The Camelot Journal

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Ra quote comes from 104.2:

“Questioner: The instrument would like to know what’s the optimum amount of aerobics, walking, and whirlpool exercises for the best condition at this time?

Ra: I am Ra. We shall answer in two ways. Firstly, to speak to the general case which pertains to this instrument in varying degree, each form of exercise is well accomplished approximately three to four times per your week. The amount of exercise, all quantified as one sum, is approximately one hour per diurnal period.

We now answer in a second way, distorted in this response to the duple conditions of yellow-ray, physical difficulty and mind complex distortion. The swirling waters then must needs be viewed as being appropriate four to five of your times per week. The walking and the exercising as much as is desired by the entity. The total of all these should in no case exceed ninety minutes per diurnal period.

The yellow-ray, physical body has been experiencing that which is called lupoid changes in much tissue of muscle and some of the organs as well. The exercise regains the wasting physical muscular strength. In some ways the walking is the more appropriate exercise due to the proximity of the entity to second-density creatures, particularly your trees. However, the habitation you enjoy does not offer such opportunity and instead offers the proximity to creations of mind/body/spirit complexes. This does not feed the mental/emotional needs of this entity although it produces the same physical result. The exercise fulfills more of the mental/emotional need due to the entity’s fondness for rhythmic expressions of the body such as those found in athletic endeavors derivative of the artifact system which is known among your peoples as the dance.

We suggest the support group encourage any exercise except that which exceeds the time limit which is already far beyond the physical limitations of this body complex. It is the way of distortion that in order to balance a distortion one must accentuate it. Thusly, the over-wearing of the body may, if correctly motivated, produce a lack of deficit at which juncture the lesser exercise limitations should be put into practice.”

Carla had Don ask Ra what amount of exercise that she should aim for when considering her walking, aerobics, and time in the whirlpool. Ra said that each exercise should be done three or four times a week and for about an hour a day. This was their general recommendation for Carla to follow if she was not experiencing any difficulties of mind or body. Ra also had a specific suggestion that considered Carla’s condition regarding her body and her mental complex. If she was suffering any difficulty in body or in mind, the whirlpool should be done four or five times per week, and the walking and aerobics as many times per week as she desired. In other words, if there was more difficulty of mind or body, then there should be more exercise accomplished. In 34.1, Ra first introduced us to this concept of more exercise being needed if there was some difficulty of mind or body for Carla:

Questioner: The instrument would like to know if two short exercise periods a day would be better for her than one long one?

Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect. The proper configuration of the physical complex exercising during the three month period wherein the instrument is vulnerable to physical complex distortion intensifications, needs the strengthening of the physical complex. This may appropriately be seen to be one major period of the exercising followed late in your diurnal cycle before the evening meditation by an exercise period approximately one-half the length of the first. This will be seen to be wearing upon the instrument. However, it will have the effect of strengthening the physical complex and lessening the vulnerability which might be taken advantage of.

Then Ra remarked that Carla’s lupus was causing wasting of some of her muscle tissue and internal organs as well. So Ra suggested that walking would help to regain this lost muscle tissue and that walking in a sylvan atmosphere would be helpful too. Our property had lots of trees, but where Carla walked her five-mile speed walks was a subdivision across the street from us which had lots of houses but very few trees. Ra also said that the aerobics was even more helpful for regaining the lost muscle tissue because it was much closer to dancing, which Carla love to do. In 84.3, Ra mentioned that Carla’s lupus was a pre-incarnative choice:

Questioner: What disease in particular were you speaking of and what would be its cause?

Ra: I am Ra. One disease, as you call this distortion, is that of the arthritis and the lupus erythematosus. The cause of this complex of distortions is, at base, pre-incarnative. We refrain from determining the other distortion potential at this space/time due to our desire to maintain the free will of this group. Affirmations may yet cause this difficulty to resolve itself. Therefore, we simply encouraged the general care with the diet with the instructions about allergy, as you call this quite complex distortion of the mind and body complexes.

And in 84.5, Ra mentioned how the lupus affected her feet:

Questioner: Can you make any suggestions about the instrument’s feet or how they got in the bad shape they are in, and would alternating the shoes help?

Ra: I am Ra. The distortion referred to above; that is, the complex of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and lupus erythematosus acts in such a way as to cause various portions of the body complex to become distorted in the way in which the instrument’s pedal appendages are now distorted.

Ra’s last piece of advice was that Don and I needed to be sure that Carla didn’t exceed her limitations too much as she loved to push herself to new goals and exceed her previous limits. Then Ra gave the basic definition of how to balance distortions of any kind: “It is the way of distortion that in order to balance a distortion one must accentuate it.” So this is why Ra suggested that when her body was suffering difficulties that Carla should work harder to balance or cure them than she would need to work if she had no unusual difficulties with either her body or her mind.

This morning I completed my first run through of Chapter 8, the last chapter of 102. I made some additions of information that I am hoping will expand people’s understanding of the concepts being discussed. Then I went over to Theineman’s Nursery and bought the last few flowers that I will need to transplant in my gardens before Homecoming. Then I went up to The Home Depot and bought three containers of Copper Fungicide to use on my Giant Hibiscus next Tuesday.

This afternoon I transplanted the Caladium and Firecracker Flowers into the flower garden in the middle of the Moss Garden. Then I went around the yard with the hose and watering wand to water the areas that looked dry and in need of a drink of water.

The Surrender Beyond Thought

I am of the principle of the love of Jesus the Christ. I greet you in the full consciousness of that perfect love.

Your thoughts this day busily consider what actions you shall take for the improvement and the straightening of your life’s many details. Yet there is a great difference between that thought which is manipulation and that surrender beyond thought which invites the spirit of the living God into action and creates transformation.

We ask you to dedicate your lives first to resting within the power of the spirit. If enough souls turned first to the spirit and only then to the world, the face of the Earth itself would be transformed!

And in the little round of one life the dedication of the self to the fiery, fertile essence of spirit produces a purity and wholeness in the life experience which takes a soul from detail to a consciousness of glory. For you are not insignificant compilers of detail if you open the doors of your desire to the spirit.

We leave you in the surrender which is perfect peace and perfect power, now and ever. 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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Ra quote comes from 104.1:

“Questioner: Could you first please give me the condition of the instrument?

Ra: I am Ra. The readings are somewhat less distorted towards physical bankruptcy and vital [energy] loss than at the previous asking. There is still considerable bias in these readings.”

