catching upon adjoining, what you would 
			call, buttons when the “play” button, as you call it, is depressed.
 
 Questioner: How is Ra able to know all of this information? This is 
			somewhat of an unimportant question, but it is just amazing to me 
			that Ra is able to know all of these trivial things. What do you do, 
			move in time/space and inspect the problem or what?
 Ra: I am Ra. Your former supposition is correct, your latter 
			unintelligible to us.
 
 Questioner: You mean that you move in time/space and inspect the 
			situation to determine the problem. Is that correct?
 Ra: I am Ra. This is so.
 
 Questioner: Was there a significance with respect to the hawk that 
			landed the other day just outside the kitchen window?
 Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. We may note that we find it 
			interesting that queries offered to us are often already known. We 
			assume that our confirmation is appreciated.
 
 Questioner: This seems to be connected with the concept of the bird 
			being messengers in the tarot and this was a demonstration of this 
			concept. I was wondering about the mechanics, you might say, of this 
			type of message. I assume that the hawk was a messenger, and I 
			assume that as I thought of the possible meaning of this with 
			respect to our activities I was, in the state of free will, getting 
			a message in the appearance of this very unusual bird, unusual, I 
			say, in that it came so close. I would be very interested to know 
			the origin of the message. Would Ra comment on this, please?
 Ra: I am Ra. No.
 
 Questioner: I was afraid that you would say that. Am I correct in 
			assuming that this is the same type of communication as depicted in 
			Card Number Three of the Catalyst of the Mind?
 Ra: I am Ra. We may not comment due to the Law of Confusion. There 
			is an acceptable degree of confirmation of items known, but when the 
			recognized subjective sigil2 is waved and the message not clear, 
			then it is that we must remain silent.
 
 
				sigil: A seal or signet; a mark or sign supposed to exercise occult 
			power [< L siggilum seal]. 
 
				
				Go Back 
			   
			RA, Fragment 47
			 
				
				Jim: After more thought on the subject of the hawk, Don again 
			queried Ra about its significance. Since Ra did not wish to infringe 
			upon Don’s free will by clearly explaining the meaning of the 
			hawk—and thus making Don’s decision to move or not move to the house 
			for him—the most Ra could do was speak in an indirect sense, in a 
			kind of riddle that required that Don, and each of us, make our own 
			determinations. The extreme desire on the part of any positive 
			entities such as Ra to maintain the free will of each person on our 
			third-density planet is due to the fact that if an entity such as Ra 
			gives information that could change one’s future choices, that 
			entity, then, has not only taught the third-density being but has 
			learned for it.    
				By learning for it, it has removed the spiritual 
			strength that comes to one who struggles and finally learns for 
			him/herself. In the larger view this is not seen as a service but as 
			a disservice. Because of Don’s doubt about the appropriateness of 
			the house in Atlanta as our next home, we did not move to that house 
			but remained in Louisville for another year. It was the fall of 1983 
			before we finally found another house in the Atlanta area and moved 
			there. By that time Don’s weariness had increased to the critical 
			point and he had begun worrying more and more about whether he was 
			even going to have a job since Eastern airlines was rapidly failing 
			financially.  
				Carla: Ah, to be able to read aright the little hints that the 
			Creator always seems to be offering us! Both Jim and I thought the 
			hawk was simply a confirmation of that location. But Don was the 
			boss, and he really felt unsure, to the point that he left, for a 
			time, the idea of moving completely, and tried to purchase the house 
			we were renting. As I mentioned, the difference of about 4% of the 
			house’s cost was in dispute, and Donald did not see his way clear to 
			giving the rather greedy owner an extra bonus for having us over the 
			barrel of “buy or move.” So in the end we were forced to move 
			somewhere, either in Louisville or Atlanta. It was a fateful move, 
			attended from the beginning by struggles and problems. The sad tale 
			of our demise as a group able to contact Ra was beginning.
 
 
 Session 97, September 15, 1982
 
 Questioner: I’ve been doing some consideration of the appearance of 
			the hawk and have made this analysis of the bird in Card Number 
			Three. The bird is a message from the higher self, and the position 
			of the wings on Card Three, one pointing toward the female, 
			indicates that it is a message to the female acting as catalyst for 
			the mind. The position of the downward wing indicates that the 
			message is of a negative nature or of a nature indicating the 
			inappropriateness of certain mental activity or plans. Would Ra 
			comment on that?
 Ra: I am Ra. No.
 
 Questioner: Is the reason for this lack of comment the first 
			distortion?
 Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
 
 Questioner: I have analyzed the hawk that I saw immediately after 
			returning from the house in Atlanta as a message, probably from my 
			higher self, indicating that the plan of moving was not the best or 
			not too appropriate since, without the hawk, we would have continued 
			as planned with no added catalyst. This single catalyst of a 
			remarkable nature then, logically, from my point of view, could only 
			mean that there was a message as to the inappropriateness of the 
			plan for some reason yet to be discovered. Would Ra comment on that?
 Ra: I am Ra. We tread as close as possible to the Law of Confusion 
			in suggesting that not all winged creatures have an archetypical 
			meaning. We might suggest that the noticing of shared subjectively 
			notable phenomena is common when, in another incarnational 
			experience, work significant to the service of increased polarity 
			has been shared. These subjectively interesting shared phenomena 
			then act as a means of communication, the nature of which cannot be 
			discussed by those outside of the shared incarnational experience 
			without the interference with the free will of each entity involved 
			in the complex of subjectively meaningful events.
 
 Questioner: Can Ra tell us the source of the unusual odor in this 
			room this morning?
 Ra: I am Ra. There are two components to this odor. One is, as has 
			been surmised, the decomposing physical vehicle of one of your 
			second-density Rodentia. The second is an elemental which is 
			attempting to take up residence within the putrefying remains of 
			this small creature.
 The cleansing of the room and the burning of the incense has 
			discouraged the elemental. The process of decomposition shall, in a 
			short period of your space/time, remove the less than harmonious 
			sensations provided for the nose.
 
 Questioner: I find myself presently in a difficult position of 
			decision, primarily because of the appearance of the aforementioned 
			hawk upon our return from Atlanta. The only objective of any value 
			at all is the work that we are doing which includes not only the 
			contact but communication and dissemination of this material to 
			those who might request it. Since a move was connected with that, 
			and since the hawk was, to me, obviously a function of that process, 
			I am presently in a quandary with respect to the optimal situation 
			since I have not yet definitely decided on the significance of the 
			hawk or the advantages or the efficaciousness of the move and do not 
			want to create any process which is basically irreversible if it is 
			going to result in a lack of our ability to be of service to those 
			who would seek that which we are able to manifest in our efforts. 
			Would Ra comment on that situation?
 Ra: I am Ra. The questioner presumes much, and to comment is an 
			infringement upon its free will. We may suggest the pondering of our 
			previous comments regarding the winged creatures of which you speak. 
			We repeat that any place of working, properly prepared by this 
			group, is acceptable to Ra. The discrimination of choice is yours.

				Jim: Session 98 is presented in total here. Our experiences were 
			beginning to become a little more unusual and difficult at this 
			point in our lives. We had difficulty agreeing on how to proceed 
			concerning the house near the airport in Atlanta, and this is the 
			difficulty of blue-ray blockage which Ra speaks of in the very long 
			response to Carla’s compound question. Since our difficulties were 
			freely chosen by us, they were fair game for our negative companion 
			of fifth density to intensify.  
				In querying about how once again to aid our long-time pet and 
			companion, Gandalf, in another tumor removal operation, we found 
			that second-density creatures are also subject to causing cancer by 
			creating unresolved anger within themselves—the same process that 
			applies for third-density beings.
 And, finally, we found when one constructs the artifacts, clothing, 
			or structures with which one accomplishes service-to-others work, 
			there is a great investment of love and magical potential which may 
			result from such homemade and heartmade artifacts.
 
				Carla: As we prepare this personal material for publication, I am 
			sitting at the computer, and am very tempted to rub my eyes, because 
			the gardening I did earlier placed me in one of many environments to 
			which I’m allergic. I think these allergies are often a complaint of 
			Wanderers, and have to do at least partially with the mismatch of 
			vibrations between this earth world and the world of origin. Often 
			the more uncomplaining the Wanderer, the more the body shall act out 
			the difficulties we may have emotionally and mentally with the 
			vibrations here. Certainly this is true of myself. I do see the 
			psychosomatic nature of these allergies, and by long practice have 
			developed a fair resistance to them, which allows me to do some of 
			the too many things I enjoy, whether it be patting the cats or 
			pulling henbit out of the ivy. Or eating one of many foods, or 
			dusting, or getting the mold out of something I find at church on 
			one of my housekeeping forays. I doubt I could duck these no matter 
			what my attitude, but I hope they are as little a part of my 
			awareness as possible, and feel that the attitude really is key.
 
