Understanding Carla's challenge in the name of Christ

[Questioner]

Thank you for writing back so quickly, Monica! I thought I would have to wonder about this all night and hope for an answer tomorrow. I'm happy for the confirmation.

Now I want to also understand what happened when the spiritual alignment was lost. Here is how I understand it, and again I'd welcome any guidance if I'm confused here.

For the Ra contact to be present, required the combination of Carla's service as "instrument;" Jim McCarty's service as loving emotional support and scribe; and Don Elkins' service conducting the conversation with Ra.

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.

Maybe this doesn't quite fit what Carla described, but it is a picture that helps me try to understand how this works.

Ra could not interrupt Don's free will by saying, "You shouldn't have asked about that, it's a waste of time," unless Don invited Ra to evaluate Don's questions. Yet Ra wanted to give an indication of whether or not Don was in alignment.

When the session concluded with Ra's return, if Ra had been absent because of poor communication on Don's part, Ra made a coded assessment. Ra indicated the value of the contact for that session by commenting on the alignment of the physical symbolic tools of the session.

Later, the people involved realized that Ra was not really fastidious about lining up these physical items, but was giving a code about whether or not Don's questions were on track.

If Don had asked, with each question, something like, "Please answer this question or if there is a better way to ask about the unconditional love of Christ consciousness and the one infinite creator, please help me find a better question," Ra would have honored that request. Communication would have been slower with these disclaimers, but it would have avoided the distortions.

But there is no blame for Don to have not thought of this at the time, because the whole alignment code had not yet been figured out and Ra could not give a hint without violating free will.

So, again I am trying to understand if this is a correct way to comprehend the Ra messages.
