I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Ra quote comes from 73.11-.12:
“Questioner: Desire and will are key factors in the process. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. We would add one quality. In the magical personality desire, will, and polarity are the keys.
Questioner: I would then assume that the many so-called evangelists which we have in our society at present, many have great desire and very great will, and possibly great polarity. It seems to me that in some cases that there is a lack of information, or awareness, that creates a less-than-effective working in the magical sense. Am I correct in this analysis?
Ra: I am Ra. You are partially correct. In examining the polarity of a service-to-others working, the free will must be seen as paramount. Those entities of which you speak are attempting to generate positive changes in consciousness while abridging free will. This causes the blockage of the magical nature of the working except in those cases wherein an entity freely desires to accept the working of the evangelist, as you have called it.”
In the previous questions in this session Don was investigating the magical personality. In this question Don asked Ra if the evoking of the magical personality that was discussed in the previous question was a function of the adept’s desire and will. Ra agreed with desire and will being important and then added polarity as the third necessary ingredient for invoking the magical personality. It makes sense that the desire of the magician or adept would be the primary quality that would determine the nature and purpose of a magical working. These would all be imbued with the general statement of any magician which is, “I seek to know in order to serve.” Then, of course, it would be necessary for the magician to have a very strong will that could focus the mind in a way that would be similar to a pencil’s drawing in the utilization of any visualization that would be part of the established ritual in order to achieve the desired results of the working. And the polarity of the magician would determine whether the eventual outcome would be service-to-others and, therefore white magic, or if the eventual outcome would be serviced-to-self, and therefore black magic. In 75.32, Ra gave more depth to our understanding of the magical personality by revealing its three basic aspects:
Questioner: The three aspects of the magical personality are stated to be power, love, and wisdom. Is this correct, and are these the only primary aspects of the magical personality?
Ra: I am Ra. The three aspects of the magical personality—power, love, and wisdom—are so called in order that attention be paid to each aspect in developing the basic tool of the adept: that is, its self.
It is by no means a personality of three aspects. It is a being of unity, being of sixth density, and equivalent to what you call your higher self and, at the same time, is a personality enormously rich in variety of experience and subtlety of emotion.
The three aspects are given that the neophyte not abuse the tools of its trade but, rather, approach those tools balanced in the center of love and wisdom and thus seeking power in order to serve.
And in 75.39, Ra suggested that meditation on these aspects was helpful in developing one’s magical personality, especially for Don, Carla, and myself as each one of us personified one of these aspects:
Questioner: Then is it correct that a good sequence for developing the invocation of the magical personality are alternate meditations, first on power, then a meditation on love, and then a meditation on wisdom, and to continue cycling that way? Is that an appropriate technique?
Ra: I am Ra. This is indeed an appropriate technique. In this particular group there is an additional aid in that each entity manifests one of these qualities in a manner which approaches the archetype. Thusly visualization may be personalized and much love and support within the group generated.
Then Don and Ra discussed a type of magician in our religious culture that is called the evangelist. Don granted that many of our so-called evangelists have all of these qualities active in their ministries, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on the reason that such entities do not have particularly effective magical workings. Ra solved the riddle by suggesting that the granting of free will is most important to any white magical working, and evangelists, by trade, are attempting to gain converts by abridging their free will. Ra then suggested that this abridging of free will blocks the magical nature of the evangelist’s working which would be to create a change in the consciousness of its listeners and followers. I am assuming this abridging is accomplished by something like the threat of burning in hell if one didn’t adhere to the evangelist’s idea of a righteous life. In 87.8, Ra gave an example of the free will of followers that has been abridged by the leader of a group such as an evangelist would be:
Questioner: A reflection of this could be seen in our density in many of those leaders that instigate war and have followers who support, in total conviction that the direction of conquest is correct. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. Any organization which demands obedience without question upon the basis of relative power is functioning according to the above-described plan.
This morning I took advantage of the overnight rains and decided to pull the little tufts of grass that are growing in many places in the moss garden. So I used a little trowel that has a V cut out of its blade making it very easy to surround and uproot these little mounds of grass which are an inch or two in diameter. It was chilly enough outside that I only stayed out for about half an hour and got about a quarter of the moss garden weeded.
This afternoon I went over to southern Indiana to visit a dear friend of Carla’s and mine who now lives in a care home as a result of suffering two strokes two years ago. This was her birthday, and I met up with her daughter to have a little birthday party in her room, compete with gifts, cake, and ice cream. Then we watched the first episode of Star Trek Discovery which I had never heard of before since I don’t watch television. It was quite well written and kept your attention focused on the characters and the plot.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
December 28
Let Jesus’ Heart Be Yours
I am of the principle of love and I greet you in the consciousness of Jesus the Christ.
All praise and glory be to the Lord of creation! Imagine the immensity of the galaxies, the infinity of the reaches of orderly, free-wheeling space and see in this immensity the great glory of the Holy One.
Know that you are part of that glory, for you, too, are a creation of the holy Father and a child of the Creator of all things.
Let Jesus’ heart be yours, then, and let the glory of the Father come upon you like the fire of the spirit of Jesus; move along your limbs like fire; move along your lips like fire, that you may utter those things which may be of service and that you may reach your hands in that same service, therefore adding to that great glory which daily grows, the glory of God in Christ.
May you be today a servant of love itself. And may love change the face of the earth.
In love, joy and peace, we leave you. 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.
