STUDY GUIDE Don Elkins, Ph.D., Carla Rueckert, Jim McCarty http://www.llresearch.org Study Guide compiled by Bob Childers, Ph.D. Web formatting, editing and additional compilation by David Wilcock Dedicated to Carla Rueckert whose joyful service allowed the words of Ra to speak to humanity, despite the nearly fatal tolls and hardships endured by the physical body complex. Ra's words, brought through in 1981, are arguably the ultimate source of accurate ET information to have emerged in modern history. This study guide gives a wonderful overview of the main philosophies, concepts and practices of the Law of One, predominantly through excerpts. Let's put it this way -- this is the ONLY work that has attempted to summarize Ra's worldview in one streamlined form. It is invaluable to all seekers of Truth, Wisdom and Compassion. STUDY THIS THOROUGHLY Section One | Print | INTRODUCTION: L/L RESEARCH CHANNELS RA I. CONSCIOUS CHANNELING (Carla:) During all the years that I had been channeling had always channeled consciously, using my free will to clothe telepathic concepts in my own language. II. THE 1ST TRANCE CHANNELING When Elaine, a member of the meditation group died, someone suggested that I try to contact her. I could not say no. After some moments of consciously offering myself for the contact with Elaine, I became unaware of the passing of time, and when I awakened, Tom had what sounded like Elaine‘s voice on tape speaking through me. That was my first experience with trance. [Note: Carla had already been involved in scientific channeling research with questioner Dr. Don Elkins for over twenty years by this point. But up until now, her work had been from a conscious state only.] III. THE NEXT CONTACT WAS RA This work was extremely draining on me, and I did not want to continue. However, only a few days later I received a new contact which I had never had before. As I do in all cases I challenged this entity in the name of Christ, demanding that it leave if it did not come as a messenger of Christ Consciousness. It remained, so I opened myself to its channel. I went into trance almost immediately and the entity which called itself Ra began its series of contacts with us. This contact is ongoing, fascinating and to me, a source of some disquiet. (B1, 48-49) [Note: All three participants were needed for Ra's words to come through ... Dr. Don Elkins as questioner, Carla Rueckert as "instrument" and Jim McCarty as "scribe." When Dr. Don Elkins passed away this contact ceased.] IV. PROCEDURE James gives Carla a half-hour back message before each session because she will have to remain absolutely motionless for between an hour and an hour and forty-five minutes. Then we meditate so that the harmony we try to produce in our daily lives will be intensified, and so our desires are unified into the single desire to see contact with Ra. We perform a ritual of protection and Carla lays down, covered with a white sheet. She mentally recites the Prayer of St. Francis. At some point she leaves her physical body, and Ra begins to use it to make the words which form the responses to Don's questions. James meditates and sends light to Carla for the duration of the session. (B1, 50-51) V. FATIGUE RA: Do you understand how to nurture this instrument (Carla)? At this time she is quite fatigued. 1. The laying on of hands at the neck region for a brief period. 2. A gift of water into which the love of all present has been given. The charging of the water is done by those present placing their hands over the glass and visualizing the power of love entering the water. This will charge that very effective medium with those vibrations. (B1, S1, 69) THE MESSAGE OF RA WHO IS RA? The sessions began on Jan 15, 1981 (Books I-IV published in 1982-1984; Book V published in 1998) DEFINITIONS 1. Social memory complex = a large group of completely integrated souls -- or "group soul ” for short 2. Mind/body/spirit complex = a person, human, or entity having free will 3. Catalyst = a stimulus for growth, something that presents a challenge and an opportunity to learn a lesson. 4. Density = a density of consciousness -- or density of vibration (B4, S78, 28). Frequently used by Ra as an analog to what is currently thought of as “dimensions ” in the Universe. The densities are organized into an eight-fold “octave ” system, analogous to the musical octave and the visual light spectrum. Therefore the higher the density, the higher the level of consciousness. 5. Wanderer = higher-density soul that has volunteered to incarnate as human, with a contractual agreement to forget its true soul nature throughout its human life unless it consciously desires to seek the information. 