				What it shows me is just how carefully balanced we are, as we come 
			into incarnation here. I was given just these distortions, largely 
			in order that I would have plenty of forced time to become more 
			contemplative. It may seem that I am a thoroughgoing mystic, and 
			certainly during many years of forced stillness, I have always found 
			a depth of faith and a joy that illumined my life from within. It is 
			almost as though the adversity of illness or limitation is a 
			teacher, taking you out of the old ways of doing, and introducing 
			you to the contemplative life. I have wanted to be here every day of 
			my life, with the exception of some sorry time during early puberty 
			when I lost all faith and decided if I couldn’t be of help to 
			anyone, I might as well go on. Which my body obligingly did not six 
			months later, throwing itself into kidney failure brought on by an 
			allergic reaction. And the allergies are there because of the 
			mismatch in vibratory complexes. See how neatly this works. Such is 
			catalyst. it’s a wonderful world.
 
				As I got up from the sickbed at last during 1992, I vowed not to 
			lose this love of stillness. But I also love to do, busy bee that I 
			am. Of course I love to help L/L Research with correspondence and 
			writing and channeling, and my church and singing. These are like 
			the footers for the building I live in, real pillars of renewing 
			spirit within. But there’s more. I love the company of women and go 
			out of my way to have that gal’s night out in my schedule. I love to 
			cook, and do as much as I can cram in, and an extension of that is 
			that I take a morning each week to go through the parish where I 
			worship in community and just go around straightening, washing out, 
			putting away and making ready, especially in the church kitchen but 
			really all over the building. It is a joy being a servant in the 
			Lord’s house.! And I could continue till you were exhausted of any 
			possible interest. There are so many good things to do, so many 
			needs I hear and wish to respond to. Too many to accomplish, sadly. 
			The plight of the nineties: no time!
 
				What this is all in aid of is simply to demonstrate how deeply bred 
			in the bone my love of helpful activity is. Activity at whatever 
			level I can accomplish it is inevitable. It is part of who I am, and 
			some would say that is a born martyr. Perhaps this is somewhat true. 
			I only know we live and then we are gone, and while I am here, I 
			want to respond as deeply as I can. This means I am always pushing 
			the envelope, and always prey to psychic greeting. I have not ceased 
			being greeted. It is just that I deal with it, as does Jim, with 
			respect, in acknowledging it, and discipline, in allowing it to pass 
			quickly without judgment, knowing the negative essence behind it as 
			part of myself that I love. Acceptance and forgiveness simply move 
			the situation forward, and the crises pass. This is hard-won wisdom. 
			I encourage any groups who get into a situation where psychic 
			greeting is occurring to study the ways of forgiveness and 
			acceptance of this seemingly opposing energy. In claiming the higher 
			truth that all is one, we place ourselves in that finer, fuller 
			light, and the difficulties ease away as we simply persevere in 
			living without fear of these greetings. For those who might be 
			interested, I do have a chapter on psychic greeting and psychic 
			self-defense in my Channeling Handbook. The essence of that advice: 
			fear not and lean on prayer and keeping the self aligned in 
			open-hearted love.
 
				My recovery from the bad throat infection discussed above was 
			accomplished by a 6-week course of antibiotics taken with lots of 
			buttermilk, not a substance I enjoy. It did, however, work.
 
				Gandalf was a very special little person. Given to me by an old 
			friend in 1968, he was a kitten when Donald and I began our life 
			together. He adored Don, and would play retriever with him, 
			repeatedly fetching the peppermint candy wrappers Don would tie in a 
			little bow-tie and throw, and putting them in Don’s shoes, which 
			were always off if he was at home. His devotion was intense. If we 
			were sitting, he was almost always upon one of us. Don loved to walk 
			around with Gandalf hanging over his shoulder, and I can still see 
			them clearly, doing their daily tour of the rooms of our apartment. 
			Gandalf expressed such love! As he became quite old, he got both 
			arthritis and cancer, but until the moment he died, he was fiercely 
			determined to be here and as close to us as possible. I feel that he 
			has now reincarnated in our beautiful cat, “Mo,” who expresses much 
			the same energy. I am thankful we have had more time with this soul, 
			who is certainly harvestable to third density.
 
 
 Session 98, September 24, 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 has somewhat increased. The 
			vital energy distortions are somewhat improved.
 
 Questioner: We eliminated our meditation prior to the session. Would 
			Ra comment on that?
 Ra: I am Ra. The purpose of preparation for a working is the 
			purification of each entity involved with the working. The removal 
			of a portion of this preparation has a value determined by the 
			purity of each which takes part in the working has achieved without 
			that particular aid.
 
 Questioner: I had just taken a wild guess that possibly it was 
			during that meditation prior to the working that was used by our 
			fifth-density, negative friend to create the allergic reactions and 
			other reactions in the instrument. Was I correct in that assumption, 
			or was I incorrect?
 Ra: I am Ra. This entity greets the instrument as close to the 
			working in your space\ time continuum as is practicable. The 
			elimination of that preparation caused the fifth-density entity to 
			greet this instrument at this juncture of decision not to meditate. 
			The greeting does not take what you would call a noticeable amount 
			of your time.
 
 Questioner: Was the greeting as effective as it would have been if 
			meditation had been done?
 Ra: I am Ra. Yes.
 
 Questioner: I have a question from the instrument. It states: “Could 
			Ra tell us what factors are allowing our fifth-density, negative 
			companion to be able to continue greeting the instrument in the 
			throat area as well as with other unusual sensations such as 
			dizziness, the smelling of orange blossoms, the feeling of stepping 
			on imaginary creatures, and what can be done to lessen these 
			greetings? Also, why do the greetings occur on walks?”
 Ra: I am Ra. There are various portions of the query. We shall 
			attempt answer to each. We tread close to the Law of Confusion, 
			saved only by the awareness that given lack of information this 
			instrument would, nonetheless, continue to offer its service.
 The working of your fifth-density companion which still affects the 
			instrument was, as we have stated, a potent working. The totality of 
			those biases which offer to the instrument opportunities for 
			increased vital and physical strength, shall we say, were touched by 
			the working. The blue-ray difficulties were not entirely at an end 
			after the first asking. Again, this group experienced blockage rare 
			for the group; that is, the blue-ray blockage of unclear 
			communication. By this means the efficacy of the working was 
			reinforced.
 The potential of this working is significant. The physical 
			exercising, the sacred music, the varieties of experience, and 
			indeed simple social intercourse are jeopardized by a working which 
			attempts to close the throat and the mouth. It is to be noted that 
			there is also the potential for the loss of this contact.
 We suggest that the instrument’s allergies create a continuous means 
			whereby the distortion created by the magical working may be 
			continued. As we have stated, it shall be necessary, in order to 
			remove the working, to completely remove the distortion within the 
			throat area caused by this working. The continuous aggravation of 
			allergic reactions makes this challenging.
 The orange blossom is the odor which you may associate with the 
			social memory complex of fifth-density positive which is known to 
			you as sound vibration, Latwii. This entity was with the instrument 
			as requested by the instrument. The odor was perceived due to the 
			quite sensitive nature of the instrument due, again, to its, shall 
			we say, acme in the eighteen-day cycle.
 The sensation of stepping upon the small animal and killing it was a 
			greeting from your fifth-density, negative companion also made 
			possible by the above circumstance.
 As to the removal of the effects of the magical working, we may make 
			two suggestions, one immediate, and one general. Firstly, within the 
			body of knowledge which those healers known among your peoples as 
			medical doctors have is the use of harsh chemical substances which 
			you call medicine. These substances almost invariably cause far more 
			changes than are intended in the mind/body/spirit complex. However, 
			in this instance the steroids or, alternately, the antibiotic family 
			might be useful in the complete removal of the difficulty within 
			which the working is still able to thrive. Of course, the allergies 
			would persist after this course of medicine were ended, but the 
			effects of the working would no longer come into play.
 The one you call Jerome might well be of aid in this somewhat 
			unorthodox medical situation. As allergies are quite misunderstood 
			by your orthodox healers, it would be inappropriate to subject the 
			instrument to the services of your medical doctors which find the 
			amelioration of allergic effects to be connected with the intake of 
			these same toxins in milder form. This, shall we say, treats, the 
			symptom. However, the changes offered to the body complex are quite 
			inadvisable. The allergy may be seen to be the rejection upon a deep 
			level of the mind complex of the environment of the mind/body/spirit 
			complex. Thus the allergy may be seen in its pure form as the 
			mental/emotional distortion of the deeper self.
 The more general recommendation lies with one which does not wish to 
			be identified. There is a code name prayer wheel. We suggest ten 
			treatments from this healer and further suggest a clear reading and 
			subsequent following upon the part of the instrument of the 
			priorities of allergy, especially to your foodstuffs.
 Lastly, the effects of the working become apparent upon the walking 
			when the body complex has begun to exert itself to the point of 
			increased respiration. Also a contributing factor is the number of 
			your second-density substances to which this instrument is allergic.
 
