I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Ra quote comes from 73.10:
“Questioner: In invoking the alerted light, then, it would seem to me that the visualization of the invocation would be dependent upon what the use was to be of the light. The use could be for healing, could be for communication, or it could be for the general awareness, you might say, of the creation and the Creator. Would you please speak on this process and my correctness in making this assumption?
Ra: I am Ra. We shall offer some thoughts, though it is doubtful that we may exhaust this subject. Each visualization, regardless of the point of the working, begins with some work within the indigo ray. As you may be aware, the ritual which you have begun is completely working within the indigo ray. This is well, for it is the gateway. From this beginning, light may be invoked for communication or for healing.
You may note that in the ritual which we offered you to properly begin the Ra workings the first focus is upon the Creator.
We would further note a point which is both subtile and of some interest. The upward spiraling light developed in its path by the will, and ultimately reaching an high place of mating with the inward fire of the One Creator, still is only preparation for the work upon the mind/body/spirit which may be done by the adept. There is some crystallization of the energy centers used during each working so that the magician becomes, more and more, that which it seeks.
More importantly, the time/space mind/body/spirit analog, which is evoked as the magical personality, has its only opportunity to gain rapidly from the experience of the catalytic action available to the third-density space/time mind/body/spirit. Thus the adept is aiding the Creator greatly by offering great catalyst to a greater portion of the creation which is identified as the mind/body/spirit totality of an entity.”
Don’s query to Ra assumed that the ritual of invocation of the light that would be chosen by the adept would be dependent upon what the purpose of the invocation would be. The light being invoked is the light that is available to anyone seeking adepthood, and Don is querying Ra for more information about the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram that we used to protect our meditation room and the room that we used for the sessions with Ra. Ra responded by saying that all such rituals, no matter their purpose, will begin in the indigo ray because it is the “gateway” ray, the ray that can lead to union with the Creator in violet ray and can produce healing, communication, and enhancing one’s experience of being the Creator. In 76.4, Don asked Ra if our use of the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram was effective:
Questioner: Has our use of the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram been of any value, and what is its effect?
Ra: I am Ra. This group’s use of the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram has been increasingly efficacious. Its effect is purification, cleansing, and protection of the place of working.
The efficacy of this ritual is only beginning to be, shall we say, at the lower limits of the truly magical. In doing the working, those aspiring to adepthood have done the equivalent of beginning the schoolwork, many grades ahead.
For the intelligent student this is not to be discouraged; rather to be encouraged is the homework, the reading, the writing, the arithmetic, as you might metaphorically call the elementary steps towards the study of being.
It is the being that informs the working, not the working that informs the being. Therefore, we may leave you to the work you have begun.
Then Ra mentioned that the Circle of One which they gave us to begin the Ra sessions remains completely focused upon the One Creator, for those of Ra came specifically to teach the Law of One, the Law of the One Infinite Creator. In 2.6, Ra gave us the Circle of One to begin each of the Ra sessions:
Questioner: Consider them asked. I mean, I don’t have anything to go on. What is the proper use of this instrument? What should we do to maximize her ability to . . . comfort, rejuvenation, etc.?
Ra: I am Ra. We are pleased that you asked this question, for it is not our understanding that we have the right/duty to share our perceptions on any subject but philosophy without direct question. However, this mind/body/spirit [complex] is not being correctly used and therefore is experiencing unnecessary distortions of body in the area of fatigue.
The vibrations may well be purified by a simple turning to the Circle of One and the verbal vibration while doing so of the following dialogue:
Question: “What is the Law?”
Answer: “The Law is One.”
Question: “Why are we here?”
Answer: “We seek the Law of One.”
Question: “Why do we seek Ra?”
Answer: “Ra is an humble messenger of the Law of One.”
Both together: “Rejoice then, and purify this place in the Law of One. Let no thought-form enter the circle we have walked about this instrument, for the Law is One.”
Then Ra revealed the ultimate truth: that all of this work in indigo and violet rays is still just preparation for the further work that is possible for the adept. As the adept continues in its practice of invoking the light in such rituals, and in living the spiritual life, there is a crystallization that takes place within the adept that allows it to not only seek and find that which it seeks, but it also allows the adept to become that which it seeks. In 75.23, Ra elaborated more on this concept:
Questioner: I am sorry for the confusion. Sometimes, as you say, sound vibration complexes are not very adequate, and I’m sorry.
You made the statement in a previous session that the true adept lives more and more as it is. Will you explain and expand upon that statement?
