The Law of One, Book III, Session 52

Questioner: Thank you.

I think that possibly I am on an important point here because it seems to me that the great work in evolution is the discipline of personality, and it seems that we have two types of entities moving around the universe, one stemming from disciplines of personality, and the other stemming from what you call the slingshot effect.

I won’t even get into the sub-light speeds because I don’t consider that too important.

I only consider this material important because of the fact that we are considering disciplines of the personality.

Is the use of the slingshot effect for travel what you might call an intellectual or a left brain type of involvement of understanding rather than a right brain type?

Ra: I am Ra. Your perception on this point is extensive.

You penetrate the outer teaching.

We prefer not to utilize the terminology of right and left brain due to the inaccuracies of this terminology.

Some functions are repetitive or redundant in both lobes, and further, to some entities the functions of the right and left are reversed.

However, the heart of the query is worth some consideration.

The technology of which you, as a social complex, are so enamored at this time is but the birthing of the manipulation of the intelligent energy of the sub-Logos which, when carried much further, may evolve into technology capable of using the gravitic effects of which we spoke.

We note that this term is not accurate but there is no closer term.

Therefore, the use of technology to manipulate that outside the self is far, far less of an aid to personal evolution than the disciplines of the mind/body/spirit complex resulting in the whole knowledge of the self in the microcosm and macrocosm.

To the disciplined entity, all things are open and free.

The discipline which opens the universes opens also the gateways to evolution.

The difference is that of choosing either to hitchhike to a place where beauty may be seen or to walk, step by step, independent and free in this independence to praise the strength to walk and the opportunity for the awareness of beauty.

The hitchhiker, instead,
is distracted by conversation and the vagaries of the road and, dependent upon the whims of others, is concerned to make the appointment in time.

The hitchhiker sees the same beauty but has not prepared itself for the establishment, in the roots of mind, of the experience.

Questioner: I would ask this question in order to understand the mental disciplines and how they evolve.

Does fourth, fifth, and sixth-density positive or service-to-others orientation of social memory complexes use both the slingshot and the personality disciplines type of effect for travel or do they use only one?

Ra: I am Ra.

The positively oriented social memory complex
will be attempting to learn the disciplines of mind, body, and spirit.

However, there are some which, having the technology available to use intelligent energy forces to accomplish travel, do so while learning the more appropriate disciplines.

Questioner: Then I am assuming that in the more positively oriented social memory complexes a much higher percentage of them use the personality disciplines for this travel. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

As positive fifth-density moves into sixth there are virtually no entities which any longer use outer technology for travel or communication.

Questioner: Could you give me the same information on the negatively oriented social memory complexes as to the ratios and as to how they use the slingshot effect or the disciplines of the personality for travel?

Ra: I am Ra.

The fourth-density negative
uses the slingshot gravitic light effect, perhaps 80% of its membership being unable to master the disciplines necessary for alternate methods of travel.

In fifth-density negative
approximately 50% at some point gain the necessary discipline to use thought to accomplish travel.

As the sixth-density approaches,
the negative orientation is thrown into confusion and little travel is attempted.

What travel is done is perhaps 73% of light/thought.

Questioner: Is there any difference close to the end of fifth-density in the disciplines of personality between positive and negative orientation?

Ra: I am Ra. There are patent differences between the polarities but no difference whatsoever in the completion of the knowledge of the self necessary to accomplish this discipline.

Questioner: Am I correct, then, in assuming that

discipline of the personality,
knowledge of self, and
control in strengthening of the will

would be what any fifth-density entity would see as those things of importance?

Ra: I am Ra.

In actuality these things are of importance in third through early seventh densities.

The only correction in nuance that we would make is your use of the word, control.

It is paramount that it be understood that it is not desirable or helpful to the growth of the understanding, may we say, of an entity by itself to control thought processes or impulses except where they may result in actions not consonant with the Law of One.

Control may seem to be a short-cut to discipline, peace, and illumination.

However, this very control potentiates and necessitates the further incarnative experience in order to balance this control or repression of that self which is perfect.

Instead, we appreciate and recommend the use of your second verb in regard to the use of the will.

Acceptance of self,
forgiveness of self, and
the direction of the will;

this is the path towards the disciplined personality.

Your faculty of will
is that which is powerful within you as co-Creator.

You cannot ascribe to this faculty too much importance.

Thus it must be carefully used and directed in service-to-others for those upon the positively oriented path.

There is great danger in the use of the will as the personality becomes stronger, for it may be used even subconsciously in ways reducing the polarity of the entity.

Questioner: Thank you.

Just a little point that was bothering me of no real importance.

Is there then, from the point of view of an individual who wishes to follow the service-to-others path, anything of importance other than disciplines of personality, knowledge of self, and strengthening of will?

Ra: I am Ra. This is technique.

This is not the heart.

Let us examine the heart of evolution.

Let us remember that we are all one.
This is the great learning/teaching.

In this unity lies love.
This is a great learn/teaching.

In this unity lies light.

This is the fundamental teaching of all planes of existence in materialization.

Unity,
love,
light, and
joy;

this is the heart of evolution of the spirit.

The second-ranking lessons are learn/taught in meditation and in service.

At some point the mind/body/spirit complex is so smoothly activated and balanced by these central thoughts or distortions that the techniques you have mentioned become quite significant.

However, the universe, its mystery unbroken, is one.

Always begin and end in the Creator, not in technique.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 54

Questioner: I would like to trace the energy that I assume comes from the Logos. 

I will make a statement and let you correct me and expand on my concept.

From the Logos comes all frequencies of radiation of light. 

These frequencies of radiation make up all of the densities of experience that are created by that Logos. 

I am assuming that the planetary system of our sun, in all of its densities, is the total of the experience created by our sun as a Logos. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: I am assuming that the different frequencies are separated, as we have said, into the seven colors, and I am assuming that each of these colors may be the basic frequency for a sub-Logos of our sun Logos and that a sub-Logos or, shall we say, an individual may activate any one of these basic frequencies or colors and use the body that is generated from the activation of the frequency or color. 

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. If we grasp your query correctly this is not correct in that the sub-sub-Logos resides, not in dimensionalities, but only in co-Creators, or mind/body/spirit complexes.