When Don asked Ra what Carla’s condition was, Ra said she was a little better physically than in the last session, and her vital energies were also less distorted. In 103.1, this is what Ra had to say about Carla’s physical and vital energies which they referred to in this session:

The physical distortions of the instrument remain serious. Further, the vital energies of this mind/body/spirit complex are much diminished, although acceptable for the needs of this working. This is to be noted as the lowest or most distorted vital reading of this all-important energy. The mental and mental/emotional distortions are as last seen.

We find the will of the instrument, having been unwisely used, to have encouraged the distortions of vital energy. It is well that the instrument ponder this.

I think that Ra’s comment about Carla’s having unwisely used her will having caused the lower amount of vital energy was her tendency towards martyrdom. If she continued to use her will to power the Ra contact and reduce her vital energies this would also have ended the Ra contact as Ra mentioned in 92.35:

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.

Ra completed their answer with this summary: “There is still considerable bias in these readings.” I am pretty sure that Ra meant that Carla’s physical energies and vital energies were significantly below their normal levels even though they were higher than in the previous session. As I have mentioned previously, these last few sessions were spaced months apart because Don and Carla both were lower in their physical, mental, mental/emotional, and vital energies. Carla’s difficulties came mostly from her arthritis and the pain it caused plus psychic greetings that accentuated the pain. The long-term effect of the pain was to drain her physical energies. In 80.6, Ra mentioned how determined our negative friend was in using any target of opportunity to psychically greet Carla and to stop the Ra contact:

Questioner: What would our fifth-density visitor hope to gain for himself if he were to be successful in terminating this contact

Ra: I am Ra. As we have previously stated, the entity hopes to gain a portion of that light; that is, the mind/body/spirit complex of the instrument. Barring this, the entity intends to put out the light.

Don was also having more trouble with his aging body and the demands that having to fly to Atlanta before he could go to work as a pilot for Eastern Airlines. 1983 was a wearing year for us because of these low energies. In 106.12, Ra gave us a reading on the difficulties that Don was experiencing with his body:

Further, the yellow-ray, chemical vehicle of the questioner is aging and has more difficulty in the absorption of needed minerals such as iron and other substances such as papain, potassium, and calcium.

At the same time the body of yellow ray begins to have more difficulty eliminating trace elements such as aluminum. The energizing effect has occurred in the colon of the questioner and the distortions in that area are increasingly substantial. Lastly, there is a small area of infection in the mouth of the questioner which needs attention.

This morning I completed Chapter 7 of 102 and printed out a hardcopy for my notebook. Then I began Chapter 8, the last chapter of 102 and got about half way through it as it is a short chapter. Then I ran some errands to pick up groceries at Kroger’s and a prescription at Walgreen’s.

This afternoon I transplanted the 24 Caladium that I bought yesterday around the other Caladium on the top level of the flower garden in the center of the Moss Garden. There had been some begonias there, but the deer ate them, so I was glad to find more Caladium available as deer don’t seem to bother them. Then I watered the Caladium along with the other recent transplants of blue salvia beside the fish pond and the Angelonia by the parking area in front of the house.

The Ocean Of Love

I am of the true consciousness, the clear Christ-consciousness, of love which is the continuing manifestation of Jesus the Christ.

We continue, yet we are one in time and space as waves which lap upon the shore and then lap upon the shore again are yet one body of water. So time is to the spirit: ceaseless in essence yet progressive in manifestation.

Know that you are dwelling within an ocean of love. You may stand upon the shore and be conscious of time and let love lap at your feet; let the consciousness of love touch your feet. Or you may move into love and leave time behind, bathed in the essence of the transforming love of Jesus the Christ.

One thing more we ask of you and that is: be clear in the mind that negative experience will come when one turns the back upon the shore of love and walks willingly into the desert where love has dried up. The negative choices that separate you from the waters of love are sometimes subtle. Seek the ocean, for love awaits.

We leave you in peace, now and ever. 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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. The Ra quote today comes from 103.20:

“Questioner: I don’t want to overtire the instrument. We’re running close to time. I will just ask if there is anything we can do to improve the contact or make the instrument more comfortable, or if there is anything else that Ra could state at this time that would aid us?

Ra: I am Ra. We find the alignments quite fastidiously observed. You are conscientious. Continue in support, one for the other, and find the praise and thanksgiving that harmony produces. Rest your cares and be merry.

I am Ra. I leave you, glorying 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 Infinite Creator. Adonai.”

At the end of this session Don asked the two questions that became our standard way of being sure that we were giving the proper respect to the contact with Ra and the proper care of Carla. Because Carla, especially, and Don, to some degree, were having physical problems at this time, Don also asks if Ra could give us any other advice that would help us through this difficult time. In this year, 1983, we were only able to have four sessions with those of Ra due to these difficulties. Ra responded to the question of aiding the contact by saying that our alignments were “fastidiously observed.” This meant that we had done a good job of keeping our line of questioning purely on spiritual principles and had avoided seeking transient information. It took us a while at the beginning of the contact with Ra to discover that they used a code to give us this information. They would say that the appurtenances—the chalice, Bible, candle, and incense—were out of alignment when they wanted to tell us that our line of questioning was veering into transient territory. They couldn’t come right out and plainly say that because our contact with them was a function of our free will, and we could question in any way that we wanted. However, if we stayed too long in the transient territory in our questioning we would lose the contact with Ra. In 33.2, Ra emphasized that our free will was most important in contact with them:

Questioner: Can you give us advice on how to maintain the best possible condition for maintaining contact?

Ra: I am Ra. We have given information concerning the proper nurturing of this channel. We, therefore, repeat ourselves only in two ways in general. Firstly, we suggest that rather than being, shall we say, brave and ignoring a physical complex weakness distortion, it is good to share this distortion with the group and thus perhaps, shall we say, remove one opportunity for contact which is very wearying to the instrument, in order that another opportunity might come about in which the instrument is properly supported.

Secondly, the work begun in harmony may continue. Harmony, thanksgiving, and praise of opportunities and of the Creator: these are your protection. These are our suggestions. We cannot be specific for your free will is of the essence in this contact. As we said, we only speak to this subject because of our grasp of your orientation towards long-term maintenance of this contact. This is acceptable to us.

In 12.33, we first discovered Ra’s code that suggested our questioning was out of alignment as the measurements they gave us for the Bible, candle, chalice of water, and censor were not physically possible to replicate:

Questioner: Thank you. Is there anything that we can do to make the instrument more comfortable?