 Questioner: Thank you. The second question is: “Our oldest cat, 
			Gandalf, has a growth near his spine. Is there anything that makes 
			the surgical removal of this growth less appropriate than the 
			surgical removal of the growth that we had performed a year ago last 
			April, and would the most appropriate action on our part to aid his 
			recovery be the visualization of light surrounding him during the 
			surgery and the repeating of ritual phrases periodically while he is 
			at the veterinarians’?”
 Ra: I am Ra. No. There is no greater cause for caution than 
			previously and, yes, the phrases of which you speak shall aid the 
			entity. Although this entity is, in body complex, old and, 
			therefore, liable to danger from what you call your anesthetic, its 
			mental, emotional, and spiritual distortions are such that it is 
			strongly motivated to recover that it might once again rejoin the 
			loved one. Keep in mind that this entity is harvestable third 
			density.
 
 Questioner: Would you explain why you said “Keep in mind that this 
			entity is harvestable third density” and tell me if you have any 
			other specific recommendations with respect to the proposed 
			operation on the growth?
 Ra: I am Ra. We stated this in order to elucidate our use of the 
			term “spirit complex” as applied to what might be considered a 
			second-density entity. The implications are that this entity shall 
			have far more cause to abide and heal that it may seek the presence 
			of the loved ones.
 
 Questioner: Is there any additional recommendation that Ra could 
			make with respect to the proposed operation?
 Ra: I am Ra. No.
 
 Questioner: I was wondering if I was correct in my assumption for 
			the reason for the growth was a state of anger in the cat, Gandalf, 
			because of the addition of the newer cats in his environment? Was I 
			correct?
 Ra: I am Ra. The original cause of what you call cancer was the 
			distortion caused by this event. The proximate cause of this growth 
			is the nature of the distortion of the body cells which you call 
			cancer.
 
 Questioner: Are there any other cancerous growths at this time in 
			Gandalf?
 Ra: I am Ra. Yes.
 
 Questioner: Can we alleviate those and, if so, how and where are 
			they?
 Ra: I am Ra. None can be alleviated at this space/time nexus. One is 
			located within the juncture of the right hip. Another which is very 
			small is near the organ you call the liver. There are also small 
			cell distortions under the, we may call it, arm, to distinguish the 
			upper appendages, on both sides.
 
 Questioner: Is there anything that we can do to alleviate these 
			problems that are other than surgical to help Gandalf?
 Ra: I am Ra. Continue in praise and thanksgiving, asking for the 
			removal of these distortions. There are two possible outcomes. 
			Firstly, the entity shall dwell with you in contentment until its 
			physical vehicle holds it no more due to distortions caused by the 
			cancerous cells. Secondly, the life path may become that which 
			allows the healing. We do not infringe upon free will by examining 
			this life path although we may note the preponderance of life paths 
			which use some distortion such as this to leave the physical body 
			which in this case is the orange-ray body.
 
 Questioner: Does the cat, Fairchild, have any of these same type of 
			problems?
 Ra: I am Ra. Not at this space/time nexus.
 
 Questioner: Was it necessary for the cat Gandalf to be a 
			mind/body/spirit complex and harvestable third density to have the 
			anger result in cancer?
 Ra: I am Ra. No.
 
 Questioner: Then any mind/body complex can develop cancer. Is this 
			correct?
 Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
 At this time we would break our routine by making an observation. We 
			observe the following coincidence. Firstly, the congestion of this 
			instrument’s throat due to the flow of mucous caused by energized 
			allergic reaction has, at this point, become such that we may safely 
			predict the probability/possibility vortex approaching certainty 
			that within one-half of an hour we shall need to depart from this 
			working. Secondly, as we noted the above the sound vibration made by 
			one of your sound vibration recording devices was audible to us. If 
			this group desires, it may choose to have sessions which are brought 
			to an ending soon after this sound vibration occurs. This decision 
			would ensure the minimal distortions within the instrument towards 
			the discomfort/comfort within the throat until the effects of the 
			magical working of your fifth-density companion have been removed.
 
 Questioner: That is perfectly fine with us. That noise occurs at the 
			forty-five minute time period since the tapes are forty-five minutes 
			on a side. I would just ask as the final question, then, if the new 
			table that Jim has built for the appurtenances is satisfactory to 
			hold them since it will give us more room to walk around the bed, 
			and is it better to leave it in its natural condition, or is it 
			better to coat it with linseed oil, varnish, or paint?
 Ra: I am Ra. We view this appurtenance. It sings with joy. The pine 
			vibrates in praise. Much investment of this working in wood has been 
			done. It is acceptable. We may suggest it be left either as it is or 
			rubbed with the oil which also is easily magnetized and holds the 
			proffered vibration to a profound extent.
 
 Questioner: I was wondering if this would be an appropriate time to 
			end since the tape recorder clicked some time ago?
 Ra: I am Ra. This is a matter for your discrimination. The 
			instrument remains open to our use although, as we have noted, the 
			physical distortions begin to mount.
 
 Questioner: Then we had better close to protect the instrument’s 
			physical energy, and I will ask if there is anything that we can do 
			to improve the contact or to make the instrument more comfortable?
 Ra: I am Ra. All is well. We find your concerns appropriate.
 We leave you 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. Adonai.
 
 
				
				Go Back 
			   
			RA, Fragment 49
			 
				
				Jim: Most people would probably not have described the feeling of 
			not quite being whole and in harmony which our group experienced 
			during the fall of 1982 as true disharmony. Yet as one moves further 
			along the path of seeking light and begins to stand closer to it, as 
			we were privileged to do in the Ra contact, even the smallest of 
			lapses of harmony, when left unresolved, can become targets of 
			opportunity for those such as our friend of negative polarity to 
			intensify. These psychic greetings can become great opportunities to 
			heal those lapses of harmony and to move even further and faster 
			upon the evolutionary journey because what such a negative entity is 
			actually doing when it intensifies one’s disharmonious choices is 
			pointing out to you weak points which you might have missed in your 
			own conscious seeking. But one must take quick and thorough action 
			in order to unravel these distortions in one’s beingness or further 
			confusion and difficulty may ensue, again due to, first, your 
			original free will choice, second, the intensification of that 
			choice by the negative entity, and third, by lack of attention on 
			your part in finally resolving the distortion and balancing it. 
			Fortunately, most people do not have to deal with the magical 
			abilities of a fifth-density entity but with the lesser abilities of 
			the fourth-density minions who are usually quite effective on their 
			own.  
				Thus as Carla was finally getting rid of the effects of the 
			intensification of her blue-ray blockage concerning renting and then 
			cleaning the house next to the airport in Atlanta, I began to notice 
			an increase in my pre-incarnatively chosen distortion of 
			anger/frustration. Notice the fundamental principle in Ra’s first 
			sentence in response to my question. All of our distortions and thus 
			all of our learning are the result of the limitation of the 
			viewpoint. We limit our points of view consciously or unconsciously, 
			pre-incarnatively or during the incarnation, in order to gain a 
			certain bias that may then draw unto it the opposite bias and offer 
			us the opportunity for balance. By being able to see each bias as an 
			opportunity for the Creator to know Itself and for us to know 
			ourselves as the Creator, we more and more become able to accept 
			ourselves. We become able to find love and acceptance not only in 
			ourselves but in others who share our characteristics, and our 
			viewpoint is widened by our efforts to learn and to serve. Such 
			growth is not possible without biases or distortions, and these 
			biases and distortions are not possible without the choice to limit 
			the viewpoint in one way or another. So we determine what lessons 
			and services we shall attempt during any incarnation by the way in 
			which we limit our viewpoint.
 
				Another interesting point to note here is that whatever one’s basic 
			nature is, whether it be love, wisdom, power, or some blend of these 
			three, one does well to express that nature in a regularized 
			fashion. So does one become a channel for it, not by holding on to 
			it, but by giving it away.
 
