Ra Material, Book I, pg. 43 Wrote:In the most interesting case in which I took part, the healer was told that I had arthritis. He scanned my body with the help of his assistant. Then he opened the abdominal cavity and with a very liquid sounding action pulled gently, but firmly, at what seemed to be organs rather than joints. It was not unpleasant but, to me, the patient, it was puzzling, as I had no arthritis in my organs. He then removed what seemed to be three rather small, long pieces of bloody material at the center of which was a small piece of hard material.

This done, he removed his left hand. The “incision” vanished without a scar or trace of any kind. The two men, in this case, mopped up what had become a fairly considerable amount of blood, rinsed their hands, and then took baby oil and worked it over the abdominal skin, massaging in silence.

When I asked what the healer was doing working in the abdominal area the interpreter relayed my request, and relayed back the information that the scanning had produced the knowledge of three cysts upon my right ovary, and the misplacement or dropping of both ovaries which had occurred through years of very active life. The pulling had been to reposition the ovaries so that I would not be in discomfort during menstruation. The removal of the cysts had had the same purpose.

Although my gynecologist had diagnosed these three small cysts when I was a very young woman, I had never spoken of them to Don Elkins and, indeed, to no one, since such conversation is not fascinating. One other person knew of these cysts, my mother, but she was 12,000 miles away.

Quote:66.13 Questioner: I have observed many activities known as psychic surgery in the area of the Philippine Islands. It was my assumption that these healers are providing what I would call a training aid or a way of creating a reconfiguration of the mind of the patient to be healed as the relatively naive patient observes the action of the healer in seeing the materialized blood, etc. and reconfigures the roots of mind to believe, you might say, the healing is done and, therefore, heals himself. Is this analysis that I have made correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. We may speak slightly further on the type of opportunity.

There are times when the malcondition to be altered is without emotional, mental, or spiritual interest to the entity and is merely that which has, perhaps by chance genetic arrangement, occurred. In these cases that which is apparently dematerialized will remain dematerialized and may be observed as so by any observer. The malcondition which has an emotional, mental, or spiritual charge is likely not to remain dematerialized in the sense of the showing of the objective referent to an observer. However, if the opportunity has been taken by the seeker the apparent malcondition of the physical complex will be at variance with the actual health, as you call this distortion, of the seeker and the lack of experiencing the distortions which the objective referent would suggest still held sway.

For instance, in this instrument the removal of three small cysts was the removal of material having no interest to the entity. Thus these growths remained dematerialized after the so-called psychic surgery experience. In other psychic surgery the kidneys of this instrument were carefully offered a new configuration of being-ness which the entity embraced. However, this particular portion of the mind/body/spirit complex carried a great deal of emotional, mental, and spiritual charge due to this distorted functioning being the cause of great illness in a certain configuration of events which culminated in this entity’s conscious decision to be of service. Therefore, any objective scanning of this entity’s renal complex would indicate the rather extreme dysfunctional aspect which it showed previous to the psychic surgery experience, as you call it.

The key is not in the continuation of the dematerialization of distortion to the eye of the beholder but rather lies in the choosing of the newly materialized configuration which exists in time/space

Upon returning to the United States I had my gynecologist examine the
area and he confirmed that the three cysts were no longer palpable. They
have remained gone, and the comfort level of my menstrual cycle is
correspondingly far better.

Actually these 2 anomalies are usually enough for me to debunk a subject and move on to further research but everything else is so strong that I feel the Law of One really hard to just throw away... if anyone else can help further the input on these 2 anomalies I would greatly appreciate it.

I finished reading the first book and on the verge of re-reading it. I feel quite good about the information but there are 2 things I am not too sure of relating to the Law of One.

1) Psychic surgery: All evidence I found seems fraudulent and I do not believe this is real. I have a bad feeling about this.

2) Uri Geller: All evidence I found points to him being a magician and not a psychic. I have a really bad feeling when watching him perform. I do not believe he is a real psychic.

As much as I resonate with the Law of One, their support for these 2 subjects are bothersome to me.

How do you guys feel about this?

Thanks

I am always very open minded and researched at the fringe but these 2 things just nagged me a bit and I felt like expressing it. Its not that I don't believe in these 2 things fully but more like they are harder to believe even at my current state of awareness.

By the way, if anyone has not seen the interview of Don Elkins and Carla Rueckert, I would suggest seeing it. It is on youtube.

On the video Carla claims to have had a psychic surgery with a kidney transplant. This would imply that she had 2 psychic surgeries. One with her ovaries and another with kidneys. BUT in both cases it was said to heal her arthritis! How can this be?

Can someone also give thoughts on Uri Geller? In the video Don strongly supported him. I am not sure and don't remember if this was mentioned in the book. Uri Geller to me is definitely not a psychic based on my interpretation of all the evidence available on youtube.

I also believe that anything is possible but I also believe there are people out there that would take advantage of that.

Nevertheless, she felt extreme pain during the procedure and afterward had symptomatic relieve that lasted for years.

Prior to the surgery, the group gathered at Pachita's house to meet her and discuss how the process would work. Don said, "I hope that Pachita will work on Carla to give her relief from arthritis." Pachita asked Carla to stand in front of her and said (translated), "The problem is with her kidneys, and I will be able to fix them," or something like that. Maybe she actually said "and I will do a transplant."

After that first visit, Carla said that she knew her kidneys were a little messed up, but didn't connect them with the arthritis. At this point, everybody was acting and feeling very open and non-judgmental. Recall that Don said investigation into these things requires complete gullibility until after the fact and only then to analyze the data.

Dr. Puharich had seen Pachita work before, but none of the rest of us had. He provided the video equipment that I operated. The camera was monochromatic and extremely light sensitive because Andrija knew that she worked in very low light. Before knowing about her, he had spent considerable effort studying Arigo, a healer in Brazil. There's a book about that called, Arigo, Surgeon of the Rusty Knife by John G. Fuller. It's a very good read.

Puharich himself wrote a book called Uri, another good read. Don and Carla contacted him after reading it, and they became friends. Don also spent some time with Uri. He recounted the time that he, Don, was piloting a small plane and the instrument called the artificial horizon failed. One pilot would tell another, "that's when the horizon went out." This isn't a serious problem for most pilots most of the time, but it is very useful. He was surprised when the instrument began working again because it's expensive and very mechanical with gyroscopes and, when it fails, it stays failed. Don mentioned the incident and Uri excitedly jumped up and looked for a piece of paper. On it he had written, "Horizon is out." He didn't know what that meant, but he felt the same sensation that he gets when he psychically fixes something, so he wrote it down.