Ra: I am Ra. We ask you to realign the object upon which the symbols sit. It is not a significant distortion for one session only, but you will find upon measuring the entire assemblage that the resting place is one point four degrees [1.4°] from the correct alignment, the resting place an additional one-half degree [0.5°] away from proper orientation. Do not concern yourselves overly with this in the space/time nexus present, but do not allow these distortions to remain over a long period or the contact will be gradually impaired.

For our problems as a group, Ra suggested that our best action here would be to continue to support each other in harmony, which was also the best way to support the contact with those of Ra. Our group harmony and Carla’s purity of seeking to serve the Creator were the two reasons that Ra was able to speak to our group. This harmony could also give us good reason to give praise and thanksgiving that we were together, that we were serving to the best of our abilities, and this would allow us to “rest our cares and be merry.” In 100.15, Ra reminded us that the harmony of our group was most important:

The appurtenances are most conscientiously placed. We thank this diligent group. There is much greater distortion towards harmony at this asking and we join you in praise and thanksgiving. This is always the greatest boon to improvement of the contact, for it is the harmony of the group which supports this contact.

This morning I went outside early, before the sun could get on the Giant Hibiscus and cleared all of the dead leaves out of the patch that had been caused by the disease brown spot. Then I used the fungicide on all 31 of the Hibiscus plants to the point of drenching each leaf with it. Then I sprayed the pine straw mulch as well and used two full containers of fungicide for the entire process which I will repeat in a week. Then I went inside and began my second run through of Chapter 7 of 102.

This afternoon I took the hose and watering wand and watered all the flowers and newly planted bushes in the front, side, and back yards. It has been nearly two weeks since any rain has fallen on my gardens, and none is forecast until Sunday. So I will probably water every other day until we do get some rain. My last task was to go back over to Theineman’s Nursery and buy 24 caladium to put in the flower section in the middle of the Moss Garden. I will see if I can get those transplanted tomorrow.

Ponder Death

I am of the principle of love and I greet you in the name and the vibration of Jesus the Christ.

I see that your minds this morning dwell upon death, the death of those grown old in experience and frail; the death that is but the time for the self within to move to larger life and greater light.

Ponder death, holding in the attention the principle of perfect love, and know that death is only a transformation. For perfect love does not destroy but only transforms and changes.

Gaze with respect upon the frail bodies of the old and with even greater respect at the experience and the work in love which has been done by each who is aged in your world of days and years.

Know, too, that those transformations of mind which have taken place in the lives of those now leaving this world and this form shall be sifted, the dross removed, and the fruit harvested.

We leave you in the peace of every changing eternity, now and ever. 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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Ra quote comes from 103.15:

“Questioner: I am assuming that the skirt is skewed to the left for the same reason that it is in Card Number Four, indicating the distance service-to-self polarized entities keep from others, and I am also assuming that the face is turned to the left for the same reason that it is in Card Number Five, because of the nature of catalyst. Is this roughly correct?

Ra: I am Ra. Please expel breath over the breast of the instrument from right to left.

[This was done as directed.]

I am Ra. That is well.

Your previous supposition is indeed roughly correct. We might also note that we, in forming the original images for your peoples, were using the cultural commonplaces of artistic expression of those in Egypt. The face is drawn to the side most often, as are the feet turned. We made use of this and, thus, wish to soften the significance of the side-long look. In no case thus far in these deliberations, however, has any misinterpretation or unsuitable interpretation been drawn.”

In this question Don is asking Ra if the entity in Card Number Seven, the Great Way of the Mind, has the skirt skewed to the left to suggest that the negative adept will separate itself from all those around it. Don also asks if the face of the entity being turned to the left means that negative catalyst will be more easily noticed than positive catalyst. Ra affirms the basic correctness of Don’s assumptions, but notes that they also used the practice of Egyptian artists to draw faces that looked to the side. Thus they asked that we somewhat de-emphasize our interpretation of the sideways glance. Then Ra assured us that up to this point in our questioning concerning the archetypical mind that there had been no misinterpretations of images due to this artistic feature of the Egyptians. In 95.21, Ra first verified that the skirt of the image in Card Number Four, the Experience of the Mind, signified the separation of the negative entity as Ra also said was true of Card Number Seven, the Great Way of the Mind:

Questioner: In Card Four [in the] last session we spoke of the shape of the skirt and it has occurred to us that the skirt of the entity representing the archetype of Experience is extended to the left to indicate that other-selves would not be able to get close to this entity if it had chosen the left-hand path. There would be a greater separation between it and other-selves, whereas if it had chosen the right-hand path there would be much less of a separation. Would Ra comment on that observation?

Ra: I am Ra. The student is perceptive.

In 54.19, Ra gave the basic definition of the negative path:

Questioner: In the case of service-to-self polarization, what type of catalyst would entities following this path program when they reach the level of programming their own catalyst?

Ra: I am Ra. The negatively oriented entity will program for maximal separation from and control over all those things and conscious entities which it perceives as being other than the self.

Ra also seemed to suggest that Don’s assumption that the face of the entity in the Great Way of the Mind being turned left also signified that catalyst appears to be negative as Ra said was true in Card Number Five, The Significator of the Mind, in 97.11:

Questioner: The entity looks to the left, indicating that the mind has the tendency to notice more easily the negative catalyst or negative essence of its environment. Would Ra comment on that observation?

Ra: I am Ra. This is substantially correct.

This morning I completed my first run through of Chapter 7 of 102 and feel that I was able to add some helpful information in a number of places. Then I had a doctor’s appointment at 11:30 which took about two hours to complete, so I was running late for the rest of the day. Before I left for the doctor’s appointment I had found out that my Giant Perennial Hibiscus plants have a case of brown spot which is causing a number of leaves to fall to the ground.

When I got back from the doctor’s appointment I found out that copper fungicide is the best treatment for brown spot, so I went to The Home Depot and got a couple bottles that I will begin using in the early morning as directed. I also had time to use my trimmer to do a little trimming around the two liriope gardens before quitting work for the day.

It Is A New Day!

I am of the spirit of Jesus the Christ. May the perfect love of the Father enfold you this day.

Our great tidings are ever new, as are your minds and your hearts. Whether in life or death, whatever process you are experiencing in the valley of the shadow of death, yet still, despite any condition or process of body or mind, in your soul, in your heart, and in your truth are you new.

Do not carry around with you the great burden of self-perceived error. For you only need to say, “Forgive me.” It is healing to say those words to one with whom you have had a disagreement.