				Again, we see another purpose of anger, or opportunity that it might 
			present to one expressing it. Being the polar opposite of love, it 
			may attract that love and compassion to the person feeling it. 
			Remorse and sorrow often attract love and compassion to a positive 
			seeker who has experienced a great deal of anger. Anger may also be 
			seen as the negative expression of power; that is, destruction and 
			separation, with the positive side being construction and 
			unification. So it is not necessary to repress or overcome qualities 
			in our being which seem negative and hurtful but, rather, to see 
			them as potentials for achieving balance. When these negative 
			qualities are followed to their source, they can enable the seeker 
			to take advantage of the opportunities for knowing the self, the 
			Creator, and the creation as portions of a complete unity. Ra’s last 
			sentence underscores this point.
 
				Carla: I have thought that this particular fragment is perhaps the 
			best example in this present volume of why Ra can be so helpful. We 
			three humans were doing our level best to stay totally harmonized in 
			movement and rhythm, but we often erred, as do all of us, no matter 
			what, if not today then tomorrow. This is the human estate. Working 
			on this catalyst between us with an intensity born of wishing to 
			remain clear enough to contact Ra, we developed questions for Ra, 
			trying to get more of a bead on what our distortions were, and how 
			to approach seating these incoming catalysts. But no question, 
			however cleverly phrased, could expect to garner a piece of advice 
			like: “as in all distortions, the source is the limit of the 
			viewpoint.” In terms of the old saw about a choice between giving a 
			man a fish and giving him a pole and teaching him fishing, Ra always 
			went for the fishing pole, plus bait. And all without infringement 
			on free will: an impressive task, and appreciated by us. We pored 
			over these little comments a lot. They really did help us focus.
 
				I’ve already talked about the buttermilk/penicillin cure. The 
			principle Ra followed in OK’ing my wearing of a little cross in 
			sessions seems very telling for a lot of questions we have about 
			should we do something or not. They said it wasn’t the greatest in 
			terms of what complications it would cause, but it was OK because it 
			was a symbol which strengthened me in a real way. This concept of 
			balance and the strength of being as flowing into a pattern which is 
			read as metaphysical rather than physical is a real help to people 
			who want to be less allergic or depressed or whatever: do what feels 
			right, letting the mystical meaning have as much importance as the 
			physical. Find the balance.
 
				Ra’s advice to Jim struck home both to Jim and to Don and me. After 
			we read this, we decided to encourage Jim to take the afternoon for 
			solitude. He really enjoyed, and still enjoys, this routine, going 
			out into the gardens for whatever needs doing after lunch and 
			finishing up at eventide with a bath. I am often out there with him, 
			but I do leave him in solitude unless I have a gardening question. 
			To watch Jim work is to understand the power and purpose of ritual 
			and magic.
 
				My dear Mick (I call him that to distinguish him from my brother and 
			also from my first husband, both named Jim) still has an amazingly 
			bright and fiery temper. I stand in awe, quite literally, and watch 
			it sweep through him like a tornado. He has, through the years, 
			found ways to behave less angrily, but that core imbalance for him 
			runs very deep, rather like my wanting to do too much. Some things 
			about all of us are far from smart, but when you try to eradicate 
			them, they just snicker! Nope—we’re part of the package, they seem 
			to say. I have worked my way through the substantial catalyst this 
			has been for me, and give Mick thanks for such excellent catalyst. I 
			have never been hurt physically, mind you. This is a solo act. I now 
			simply observe and accept. I know it only seems that way. I affirm 
			perfection. That is what I have learned to do so far, both to my own 
			humanity and other people’s. Meanwhile, he has had to learn to tend 
			me rather like a shepherd, walking along and picking up the things I 
			drip behind me as I go absent-mindedly on. No one gets away free!
 
				I can only say that meditation, and a daily offering each day as a 
			beginning, help for me. They are the basis of my day, and I think 
			Jim would also say that. So I encourage any who might have had 
			trouble doing that to try again. This time, adapt the practice to 
			your life. It is a routine that has served us well. Perhaps that is 
			too much for you, but you see how to build a time for you and the 
			Creator to meet. You can’t just remake your life around a newly 
			discovered devotional or mystic aspect of yourself; you have to 
			practice a rule of life that gives you time to do your necessaries. 
			I think that one quick drink is a powerful thing. So please try 
			again, if you have given up. For those who want to read about 
			meditation, I recommend Joel Goldsmith’s little book, The Art Of 
			Meditation.
 
 
 Session 99, November 18, 1982
 
 Questioner: What are the foodstuffs that are creating this allergic 
			reaction?
 Ra: I am Ra. That which you call the buttermilk, though 
			appropriately used in the healing work undertaken for the throat and 
			chest areas, is the substance to which the entity has allergy.
 
 Questioner: The instrument asked if she could keep the small gold 
			cross on while she is in one of these sessions. Will that cause any 
			distortion in these workings?
 Ra: I am Ra. We scan the mental distortions of the instrument. 
			Although the presence of the metallic substance is, in general, not 
			recommended, in this instance, as we find those distortions 
			weakening the mental/emotional complex of the instrument due to its 
			empathic distortions, the figure is specifically recommended for use 
			by this instrument. We would request that should any strengthening 
			be done to the chain, as we find intended by this instrument, the 
			strengthening links which symbolize eternity to this instrument be 
			as high in purity or higher than the remainder of the device.
 In this nexus that which this device represents to this instrument 
			is a much-needed strengthener of the mental/emotional patterns which 
			have been much disrupted from the usual configuration of 
			distortions.
 
 Questioner: Is there anything further that needs to be done by or 
			for the instrument to remove the magical working, or any of its 
			after-effects, in her throat area by our fifth-density, negative 
			companion?
 Ra: I am Ra. No.
 
 Questioner: Finally, I have a question from Jim stating: “For the 
			last two weeks I have often found myself on the edge of anger and 
			frustration, have had a nearly constant dull pain in the area of my 
			indigo-ray center, and have felt quite drained of energy. Would Ra 
			comment on the source of these experiences and any thoughts or 
			actions that might alleviate them?”
 Ra: I am Ra. As in all distortions, the source is the limit of the 
			viewpoint. We may, without serious infringement, suggest three 
			courses of behavior which shall operate upon the distortion 
			expressed.
 Firstly, it would be well for the scribe to engage, if not daily 
			then as nearly so as possible, in a solitary strenuous activity 
			which brings this entity to the true physical weariness. Further, 
			although any activity may suffice, an activity chosen for its 
			intended service to the harmony of the group would be quite 
			efficacious.
 The second activity is some of your space/time and time/space taken 
			by the entity, directly or as nearly so as possible to the strenuous 
			activity, for solitary contemplation.
 Thirdly, the enthusiastic pursuit of the balancing and silent 
			meditations cannot be deleted from the list of helpful activities 
			for this entity.
 We may note that the great forte of the scribe is summed in the 
			inadequate sound vibration complex, power. The flow of power, just 
			as the flow of love or wisdom, is enabled not by the chary3 
			conserver of its use but by the constant user. The physical 
			manifestation of power being either constructive or destructive 
			strenuous activity, the power-filled entity must needs exercise that 
			manifestation. This entity experiences a distortion in the direction 
			of an excess of stored energy. It is well to know the self and to 
			guard and use those attributes which the self has provided for its 
			learning and its service.

				Jim: In the material from Session 100 note how the limit of the 
			viewpoint changes the nature of the answer. Carla’s tendency towards 
			martyrdom, seen from the time/space or metaphysical point of view, 
			is quite helpful in her own evolutionary process. But that same 
			tendency, seen from the space/time or physical point of view, is 
			seen as a tendency which may present difficulties for the services 
			which one wishes to offer during the incarnation.  
				Carla: I had a very hard time with the “swirling waters” from the 
			start. Immersed in that high tub, just big enough to fold myself 
			into, I had to tolerate levels up around my mouth in order for the 
			water to beat on my upper back and neck, which were where the worst 
			of the joints of my spine were. All the claustrophobia I had ever 
			felt was squared by this exercise. It was as much an act of will and 
			faith as a physical practice. I did find it very comforting. At the 
			time, I was so small, wearing pre-teen sizes and weighing around 
			80-85, that I had to wear a weight to hold myself down on the floor 
			of the specially made tub; otherwise I floated around. I would have 
			no such trouble now, as change of life has rendered me a larger and 
			more mature looking being. Jim says I used to be a little angel, and 
			now I am a cherub. So I could probably endure this better now. But I 
			find that Jim’s massages are the best thing. Water is wonderful, but 
			the healing power of touch cannot be overrated.
 