Questioner: What I meant was that a mind/body/spirit complex can then have any body activated that is one of the seven rays. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct in the same sense as it is correct to state that any one may play a complex instrument which develops an euphonious harmonic vibration complex such as your piano and can play this so well that it might offer concerts to the public, as you would say. 

In other words, although it is true that each true color vehicle is available potentially there is skill and discipline needed in order to avail the self of the more advanced or lighter vehicles.

Questioner: I have made these statements to get to the basic question which I wish to ask. 

It is a difficult question to ask.

We have, coming from the sub-Logos we call our sun, intelligent energy.

This intelligent energy is somehow modulated or distorted so that it ends up as a mind/body/spirit complex with certain distortions of personality which are necessary for the mind/body/spirit complex or mental portion of that complex to undistort in order to conform once more with the original intelligent energy.

First, I want to know if my statement on that is correct, and, secondly, I want to know why this is the way that it is and if there is any answer other than the first distortion of the Law of One for this?

Ra: I am Ra. This statement is substantially correct. 

If you will penetrate the nature of the first distortion in its application of self knowing self, you may begin to distinguish the hallmark of an infinite Creator, variety. 

Were there no potentials for misunderstanding and, therefore, understanding, there would be no experience.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 60

Questioner: When you spoke in the last session of “energizing shocks” coming from the top of the pyramid, did you mean that these came at intervals rather than steadily?

Ra: I am Ra. These energizing shocks come at discrete intervals but come very, very close together in a properly functioning pyramid shape. 

In one whose dimensions have gone awry the energy will not be released with regularity or in quanta, as you may perhaps better understand our meaning.

Questioner: The next statement that I will make may or may not be enlightening to me in my investigation of the pyramid energy, but it has occurred to me that the effect of the so-called Bermuda Triangle could be possibly due to a large pyramid beneath the water which releases this third spiral in discrete and varying intervals. 

Entities or craft that are in the vicinity may change their space/time continuum in some way.

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. Yes.

Questioner: Then this third spiral has an energizing effect that, if strong enough, will actually change the space/time continuum. 

Is there a use or value to this type of change?

Ra: I am Ra. In the hands of one of fifth-density or above this particular energy may be tapped in order to communicate information, love, or light across what you would consider vast distances but which with this energy may be considered transdimensional leaps. 

Also, there is the possibility of travel using this formation of energy.

Questioner: Would this travel be the instantaneous type used primarily by sixth-density entities, or is it the sling-shot effect that you are talking about?

Ra: I am Ra. The former effect is that of which we speak. 

You may note that as one learns the, shall we say, understandings or disciplines of the personality each of these configurations of prana is available to the entity without the aid of this shape. 

One may view the pyramid at Giza as metaphysical training wheels.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 74

Questioner: I have a statement here that I am going to make and let you correct.

I see that the disciplines of the personality feed the indigo-ray energy center and affect the power of the white magician by unblocking the lower energy centers allowing for the free flow of the upward spiraling light to reach the indigo center.

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

Questioner: Will you please correct me?

Ra: I am Ra. The indigo center is indeed most important for the work of the adept.

However, it cannot, no matter how crystallized, correct to any extent whatsoever imbalances or blockages in other energy centers.

They must needs be cleared seriatim from red upwards.

Questioner: I’m not sure exactly if I understand this.

The question is how do disciplines of the personality feed the indigo-ray energy center and affect the power of the white magician?

Does that question make sense?

Ra: I am Ra. Yes.

Questioner: Would you answer it please?

Ra: I am Ra. We would be happy to answer this query.

We understood the previous query as being of other import.

The indigo ray is the ray of the adept.

There is an identification between the crystallization of that energy center and the improvement of the working of the mind/body/spirit as it begins to transcend space/time balancing and to enter the combined realms of space/time and time/space.

Questioner: Let me see if I have a wrong opinion here of the effect of disciplines of the personality.

I was assuming that the discipline of the personality to, shall we say, have a balanced attitude toward a single fellow entity would properly clear and balance, to some extent, the orange-ray energy center.

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. We cannot say that you speak incorrectly but merely less than completely.

The disciplined personality,
when faced with an other-self, has all centers balanced according to its unique balance.

Thusly the other-self looks in a mirror seeing its self.

Questioner: The disciplines of the personality are the paramount work of any who have become consciously aware of the process of evolution.

Am I correct on that statement?

Ra: I am Ra. Quite.

Questioner: What I am trying to get at is how these disciplines affect the energy centers and the power of the white magician.

Will you tell me how that works?

Ra: I am Ra.

The heart of the discipline of the personality is threefold.

One, know your self.
Two, accept your self.
Three, become the Creator.

The third step is that step
which, when accomplished, renders one the most humble servant of all, transparent in personality and completely able to know and accept other-selves.

In relation to the pursuit of the magical working the continuing discipline of the personality involves the adept in knowing its self, accepting its self, and thus clearing the path towards the great indigo gateway to the Creator.

To become the Creator is to become all that there is.

There is, then, no personality in the sense with which the adept begins its learn/teaching.

As the consciousness of the indigo ray becomes more crystalline, more work may be done; more may be expressed from intelligent infinity.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 75

Questioner: You made the statement in a previous session that the true adept lives more and more as it is.

Will you explain and expand more upon that statement?

Ra: I am Ra. Each entity is the Creator.

The entity, as it becomes more and more conscious of its self,
gradually comes to the turning point at which it determines to seek either in service to others or in service to self.

The seeker becomes the adept when it has balanced with minimal adequacy the energy centers red, orange, yellow, and blue with the addition of the green for the positive, thus moving into indigo work.

The adept then
begins to do less of the preliminary or outer work, having to do with function, and begins to effect the inner work which has to do with being.

As the adept becomes a more and more consciously crystallized entity
it gradually manifests more and more of that which it always has been since before time; that is, the one infinite Creator.

This instrument begins to show rapid distortion towards increase of pain.

We, therefore, would offer time for any brief query before we leave this working.

The Law of One, Book V, Fragment 42

Questioner: Jim has a personal question that is not to be published. 

He asks, “It seems that my balancing work has shifted from more peripheral concerns such as patience/impatience, to learning to open myself in unconditional love, to accepting my self as whole and perfect, and then to accepting my self as the Creator. 

If this is a normal progression of focus for balancing, wouldn’t it be more efficient once this is discovered for a person to work on the acceptance of the self as Creator rather than work peripherally on the secondary and tertiary results of not accepting the self?”