You are healing still to say, “I have judged you wrongly.” For fear and judgment are the causes of humans offering the opportunity for much agony to each other. It is equally important that you say to yourself, “Forgive me. I have judged in error.”

Rejoice! it is a new day! May you feel the love that loves you now, wholly and completely. May you feel the peace that lies in the memory that love is here. And when you drop away from your physical body, there, in spirit, shall love be even more visible.

We leave you in that love and peace, 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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Ra quote comes from 103.14:

“Questioner: The bent left leg of the two sphinxes indicate[s] a transformation that occurs on the left that doesn’t on the right, possibly an inability in that position to move. Does this have any merit?

Ra: I am Ra. The observation has merit in that it may serve as the obverse of the connotation intended. The position is intended to show two items, one of which is the dual possibilities of the time-full characters there drawn.

The resting is possible in time, as is the progress. If a mixture is attempted, the upright, moving leg will be greatly hampered by the leg that is bent. The other meaning has to do with the same right angle, with its architectural squareness, as the device upon the breast of the actor.

Time/space is close in this concept complex, brought close due to the veiling process and its efficaciousness in producing actors who wish to use the resources of the mind in order to evolve.”

There is a black sphinx and a white sphinx, one on each side of the bottom of the chariot in Card Number Seven, the Great Way of the Mind. Don asks if the bent left leg of each sphinx indicates a transformation on the left side that results in an inability to move. Ra suggests that the actual meaning is just the opposite of Don’s interpretation.  Ra says that both resting and movement are possible within the fullness of the time of the incarnation, but if both are attempted at once the bent leg will hamper any movement. This suggests that it is necessary to seek one or the other: rest or movement and perhaps alternate them. Then Ra links the bent arms of the two sphinxes to the two right angles that sit atop of the T on the entity’s chest. These were said to represent the closeness of the space/time nature of the Great Way of the Mind to time/space, or the concept of transformation. Ra says this time/space transformation is brought “close” to the adept because of the presence of the veil of forgetting that takes effort to penetrate on the spiritual journey. The conscious mind must successfully process a great deal of catalyst and make experience out of it during the incarnation. In 103.10-.11, Ra first mentions how the Great Way of the Mind indicates how one may be transformed by moving from space/time into time/space, or the physical world into the metaphysical world:

Questioner: In that case I have a few questions on Card Seven in order to finish off our first run-through of the archetypes of the mind. There is a T with two right angles above it on the chest of the entity in Card Seven. We have guessed that the lower T has to do with the possibility of choosing either path in the transformation and the upper two angles representing the great way of the left or the right-hand path in a mental transformation that makes the change from space/time into time/space, you might say. This is difficult to express. Is there anything correct [chuckle] in this guess?

Ra: I am Ra. Yes.

Questioner: Would Ra comment on that?

Ra: I am Ra. The use of the tau and the architect’s square is indeed intended to suggest the proximity of the space/time of the Great Way’s environment to time/space. We find this observation most perceptive.

The entire mood, shall we say, of the Great Way is indeed dependent upon its notable difference from the Significator. The Significator is the significant self, to a great extent but not entirely influenced by the lowering of the veil.

The Great Way of the Mind, the Body, or the Spirit draws the environment which has been the new architecture caused by the veiling process and, thusly, dipped in the great, limitless current of time/space.

This morning I continued working on Chapter 7 of Living the Law of One 103: The Inner Work. I expanded some on the topics of the systems of Earth like weather, water, and humanity along with the spiritual aspects of global warming. Then I went outside and transplanted the 24 Angelonia flowers where the blue salvia used to be along the parking area in front of the house. I took the 30 blue salvia over to what used to be the hollyhock garden and transplanted them there hoping that they would do better with more sunlight.

This afternoon I went over to Theineman’s Nursery and bought another 12 Angelonia to finish out the area where the blue salvia had been. Then I used the water hose and watering wand to water all the flowers in the front, side, and back yard. It’s been about 10 days since we have had any rain, and there is none in the forecast for the rest of the week. Looks like a week to water flowers coming up.

Do All In Joy

I am of the Holy Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ and I greet you in the full consciousness of divine love.

Throw off the shackles of sleep and sloth and embrace the day! Nothing is in it that cannot be done with joy and rest in the doing, for the Holy Spirit goes before you to prepare the most blessed way and to offer the most creative counsel.

Seek within, in the silence of a peaceful heart, to see what needs to be done and to find the heart and strength to do it gladly, cheerfully and with confidence. There is always enough time for that which is necessary. Release that which is not necessary, for if there is not time there is not necessity, in the situation for which you have wished, on the level of your being which leads you to pastures of peace.

See the moving of the spirit in that which cannot be done as well as that which is done, for though the human mind wishes to do all, yet the spirit guides in the selection of the work of love.

May you go in peace, this day and ever. Amen.

I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:

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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Ra quote comes from 103.13:

“Questioner: I’ll have to think about that one. Unless… I’ll come back to that.

We were thinking of replacing the sword in the right hand with the magical sphere and a downward scepter in the left hand, similar to Card Five, the Significator, as more appropriate for this card. Would Ra comment on that, please?

Ra: I am Ra. This is quite acceptable, especially if the sphere may be imaged as spherical and effulgent.”

In 100.13, Ra mentioned that the sword and scepter that are in the hands of the image in Card Number Seven, the Great Way of the Mind, are astrological in origin and should be removed from the image. So now Don asks Ra if it would be acceptable to place a sphere in the entity’s right hand as a sign of positive polarization and a downward-pointing scepter in its left hand as a sign of negative polarization. Ra agrees with our choice of these images and further recommends that the sphere be truly round and that it shines brightly and radiantly. The sphere, as a symbol of the positive polarization, has been used in three other cards of the Major Arcana beginning with the Matrix of the Mind in 91.19, where Ra suggested the sphere represented the “spiritual nature of the object of the will of one wishing to do magical acts”:

Questioner: Secondly, we have the wand which has been seen as the power of will. Would Ra comment?

Ra: I am Ra. The concept of will is indeed pouring forth from each facet of the image of the Matrix of the Mind. The wand as the will, however, is, shall we say, an astrological derivative of the out-reaching hand forming the, shall we say, magical gesture. The excellent portion of the image which may be seen distinctly as separate from the concept of the wand is that sphere which indicates the spiritual nature of the object of the will of one wishing to do magical acts within the manifestation of your density.

In 93.18, Ra spoke about the sphere signifying spiritual power in the hand of Card Number 3, the Catalyst of the Mind:

Questioner: The third card also shows the wand, I am assuming it is, in the right hand; the ball at the top being the round magical shape. Am I in any way correct in guessing that Catalyst of the Mind suggests possible eventual use of the magic depicted by this wand?