6. Harvest = also known by the more conventional term "Ascension." The process whereby a soul and / or planet “Graduates ” from one density to the next. Occurs naturally as a planetary system traverses through different areas of energy density in the galaxy, thus creating dimensional shifts. These shifts occur in precise, measurable cycles of time. Earth is very soon to make such a shift, and the scientific proof for this is featured in Wilcock‘s Convergence series at /. 7. Distortion = anything that may erroneously be seen as a separate or individual unit, (since all is One,) including all philosophical ideas, teachings and concepts related to the Oneness as well as such things as the nature of light in the different densities ... since there is only One Light that has “distorted ” itself into an Octave. The frequent use of the word “distortion ” has been a stumbling block for many readers of Ra, as it can apply to almost anything and is usually not considered to be a negative term. At times Ra refers to their own teachings being distortions, as they themselves have not fully penetrated the Octave and returned to Oneness. 8. Alignment = when discussing the questions the group would ask, the "alignment" indicated whether or not the questions were oriented positively (service-to-others or STO) or negatively (service-to-self or STS). Another "solved mystery" when reading the Law of One source texts is why Ra would keep asking for the ritual objects to be realigned. [Example: "You may observe a slight misalignment between book, candle and perpendicularity of censer. This is not significant, but as we have said the cumulative effects upon this instrument (Carla) are not well." (B1, S21, 196)] The group discovered that these statements actually had nothing to do with the positions of the objects; rather it was an "encoded" means of evaluating how positive (service-to-others) the questions for that session had been ... i.e. how much they had focused on the Law of One. 9. This was the most that Ra could do, in terms of preserving free will by encoding the warning in the language of symbolism, in order to keep the group on track. If the group asked too many "misaligned" questions, and did not listen to the symbolic warnings to cease and desist asking such questions, (i.e. asking about anything not directly oriented towards the evolution of mind, body and spirit,) then Ra would have no choice but to gradually allow themselves to be replaced by a negative entity. This entity would masquerade as positive, and attempt to discredit the group by giving inaccurate information ... most commonly in the form of specific time-encoded prophecies of doom that would inevitably fail to come true. Modern channeling is replete with examples of just this. 10. This celestial response to "misaligned questions" ... i.e. the blending of negative entities into an apparently positive channel's message ... is said to be an un-alterable universal law. There is no protection against this except for the alignment of the questions being asked, and how well the lives of the participants aligned with the teachings being given: "Please guard your alignments carefully." (B3, S53, 23) This is the main reason why almost all of today's channeled material is heavily distorted, and does not agree on many points with the Law of One series, or with any other material. The group became aware of this potential problem soon after Book One, and became far more careful to never ask "transient" or unimportant questions, as they were called. This Study Guide documents all of the major answers that Ra gave, including answers to questions that they didn't think were well aligned. We do this so as to present a well-rounded portrait of what information actually came through, to assist in your studies. THE BEGINNING AND ENDING STATEMENTS At the beginning of each session, Ra normally begins as follows: RA: I am Ra. I greet you in the light and love of the One Infinite Creator. We communicate now. At the end of each session, Ra normally closes as follows: Ra: I am Ra. I leave you in the light and love Of the One Infinite Creator, Go forth, therefore, rejoicing in the power and peace of the One Infinite Creator. Adonai. NOTE: With the exception of a few stray instances in one session where Dr. Elkins was asking questions that Ra strongly did not approve of, Ra always prefaces any new statement that they make with the words “I am Ra. ” (Withholding this statement was another, even stronger "symbolic" means of warning that the alignment of the question was way off.) The reader should know that Ra prefaced every quote cited in this book with "I am Ra", and that this statement was not included in this text in order to dramatically enhance its readability.