Ra: I am Ra. The term efficiency has misleading connotations. 

In the context of doing work in the disciplines of the personality, in order to be of more full efficiency in the central acceptance of the self, it is first quite necessary to know the distortions of the self which the entity is accepting.

Each thought and action needs must then be scrutinized for the precise foundation of the distortions of any reactions. 

This process shall lead to the more central task of acceptance. 

However, the architrave must be in place before the structure is builded.

The Law of One, Book II, Session 42

Questioner: In the last session you said,

“that when the self is conscious to a great enough extent of the workings of the catalyst of fasting, and the techniques of programming, it then may through concentration of the will and the faculty of faith alone cause reprogramming without the analogy of fasting, diet, or other analogous bodily complex disciplines.”

What are the techniques of programming which the higher self uses to insure that the desired lessons are learned or attempted by the third-density self?

Ra: I am Ra. There is but one technique for this growing or nurturing of will and faith, and that is the focusing of the attention.

The attention span of those you call children is considered short.
The spiritual attention span of most of your peoples is that of the child.

Thus it is a matter of wishing to become able to collect one’s attention and hold it upon the desired programming. 

This, when continued, strengthens the will.

The entire activity can only occur when there exists faith that an outcome of this discipline is possible.

Questioner: Can you mention some exercises for helping to increase the attention span?

Ra: I am Ra. Such exercises are common among the many mystical traditions of your entities.

The visualization of a shape and color which is of personal inspirational quality to the meditator is the heart of what you would call the religious aspects of this sort of visualization. 

The visualization of simple shapes and colors
which have no innate inspirational quality to the entity form the basis for what you may call your magical traditions. 

Whether you image the rose or the circle is not important.

However, it is suggested that one or the other path towards visualization be chosen in order to exercise this faculty.

This is due to the careful arrangement of shapes and colors which have been described as visualizations by those steeped in the magical tradition.

Questioner: As a youth I was trained in the engineering sciences which include the necessity for three dimensional visualization for the processes of design.

Would this be helpful as a foundation for the type of visualization which you are speaking of, or would it be of no value?

Ra: I am Ra. To you, the questioner, this experience was valuable.

To a less sensitized entity it would not gain the proper increase of concentrative energy.

Questioner: Then the less sensitized entity should use …

What should he use for the proper energy?

Ra: I am Ra.

In the less sensitized individual
the choosing of personally inspirational images is appropriate whether this inspiration be
the rose which is of perfect beauty,
the cross which is of perfect sacrifice,
the Buddha which is the All-being in One, or whatever else may inspire the individual.

The Law of One, Book II, Session 43

Questioner: You stated that the key to strengthening the will is concentration.

Can you tell me the relative importance of the following aids to concentration?

I have listed:
silence,
temperature control,
comfort of body,
screening as a Faraday cage would screen electromagnetic radiation, 
visible light screening, and
a constant smell such as the use of incense.

In other words, an isolation-type of situation.

You mentioned that this was one of the functions of the pyramid.

Ra: I am Ra. The analogies of body complex to mind and spirit complex activities have been discussed previously.

You may consider all of these aforementioned aids as those helpful to the stimulation of that which in actuality aids concentration, that being the will of the entity.

This free will may be focused at any object or goal.

Questioner: I was really trying to get at whether it would be of great importance to construct a better place for our meditations.

We have distractions here of the types which I mentioned, and I know that it is a function of our total free will as to whether we construct this or not, but I was trying to get at the principles behind and the relative importance of the Faraday cage.

It would be quite a construction and I was wondering if it would be of any real value?

Ra: I am Ra. Without infringing upon free will we feel it possible to state that the Faraday cage and the isolation tank are gadgets.

The surrounding of self in a sylvan atmosphere, apart from distractions, in a place of working used for no other purpose, in which you and your associates agree to lay aside all goals but that of the meditative seeking of the infinite Creator is, shall we say, not gadgetry but the making use of the creation of the Father in second-density love, and in the love and support of otherselves.

Are there any brief queries before this working is at an end?

The Law of One, Book I, Session 17

Questioner: Is it necessary to penetrate one level at a time as we move through these planes?

Ra: I am Ra. It has been our experience that some penetrate several planes at one time. 

Others penetrate them slowly. 

Some in eagerness attempt to penetrate the higher planes before penetrating the energies of the so-called more fundamental planes. 

This causes energy imbalance.

You will find ill health, as you call this distortion, to frequently be the result of a subtle mismatch of energies in which some of the higher energy levels are being activated by the conscious attempts of the entity while the entity has not penetrated the lower energy centers or sub-densities of this density.

The Law of One, Book II, Session 41

Questioner: Thank you. 

In the session from the day before yesterday you mentioned variable speed of rotation or activity of energy centers. 

What did you mean by that?

Ra: I am Ra. Each energy center has a wide range of rotational speed or as you may see it more clearly in relation to color, brilliance. 

The more strongly the will of the entity concentrates upon and refines or purifies each energy center, the more brilliant or rotationally active each energy center will be. 

It is not necessary for the energy centers to be activated in order in the case of the self-aware entity. 

Thusly entities may have extremely brilliant energy centers while being quite unbalanced in their violet ray aspect due to lack of attention paid to the totality of experience of the entity.

The key to balance may then be seen in the unstudied, spontaneous, and honest response of entities toward experiences, thus using experience to the utmost, then applying the balancing exercises and achieving the proper attitude for the most purified spectrum of energy center manifestation in violet ray. 

This is why the brilliance or rotational speed of the energy centers is not considered above the balanced aspect or violet ray manifestation of an entity in regarding harvestability; for those entities which are unbalanced, especially as to the primary rays, will not be capable of sustaining the impact of the love and light of intelligent infinity to the extent necessary for harvest.

The Law of One, Book II, Session 42

Questioner: I am going to make a statement and ask you to comment on its degree of accuracy.

I am assuming that the balanced entity would not be swayed either towards positive or negative emotions by any situation which he might confront.

By remaining unemotional in any situation, the balanced entity may clearly discern the appropriate and necessary responses in harmony with the Law of One for each situation. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is an incorrect application of the balancing which we have discussed.