Ra: I am Ra. The wand is astrological in its origin and as an image may be released from its stricture. The sphere of spiritual power is an indication indeed that each opportunity is pregnant with the most extravagant magical possibilities for the far-seeing adept.

And in 96.21, Ra agreed that we could replace the wand in the hand of the figure in Card Number 4, the Experience of the Mind, but they didn’t give us an interpretation of the meaning of the sphere that I would guess would still deal with the spiritual nature of experience:

Questioner: In Card Number Four we will remove the letters around the outside and all of the stars and it seems that again we have a situation of removing the wand and putting the sphere in the hand. Is that correct?

Ra: I am Ra. Again, this is a matter of choice. Though astrological in nature, this particular scepter has possibilities of relevancy in the originally intended concept complex.

Today was another Sabbath Day of Rest, and I enjoyed finishing Chapter 6 of Living the Law of One 102: The Outer Work. Then I printed out a hard copy and began working on Chapter 7 of 102. After lunch I took my regular errand run and stopped first at Walgreen’s to pick up a prescription, a little ice cream, and some paper plates. Then I was off to Theineman’s Nursery where I found two flats of Angelonia which I will use to replace the blue salvia beside the parking area in the front yard as they have not done well with that amount of shade and the Angelonia have. Then I picked up some canned cat food at Feeder’s Supply. In the afternoon I began working on Chapter 6 of 102 and added some material for clarification about how we all can help to heal some of the scars in our Mother Earth that have come from thousands of years of war.

Self-Consciousness

We are of that continuous and lucid vibration which is the love of Jesus the Christ. We greet you in the full consciousness of love.

There is a spirit which comforts all things. Yet this same spirit demands and encourages activity upon the part of each entity. When those of your planet were walking about in deep forest and jungle, clad only in what they could skin and eating as they hunted, they were full of the spirit, these humble and primitive self-conscious beings. Their lives were focused with discipline and intention in order to create the skills needed for survival. So the spirit was to them that which enabled them to walk in harmony with their environment.

You who sit in meditation this morning have developed self-consciousness to a high degree. You too seek comfort, the comfort of the emotions and the comfort of the spirit. And so you have comfort, by asking and expecting it.

Yet remember that it is yours to labor, with a hearty and cheerful heart, to bring into your consciousness that emotional, mental and spiritual food which we have offered you the tools to believe are possible. We are partners and our efforts shine together in transformative harmony.

May peace be yours this day and evermore. 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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Ra quote comes from 103.12:

“Questioner: I am guessing that the wheels on this chariot indicate the ability of the mind to be able now to move in time/space. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. We cannot say that the observation is totally incorrect, for there is as much work in time/space as the individual who evokes this complex of concepts has assimilated.

However, it would be more appropriate to draw the attention to the fact that although the chariot is wheeled, it is not harnessed to that which draws it by a physical or visible harness. What then, O Student, links and harnesses the chariot’s power of movement to the chariot?”

In this question Don is asking if the wheels on the chariot in Card Number Seven indicate that the Great Way of the Mind has produced the mind in third density that can move in time/space, or the spiritual realms, as well as in the third-density illusion. Ra suggested that there might be a small amount of truth in Don’s question by saying that it was not totally incorrect. Ra does grant that the seeker will have worked to some degree in time/space in the processing of catalyst, but the amount is totally dependent upon how much of this work has benefited the seeker. Then Ra suggests that Don make note of the fact that though the chariot has wheels, it is not connected to that which would draw it by any physical harness. Then Ra asks Don what makes the chariot move if it is not harnessed to a physical power source? We never got back to Ra with an answer to that question, but over the years I have always thought that the answer was The Magician in Card Number One as it is attempting to exercise the power of its will as it is potentiated by the subconscious mind, the High Priestess. It would make sense that by the time we get to Card Number Seven that the Magician would have strengthened its will to power the chariot through the third-density illusion in its continuing processing of catalyst into experience. In 78.33, Ra described how the Matrix of the Mind, the Magician is full of the magic of “that which is to come:”

We now address your query as to the archetype which is the Matrix of the Mind. As to its name, the name of Magician is understandable when you consider that consciousness is the great foundation, mystery, and revelation which makes this particular density possible. The self-conscious entity is full of the magic of that which is to come. It may be considered first, for the mind is the first of the complexes to be developed by the student of spiritual evolution.

In 71.15, Ra defines magic in a way that I would think pertains to the Matrix of the Mind, or Magician, in a very direct way:

Questioner: Could you please comment on the accuracy of this statement? I’m going to generally talk about the concept of magic and first define it as the ability to create changes in consciousness at will. Is this an acceptable definition?

Ra: I am Ra. This definition is acceptable in that it places upon the adept the burden it shall bear. It may be better understood by referring back to an earlier query, in your measurement, within this working having to do with the unmanifested self. In magic one is working with one’s unmanifested self in body, in mind, and in spirit; the mixture depending upon the nature of the working.

These workings are facilitated by the enhancement of the activation of the indigo-ray energy center. The indigo-ray energy center is fed, as are all energy centers, by experience but far more than the others is fed by what we have called the disciplines of the personality.

And in 91.19, Ra said that the power of the will is “indeed pouring forth from each facet of the image of the Matrix of the Mind:

Questioner: Secondly, we have the wand which has been seen as the power of will. Would Ra comment?

Ra: I am Ra. The concept of will is indeed pouring forth from each facet of the image of the Matrix of the Mind. The wand as the will, however, is, shall we say, an astrological derivative of the out-reaching hand forming the, shall we say, magical gesture. The excellent portion of the image which may be seen distinctly as separate from the concept of the wand is that sphere which indicates the spiritual nature of the object of the will of one wishing to do magical acts within the manifestation of your density.

So I am guessing that as the Magician, continues to utilize its power of will it could power the Chariot of the Great Way of the Mind and would not need to have the Chariot harnessed to any other power source.

The first work of this morning was to go back over Chapter 6 of 102 as the edits I made yesterday apparently were not saved. I was able to remember my edits and even added an additional thought or two. Later this morning I was able to have a zoom meet with Gary, Austin, and Trish that was hosted by Jochen Blumenthal in Berlin. Jochen had questions of me concerning my current activities and what I saw as the future of L/L Research. Others in his group also had a wide range of questions for me and Jochen was the interpreter of my answers as many in his group did not speak English.

