Thanks to our friend Terry Hsu, we realized yesterday that this year marks the 40th year of Carla's channeling!
For all intents and purposes the archives begin in the year 1974. Prior to that point only three transcripts are available on the site. From '74 forward, Don felt the channeling was sufficiently worthy (thanks to Carla serving as instrument) to retain the cassettes.
Almost forty years of channeling. An extraordinary record of dedicated, matchless service, Carla. A big hip hip hooray to you!! How your service has transformed the lives of spiritual seekers who crossed paths with the information that you were, shall we say, so instrumental in bringing into the world.
When asked, Carla wasn't sure on what day she first received contact from Confederation sources, only that it was in the afternoon. We went hunting for the very first transcript featuring Carla in the archives. The first instance we could locate of Carla in the archive was from a report she gave on March 5, 1974:

And in the search we came upon the following gem from April 15, 1974. Seems that even from the beginning Carla could clothe the Confederation concepts in eloquence and convey them with clarity.

"We would like you to consider, my friends, an island in an ocean channel far out at sea. There is no land in sight and this small rock, washed by waves, bleached by the sun with small flora and fauna growing upon it, looks out upon the world, and its limited consciousness attempts to grasp the reality as it eddies and swirls about it. The little island detects many strange things as they enter its purvey. It lives through differences in climate and feeling and mood. It experiences the seasons of its flora and its fauna and it attempts to piece together a reasonable and holistic view of its reality.
It is fixed in position, my friends, a poor small rock. The far limits, wherefrom come the waves, and the far limits to which they return, will be forever unknown to the island. The island can never know or fully understand that which appears at [its] doorstep, so to speak.
This, my friends, is a very rough and perhaps shallow example of the type of instrument the intellect is. The intellect upon your planet is very useful within the imagery for which it was made. But the attempt, my friends, to use the intellect to understand the far limits of your origin or the far limits of where you shall return again is impossible. For in the image, which your intellect works upon, you are a rock [chained] to one (inaudible). This is not reality, nor can your intellect give you a picture of reality. Rather, my friends, in meditation seek to be the water. Seek the consciousness, the oneness, the unity, and the adventure of water. All water is inseparable. There is no separation: it flows, it is as one. And each wave that breaks upon this shore may have broken anywhere and may move to another. Let your consciousness flow like the water-not like an island-inwardly."