The exercise of first experiencing feelings and then consciously discovering their antitheses within the being has as its objective not the smooth flow of feelings both positive and negative while remaining unswayed but rather the objective of becoming unswayed.

This is a simpler result and takes much practice, shall we say.

The catalyst of experience works in order for the learn/teachings of this density to occur.

However, if there is seen in the being a response, even if it is simply observed, the entity is still using the catalyst for learn/teaching.

The end result is that the catalyst is no longer needed.
Thus this density is no longer needed.

This is not indifference or objectivity but a finely tuned compassion and love which sees all things as love.

This seeing elicits no response due to catalytic reactions.

Thus the entity is now able to become co-Creator of experiential occurrences.

This is the truer balance.

Questioner: I will attempt to make an analogy.

If an animal, shall I say, a bull, in a pen attacks you because you have wandered into his pen, you get out of his way rapidly but you do not blame him.

You do not have much of an emotional response other than the response that he might damage you.

However, if you encounter another self in his territory and he attacks you, your response may be more of an emotional nature creating physical bodily responses.

Am I correct in assuming that when your response to the animal and to the other-self is that of seeing both as Creator and loving both and understanding their action in attacking you is the action of their free will then you have balanced yourself correctly in this area?

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is basically correct.

However, the balanced entity will see in the seeming attack of an other-self the causes of this action which are, in most cases, of a more complex nature than the cause of the attack of the second-density bull as was your example.

Thus this balanced entity would be open to many more opportunities for service to a third-density other-self.

Questioner: Would a perfectly balanced entity feel any emotional response in being attacked by the other-self?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

The response is love.

Questioner: In the illusion that we now experience it is difficult to maintain this response especially if the attack results in physical pain, but I assume that this response should be maintained even through physical pain or loss of life. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct and further is of a major or principle importance in understanding, shall we say, the principle of balance.

Balance is not indifference but rather the observer not blinded by any feelings of separation but rather fully imbued with love.

Questioner: What is the difference in terms of energy center activation between a person who represses emotional responses to emotionally charged situations and the person who is balanced and, therefore, truly unswayed by emotionally charged situations?

Ra: I am Ra. This query contains an incorrect assumption.

To the truly balanced entity no situation would be emotionally charged.

With this understood, we may say the following:

The repression of emotions depolarizes the entity in so far as it then chooses not to use the catalytic action of the space/time present in a spontaneous manner, thus dimming the energy centers.

There is, however, some polarization towards positive if the cause of this repression is consideration for other-selves.

The entity which has worked long enough with the catalyst to be able to feel the catalyst but not find it necessary to express reactions is not yet balanced but suffers no depolarization due to the transparency of its experiential continuum.

Thus the gradual increase in the ability to observe one’s reaction and to know the self will bring the self ever closer to a true balance. 

Patience is requested and suggested, for the catalyst is intense upon your plane and its use must be appreciated over a period of consistent learn/teaching.

Questioner: How can a person know when he is unswayed by an emotionally charged situation or if he is repressing the flow of emotions, or if he is in balance and truly unswayed?

Ra: I am Ra. We have spoken to this point.

Therefore, we shall briefly iterate that to the balanced entity no situation has an emotional charge but is simply a situation like any other in which the entity may or may not observe an opportunity to be of service.

The closer an entity comes to this attitude the closer an entity is to balance.

You may note that it is not our recommendation that reactions to catalyst be repressed or suppressed unless such reactions would be a stumbling block not consonant with the Law of One to an other-self.

It is far, far better to allow the experience to express itself in order that the entity may then make fuller use of this catalyst.

Questioner: How can an individual assess what energy centers within its being are activated and in no immediate need of attention and which energy centers are not activated and are in need of immediate attention?

Ra: I am Ra.

The thoughts of an entity, its feelings or emotions, and least of all its behavior are the signposts for the teaching/learning of self by self.

In the analysis of one’s experiences of a diurnal cycle an entity may assess what it considers to be inappropriate thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and emotions. 

In examining these inappropriate activities of mind, body, and spirit complexes the entity may then place these distortions in the proper vibrational ray and thus see where work is needed.

The Law of One, Book II, Session 43

Questioner: I agree with you wholeheartedly, but I sometimes am at a loss before investigation into an area as to whether it is going to lead to a better understanding.

This just seemed to be related somehow to the energy centers which we had been speaking of.

I am going to make a statement and have you comment on it for its correctness.

The statement is:

When the Creator’s light is split or divided into colors and energy centers for experience, then in order to reunite with the Creator the energy centers must be balanced exactly the same as the split light was as it originated from the Creator.

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. To give this query a simple answer would be nearly impossible.

We shall simplify by concentrating upon what we consider to be the central idea towards which you are striving.

We have, many times now, spoken about the relative importance of balancing as opposed to the relative unimportance of maximal activation of each energy center.

The reason is as you have correctly surmised.

Thusly the entity is concerned, if it be upon the path of positive harvestability, with the regularizing of the various energies of experience.

Thus the most fragile entity may be more balanced than one with extreme energy and activity in service-to-others due to the fastidiousness with which the will is focused upon the use of experience in knowing the self.

The densities beyond your own give the minimally balanced individual much time/space and space/time with which to continue to refine these inner balances.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 54

Questioner: Thank you. 

It bears weight to my own way of thinking also. I appreciate what you have told me.

Now, I would like to then consider the origin of catalyst. 

First we have the condition of mind/body/spirit complex which, as a function of the first distortion, has reached a condition of blockage or partial blockage of one or more energy centers. 

I will assume that catalyst is necessary only if there is at least partial blockage of one energy center. 

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

Questioner: Could you tell me why?

Ra: I am Ra. While it is a primary priority to activate or unblock each energy center, it is also a primary priority at that point to begin to refine the balances between the energies so that each tone of the chord of total vibratory being-ness resonates in clarity, tune, and harmony with each other energy. 

This balancing, tuning, and harmonizing of the self is most central to the more advanced or adept mind/body/spirit complex. 

Each energy may be activated without the beauty that is possible through the disciplines and appreciations of personal energies or what you might call the deeper personality or soul identity.

Questioner: Let me make an analogy that I have just thought of. 

A sevenstringed musical instrument may be played by deflecting each string a full deflection and releasing it producing notes.

instead of producing the notes this way the individual creative personality could deflect each string the proper amount in the proper sequence producing music. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. 