This afternoon Dianne S. accompanied me to visit Connie M., Carla’s and our dear friend in a care home in southern Indiana due to two strokes that she had three years ago. We talked together about what was happening in our lives, and I read to Connie from Archangels and Ascended Masters by Doreen Virtue.

Judgment

I am of the principle of perfect love and I greet you in that principle of perfect love which is the essence and being of Jesus the Christ.

This instrument has allowed the mind to become most clouded with judgment this day, not of the self but of others. It is a condition which leads to death and exhaustion of the emotions and spirit and which leaves the physical body a walking grave.

The spirit of love does not contain judgment. Rather than disciplining in the face of difficult opinion, it attempts to expand the object of judgment and the mind of the judger until all may be seen to be the outworking of natural processes.

Remember that each entity struggles to find the spirit of love and most are faulty in their pursuit of that great pearl.

Remember that nothing is as it seems to be and that love is expressed in many distorted ways. Release judgment, asking for the spirit to fill the mind with an expanded vision and a more tolerant view. For so Christ’s love would have love between all peoples as a direct corollary and manifestation of perfect love.

We leave you in peace, 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.

I would like to remind everyone that we are holding our Meditation for World Peace again tomorrow morning at 11 am Eastern Time. We will meditate for ten minutes and send love, light, and healing energies to the people of Ukraine and Russia.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Ra quote comes from 103.10-.11:

“Questioner: In that case I have a few questions on Card Seven in order to finish off our first run-through of the archetypes of the mind. There is a T with two right angles above it on the chest of the entity in Card Seven. We have guessed that the lower T has to do with the possibility of choosing either path in the transformation and the upper two angles representing the great way of the left or the right-hand path in a mental transformation that makes the change from space/time into time/space, you might say. This is difficult to express. Is there anything correct [chuckle] in this guess?

Ra: I am Ra. Yes.

Questioner: Would Ra comment on that?

Ra: I am Ra. The use of the tau and the architect’s square is indeed intended to suggest the proximity of the space/time of the Great Way’s environment to time/space. We find this observation most perceptive.

The entire mood, shall we say, of the Great Way is indeed dependent upon its notable difference from the Significator. The Significator is the significant self, to a great extent but not entirely influenced by the lowering of the veil.

The Great Way of the Mind, the Body, or the Spirit draws the environment which has been the new architecture caused by the veiling process and, thusly, dipped in the great, limitless current of time/space.”

In Card Number Seven, the Great Way of the Mind, Don is asking Ra about the symbol on the entity’s chest that looks like a capital T with two right angles on top of it. We guessed that the T stood for transformation and the two right angles for this transformation occurring either upon the right or the left-hand path. Ra calls this T the “tau,” and the two right angles are two architect’s squares. This image describes transformation—change from the space/time environment to that of time/space, the magic of the spirit world. Ra further stated that the Significator of the Mind has been changed somewhat by the lowering of the veil. However the Great Way of the Mind creates the “environment” or “new architecture caused by the veiling process” which is “dipped in the great, limitless current of time/space.” In 79.41, Ra once again suggests that the Great Way of the Mind creates or “conceives” the environment through which the Chariot or Conqueror—which are other names for the Great Way of the Mind—moves:

Questioner: Would the Conqueror or Chariot then represent the culmination of the action of the first six archetypes into a conquering of the mental processes, even possibly removing the veil?

Ra: I am Ra. This is most perceptive. The Archetype Seven is one difficult to enunciate. We may call it the Path, the Way, or the Great Way of the Mind. Its foundation is a reflection and substantial summary of Archetypes One through Six.

One may also see the Way of the Mind as showing the kingdom or fruits of appropriate travel through the mind in that the mind continues to move as majestically through the material it conceives of as a chariot drawn by royal lions or steeds.

In 92.17, Ra once again confirms that the Great Way of the Mind creates the environment through which the archetypes of Mind, Body, or Spirit move:

While studying the archetypical mind we may suggest that the student look at the Great Way of the Mind, not as that which is attained after contact with intelligent infinity, but rather as that portion of the archetypical mind which denotes and configures the particular framework within which the Mind, the Body, or the Spirit archetypes move.

This morning I finished Chapter 7 of 102 and got a hard copy printed out. I also worked on Chapter 6 of 102, and I found a couple areas that needed some further elaboration. Much of the elaboration that I am able to do in 102 come from editing comments that Diana made about a year ago, and I certainly appreciate her suggestions as they give me suggestions on how to make the book better.

This afternoon I used the hose and watering wand to water the front, side, and back yards. I am hoping that the forecast for rain this weekend is accurate as no one waters plants better than Mother Nature. I also trimmed back all of the gladiolus at the two flower mounds in the front yard. Then I vacuumed the first floor of the house which I am now only doing every two weeks since I am alone on the first floor of the house now that Dan D. Lion and Chloe are gone.

Contentment

I am the principle of that force behind creation, the love of Jesus the Christ. I greet you in the full consciousness which is the consciousness of love.

This instrument is not prepared for what we are to say this morning. For this instrument thought we were speaking upon the subject of contentment. No matter how active the mind of mankind, the spirit is ever more active in its capacity to surprise, for we speak of a higher contentment, the contentment of vulnerability and seeming lack; the contentment of babes unclothed and people hungry; the contentment that becomes a fire within to clothe the naked and feed the hungry; that contentment which makes all creatures children of a meaningful and life-giving God and all God’s creatures meaningful and life-giving people.

Look in contentment at the world of strife and need and respond with a full heart, praying ever the invitation to the spirit of the living Christ to enter into every seeming lack, in meditation, and multiply plenty. Your consciousness is a gift and a responsibility. May you be content to love others as you love yourself.

We leave you in the growing peace of the realization of infinite love, now and ever. 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.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Ra quote comes from 103.7-.9:

“Questioner: Can Ra recommend anything that the instrument can do, or that we can do, to improve any of the energies of the instrument?

Ra: I am Ra. This is previously covered material. We have outlined the path the instrument may take in thought.

Questioner: I didn’t mean to cover previously covered material. I meant to add any of this to specifically focus on at this time, the best possible thing that we or the instrument could do to improve these energies, the salient activity.

Ra: I am Ra. Before responding we ask your vigilance during pain flares as the channel is acceptable but is being distorted periodically by the severe physical distortions of the yellow-ray, chemical body of the instrument.

Those salient items for the support group are praise and thanksgiving in harmony. These the group has accomplished with such a degree of acceptability that we cavil not at the harmony of the group.