 
				Shortly after we acquired this therapy tub, I was struck with a 
			sudden and dramatic frenzy of fear. I bolted out of the tub and 
			found myself cowering on the back of one of the sofas, growling at 
			Jim and Don. At the time I thought it was a psychic greeting, but 
			later Ra confirmed that Don and I had just made a deleterious and 
			complete unity/exchange of our mental and emotional natures, and I 
			was experiencing for the first time the degree of alienation and 
			real fear with which he saw this quarrelsome world. He really, 
			really had trouble living on this earth, although one would never 
			have known it from gazing at him. Don was always infinitely cool. 
			But beneath that calm surface was a really difficult and challenging 
			amount of imbalance. How he managed to live here as long as he did 
			is perhaps beyond me to know. 
 
 Session 100, November 29, 1982
 
 Questioner: The instrument asks if there is some problem with the 
			swirling waters since she feels very dizzy after each application. 
			Could Ra comment on that, please?
 Ra: I am Ra. Yes.
 
 Questioner: Would Ra please comment?
 Ra: I am Ra. As has been previously noted, the instrument has the 
			propensity for attempting to exceed its limits. If one considers the 
			metaphysical or time/space aspect of an incarnation, this is a 
			fortunate and efficient use of catalyst as the will is constantly 
			being strengthened and, further, if the limitations are exceeded in 
			the service of others the polarization is also most efficient.
 However, we perceive the query to speak to the space/time portion of 
			incarnational experience and in that framework would again ask the 
			instrument to consider the value of martyrdom. The instrument may 
			examine its range of reactions to this swirling waters. It will 
			discover a correlation between it and other activity. When the 
			so-called aerobic exercise is pursued no less than three of your 
			hours, and preferably five of your hours, should pass betwixt it and 
			the swirling waters. When the walking has been accomplished a period 
			of no less than, we believe, forty of your minutes must needs 
			transpire before the swirling waters and preferably twice that 
			amount of your space/time.
 It is true that some greeting has encouraged the dizziness felt by 
			the instrument. However, its source is largely the determination of 
			the instrument to remain immersed in swirling waters past the period 
			of space/time it may abide therein without exceeding its physical 
			limits.

			RA, Fragment 51
			 
				
				Jim: In Session 101 I got an excellent opportunity to work on my 
			anger/frustration distortion again. This time, however, it was not 
			pointed only at myself. This “negative wisdom” was pointed at Don 
			over a period of two days when it was time to have Books Two and 
			Three reprinted. Don wanted to put all of the books—one, two and 
			three—into one book instead. It didn’t matter that that was 
			impossible due to lack of money to do it the way Don wanted to do 
			it—typeset and hardback. What mattered was that I allowed a 
			disharmony to result that went unresolved for two days. This became 
			an excellent opportunity for our friend of negative fifth density to 
			magnify the difficulty, and the means by which this was done proved 
			to be quite interesting, especially to me, when I developed a rare 
			kidney disease. It was called lipoid nephritis or minimal change 
			syndrome, and soon I had gained about thirty pounds of water weight 
			as a result of it. The last sentence in the first paragraph of Ra’s 
			response seems to us to be the key concept in this particular 
			incident. The last two sentences in that response are interesting in 
			their general application to all seekers.  
				You will note toward the middle of this session that another house 
			in Atlanta is mentioned as a possible location for our group. We 
			were still hoping to get closer to Don’s work so that there would be 
			less strain on him in getting to his job. Later, we found a third 
			house which will be mentioned in Session 105, and it was this house 
			that we eventually moved to in November of 1983.
 
				The next to the last question concerns another instrument who had 
			reported difficulties with her body swelling much as mine had done. 
			Don asked if there were any way that we could give her information 
			about her condition since we had just talked to her on the phone to 
			compare the swelling in the ranks of our two groups. The first 
			paragraph of Ra’s response lays out the general principle which 
			affects all individuals and groups doing work of a more intensive 
			service-to-others nature. The second paragraph of Ra’s response 
			refers to the situation in which that particular instrument worked, 
			but the general application of those concepts is obvious.
 The combination of healing approaches found my condition in 
			remission within six months.
 
				Carla: I wish you could have seen the look on Dr. Stewart Graves’ 
			face when that worthy reviewed Ra’s diagnosis. He carefully looked 
			up the known causes of Jim’s variety of kidney disease, and found 
			that insect bites and the allergic reaction to them were a rarely 
			found but duly noted cause of the condition. In the absence of any 
			other possible cause, it was recorded an allergic reaction.
 
				Oddly, when I experienced kidney failure as a teenager, allergic 
			reaction was also the doctor’s best guess as to cause.
 
				By this time, it may seem to you that psychic greetings were really 
			occupying our time. You would be right. As Jim and Ra both say, it 
			is easier to be noticed when you’re standing in a spotlight. 
			Metaphysically, the contact with those of Ra was a blinding 
			cynosure. Although we continued to be obscure and completely 
			anonymous in any earthly sense, we had become very noticeable to 
			“the loyal opposition.”
 
				To my mind, the fatal weakness of our group was its humanity, in 
			dealing with three-ness. Although in fact our consciously known 
			energies were in perfect harmony and agreement, there were human 
			distortions from below the level of conscious control, that allowed 
			a wedge to be driven in between Don and me, so he lost faith in 
			“us.” When he began experiencing this profound depression which 
			seemed to overtake him at a crawling, yet inexorable pace, his utter 
			disdain for any opinion but his own did not stand him in good stead. 
			This was the beginning of a pattern that in the end turned fatal and 
			ended my beloved companion’s life, and dear Ra’s contact with our 
			group.
 
				Does this constitute a suggestion that a group should not work 
			unless the energies are two-by-two, and only couples can join in? 
			Not specifically, I do not think, but it is certainly something to 
			ponder. Could we have done better? After years of the Joyceian 
			“agenbite of inwit,” I still do not think we could have. Our 
			behavior was at all times a true manifestation of ourselves. In no 
			wise did either Jim or myself ever even think to change the 
			relationship with each other, or with Donald. And Don had ever kept 
			his own counsel, and there was no hope that he would come to me or 
			Jim and tell us what worries he had in his mind and heart.
 
				Further, when any group works and lives together, regardless of 
			whether the number is paired or singles are mixed in, there will 
			always be human error in the manifested life of each, and to the 
			extent that people’s distortions and fears have a dynamic, there 
			will be misunderstandings and confusion, pulling back and apart from 
			total trust. So it behooves all those working with the light, hoping 
			to be a positive influence on the planetary consciousness to 
			communicate at once those fears and doubts that might pile up 
			inside. If we had ever been able to talk with total openness, Don 
			and I, I think I could have set his mind at ease. But Don would not 
			have been himself if he had done so. Nor would I have been myself if 
			I had somehow known Don was doubting my fidelity. Being within my 
			self, I cannot imagine, either then or now, anyone thinking that I 
			would be disloyal or untrue to any agreement. I have never done that 
			in this incarnation.
 
				Ultimately, one looks at such a pickle as we got into, and knows its 
			utter perfection and inevitability. I have and will always think of 
			Don, my B.C., every hour of every day, and his suffering is ever 
			before me. But I no longer feel the keen sorrow that laid me low for 
			the first few years after his death. All is well, nothing is lost. 
			And I can feel the sun on my face this day, without the urge I used 
			to have to stay in the shade and mourn my losses. Time has restored 
			my broken spirit, and let my being flow sweetly and rhythmically 
			again. And Donald is right here, within. Interestingly enough, we 
			often get mail saying that Don has helped them, either with 
			something from his work, or in an actual visitation. Don’s great 
			generosity of spirit, freed from the constrictive hold he had on it 
			when alive, has overflowed into timelessness, and I think his 
			service will continue as long as there are those who need his 
			special brand of wisdom and depth of soul.
 
				Ra’s statement that the source of catalyst is the self, especially 
			the higher self, is profound, I think. We always relate to the pain 
			of new catalyst by relating to the other person as bringer of 
			catalyst. In doing so we forget that the other is ourselves. Not 
			LIKE ourselves, but our very hearts and souls. In this way of 
			seeing, we can look at the fullness of tragedy in Don’s and my 
			illness and his death as the Creator serving the creator with 
			exactly the catalyst needed for the utmost polarization in 
			consciousness and the greatest growth of spirit. In opening his 
			heart, Don fell ill and died, in the tradition of lost love and 
			desperate romance that has moved us since the beginning of history. 
			And that death was an utter giving away of self. It was as though 
			Don finished everything else he wished to do in life, and then took 
			on the personal reason he had come to earth’s physical plane: the 
			opening of his heart. He was so very wise—and with the sacrifice of 
			self in the most brutal, literal sense, that wisdom was balanced 
			fully with compassion and open-hearted love.
 