In the balanced individual the energies lie waiting for the hand of the Creator to pluck harmony.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 58

Questioner: There are many people who are now bending metal, doing other things like that by mentally requesting this happen. 

What is happening in that case?

Ra: I am Ra. That which occurs in this instance may be likened to the influence of the second spiral of light in a pyramid being used by an entity.

As this second spiral ends at the apex, 
the light may be likened unto a laser beam in the metaphysical sense and when intelligently directed may cause bending not only in the pyramid, but this is the type of energy which is tapped into by those capable of this focusing of the upward spiraling light.

This is made possible through contact in indigo ray with intelligent energy.

Questioner: Why are these people able to do this? 

They seem to have no training; they are just able to do it.

Ra: I am Ra. They remember the disciplines necessary for this activity which is merely useful upon other true color vibratory experiential nexi.

Questioner: Then you are saying that this wouldn’t be useful in our present density. 

Will it be useful in fourth-density on this planet in the very near future?

Ra: I am Ra. The end of such energy focusing is to build, not to destroy, and it does become quite useful as, shall we say, an alternative to third density building methods.

Questioner: Is it also used for healing?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

Questioner: Is there any advantage in attempting to develop these characteristics or in being able to bend metal, etc.? 

What I am trying to say is, are these characteristics a signpost of the development of an entity, or is it merely something else? 

For instance, as an entity develops through his indigo would a signpost of his development be this bending ability?

Ra: I am Ra. This will be the last full query of this working.

Let us specify the three spirals of light energy which the pyramid exemplifies. 

Firstly, 
the fundamental spiral which is used for study and for healing. 

Second, 
the spiral to the apex which is used for building. 

Thirdly, 
the spiral spreading from the apex which is used for energizing.

Contact with indigo ray need not necessarily show itself in any certain gift or guidepost, as you have said. 

There are some whose indigo energy is that 
of pure being and never is manifested, yet all are aware of such an entity’s progress. 

Others may teach or share in many ways contact with intelligent energy. 

Others continue in unmanifested form, seeking intelligent infinity.

Thus the manifestation is lesser signpost than that which is sensed or intuited about a mind/body/spirit complex. 

This violet ray being-ness is far more indicative of true self.

Are there any brief queries or small matters we may clear up, if we can, before we leave this instrument?

The Law of One, Book III, Session 66

Questioner: Would you please list the polarities within the body which are related to the balancing of the energy centers of the various bodies of the unmanifested entity?

Ra: I am Ra. In this question there lies a great deal of thought which we appreciate.

It is possible that the question itself may serve to aid meditations upon this particular subject.

Each unmanifested self is unique.

The basic polarities have to do with the balanced vibratory rates and relationships between the first three energy centers and to a lesser extent, each of the other energy centers?

May we answer more specifically?

Questioner: Possibly in the next session we will expand on that.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 75

Questioner: You made the statement in a previous session that the true adept lives more and more as it is.

Will you explain and expand more upon that statement?

Ra: I am Ra. Each entity is the Creator.

The entity, as it becomes more and more conscious of its self,
gradually comes to the turning point at which it determines to seek either in service to others or in service to self.

The seeker becomes the adept when it has balanced with minimal adequacy the energy centers red, orange, yellow, and blue with the addition of the green for the positive, thus moving into indigo work.

The adept then
begins to do less of the preliminary or outer work, having to do with function, and begins to effect the inner work which has to do with being.

As the adept becomes a more and more consciously crystallized entity
it gradually manifests more and more of that which it always has been since before time; that is, the one infinite Creator.

This instrument begins to show rapid distortion towards increase of pain.

We, therefore, would offer time for any brief query before we leave this working.

The Law of One, Book V, Fragment 42

Questioner: Jim has a personal question that is not to be published. 

He asks, “It seems that my balancing work has shifted from more peripheral concerns such as patience/impatience, to learning to open myself in unconditional love, to accepting my self as whole and perfect, and then to accepting my self as the Creator. 

If this is a normal progression of focus for balancing, wouldn’t it be more efficient once this is discovered for a person to work on the acceptance of the self as Creator rather than work peripherally on the secondary and tertiary results of not accepting the self?”

Ra: I am Ra. The term efficiency has misleading connotations. 

In the context of doing work in the disciplines of the personality, in order to be of more full efficiency in the central acceptance of the self, it is first quite necessary to know the distortions of the self which the entity is accepting.

Each thought and action needs must then be scrutinized for the precise foundation of the distortions of any reactions. 

This process shall lead to the more central task of acceptance. 

However, the architrave must be in place before the structure is builded.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 80

Questioner: Has our fifth-density visitor been less able to affect the instrument during our more recent workings?

Ra: I am Ra. We shall answer in two parts. 

Firstly, during the workings themselves the entity has been bated to a great extent. 

Secondly, in the general experiential circumstances of your space/time experience this fifth-density entity is able to greet this entity with the same effectiveness upon the physical body complex as always since the inception of its contact with your group. 

This is due to the several physical complex distortions of the instrument.

However, the instrument has become more mentally and spiritually able to greet this entity with love thereby reducing the element of fear which is an element the entity counts as a great weapon in the attempt to cause cessation, in any degree, of the Ra contact.

Questioner: What is the reason for the fact that the entity is able to act through physical distortions that are already present as opposed to being unable to act upon an entity who has no physical distortion at all?

Ra: I am Ra. The key to this query is the term, distortion. 

Any distortion, 
be it physical, mental, or spiritual in complex nature, may be accentuated by the suggestion of one able to work magically; that is, to cause changes in consciousness. 

This entity has many physical distortions. 

Each in the group has various mental distortions. 

Their nature varies. 

The less balanced the distortion by self-knowledge, 
the more adeptly the entity may accentuate such a distortion in order to mitigate against the smooth functioning and harmony of the group.

The Law of One, Book II, Session 40

Questioner: In dietary matters, what would be the foods that one would include and what would be the foods that one would exclude in a general way for the greatest care of one’s bodily complex?

Ra: I am Ra. Firstly, we underline and emphasize that this information is not to be understood literally but as a link or psychological nudge for the body and the mind and spirit.

Thus it is the care and respect for the self that is the true thing of importance.

In this light we may iterate the basic information given for this instrument’s diet.
The vegetables, the fruits, the grains, and to the extent necessary for the individual metabolism, the animal products.

