I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Ra quote comes from 75.2:
“Questioner: I felt that this session was advisable before the instrument has her hospital experience. She wished to ask a few questions, if possible, about those.
First, is there anything that the instrument or we might do to improve the hospital experience or to aid the instrument in any way with respect to this?
Ra: I am Ra. Yes. There are ways of aiding the mental/emotional state of this entity with the notation that this is so only for this entity or one of like distortions. There is also a general thing which may be accomplished to improve the location which is called the hospital.
The first aiding has to do with the vibration of the ritual with which this entity is most familiar and which this entity has long used to distort its perception of the One Infinite Creator. This is an helpful thing at any point in the diurnal period but is especially helpful as your sun body removes itself from your local sight.
The general improvement of the place of the performance of the ritual of the purification of the place is known. We may note that the distortion towards love, as you call this spiritual/emotional complex which is felt by each for this entity, will be of aid whether this is expressed or unmanifest, as there is no protection greater than love.”
After completing an astonishing 75 sessions with Ra in the first ten months of 1981, we had to stop for four months because Carla needed to have surgery on her right elbow the first week of November due to arthritic deterioration of the bones. So Don asked Ra what we might do to help Carla make it through the surgery and have a speedy recovery. Ra said that for Carla, or any person of her religious distortions, that she could receive comfort through—I believe—prayer in general and the Lord’s Prayer in particular. Prayer also aided Carla in preparing for the Ra contact as Ra mentioned in 22.2:
Questioner: Secondly, she would like to know why she feels more healthy now after she does these sessions. She’s generally feeling more healthy as time goes on.
Ra: I am Ra. This is a function of the free will of the entity. This entity has, for many of your years, prayed a certain set of sound vibration complexes before opening to communication. Before the trance state was achieved this prayer remained within the conscious portion of the mind complex and, though helpful, was not as effective as the consequence of this prayer, as you would call this vibrational sound complex, which then goes directly into the unconscious level, thus more critically affecting the communication from the spiritual complex.
Also, this entity has begun, due to this working, to accept certain limitations which it placed upon itself in order to set the stage for services such as it now performs. This also is an aid to re-aligning the distortions of the physical complex with regard to pain.
Ra also said that performing the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram would be helpful in both her hospital room and in the operating room. In her hospital room we could perform the ritual in person, but for the operating room we would need to perform it from a distance by visualization since we wouldn’t know which operating room was going to be used, and even if we did we probably would not be welcome to be in that room for any reason. In 72.8, Ra described how the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram worked:
Questioner: The negatively oriented entities who contact us and others on this planet are limited by the First Distortion. They have obviously been limited by the banishing ritual just performed. Could you describe, with respect to free will, how they limit themselves in order to work within the First Distortion? And how the banishing ritual itself works?
Ra: I am Ra. This query has several portions. Firstly, those of negative polarity do not operate with respect to free will unless it is necessary. They call themselves and will infringe whenever they feel it possible.
Secondly, they are limited by the great Law of Confusion in that, for the most part, they are unable to enter this planetary sphere of influence and are able to use the windows of time/space distortion only insofar as there is some calling to balance the positive calling. Once they are here, their desire is conquest.
Thirdly, in the instance of this instrument’s being removed permanently from this space/time, it is necessary to allow the instrument to leave its yellow-ray physical complex of its free will. Thus trickery has been attempted.
The use of the light forms being generated is such as to cause such entities to discover a wall through which they cannot pass. This is due to the energy complexes of the light beings and aspects of the One Infinite Creator invoked and evoked in the building of the wall of light.
And as a last suggestion Ra mentioned that “there is no protection greater than love,” so we sent Carla a lot of love through our thoughts, our feelings, and our actions. It took four months for Carla’s recovery from the surgery to be sufficient to begin the contact with Ra again the following February 3rd. In 63.5, Ra reaffirmed the value of love in general as a protection against psychic attacks:
Questioner: I know that you have already answered this question, but I feel it my duty now to ask it each time in case there is some new development, and that is, is there anything that we can do, that we aren’t doing, to lessen the effectiveness of the psychic attack upon the instrument?
Ra: I am Ra. Continue in love, and praise, and thanksgiving to the Creator. Examine previous material. Love is the great protector.
And in 44.10, Ra mentioned how we could use love specifically to nullify psychic attacks:
Questioner: This is very revealing to us. Thank you.
Each of us gets the signals and dreams. I have been aware of clairaudient communication at least once in waking up. Can you suggest a method whereby we might, shall I say, nullify the effect of the influence that we don’t want from a negative source?
Ra: I am Ra. There are various methods. We shall offer the most available or simple. To share the difficult contact with the other-selves associated with this working and to meditate in love for these senders of images and light for self and other-selves is the most available means of nullifying the effects of such occurrences. To downgrade these experiences by the use of intellect or the disciplines of will is to invite the prolonging of the effects. Far better, then, to share in trust such experiences and join hearts and souls in love and light with compassion for the sender and armor for the self.
This morning I made a trip to Kroger’s to by some groceries for the next week. I also stopped by Paul’s Fruit Market to pick up a few more food items before returning home. After I put the food away I decided to do an exercise that I have just recently begun doing again: ab crunches, in which I use a metal frame that goes over my head and then goes around behind me with a rounded V on both sides of me, while I am lying on the floor, so that I can exercise my abdominal muscles by doing half of a sit-up before going flat on the floor again. The metal frame is called an “ab cruncher” because it keeps constant tension on the abdominal muscles. If you do a full sit-up without the ab cruncher there is a release of tension as you go past the point of your upper body being perpendicular. Using the ab cruncher keeps you from going that far and keeps the tension on the abdominal muscles and provides a good workout.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
January 8
The Holiness Of High Places
I am of Jesus Christ. The full consciousness of love is the principle which wings my being into the nexus of your own. We who are of the principle of Jesus Christ greet you in that consciousness of love which pervades all things.
It has long been in the consciousness of humankind that the high places, the mountains and hills, are holy. Is there superstition and false belief to the holiness of high places? Perhaps some, and yet it is most certainly true that the spirit of the one Lord of all things dwells more purely in less cluttered atmospheres and is more prevalent in the perceptions of those who seek to rise, literally and symbolically, from the miasma of thought pollution which infects any crowded community.
We are able to speak anywhere, under any conditions. Yet the voice of love is often silent. To hear the stillness, it is often most helpful that the distractions of noise from other minds and other hearts which seek after other faces of the Lord be somewhat removed, both literally and, shall we say, psychologically. If you cannot get yourself to a high place within your external world, be absolutely certain that the high places within your own hearts are kept.
We leave you in the peace of holy places and still thoughts, now and forever. 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.