				As for me, I cannot fault the path that stubbornly sent my soul to 
			batter against the walls of self until I at last began struggling to 
			express wisdom as well as love in my life. Such were our gifts to 
			each other; such are the currents between us all.
 
				Since Ra gave us the cleansing ritual referred to in this session, 
			I’ve seen it used several times by those who have come to L/L 
			Research, and in every case it seems to have been quite useful. I 
			think that doing some sort of cleansing of a new place is a good 
			metaphysical habit, for people do leave behind the thought forms’ 
			traces imprinted on the aura of the places they have been, 
			especially those they’ve stayed in for considerable time. And even 
			when the vibrations are basically good, they might not harmonize 
			completely with your own. So it is good to magnetize the place for 
			your own uses, even if all you do is burn sage, or say a prayer of 
			dedication. The world of spirit has much to do with us, though we 
			cannot in most ways know or see such influence. Offering that part 
			of things respect is wise.
 
 
 Session 101, December 21, 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. All energy levels of the instrument are somewhat 
			diminished due to the distortions of physical pain and recent 
			mental/emotional catalyst. However, the energy levels appear to be 
			very liable to be improved in what you call your immediate future.
 
 Questioner: Thank you. What has caused the swelling in Jim’s body, 
			and what can be done to heal it?
 Ra: I am Ra. For the answer to this query we must begin with the 
			consideration of the serpent, signifying wisdom. This symbol has the 
			value of the ease of viewing the two faces of the one who is wise. 
			Positive wisdom adorns the brow indicating indigo-ray work. Negative 
			wisdom, by which we intend to signify expressions which effectually 
			separate the self from the other-self, may be symbolized by poison 
			of the fangs. To use that which a mind/body/spirit complex has 
			gained of wisdom for the uses of separation is to invite the fatal 
			bite of that wisdom’s darker side.
 The entity has a mental/emotional tendency, which has been lessening 
			in distortion for some of your space/time, towards negative wisdom. 
			The entity’s being already aware of this causes us not to dwell upon 
			this point but merely to specifically draw the boundaries of the 
			metaphysical background for the energizing of a series of bites from 
			one of your second-density species. In this case the bite was no 
			more than that of one of the arachnids, sometimes called the wood 
			spider. However, it is possible that were enough work done to test 
			the origin of the pathology of the entity, it is within 
			possibility/probability limits that the testing would show the bite 
			of the cottonmouth rather than the bite of the common wood spider.
 The energizing took its place within the lymphatic system of the 
			entity’s yellow-ray, physical body. Therefore, the working 
			continues. There is increasing strain upon the spleen, the 
			supra-renal glands, the renal complex, and some 
			possibility/probability of difficulty with the liver. Further, the 
			lymphatic difficulties have begun to strain the entity’s bronchial 
			system. This is some general information upon what is to be noted as 
			a somewhat efficient working.
 The removal of these distortions has several portions. Firstly, it 
			is well to seek the good offices of the one known as Stuart so that 
			harsh chemical means may be taken to reawaken the histaminic 
			reflexes of the entity and to aid in the removal of edema.
 Secondly, we suggest that which has already begun; that is, the 
			request of the one known now to this group as Bob that this entity 
			may focus its aid upon the metaphysical connections with the 
			yellow-ray body.
 Thirdly, the entity must take note of its physical vehicle’s need 
			for potassium. The ingesting of the fruit of the banana palm is 
			recommended.
 Fourthly, the link between the swelling of contumely4 and the 
			apparent present situation is helpful. As always the support of the 
			harmonious group is an aid, as is meditation. It is to be noted that 
			this entity requires some discipline in the meditation which the 
			others of the group do not find necessary in the same manner. 
			Therefore, the entity may continue with its forms of meditation 
			knowing that each in the group supports it entirely although the 
			instinct to share in the discipline is not always present. Each 
			entity has its ways of viewing and learning from the illusion, and 
			each processes catalyst using unique circuitry. Thus all need not be 
			the same to be equal in will and faith.
 
 Questioner: Thank you. I will make a statement about the way I see 
			the action in this instance and would request Ra’s comment on it. I 
			see the present situation as the Creator knowing Itself by using the 
			concept of polarization. We seem to accentuate or to produce 
			catalyst to increase the desired polarization whether the desired 
			mechanism be random, through what we call the higher self, or 
			through utilizing the services of an oppositely polarized entity 
			acting upon us. All of these seem to produce the same effect which 
			is more intense polarization in the desired direction once that 
			direction has been definitely chosen. I see the catalyst of the 
			second-density insect bite being a function of either or any of the 
			sources of which I have spoken, from random to the higher self or 
			polarized services of negative entities who monitor our activities, 
			all of which have roughly the same ultimate effect. Would Ra comment 
			on my observation?
 Ra: I am Ra. We find your observations unexceptional and, in the 
			large, correct.
 
 Questioner: In this particular case, which avenue was the one that 
			produced the catalyst of the bite?
 Ra: I am Ra. The nature of catalyst is such that there is only one 
			source, for the catalyst and experience are further attempts at 
			specificity in dealing with
 contumely: insulting rudeness in speech or manner; scornful 
			insolence; an insult, or an insulting act [< OF contumelie < L 
			contumelia reproach]
 the architecture of the unconscious mind of the self. Therefore, in 
			an incarnational experience the self as Creator, especially the 
			higher self, is the base from which catalyst stands to offer its 
			service to the mind, body, or spirit.
 In the sense which we feel you intend, the source was the 
			fifth-density, negative friend which had noted the gradual falling 
			away of the inharmonious patterns of the distortion called 
			anger/frustration in the entity. The insect was easily led to an 
			attack, and the physical vehicle, which had long-standing allergies 
			and sensitivities, was also easily led into the mechanisms of the 
			failure of the lymphatic function and the greatly diminished ability 
			of the immune system to remove from the yellow-ray body that which 
			distorted it.
 
 Questioner: Something occurred to me. I am going to make a guess 
			that my illness over the past week was a function of an action by my 
			higher self to eliminate the possibility of a residence in the 
			proximity of a large number of bees that I observed. Would Ra 
			comment on my statement?
 Ra: I am Ra. We can comment, not upon the questioner’s physical 
			distortions but upon the indubitable truth of second-density hive 
			creatures; that is, that a hive mentality as a whole can be 
			influenced by one strong metaphysical impulse. Both the instrument 
			and the scribe have the capacity for great distortions toward 
			nonviability, given such an attack by a great number of the stinging 
			insects.
 
 Questioner: Are the thought-form parameters and the general 
			parameters of the 893 Oakdale Road address in Atlanta such that no 
			cleansing would be necessary, if Ra has this information?
 Ra: I am Ra. No.
 
 Questioner: Would cleansing of the nature suggested for the other 
			house just south of the airport in Atlanta be advisable for the 893 
			Oakdale Road address?
 Ra: I am Ra. We note that any residence, whether previously benign, 
			as is the one of which you speak, or previously of malignant 
			character, needs the basic cleansing of the salt, water, and broom. 
			The benign nature of the aforementioned domicile is such that the 
			cleansing could be done in two portions; that is, no egress or 
			entrance through any but one opening for one cleansing. Then egress 
			and entrance from all other places while the remaining portal is 
			properly sealed. The placing of salt may be done at the place which 
			is not being sealed during the first of the cleansings, and the salt 
			may be requested to act as seal and yet allow the passage of gentle 
			spirits such as yourselves. We suggest that you speak to this 
			substance and name each entity for which permission is needed in 
			order to pass. Let no person pass without permission being asked of 
			the salt. This is the case in the residence of which you speak.
 
 Questioner: Thank you. Could Ra give information on any way that we 
			could give information to (name) as to how to alleviate her present 
			condition of swelling?
 Ra: I am Ra. We may only suggest that the honor of propinquity to 
			light carries with it the Law of Responsibility. The duty to refrain 
			from contumely and discord in all things, which, when unresolved 
			within, makes way for workings, lies before the instrument of which 
			you speak. This entity may, if it is desired by the scribe, share 
			our comments upon the working of the latter entity.
 The entity which is given constant and unremitting approval by those 
			surrounding it suffers from the loss of the mirroring effect of 
			those which reflect truthfully rather than unquestioningly. This is 
			not a suggestion to reinstate judgment but merely a suggestion for 
			all those supporting instruments; that is, support, be harmonious, 
			share in love, joy, and thanksgiving, but find love within truth, 
			for each instrument benefits from this support more than from the 
			total admiration which overcomes discrimination.
 