These are those substances showing respect for the self.

In addition, though this has not been mentioned for this instrument is not in need of purification, those entities in need of purging the self of a poison thought-form or emotion complex do well to take care in following a program of careful fasting until the destructive thought-form has been purged analogously with the by-products of ridding the physical vehicle of excess material.

Again you see the value not to the body complex but used as a link for the mind and spirit.

Thus self reveals self to self.

The Law of One, Book II, Session 41

Questioner: You mentioned in the last session the concept of fasting for removing unwanted thought-forms.

Can you expand on this process and explain a little bit more about how this works?

Ra: I am Ra. This, as all healing techniques, must be used by a conscious being; that is, a being conscious that the ridding of excess and unwanted material from the body complex is the analogy to the ridding of mind or spirit of excess or unwanted material.

Thus the one discipline or denial of the unwanted portion as an appropriate part of the self is taken through the tree of mind down through the trunk to subconscious levels where the connection is made and thus the body, mind, and spirit, then in unison, express denial of the excess or unwanted spiritual or mental material as part of the entity.

All then falls away and the entity, while understanding, if you will, and appreciating the nature of the rejected material as part of the greater self, nevertheless, through the action of the will purifies and refines the mind/body/spirit complex, bringing into manifestation the desired mind complex or spirit complex attitude.

Questioner: Then would this be like a conscious reprogramming of catalyst?

For instance, for some entities catalyst is programmed by the higher self to create experiences so that the entity can release itself from unwanted biases.

Would this be analogous then to the entity consciously programming this release and using fasting as the method of communication to itself?

Ra: I am Ra. This is not only correct but may be taken further.

The self, if conscious to a great enough extent of the workings of this catalyst and the techniques of programming, may through concentration of the will and the faculty of faith alone cause reprogramming without the analogy of the fasting, the diet, or other analogous body complex disciplines.

The Law of One, Book II, Session 42

Questioner: In the last session you said,

“that when the self is conscious to a great enough extent of the workings of the catalyst of fasting, and the techniques of programming, it then may through concentration of the will and the faculty of faith alone cause reprogramming without the analogy of fasting, diet, or other analogous bodily complex disciplines.”

What are the techniques of programming which the higher self uses to insure that the desired lessons are learned or attempted by the third-density self?

Ra: I am Ra. There is but one technique for this growing or nurturing of will and faith, and that is the focusing of the attention.

The attention span of those you call children is considered short.
The spiritual attention span of most of your peoples is that of the child.

Thus it is a matter of wishing to become able to collect one’s attention and hold it upon the desired programming.

This, when continued, strengthens the will.

The entire activity can only occur when there exists faith that an outcome of this discipline is possible.

The Law of One, Book V, Fragment 55
Session 105, October 19, 1983

Questioner: Could you please tell me what caused Jim’s kidney problem to return, and what can be done to heal it?

Ra: I am Ra. The entity, Jim, determined that it would cleanse itself and thus would spend time/space and space/time in pursuit and contemplation of perfection. 

The dedication to this working was intensified until the mind/body/spirit complex rang in harmony with this intention. 

The entity did not grasp the literal way in which metaphysical intentions are translated by the body complex of one working in utter unity of purpose. 

The entity began the period of prayer, fasting, penitence, and rejoicing. 

The body complex, which was not yet fully recovered from the nephrotic syndrome, began to systematically cleanse each organ, sending all the detritus that was not perfect through kidneys which were not given enough liquid to dilute the toxins being released. 

The toxins stayed with the body complex and reactivated a purely physical illness. 

There is no metaphysical portion in this relapse.

The healing is taking place in manifestation of an affirmation of body complex health which, barring untoward circumstance, shall be completely efficacious.

The Law of One, Book I, Session 10

Questioner: While an entity is incarnate in this third density at this time he may either learn unconsciously without knowing what he is learning, 

or he may learn after he is consciously aware that he is learning in the ways of the Law of One. 

By the second way of learning consciously, it is possible for the entity to greatly accelerate his growth. 

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: Then although many entities are not consciously aware of it,what they really desire is to accelerate their growth, and it is their job todiscover this while they are incarnate. 

Is it correct that they can accelerate their growth much more while in the third density than in between incarnations of this density?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. 

We shall attempt to speak upon this concept. 

The Law of One has as one of its primal distortions the free will distortion, 

thus each entity is free to accept, reject, or ignore the mind/body/spirit complexes about it and ignore the creation itself. 

There are many among your social memory complex distortion who, at this time/space, engage daily, as you would put it, in the working upon the Law of One in one of its primal distortions; that is, the ways of love. 

However, if this same entity, being biased from the depths of its mind/body/spirit complex towards love/light, were then to accept the responsibility for each moment of the time/space accumulation of present moments available to it, such an entity can empower its progress in much the same way as we described the empowering of the call of your social complex distortion to the Confederation.

Questioner: For the general development of the reader of this book, could you state some of the practices or exercises to perform to produce an acceleration toward the Law of One?

Ra: I am Ra.

Exercise One.
This is the most nearly centered and useable within your illusion complex. 
The moment contains love. 

That is the lesson/goal of this illusion or density. 

The exercise is 
to consciously see that love in awareness and understanding distortions. 
The first attempt is the cornerstone. 

Upon this choosing rests the remainder of the life-experience of an entity. 

The second seeking 
of love within the moment begins the addition. 

The third seeking 
empowers the second, 

the fourth 
powering or doubling the third.  

As with the previous type of empowerment, there will be some loss of power due to flaws within the seeking in the distortion of insincerity. 

However, the conscious statement of self to self of the desire to seek love is so central an act of will that, as before, the loss of power due to this friction is inconsequential.

Exercise Two.
The universe is one being. 

When a mind/body/spirit complex views another mind/body/spirit complex, see the Creator. 
This is an helpful exercise.

Exercise Three. 
Gaze within a mirror. 
See the Creator.

Exercise Four. 
Gaze at the creation which lies about the mind/body/spirit complex of each entity. 
See the Creator.

The foundation or prerequisite of these exercises 
is a predilection towards what may be called meditation, contemplation, or prayer. 

With this attitude, 
these exercises can be processed. 

Without it, 
the data will not sink down into the roots of the tree of mind, thus enabling and ennobling the body and touching the spirit.

