I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Ra quote comes from 76.4:

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.”

We began to us the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram in Session #72, when our friend of negative polarity was able to stop two Ra sessions from happening. He was able to energize inner ear difficulties that Carla had from childhood and cause simple vertigo or fainting. But Don and I couldn’t tell that she had simply fainted. So Don decided to use this ritual in the next session, and it was successful in keeping our friend from causing Carla to faint again as it did indeed cleanse and protect our place of working as Ra said in 72.8: 

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.

In this question Don is asking Ra what the effect of our use of the ritual had been up to that point. It had been four months since the last session with Ra, and in that four months we had been able to reach the lower limits of the truly magical, according to Ra. So we were glad to continue on as beginners in this kind of working and used the ritual on a daily basis for most of the rest of our time together. In 74.5, Don asked Ra if it would “be beneficial for us to perform the banishing ritual more” in the Ra room:

Questioner: Would it be beneficial for us to perform the banishing ritual more in this room?

Ra: I am Ra. It is beneficial to regularly work in this place.

I think that the most important point that Ra made about this or any such ritual that a student might use is that the being of the student is the factor that informs the working of the ritual. It is not the working that informs the being. The ritual is the tool through which the being may perform its function and make the working work. The student enhances its beingness by concentrating on its spiritual path in various ways: some examples would be processing catalyst on a daily basis, by remembering and worshipping the Creator in some way each day, and by seeking to find love in every moment of the life experience. In 30.2, Ra gave the basic framework of how we manifest our beingness in our incarnations:

Questioner: Thank you. Would you define mind, body, and spirit separately?

Ra: I am Ra. These terms are all simplistic descriptive terms which equal a complex of energy focuses; the body, as you call it, being the material of the density which you experience at a given space/time or time/space; this complex of materials being available for distortions of what you would call physical manifestation.

The mind is a complex which reflects the inpourings of the spirit and the up-pourings of the body complex. It contains what you know as feelings, emotions, and intellectual thoughts in its more conscious complexities. Moving further down the tree of mind we see the intuition, which is of the nature of the mind more in contact, or in tune, with the total beingness complex. Moving down to the roots of mind we find the progression of consciousness which gradually turns from the personal to the racial memory to the cosmic influxes, and thus becomes a direct contactor of that shuttle which we call the spirit complex.

This spirit complex is the channel whereby the inpourings from all of the various universal, planetary, and personal inpourings may be funneled into the roots of consciousness, and whereby consciousness may be funneled to the gateway of intelligent infinity through the balanced intelligent energy of body and mind.

You will see by this series of definitive statements that mind, body, and spirit are inextricably intertwined and cannot continue, one without the other. Thus we refer to the mind/body/spirit complex rather than attempting to deal with them separately, for the work, shall we say, that you do during your experiences is done through the interaction of these three components, not through any one.

Today is the 41st anniversary of the beginning of the Ra contact. It is hard for me to put into words all of the joy, peace, and sense of fulfillment that remembering those magical days causes me to feel after all this time. When I joined Don and Carla on December 23, 1980, I had no idea of what the future might hold. I had known them for a year and had attended their Sunday night meditations for all of that year, driving up from my homestead in the woods of central Kentucky to be part of their channeling group. I felt a real affinity for the messages that those of Latwii channeled through Carla, and there was this strong and easy feeling of familiarity with Don and Carla that felt like I had found my spiritual family. When the Ra contact began, it seemed like I was on a rocket ship headed for the stars. As time has gone on, that journey has become pointed inward, to the universe within, and I believe that it has no end.

Since there is a chance for some snow tomorrow I made my usual Sunday errand run this morning to pick up some food for the kitties at Feeder’s Supply. Then I stopped by Paul’s Fruit Market to pick up some food for myself. I also did my usual Saturday errands by stopping by the veterinarian’s office to pick up some medications for my kitties, and on the way home I filled Stanley’s gas tank.

From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:

January 15

The Perception Of Manyness

I am the spirit of Jesus Christ, the principle of the full consciousness of love in the vibration which comforts this instrument.

In your minds you know that all things come from one source and go to one source. And yet in your hearts you who peer into the gloom of the shadows of the world’s day perceive often that many things come not from one source but from many, and likewise that the fruits of action are scattered to the twelve directions, not moving once again into unity but shattering again and again into the chaos of unintended effect.

Yet we say to you that one of the great and overriding benefits of consciousness with which the consciousness of love has been intermingled is a realization of the incorrectness of the perception of manyness, either of the source or of the final disposition of the energies which move within your notice and awareness.

Seek first to know the consciousness of love when you wish, secondly, to know the nature of those things which occur to you which are played out in front of you and which depart from you. Only in that transformed consciousness shall your eyes see truly and your heart resound with the unity of love.

Peace be with you, now and always. 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.