 Questioner: Thank you. That was the forty-five minute signal, so 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 find that this instrument has used all the 
			transferred energy and has been speaking using its vital energy 
			reserve. We do suggest using the transferred sexual energy to the 
			total exclusion of vital reserves if possible.
 The alignments are as they must be for all to continue well. We are 
			grateful for the conscientiousness of the support group.
 I am Ra. I leave this group glorying in the love and in the light of 
			the one infinite Creator. Go forth rejoicing, therefore, in the 
			power and in the peace of the Creator. Adonai.

			RA, Fragment 52 
			-
			Session 102, March 22, 1983
			 
				
				Jim: And now, in Session 102, it was once again Carla’s turn to 
			experience another psychic greeting which intensified a momentary 
			lapse from harmony on her part. She was unable to accept a portion 
			of my perception of our shared relationship for the period of about 
			an hour or two, but that was long enough, due to her intense 
			emotions during that time, for a potent working to be accomplished 
			by our friend of negative polarity.   
				Fortunately, most people will 
			not have to worry about such instant and dramatic intensifications 
			of disharmonious moments since few people or groups attract the 
			attention of fifth-density, negative entities. But the general 
			principle is that one who is standing close to light experiences an 
			honor which must be balanced by the responsibility of reflecting 
			that light as harmoniously as possible, and this principle holds for 
			all seekers. Failure to live up to that responsibility simply brings 
			one another more intensive opportunity to do so until it is done, or 
			until one steps away from the light.  
				In the third paragraph of Ra’s second response we find the key 
			concept or attitude for dealing with any such psychic greetings, or 
			any difficulties in general, that one may face in the life patterns. 
			Further into the session Ra gives the basic criteria for the 
			unblocking of the yellow-ray energy center, the one with which Carla 
			was working in this situation. Surgery was avoided, and the spasming 
			condition of Carla’s abdominal region was brought under control over 
			a period of about two years. A potent working, that one!
 
				Carla: Ah, humanity! Jim’s and my discord was about that age-old 
			dynamic between men and women: monogamy. Who was it that wrote the 
			little ditty: “Hogamus, higgimus, men are polygamous; Higgimus, 
			hogamus, dames are monogamous”? Ogden Nash? Dorothy Parker? At any 
			rate, this is true, or tends to be. Jim asked for an open 
			relationship several times in our early days together. Being most 
			honestly more a friend than a BOY-friend, being linked to me 
			primarily by our work together rather than any romantic interest, he 
			naturally responded to the many lovely women who came his way. In 
			this same circumstance, it never occurred to me to seek a further 
			relationship. I was totally satisfied to have Don as my companion 
			and mate, and had long since left off blaming him for wanting to be 
			celibate, and also was perfectly happy with Jim’s and my friendship 
			and intimate life together. How we do stir up confusion with our 
			desires! Yet to desire is most proper. I think much of learning in 
			life is involved with the right use of will and desire.
 
				One of the major healings of my life occurred with the removal of 
			about half my descending colon in 1992. This cleared out much old 
			and dead matter, and enabled me to do corresponding work within 
			myself at the metaphysical level. There was much to release, and I 
			felt wonderful to be able to do that. The psyche and the soma, soul 
			and body, are inextricably intertwined and pain to one will be 
			reflected in the other. However, when the body alone is harmed, the 
			mind is much freer to re-vision the trauma than when it is the mind 
			and emotions which are injured. If such damage is not addressed and 
			respected, it can move ever deeper into the body’s health, 
			unbalancing and undermining it.
 
				After that surgery, with its attendant metaphysical work, I had 
			released all I could of the whole tragedy of Don’s death and my 
			life, so diminished without his company. And so I became finally 
			able to move on into new life. I was sent home with a new diet, 
			following closely Ra’s suggestions. Every look into my GI system 
			showed ulcers, and given my 30-year use of cortisone, this is not 
			remarkable. The diet was called “low sediment,” and on it were the 
			well-cooked meats, veggies and fruits, sugars and fats that Ra had 
			recommended, but not on it were the usual health foods- whole 
			grains, nuts, berries, uncooked fruits and vegetables. I think one 
			could almost characterize it as the UN-health diet! Yet it has 
			worked, thank the Lord, for five years so far, and I am most 
			grateful. I think I share with many people who have chronic disease 
			that feeling of living on the razor’s edge. I have to be careful, as 
			mistakes are costly. I do miss salads especially, but have no 
			argument with the destiny that has allowed me these years of life I 
			almost did not have.
 
				One note about “Bob”: he was an amazing help in one area: my 
			feelings of suicidal nature. After Don’s death, and especially after 
			I found out what Don had been thinking, I felt totally guilty for 
			not being able to see his fears and allay them. I felt as though it 
			was all my fault. The penalty, I felt strongly, should be death. I 
			was quite unwilling to take my own life. Knowing how it had affected 
			me when Don died, I knew I could never do that to those I love. 
			Which left me hanging between life and death. Through the years from 
			1984 to 1992, the forces of death circled ever closer until finally 
			I could look death in the eye, and find the faith to affirm life and 
			love and healing. The part prayer had in this was substantial to say 
			the least. And Bob’s prayers were especially powerful to save. He 
			told me of these suicidal vibrations long before I could do much 
			besides drown in sorrow, and helped me through those pangs of 
			self-knowledge and self-judgment which were so unbalanced. And he 
			was joined by so many others. I had the sensation of being upheld in 
			love, safe and sound, during the whole of the 1991-92experience 
			which involved four trips to the hospital, critically ill and quite 
			foundered, my GI tract closed tight.
 
				We have lost touch with Bob, in case you would wish us to give his 
			name and direction. He let us know he had retired from active 
			healing, and wished to spend his time now in deep prayer on the 
			planetary level. Our thanks and blessings, wherever you are, dear 
			Bob.
 
				It was not easy to find Arthur Schoen. Ra had pronounced his last 
			name “Shane,” but there was not an M.D. of any type by that name. 
			Finally we hit upon the German spelling—although if the name had 
			been pronounced correctly, it would be “shourn,” more or less. But 
			this IS America, so of course the name was Americanized. We actually 
			did go see this man, but left before he could treat me, as he and 
			Donald did not see eye to eye. This is no surprise, for Don wanted 
			him to read Ra’s diagnosis, and the doctor did not really feel 
			comfortable consulting with a discarnate entity.
 
				Ra’s suggestion to “link hands and walk towards the sun” is good 
			counsel indeed. Had we been able to dwell in praise and 
			thanksgiving, much would have been altered. But things were as they 
			were. From this remove of time, I see and give praise and thanks for 
			every moment we had together. Whatever it has cost, it was and is 
			worth it all.
   
			Session 102, March 22, 1983
 
			 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 first please give me the condition of the 
			instrument?
 Ra: I am Ra. The physical energy deficit of this entity is the most 
			substantial across which we have come. The mental and 
			mental/emotional distortions are near to balance and the vital 
			energy of the instrument, as a whole, is distorted towards health or 
			strength/weakness due to the will of the instrument.
 
 Questioner: Will Ra please tell us what caused the pain and cramping 
			in the instrument’s stomach, and what could be done to heal it?
 Ra: In order to observe the cause of physical distortions towards 
			illness one must look to the energy center which is blocked. In this 
			situation, the blockage being yellow-ray, the experience has had the 
			characteristics of that region of the chemical body. The so-called 
			lacuna in the wind-written armor of light and love was closed and 
			not only repaired but much improved. However, the distortions 
			energized during this momentary lapse from free energy flow are 
			serious and shall be continuing for, in all possibility/probability 
			vortices, some of your space/time, for a predisposition to 
			spasticity in the transverse colon has been energized. There is also 
			pre-existing weakness in pancreatic functions, especially that link 
			with the hypothalamus. There is also the pre-existing damage to 
			portions of the liver. These lacks or distortions manifest in that 
			portion of the system directly proceeding from the jejunum. Further, 
			there is some irritation closer to the duodenum which causes the 
			instrument to fail in assimilating foodstuffs. This is an 
			allopathically-caused irritation.
 The diet is of central import. We can go no further in observing the 
			system of the entity as a full discussion of those distortions 
			towards various weakness/strengths which contribute to the present 
			difficulty begin with the lips and end with the anus. We may note 
			that the instrument has remained centered upon the Creator at a 
			percentage exceeding ninety. This is the key. Continue in 
			thanksgiving and gratitude for all things.
 There are stronger anti-spasmodic drugs which the one not known to 
			this instrument, but known as Arthur, may aid by the offering. The 
			recommendation to do this, being as it is that which does not retain 
			or remove life and does further remove from the instrument its 
			opportunities for study in this situation, needs must be withheld. 
			We are not in a position to recommend treatment at this space/time 
			beyond the watching of the types of foodstuffs ingested.
 