The Law of One, Book I, Session 15

Questioner: Yesterday you stated that 

“the harvest is now. 

There is not at this time any reason to include efforts along this line of longevity, but rather to encourage efforts to seek the heart of self. 

This which resides clearly in the violet-ray energy field will determine the harvest of the mind/body/spirit complex.” 

Could you tell us the best way to seek the heart of self?

Ra: I am Ra. We have given you this information in several wordings.

However, we can only say the material for your understanding is the self: the mind/body/spirit complex. 

You have been given information upon healing, as you call this distortion. 

This information may be seen in a more general context as 

ways to understand the self. 
The understanding, 
experiencing, 
accepting, and 
merging of self with self and other-self, and 
finally with the Creator, 

is the path to the heart of self. 

In each infinitesimal part of your self resides the One in all of Its power. 

Therefore, we can only encourage these lines of contemplation or prayer as a means of subjectively/objectively using or combining various understandings to enhance the seeking process. 

Without such a method of reversing the analytical process, one could not integrate into unity the many understandings gained in such seeking.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 52

Questioner: Thank you. 

I think that possibly I am on an important point here because it seems to me that the great work in evolution is the discipline of personality, and it seems that we have two types of entities moving around the universe, one stemming from disciplines of personality, and the other stemming from what you call the slingshot effect. 

I won’t even get into the sub-light speeds because I don’t consider that too important. 

I only consider this material important because of the fact that we are considering disciplines of the personality.

Is the use of the slingshot effect for travel what you might call an intellectual or a left brain type of involvement of understanding rather than a right brain type?

Ra: I am Ra. Your perception on this point is extensive. 

You penetrate the outer teaching. 

We prefer not to utilize the terminology of right and left brain due to the inaccuracies of this terminology. 

Some functions are repetitive or redundant in both lobes, and further, to some entities the functions of the right and left are reversed. 

However, the heart of the query is worth some consideration.

The technology of which you, as a social complex, are so enamored at this time is but the birthing of the manipulation of the intelligent energy of the sub-Logos which, when carried much further, may evolve into technology capable of using the gravitic effects of which we spoke.

We note that this term is not accurate but there is no closer term.

Therefore, the use of technology to manipulate that outside the self is far, far less of an aid to personal evolution than the disciplines of the mind/body/spirit complex resulting in the whole knowledge of the self in the microcosm and macrocosm.

To the disciplined entity, all things are open and free. 

The discipline which opens the universes opens also the gateways to evolution. 

The difference is that of choosing either to hitchhike to a place where beauty may be seen or to walk, step by step, independent and free in this independence to praise the strength to walk and the opportunity for the awareness of beauty.

The hitchhiker, instead, 
is distracted by conversation and the vagaries of the road and, dependent upon the whims of others, is concerned to make the appointment in time. 

The hitchhiker sees the same beauty but has not prepared itself for the establishment, in the roots of mind, of the experience.

The Law of One, Book I, Session 14

Questioner: How do you normally perform your service of giving the Law of One? 

How have you done this over the last 2,300 years? 

How have you normally given this to Earth people?

Ra: I am Ra. We have used channels such as this one, but in most cases the channels feel inspired by dreams and visions without being aware, consciously, of our identity or existence. 

This particular group has been accentuatedly trained to recognize such contact. 

This makes this group able to be aware of a focal or vibrational source of information.

Questioner: When you contact the entities in their dreams and otherwise, these entities first have to be seeking in the direction of the Law of One. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. 

For example, the entities of the nation Egypt were in a state of pantheism, as you may call the distortion toward separate worship of various portions of the Creator. 

We were able to contact one whose orientation was toward the One.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 83

Questioner: Thank you. 

I’m going to ask a rather long, complex question and I would request that the answer to each portion of this question be given if there was a significant difference prior to the veil than following the veil so that I can get an idea of how what we experience now is used for better polarization.

What was the difference before the veil in the following while incarnate in third density: 
sleep, 
dreams, 
physical pain, 
mental pain, 
sex, 
disease, 
catalyst programming, 
random catalyst, 
relationships, and 
communication with the higher self or 
with the mind/body/spirit totality or 
any other mind, body, or 
spirit functions 

before the veil that would be significant with respect to their difference after the veil?

Ra: I am Ra. 

Firstly, 
let us establish that both before and after the veil the same conditions existed in time/space; that is, the veiling process is a space/time phenomenon.

Secondly, 
the character of experience was altered drastically by the veiling process. 

In some cases such as 

the dreaming and the contact with the higher self, 
the experience was quantitatively different due to the fact that the veiling is a primary cause of the value of dreams and is also the single door against which the higher self must stand awaiting entry. 

Before veiling, 
dreams were not for the purpose of using the so-called unconscious to further utilize catalyst but were used to learn/teach from teach/learners within the inner planes as well as those of outer origins of higher density. 

As you deal with each subject of which you spoke you may observe, during the veiling process, not a quantitative change in the experience but a qualitative one.

Questioner: Is the veil supposed to be what I would call semi-permeable?

Ra: I am Ra. The veil is indeed so.

Questioner: What techniques and methods of penetration of the veil were planned and are there any others that have occurred other that those planned?

Ra: I am Ra. There were none planned by the first great experiment. 

As all experiments, this rested upon the nakedness of hypothesis. 

The outcome was unknown. 

It was discovered, experientially and empirically, that there were as many ways to penetrate the veil as the imagination of mind/body/spirit complexes could provide. 

The desire of mind/body/spirit complexes to know that which was unknown drew to them the dreaming and the gradual opening to the seeker of all of the balancing mechanisms leading to adepthood and communication with teach/learners which could pierce this veil.

The various unmanifested activities of the self were found to be productive in some degree of penetration of the veil. 

In general, we may say that by far the most vivid and even extravagant opportunities for the piercing of the veil are a result of the interaction of polarized entities.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 85

Questioner: After the veiling process certain veiled functions or activities must have been paramount in creating evolution in the desired polarized directions. 

I was just wondering which of these had the greatest effect on polarization?

Ra: I am Ra. The most effectual veiling was that of the mind.

Questioner: I would like to carry that on to find out what specific functions of the mind were most effectual and the three or four most effective changes brought about to create the polarization.

Ra: I am Ra. This is an interesting query. 

