It is the springboard that allows us to make The Choice. Therefore in the figure on our cover, it glows the brightest of all the chakras. Dedication To Bill Hay and Denise DuBarry-Hay With love and thanks iii About the Author Carla Lisbeth Rueckert was born on July 16, 1943 in Lake Forest, IL. She grew up in Louisville, KY and graduated from the University of Louisville in 1966, earning a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English Literature. This was followed by a Master’s degree in Library Arts from Spalding College in 1971. Carla worked as a librarian for a thirteen-grade school until she was hired away by Don Elkins to do paranormal research. They formally created L/L Research in 1970. Carla served as a vocal channel from 1974–2011,and was the instrument for The Law Of One series. During her lifetime Carla authored and channeled thirteen published books, channeled approximately 1,500 different transcripts, sustained volumes of written and spoken correspondence with spiritual seekers, wrote poetry, danced, gardened, and sang iv About the Author with a heart full of praise and thanksgiving, both in the small moments of home life and in the church choir her entire life. Carla loved Jesus, loved serving, loved seeking, and loved life itself. She married her soulmate, Jim McCarty, in 1987, and passed away at home during Holy Week on April 1, 2015. Carla’s life work continues through her non-profit organization, L/L Research. You can find all of her work available for free at www.llresearch.org. v Acknowledgements Thanks to Abbie Bliss, Wendy Jane Carrel, Denise DuBarry Hay, Wynn Free, Bill Hay, Sharin Klisser, Jean-Claude Koven and Don Newsom, who were there at the beginning of this book, creating the idea in a weekend of discussion in January 2006. They gave me the inspiration to start this project! Thanks to Bruce Peret and Eccles Pridgeon, who generously helped me with early stages of outlining and gathering data for this book. Thanks to James A. McCarty, who talked this book through with me for hours on end as I began to visualize its shape, and who also went hunting for good q’uotations to use in these pages and whose encouragement and support throughout the project were profound, far and above beyond anything imaginable. Thanks to Steve Moffitt, whose second pair of eyes found many sentences and words to simplify and shorten as I strove to make this volume clear while retaining every nuance of The Law of One. Thanks to Ian Jaffray, who readied this book for printing. Thanks to Michele Matossian, the graphic artist whose unique and inspired cover design for this book is so deftly simple and so beautiful. Lastly, thanks to those who told me that an entry-level book on the principles of the Law of One was not needed, since most people do not care about these matters, and that no one can write such a book without “dumbing down” the concepts. Their doubts spurred me on. They helped me to set my imagination free to find ways to keep the writing simple and take it one step at a time—but keep it right! vi A Note About 2012 In a number of places in this book, Carla Rueckert mentions the time of December of 2012 as being the time by which seekers of truth would need to have made their choice of polarity, either in service to others or in service to self, in order to be harvestable. When Carla began doing the research for this book in 2005 this was seen by her as a strong possibility. It was felt that the energies of the fourth density would be too strong for third- density entities to be able to use for this purpose. However, as the grand date has come and gone, it is abundantly clear that catalyst continues unabated in all of our lives, and opportunities for learning still greet each of us as the Earth spins a new day. Though we cannot know how and when, precisely, harvest will transpire—Carla’s perspective was just one theory among others—we are of the opinion that so long as we are still breathing third-density oxygen, we have the ability to learn, grow, and polarize. This includes making the choice itself. After four years of declining health, Carla passed into larger life on April 1st of this year. If she had had the opportunity, she, in the spirit of a good scientist, would have realized that her theory had been overturned by the hard data of actual experience, and she would have subsequently, with great humility, made this exact change to her book. So we would like to suggest that when you read her occasional statements in this book regarding seekers having only until 2012 to make this choice of polarity, that you simply ignore this statement. Carla’s emphasis on a date in time in no way affects the rest of the message contained in this book which, as you will soon discover, is largely concerned with timeless spiritual principles. vii Fortunately the heart of Carla’s message, and the remaining 99% of the text, is right on target. She writes effectively and eloquently about the work of clearing and balancing the energy centers that is the prerequisite for being available for harvest. She had a gift for speaking from her heart, and for helping other people to get their own heart chakras open and clear. We are certain that you will enjoy your journey into your heart, aided by Carla’s own. In Love & Light, Jim McCarty Carla Rueckert’s husband and scribe for the Ra contact.