 Questioner: Thank you. I’m not sure that I understood everything 
			that you said. The last name of this Arthur, and where he is 
			located? Can you give me that information?
 Ra: I am Ra. We can.
 
 Questioner: Will you please do that?
 Ra: I am Ra. The entity, sound vibration Arthur, has a surname 
			Schoen, and is of your locality.
 
 Questioner: What foods should the instrument eliminate in her diet 
			in order to alleviate these painful attacks?
 Ra: The information gained from the one known as Bob is that which 
			is to be recommended. Further, all foodstuffs are to be cooked so 
			that those things which are ingested be soft and easily macerated. 
			There is a complex addiction, due to long-standing eating habits, to 
			your sugars. It is to be recommended that, therefore, this sugar be 
			given in its more concentrated form in your time of late afternoon, 
			as you term it, with the ingestion of the sugared libation 
			approximately one to two of your hours after the evening meal. It is 
			further suggested that since this instrument has been using sugars 
			for carbohydrates that a small amount of carbohydrates, low in 
			sugar, be ingested approximately one to two of your hours before the 
			sleeping period.
 
 Questioner: As I understand what you say, the instrument is to have 
			no sugar until late in the afternoon. Is that correct?
 Ra: I am Ra. No.
 
 Questioner: I didn’t fully understand what you meant about when she 
			should have the sugar. Could you clear that up, please?
 Ra: I am Ra. The concentrated sugar; that is, the dessert, the ice 
			cream, the cookie, should be ingested at that time. Small amounts of 
			the fructose, maple, or raw honey may be ingested periodically for, 
			as we have said, the chemistry of this yellow-ray body is such that 
			the sugar is being used by blood enzymes as would carbohydrates in a 
			less distorted yellow-ray, physical vehicle.
 
 Questioner: I’m sorry that I am so slow at picking up precisely what 
			we are getting at here. I want to be sure that we get this right, so 
			I’ll probably ask a few more stupid questions. Was the spasm that 
			caused the extreme pain a spasm of the ileum?
 Ra: I am Ra. Partially. The transverse colon also spasmed, as did 
			the ducts to the liver in its lower portion. There were also muscle 
			spasms from the bronchial coverings down through the pelvis and from 
			shoulder blades to hips. These sympathetic spasms are a symptom of 
			the exhaustion of the entity’s physical vehicle.
 
 Questioner: Then the opening for these spasms was originally made by 
			the yellow-ray blockage but are triggered by the foodstuff which has 
			to do with the ingestion of sugar. Am I correct?
 Ra: I am Ra. You are partially correct.
 
 Questioner: Then what else causes the spasms?
 Ra: I am Ra. We speak of two types of cause. The first or proximate 
			cause was a meal with too much oil and too large a burden of 
			undercooked vegetable material. The sugar of the dessert and the few 
			sips of your coffee mixture also were not helpful. The second 
			cause—and this shall be stated clearly—is the energizing of any 
			pre-existing condition in order to keep this group from functioning 
			by means of removing the instrument from the ranks of those able to 
			work with those of Ra.
 
 Questioner: Now, there are two areas that the instrument can look to 
			for curing this problem. I understand that the yellow-ray blockage 
			problem has been completely repaired, shall I say. If this is not 
			correct, could you make suggestions on that, please?
 Ra: I am Ra. Each entity must, in order to completely unblock yellow 
			ray, love all which are in relationship to it, with hope only of the 
			other selves’ joy, peace, and comfort.
 
 Questioner: The second thing that the instrument must do to affect 
			this cure is to be careful of diet which includes all that Ra has 
			just stated and that which Bob recommends from his readings. There 
			seem to be so many different things that can cause this spasm. I was 
			wondering if there were a general approach to food. Could Ra 
			recommend those foods that the instrument could eat that would have 
			no chance of causing a spasm. Could Ra do that?
 Ra: I am Ra. No.
 
 Questioner: Is that because of the first distortion?
 Ra: I am Ra. No.
 
 Questioner: Why cannot Ra do that?
 Ra: I am Ra. There are no foods which this instrument can take with 
			total confidence that no spasm shall occur. The spasming portions of 
			the vehicle have become sensitized through great distortions towards 
			that which you call pain.
 
 Questioner: Is there a group of foods that is most likely to not 
			cause the spasming or any foods that Ra could name that would be 
			highly likely not to cause spasms?
 Ra: I am Ra. Yes.
 
 Questioner: Could Ra please state which foods are highly probable to 
			not cause the spasming?
 Ra: I am Ra. The liquids not containing carbonation, the well-cooked 
			vegetable which is most light and soft, the well-cooked grains, the 
			non-fatted meat such as the fish. You may note that some recommended 
			foodstuffs overlap allergies and sensitivities due to the juvenile 
			rheumatoid arthritic distortions. Further, although sugar such as is 
			in your sweetened desserts represents a potential, we may suggest 
			that it be included at this period for aforementioned reasons.
 
 Questioner: Would Ra please estimate the length of time in our time 
			periods for the probability of this problem, if we follow these 
			curative measures, for this problem to continue with extreme 
			severity?
 Ra: I am Ra. One of your moon’s revolutions has a good 
			possibility/probability vortex of seeing either the worsening of the 
			spastic condition so that surgery becomes indicated or the bettering 
			of the situation so that the diet continues be watched but the 
			spasms be removed. The housing of the working is within the 
			infection within the duodenum, the stomach, the jejunum, the ileum, 
			the transverse colon, and portions of the liver. This shall be 
			somewhat difficult to remove and constitutes perhaps the most 
			efficient working to date. We may suggest, again, that the one known 
			as Bob may be of aid. The one known as Stuart could, if it wished, 
			discover the infection which is only marginally detectable but may 
			prefer not to do so. In this case it would be well to request 
			physical aid from an allopathic specialist such as that which has 
			been mentioned.
 
 Questioner: Do you mean by that Arthur Schoen?
 Ra: I am Ra. That is correct.
 
 Questioner: You mentioned the possibility of surgery. What would be 
			the surgery to be done, specifically?
 Ra: I am Ra. The body cannot long bear the extreme acidity which is 
			the environment of such spasms and will develop the holes or 
			ulcerations which then do appear upon the allopathic testings and 
			suggest to the chirurgeon that which is to be excised.
 
 Questioner: In other words, would this be the removal of a duodenic 
			ulcer that would be performed?
 Ra: I am Ra. If the ulceration occurs, it shall be past the jejunum, 
			and most likely include the ileum and upper portions of the 
			transverse colon.
 May we ask for one more query of normal length as this entity, 
			though filled with enough transferred energy, has the most fragile 
			framework through which we may channel this and our energies.
 
 Questioner: Obviously we would like not to get to the point of 
			surgery. The only other alternative that comes to mind other than 
			the diet and the instrument’s mental work is healing through a 
			healer, and I would like Ra’s recommendation with respect to a 
			non-allopathic type healer and any recommendations that Ra could 
			make for either Jim or myself to act in that capacity or anyone else 
			that Ra could recommend so that we wouldn’t have to go through a 
			surgical operation if it seems to become necessary. If we could 
			begin working on one of these other approaches right away, I think 
			it would be highly recommended. Would Ra comment on that, please?
 Ra: I am Ra. We salute the opening of compassion circuitry in the 
			questioner but note that that which is being experienced by this 
			group is being experienced within an healing atmosphere. The healing 
			hands of each have limited use when the distortion has so many 
			metaphysical layers and mixtures. Therefore, look not to a healing 
			but to the joy of companionship, for each is strong and has its feet 
			set upon the way. The moon casts its shadows. What shall you see? 
			Link hands and walk towards the sun. In this instance this is the 
			greatest healing. For the physical vehicle we can suggest far less 
			than you had hoped.
 
 Questioner: Is there anything that we can do to improve the contact 
			or make the instrument more comfortable?
 Ra: I am Ra. All is well. Find love and thanksgiving together, and 
			each shall support each. The alignments are conscientious.
 We are known to you as Ra. We leave you in the love and in the light 
			of the one infinite Creator. Go forth, then, merry and glad in His 
			power and peace. Adonai.