Ra: I am Ra. Each entity is the Creator. The entity, as it becomes more and more conscious of its self, gradually comes to the turning point at which it determines to seek either in service to others or in service to self. The seeker becomes the adept when it has balanced, with minimal adequacy, the energy centers red, orange, yellow, and blue, with the addition of the green for the positive, thus moving into indigo work.
The adept then begins to do less of the preliminary, or outer, work having to do with function, and begins to effect the inner work which has to do with being. As the adept becomes a more and more consciously crystallized entity it gradually manifests more and more of that which it always has been since before time: that is, the One Infinite Creator.
And for a more advanced example of the adept becoming what it seeks, those of Ra have not only sought the light for eons of time, but they have become the light as they said in 64.6:
Questioner: Could you describe or tell me of rituals or technique used by Ra in seeking in the direction of service?
Ra: I am Ra. To speak of that which sixth-density social memory complexes labor within in order to advance is at best misprision of plain communication, for much is lost in transmission of concept from density to density, and the discussion of sixth density is inevitably distorted greatly.
However, we shall attempt to speak to your query, for it is an helpful one in that it allows us to express once again the total unity of creation. We seek the Creator upon a level of shared experience to which you are not privy, and rather than surrounding ourselves in light, we have become light. Our understanding is that there is no other material except light. Our rituals, as you may call them, are an infinitely subtle continuation of the balancing processes which you are now beginning to experience.
We seek now without polarity. Thus we do not invoke any power from without, for our search has become internalized as we become light/love and love/light. These are the balances we seek, the balances between compassion and wisdom which, more and more, allow our understanding of experience to be informed that we may come closer to the unity with the One Creator which we so joyfully seek.
Your rituals at your level of progress contain the concept of polarization, and this is most central at your particular space/time.
And even more importantly, if that is possible, such rituals of invocation of the light allow the higher self and mind/body/spirit totality of the entity to directly experience the catalyst of third density, so that they may also experience further rapid growth of their own and enhance the Creator’s knowing of Itself. This is possible because the third density contains catalyst that is 100 times as intense as the catalyst in any other density as Ra mentioned in 20.24:
Questioner: Can you tell me why nine hundred years is the optimum life span?
Ra: I am Ra. The mind/body/spirit complex of third density has perhaps one hundred times as intensive a program of catalytic action from which to distill distortions and learn/teachings than any other of the densities. Thus the learn/teachings are most confusing to the mind/body/spirit complex which is, shall we say, inundated by the ocean of experience.
During the first, shall we say, perhaps 150 to 200 of your years, as you measure time, a mind/body/spirit complex is going through the process of a spiritual childhood, the mind and the body not enough in a disciplined configuration to lend clarity to the spiritual influxes. Thus, the remaining time span is given to optimize the understandings which result from experience itself.
This afternoon I decided to rake up the excess leaf dust between the fish pond and the pet cemetery and put it in a wheelbarrow so I could spread it in the areas between the house and driveway, directly behind the house, and between the giant sycamore tree and the garage. I used my leaf rake to rake it up and a square blade shovel to load it into the wheelbarrow. I used the shovel to roughly spread the leaf dust and then used the rake to even out the application. These areas were too small to use my big mower in to crunch leaves into dust, and I want as much of my yard to have the fertilizing effect of the leaf dust as possible as it has already helped the grass to grow in the larger areas of the yard where I could use my big mower. In all I spread about two- and one-half wheelbarrow loads in these three areas.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
December 27
Where Christ Awaits You
I am of that principle known to you as Jesus the Christ. I greet you in the full consciousness of love divine.
We find this instrument’s mind this day a muddle of year-end business: things to be done, things to finish up for the old year, things to begin for the new. Her mind is not resting in the past or the future or the present but footling between them, attempting to make perfect that which has already been imperfectly perceived, while the attempt goes on in the future also to shape and position each prop and piece of business, that the stage of the future may be set well and performed upon perfectly. The present moment hardly exists in such a frame of mind.
Truly we grasp that in the darkness of your winter cycle it is well to put the old to rest and to welcome the new. But this day we ask you, in the spirit of divine love, to seat yourself first upon the holy ground of the present moment where Christ awaits you, meekly, humbly and without noise, silently, in the depths of your heart, in the inner room of the present moment. This is Christ the King, kneeling patiently and waiting for you to open the door.
May this feeling of presence be with you in love and in peace everlasting. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of Love and open our hearts, our minds, and our souls to send love, light, and healing energies to Mother Earth as she brings forth a New Earth in fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energies of the One Infinite Creator heal the heart of each soul in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energies in their hearts, in their minds, and in their souls. Amen.