As to the instrument, the journey from worth in action to worth in esse is arduous. The entity has denied itself in order to be free from that which it calls addiction. This sort of martyrdom, and here we speak of the small but symbolically great sacrifice of the clothing, causes the entity to frame a selfhood in poorness which feeds unworthiness unless the poverty is seen to be true richness. In other words, good works for the wrong reasons cause confusion and distortion. We encourage the instrument to value itself and to see that its true requirements are valued by the self. We suggest contemplation of true richness of being.

Questioner: Is there anything else that either we or the instrument can do that would specifically work on the vital energy to increase it of the instrument?

Ra: I am Ra. We have come up against the full stop of free will.”

In the first question Don asked Ra how we could improve Carla’s energy, and Ra responded by saying that they had already answered this question. In 102.2, Ra gave the general outline of Carla’s problem and its solution:

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 toward 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 function, especially that linked 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.

Carla was having these yellow-ray blockage problems that manifested in her G.I. tract because I had asked her for an open relationship, and she was briefly upset but was able to return to harmony quickly. However, our negative friend used this target of opportunity to intensify Carla’s pain. In 102.11, Ra gave the basic principle of healing that applied to Carla’s situation:

Questioner: Now, is there— the two areas then that the instrument can look to for curing this problem… I understand that the yellow-ray blockage problem has 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.

In his second question Don asked Ra to give any further information on what we could do to aid Carla. Then Ra gave an analogy of how Carla’s indigo-ray blockage of feeling unworthy had manifested in her becoming a martyr when she decided to give up buying clothes for a year because she viewed it as an addiction. Ra noted that it was a long journey to find this feeling of self worth and they completed their response by saying, “We encourage the instrument to value itself and to see that its true requirements are valued by the self. We suggest contemplation of true richness of being.” I believe that the Self that Ra refers to here should be capitalized as it is very likely the higher self or even the Creator within. In 103.5, Ra recommended how Carla could remove the indigo-ray blockage of lack of self worth:

Questioner: Could Ra recommend work appropriate for removing indigo-ray blockage?

Ra: I am Ra. We cannot recommend for the general situation for in each case the distortional vortex is unique. In this particular nexus, the more appropriate working is in the mental and mental/emotional powers of analysis and observation. When the strongest and least distorted complex is set in support, then the less strong portions of the complex shall be strengthened. This entity has long worked with this catalyst. However, this is the first occasion wherein the drugs to dull the pain that sharpens the catalyst have been refused.

What I believe that Ra was suggesting was that Carla use her “mental and mental/emotional powers of analysis and observation”. I believe that Ra is suggesting that Carla take an objective look at her situation from a mental position and from an emotional position. Her mental powers of analysis might reveal to her how maintaining a state of unity was the best path to follow rather than the hurt emotional feelings she first felt when I asked for an open relationship. Then Ra continued their answer by saying that “When the strongest and least distorted complex is set in support, then the less strong portions of the complex shall be strengthened.” Here I believe that Ra was saying that if Carla focused on her strength of mental analysis in this situation then her weaker feeling of emotional pain would be strengthened. Ra completed their answer by saying that Carla had worked for a long time in her life with the feeling of being unworthy, and now that she had refused to take the drugs that would dull the pain she would need to work with this enhanced catalyst.

In his third question Don asked if there was anything else that we or Carla could do to aid her situation, and Ra simply said that they had given all the information that they could without infringing on our free will.

This morning I was on a two hour zoom meet with two long-time friends, and we spent a good deal of time catching up on what has happened since our last meeting three weeks ago. Then we read some from Living Buddha, Living Christ, by Tich Nhat Hanh and also The Ra Contact: Teaching the Law of One.

This afternoon I did my grocery shopping at Kroger’s and at Paul’s Fruit Market. Then I went back to The Home Depot and bought another six cone flowers which I transplanted in the ruins mound. The cone flowers come in yellow, lavender, orange, red, and white, so they are very attractive when seen together. My last job was to move two of the solar-powered lanterns in Dana’s Crystal Corner to get them more evenly spaced in the triangular shape that the form. The peak of the triangle is about 20 feet in the air and the base of the pyramid is about 50 feet wide, so it makes a very impressive image of glowing lights at night,

Contentment

I am the principle of that force behind creation, the love of Jesus the Christ. I greet you in the full consciousness which is the consciousness of love.

This instrument is not prepared for what we are to say this morning. For this instrument thought we were speaking upon the subject of contentment. No matter how active the mind of mankind, the spirit is ever more active in its capacity to surprise, for we speak of a higher contentment, the contentment of vulnerability and seeming lack; the contentment of babes unclothed and people hungry; the contentment that becomes a fire within to clothe the naked and feed the hungry; that contentment which makes all creatures children of a meaningful and life-giving God and all God’s creatures meaningful and life-giving people.

May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energies in their hearts, in their minds, and in their souls. Amen.

I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Ra quote comes from 103.4-.5:

“Questioner: The instrument asks the question why she lost her joy in the recent past? Would Ra comment, please?

Ra: I am Ra. The instrument made a free-will decision not to address the physical catalyst causing great pain by means of the allopathically prescribed chemical compound which the instrument was sure would be efficacious due to its reliance upon the suggestions of Ra. Thus the catalyst was given in a more complete form. The outer service to others became nearly impossible, causing the entity to experience once again the choice of the martyr; that is, to put value in a fatal action and die or to put value on consciousness of the creation and of the One Creator and, thereby, live. The instrument, through will, chose the latter path. However, the mind and mental/emotional distortions did not give the support to this decision necessary to maintain a state of unity which this entity normally experiences and has experienced since its incarnation’s beginnings.

Since this catalyst has been accepted, the work begun to remove distortions blocking the indigo ray might well be continued apace.

Questioner: Could Ra recommend work appropriate for removing indigo-ray blockage?

Ra: I am Ra. We cannot recommend for the general situation for in each case the distortional vortex is unique. In this particular nexus, the more appropriate working is in the mental and mental/emotional powers of analysis and observation. When the strongest and least distorted complex is set in support, then the less strong portions of the complex shall be strengthened. This entity has long worked with this catalyst. However, this is the first occasion wherein the drugs to dull the pain that sharpens the catalyst have been refused.”

