Understanding Carla's challenge in the name of Christ

[Tenet Nosce]

Hello, I have read much Law of One material from LLResearch and David Wilcock in the past couple of years. I am still learning, but am now ready to join the discussion.

I want to find out if I understand something correctly about Carla Rueckert's channeling practice. If this is already covered, I'd welcome guidance about how to find the answers. Here is what I understand so far:

Carla has described that when she became willing to be a channel, she did not know ahead of time that she would become the channel for Ra. Many entities were eager to use her to communicate their message.

She had to come up with a way to decide which entities she would work with. Her decision was to ask herself what was the most powerful spiritual force she knew of, what was so valuable to her that it it worth living and dying for.

For her, as a mystical Christian, this meant the unconditional love of Christ as she understood it, as demonstrated by, but not exclusive to, the life of Jesus. She challenged each entity that wanted to use her as a channel, three times, if they were compatible with this highest spiritual force for good. If the entity did not affirm this unconditional love of the Christ consciousness, she refused to channel them.

The Ra contact passed her challenge, so she allowed herself to become Ra's channel of communication.

Is this much correct as far as it goes? Am I on track or not?

Hello, Questioner! Welcome to the forum!

I have pondered many of the same ideas myself. What a coincidence that you had written about it here in times past!

I am currently discussing these ideas in:

An appreciation of 'Outlier' Don Elkins
Earth Changes (Shifting)
More Positive but Less Harvestable
1984.04.15 First Hatonn Contact After Ra
2011.04.02 - Siddhartha Buddha
Guardians of the quarantine doesnt seem infallible

Hi Questioner! Welcome to Bring4th!

That's correct according to my understanding.

I think you are exactly right that this challenge worked well for Carla because of her Christian foundation. Had she been, say, Hindu, her challenge might have been in the name of Krishna, for example. Had she been, say, Native American, perhaps she might have challenged Ra in the name of the Great Spirit...

That is interesting. Do you suppose the transmission would have been received any differently, had another challenge been used?

Sometimes Don's questions went astray from Ra's desire to communicate balanced, universal truths and principles. This was more common at the earlier sessions, when Don didn't yet realize what Ra wanted to talk about. If Don's questions or opinions for Ra were too far off, the contact was temporarily lost, and a less evolved, less balanced, less positive spiritual force took over using Carla as instrument. Either junk content came through, or Ra's message was hidden under distortions.

At these times, negative, selfish, unrealistic or useless information was provided. In addition, the physical rigors of the channeling experience increased for Carla, both during and between session.

The picture that comes to my mind is that someone reserves an auditorium and invites an audience for a speech. A respected speaker starts their talk, but is heckled by rude or ignorant questions. Eventually, the speaker gives up on the harsh crowd and walks off or just sits down to wait for the crowd to calm down.

Yet the stage, audience and microphone are all still there. Someone else might jump up on stage and give their own opinion. And that opinion is probably not as valuable as the original speaker, if the audience had been more cooperative.

This is a very discerning observation. Thanks for providing this picture! I mimic Your train of thought very closely.

Having listened to the tapes, I'm pretty sure it was Ra all the time. But you're right, of course, that Ra preferred some questions to others.

Very true. Here is a Law of One search for prefer. Quite revealing!

---

Although, there was one session (not sure if there were more) in which the normal greeting of "I am Ra." was left out. I would definitely consider this significant.

Me, too. Do you happen to recall which session that was?

Having listened to the tapes, I find the idea that Ra could have left Carla's body during the sessions and been replaced by another entity ridiculous. Carla was in a deep trance during the sessions, guarded by a circle through which no thought-form could pass. At a couple of points during the session when Ra felt the protection was less than completely adequate, Ra instructed Don and Jim to re-walk the circle and/or expel breath over the instrument's chest, which they did. Believe me when I tell you nothing was getting through that circle.

Having listened to the tapes would give you a somewhat unique perspective! I never bought into the idea that the contact had been switched, however I do think there might be some interference at play at the 4D level.

I also find the whole idea that the alignments were a coded message about the direction of the questions to be not quite completely accurate. In my opinion, the ritual accoutrements were an end in and of themselves, and more important in some ways than the questions themselves. You had a situation where energies of great power and intensity were pouring through a very fragile instrument while under attack from an ipsissimus...

I concur that the placement of the objects is trivial. However the choice of objects is not, nor is the prayer used before receiving the transmission. My interest has been more along the lines of where the words "wrong" and "should" appear in the query. I think this may be a source of potential distortion.

I see that there is some shared history and great mutual respect between the L/L Research and Divine Cosmos teams, with David crediting Carla's massive initial work in channeling, and Carla crediting David's massive work in integrating science research. Because of this close connection, I'm not sure how much I may ask here.

Yes. Having been introduced to the Law of One through David Wilcock as well, I have always been curious as to the link between he and L/L Research. Both parties seem to be pretty tight-lipped about it, and so I must assume there is a good reason.

I just found this on a Google search for don elkins suicide. I don't know if you had come across this, but it was new to me.

Any researcher trying to draw comparisons between my life and those of the Law of One team, be advised... I was the first person to live in Don Elkins' room after he committed suicide, nearly 20 years later. I pick up ALL the energies off of the areas I sleep in whether I want to or not. I slept on the "Ra Bed" that the original Law of One readings were done off of for the first month I was there. All the frozen suicide thoughtforms in Don's room greeted me very strongly - the second or third night I slept in there I had a terrifying dream where gov. spooks shot my head off and I was in my astral body, trying to move my arms to feel if I still had a head. I didn't even take Don's original decorations off the wall and repaint to claim the room as my own until a month into the process.

The suggested channel method should be:

This is an interesting meta breakdown of channeled material. Very insightful, thanks for sharing!

So, since there is no way to prove conclusively that there aren't moon bases or undersea bases, I see no reason to doubt Ra's words on these.

Funny that Ra didn't mention much about subterranean cities or alien gods.
