I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Ra quote comes from 88.6:
“Questioner: The instrument mentioned a recurrence of the need for going to the bathroom prior to this session. Is this because of the low vital energy?
Ra: I am Ra. It is part of the cause of the lowered vital energy level. This entity has been sustaining a level of the distortion you call pain which few among your peoples experience without significant draining of the energies. Indeed, the stability of the entity is notable. However, the entity has thusly become drained and, further, has felt other distortions such as those for a variety of experiences accentuated, for this is one means of balancing the inward-looking experience of the physical pain.
Due to concern for this entity such activities have been discouraged. This has further drained the entity.
The will to be of service to the Creator through the means of offering itself as instrument in these workings, therefore, was given an opportunity for the testing of resolve. This entity used some vital energy to fuel and replenish the will. No physical energy has been used by the instrument, but the vital energies were tapped so that this entity might have the opportunity to once again consciously choose to serve the One Infinite Creator.”
Often Carla would need to urinate more than normal before the session with Ra. In this question Don discovers from Ra that not only was Carla’s low vital energy partially responsible for this, but that the continual experience of physical pain was also a contributing factor. In 63.4, Ra noted that Carla’s need to urinate more than usual was also due to the material in Carla’s body that they used for contact:
Questioner: Is the necessity for the instrument to go to the bathroom several times before a session due to the psychic attack?
Ra: I am Ra. In general this is incorrect. The instrument is eliminating from the body complex the distortion leavings of the material which we use for contact. This occurs variably, sometimes beginning before contact, other workings this occurring after the contact.
In this particular working, this entity is experiencing the aforementioned difficulties causing the intensification of that particular distortion/condition.
Ra noted how Carla was able to sustain much more pain than most people experience without a serious draining of energies. It is very tiring to always be in pain, but, as Ra noted, Carla was able to remain stable in spite of this constant level of arthritically caused pain which was frequently intensified by psychic greetings. I would add that she was also able to maintain a happy heart for her whole life in spite of the constant companion of pain. In 70.3-4, Ra described how psychic greetings intensified Carla’s pain:
Questioner: The instrument has complained of intensive psychic attack for the past diurnal period, approximately. Is there a reason for the intensification of this at this time?
Ra: I am Ra. Yes.
Questioner: Can you tell me what this reason is, please?
Ra: I am Ra. The cause is that with which you are intimately involved; that is, the cause is the intensive seeking for what you may call enlightenment. This seeking upon your parts has not abated but intensified.
In the general case, pain—as you call this distortion, and the various exaggerations of this distortion by psychic attack—would, after the depletion of physical complex energy, begin the depletion of vital energy.
This instrument guards its vital energy due to previous errors upon its part. Its subconscious will, which is preternaturally strong for this density, has put a ward upon this energy complex. Thus the Orion visitor strives with more and more intensity to disturb this vital energy as this group intensifies its dedication to service through enlightenment.
Don and I were concerned about the level of pain that Carla experienced, and we attempted to reduce the pain by reducing her activities. However, keeping her from visiting friends, or going to choir rehearsal, or keeping her from going out to eat also cause some loss of vital energy that could have been gained if she had been allowed to do these kinds of things that made her happy. It was hard to know how best to help her. And the level of pain also challenged her desire to serve the Creator by functioning as the instrument for the Ra contact. However, she never hesitated for a moment in constantly choosing to serve in this capacity, but this choice also meant that she would have to use her will to generate the physical energy to continue in this service. This choice also cost her some vital energies. I have never seen a stronger will to be of service than Carla’s, and in this regard she is my constant inspiration. In 67.21, Ra gave an overview of this situation:
Questioner: Then we experience in this seeming difficulty the, what I would call, effect of the wisdom of the First Distortion, and for that reason must fully accept the wisdom of that which we experience. This is my personal view. Is it congruent with Ra’s?
Ra: I am Ra. In our view we would perhaps go further in expressing appreciation of this opportunity. This is an intensive opportunity in that it is quite markèd in its effects, both actual and potential, and as it affects the instrument’s distortions towards pain and other difficulties, such as the dizziness, it enables the instrument to continuously choose to serve others and to serve the Creator.
Similarly it offers a continual opportunity for each in the group to express support under more distorted, or difficult, circumstances of the other-self experiencing the brunt, shall we say, of this attack, thus being able to demonstrate the love and light of the Infinite Creator; and, furthermore, choosing working by working to continue to serve as messengers for this information which we attempt to offer and to serve the Creator thereby.
Thus the opportunities are quite noticeable as well as the distortions caused by this circumstance.
This afternoon I went back to the Star View Nursery about half an hour’s drive from here. I bought 6 butterfly bushes and 8 more ever-blooming azaleas, plus more fertilizer and deer repellent. When I got home I planted four of the butterfly bushes next to the fish pond where butterfly bushes from last fall’s planting didn’t survive the winter. I planted the other two butterfly bushes in front of the fish pond along with two nandina bushes that my next door neighbors gave me. Then I put the azaleas in the locations around the cross area in the back yard where I planted the azaleas that I bought Saturday. I will probably plant them in a day or two as I have another project that I want to do tomorrow.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
April 19
Be Still And Adore
I am of the consciousness of Jesus the Christ and I greet you in that full consciousness of love.
Be still!
Be still, each soul which seeks within and without for that stranger that you would identify as mystery.
Be still, each portal of sense and every shadow of pleasure and pain.
Be still! Let all come to rest, to kneel and adore. Let the self become a zero; a heavenly nothing. For only in the zero lies the infinity which then may fill the infinite space within which has been opened to the infinity without.
It is not by striving but by still surrender that the pilgrim of Earth shall know the place where he has been all the time.
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.