In the first question Don asked Ra why Carla felt that she had lost her joy in the previous few weeks. Ra said that Carla had made a decision not to use the drugs Ra had suggested to treat the great cramping pain that she had in the area of her stomach and digestive tract that Ra described as acidic and which was causing ulcers in that region. Ra had earlier described this situation as relating to the yellow-ray energy center which manifested as pain and cramping because Carla had momentarily become upset with me when I asked for an open relationship. She was able to heal the feeling of being upset fairly quickly, but it provided a target of target of opportunity for our negative friend to intensify the pain and suffering for Carla. This pain made it nearly impossible for her to be of service to others, and this caused her to lose her joy. If she had not healed the feeling of being upset with me when I asked for an open relationship she would have been “putting value on a fatal action” which could have caused her death. Instead she healed the feeling of being upset and “put value on consciousness of the creation and of the One Creator and, thereby, live.” However, Ra suggested that Carla had not given enough mental and emotional support to this decision, so she was not able to maintain the state of unity that was normal for her. Ra completed their answer by saying that now it was up to Carla to use the full impact of the catalyst I provided for her by seeking to remove the blockage of the indigo ray. Incidentally, I never had any other relationships besides with Carla for 34 years. Ra had previously mentioned this blockage as Carla’s feeling of unworthiness as Ra detailed in 12.31:

Questioner: Is there a best way for these entities to heal themselves of their physical ailments?

Ra: I am Ra. This will be the last complete question of this time/space.

The self-healing distortion is effected through realization of the intelligent infinity resting within. This is blocked in some way in those who are not perfectly balanced in bodily complexes. The blockage varies from entity to entity. It requires the conscious awareness of the spiritual nature of reality, if you will, and the corresponding pourings of this reality into the individual mind/body/spirit complex for healing to take place.

We will use this instrument as example. The portions of its ailment, as you call this distortion complex, that can be perfected in balance are due primarily to a blockage of the indigo-ray or pineal energy center. This center receives the intelligent energy from all sources lawful within the one Creation; that is, lawful in this third-density distortion or illusion. If there is no blockage, these energies pour or stream down into the mind/body/spirit complex perfecting moment by moment the individual’s body complex.

This instrument also experiences some distortion of the green-ray energy center which you may call the heart center. It is overly open due to an intensive desire distortion on the part of this mind/body/spirit complex towards service to others, or as you may call it, universal love. This entity, therefore, spends itself without regard to its reserves of mind/body/spirit complex distortion in regard to what you call strength or energy. This distortion is primarily due to the blockage of the indigo ray. As we have said before, the misapprehension distortion of the instrument responsible for this blockage is the basic orientation towards a belief in unworthiness. The unworthiness distortion blocks the free flow of intelligent energy.

In the second question Don asked Ra if they could recommend a way in which Carla could remove her indigo-ray blockage. Ra recommended that Carla use her “mental and mental/emotional powers of analysis and observation”. I believe that Ra is suggesting that Carla take an objective look at her situation from a mental position and from an emotional position. Her mental powers of analysis might reveal to her how maintaining a state of unity was the best path to follow rather than the hurt emotional feelings she first felt when I asked for an open relationship. Then Ra continued their answer by saying that “When the strongest and least distorted complex is set in support, then the less strong portions of the complex shall be strengthened.” Here I believe that Ra was saying that if Carla focused on her strength of mental analysis in this situation then her weaker feeling of emotional pain would be strengthened. Ra completed their answer by saying that Carla had worked for a long time in her life with the feeling of being unworthy, and now that she had refused to take the drugs that would dull the pain she would need to work with this enhanced catalyst. A couple of questions later, in 103.8, Don asked again what Carla could do to improve her situation, and Ra linked her present feeling of unworthiness to Carla’s recent decision to give up buying clothes for herself as she felt it was an addiction to love clothes so much:

Questioner: I didn’t mean to cover previously covered material. I meant to add any of this to specifically focus on at this time, the best possible thing that we or the instrument could do to improve these energies, the salient activity.

Ra: I am Ra. Before responding we ask your vigilance during pain flares as the channel is acceptable but is being distorted periodically by the severe physical distortions of the yellow-ray, chemical body of the instrument.

Those salient items for the support group are praise and thanksgiving in harmony. These the group has accomplished with such a degree of acceptability that we cavil not at the harmony of the group.

As to the instrument, the journey from worth in action to worth in esse is arduous. The entity has denied itself in order to be free from that which it calls addiction. This sort of martyrdom, and here we speak of the small but symbolically great sacrifice of the clothing, causes the entity to frame a selfhood in poorness which feeds unworthiness unless the poverty is seen to be true richness. In other words, good works for the wrong reasons cause confusion and distortion. We encourage the instrument to value itself and to see that its true requirements are valued by the self. We suggest contemplation of true richness of being.

This morning I worked on Chapter 5 of Living the Law of One 102: The Outer Work. It was a short chapter about how we apply our spiritual principles in the work place. I finished my first run through and feel that I was able to add a few thoughts that enhanced the nature of work for the seeker of truth. Then I went outside and watered most of the flowers in the back yard as it has been about a week since our last rain.

This afternoon I went back to Dana’s Crystal corner where I placed 8 more solar-powered lanterns yesterday afternoon. Last night I took a picture of the area and it showed that there were too many new lanterns and old lanterns that I didn’t know still worked located in one area. So this afternoon I spread them out so that they are more evenly spaced. I will go back out tonight and see if they are more clearly in a pyramid shape. Then I went up to The Home Depot and bought a tray for an asparagus plant that I hope to give away and also bought six cone flowers that I planted in my Ruins Mound were I already had a few cone flowers.

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

August 17

Come, Holy Spirit

I am of the spirit of Jesus the Christ and I greet you in the full consciousness of creative love.

Your generation shall pass away, just as this morning shall pass away into evening and all the works of your hands and the thoughts of your minds shall seem as shadows.

Gazing at one’s day and one’s life in terms of the losses involved is a logical and understandable method of dealing with the accidents of experience. Yet in each cell of your body lies a consciousness of love, joy and peace, a consciousness which can speak only mutely and only when asked for.

It is the consciousness of the Holy Spirit, as you would call us, for we are closer to you than you can imagine and instantaneously ready to flood the consciousness with comfort and healing. You have but to ask, truly wishing to release the sense of loss that experience sometimes brings; truly being willing to yield your sorrows, let go of bitterness and forgive iniquity.

This instrument’s favorite musician, Johann Sebastian Bach, has expressed the musical thought, “Komm Heilige Geist.” This simple prayer, “Come, Holy Spirit,” is that which opens the door to that peace in which we leave you now and ever; the perfect peace that lies forever beyond the understanding but is more real than any loss. 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.