The primary veiling was of such significance that it may be seen to be analogous to the mantling of the Earth over all the jewels within the Earth’s crust; whereas previously all facets of the Creator were consciously known. 

After the veiling, almost no facets of the Creator were known to the mind. 

Almost all was buried beneath the veil.

If one were to attempt to list those functions of mind most significant in that they might be of aid in polarization, one would need to begin with the faculty of visioning, envisioning, or far-seeing. 

Without the veil the mind was not caught in your illusory time. 

With the veil space/time is the only obvious possibility for experience.

Also upon the list of significant veiled functions of the mind would be that of dreaming.

The so-called dreaming contains a great deal which, if made available to the conscious mind and used, shall aid it in polarization to a great extent.

The third function of the mind which is significant and which has been veiled is that of the knowing of the body. 

The knowledge of and control over the body, having been lost to a great extent in the veiling process, is thusly lost from the experience of the seeker. 

Its knowledge before the veiling is of small use. 

Its knowledge after the veiling, and in the face of what is now a dense illusion of separation of body complex from mind complex, is quite significant.

Perhaps the most important and significant function that occurred due to the veiling of the mind from itself is not in itself a function of mind but rather is a product of the potential created by this veiling. 

This is the faculty of will or pure desire.

We may ask for brief queries at this time. 

Although there is energy remaining for this working, we are reluctant to continue this contact, experiencing continual variations due to pain flares, as you call this distortion. 

Although we are unaware of any misgiven material we are aware that there have been several points during which our channel was less than optimal.

This instrument is most faithful but we do not wish to misuse this instrument. 

Please query as you will.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 86

Questioner: In the last session you had mentioned the properties precipitating from the veiling of the mind; the first being envisioning or farseeing.

Would you explain the meaning of that?

Ra: I am Ra. Your language is not overstrewn with non-emotional terms for the functional qualities of what is now termed unconscious mind.

The nature of mind is something which we have requested that you ponder.

However, it is, shall we say, clear enough to the casual observer that we may share some thoughts with you without infringing upon your free learn/teaching experiences.

The nature of the unconscious is of the nature of concept rather than word.

Consequently, before the veiling the use of the deeper mind was that of the use of unspoken concept.

You may consider the emotive and connotative aspects of a melody.

One could call out, in some stylized fashion, the terms for the notes of the melody.

One could say, quarter note A, quarter note A, quarter note A, whole note F.

This bears little resemblance to the beginning of the melody of one of your composer’s most influential melodies, that known to you as a symbol of victory.

This is the nature of the deeper mind.

There are only stylized methods with which to discuss its functions.

Thusly our descriptions of this portion of the mind, as well as the same portions of body and spirit, were given terms such as “far-seeing,” indicating that the nature of penetration of the veiled portion of the mind may be likened unto the journey too rich and exotic to contemplate adequate describing thereof.

Questioner: You have stated that dreaming, if made available to the conscious mind, will aid greatly in polarization.

Could you define dreaming or tell us what it is and how it aids polarization?

Ra: I am Ra. Dreaming is an activity of communication through the veil of the unconscious mind and the conscious mind.

The nature of this activity is wholly dependent upon the situation regarding the energy center blockages, activations, and crystallizations of a given mind/body/spirit complex. 

In one who is blocked at two of the three lower energy centers
dreaming will be of value in the polarization process in that there will be a repetition of those portions of recent catalyst as well as deeper held blockages, thereby giving the waking mind clues as to the nature of these blockages and hints as to possible changes in perception which may lead to the unblocking.

This type of dreaming or communication through the veiled portions of the mind occurs also with those mind/body/spirit complexes which are functioning with far less blockage and enjoying the green-ray activation or higher activation at those times at which the mind/body/spirit complex experiences catalyst, momentarily reblocking or baffling or otherwise distorting the flow of energy influx.

Therefore, in all cases it is useful to a mind/body/spirit complex to ponder the content and emotive resonance of dreams.

For those whose green-ray energy centers have been activated as well as for those whose green-ray energy centers are offered an unusual unblockage due to extreme catalyst, such as what is termed the physical death of the self or one which is beloved occurring in what you may call your near future, dreaming takes on another activity.

This is what may loosely be termed precognition or a knowing which is prior to that which shall occur in physical manifestation in your yellow-ray third-density space/time.

This property of the mind depends upon its placement, to a great extent, in time/space so that the terms of present and future and past have no meaning.

This will, if made proper use of by the mind/body/spirit complex, enable this entity to enter more fully into the all-compassionate love of each and every circumstance including those circumstances against which an entity may have a strong distortion towards what you may call unhappiness.

As a mind/body/spirit complex consciously chooses the path of the adept and, with each energy balanced to a minimal degree, begins to open the indigo-ray energy center the so-called dreaming becomes the most efficient tool for polarization, for, if it is known by the adept that work may be done in consciousness while the so-called conscious mind rests, this adept may call upon those which guide it, those presences which surround it, and, most of all, the magical personality which is the higher self in space/time analog as it moves into the sleeping mode of consciousness.

With these affirmations attended to, the activity of dreaming reaches that potential of learn/teaching which is most helpful to increasing the distortions of the adept towards its chosen polarity.

There are other possibilities of the dreaming not so closely aligned with the increase in polarity which we do not cover at this particular space/time.

Questioner: How is the dream designed or programmed?

Is it done by the higher self, or who is responsible for this?

Ra: I am Ra. In all cases the mind/body/spirit complex makes what use it can of the faculty of the dreaming.

It, itself, is responsible for this activity.

Questioner: Then you are saying that the subconscious is responsible for what I will call the design or scriptwriter for the dream. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: Is the memory that the individual has upon waking from the dream usually reasonably accurate?

Is the dream easily remembered?

Ra: I am Ra. You must realize that we are over-generalizing in order to answer your queries as there are several sorts of dreams.

However, in general, it may be noted that it is only for a trained and disciplined observer to have reasonably good recall of the dreaming.

This faculty may be learned by virtue of a discipline of the recording immediately upon awakening of each and every detail which can be recalled.

This training sharpens one’s ability to recall the dream.

The most common perception of a mind/body/spirit complex of dreams is muddied, muddled, and quickly lost.

Questioner: In remembering dreams, then, you are saying that the individual can find specific clues to current energy center blockages and may, thereby, reduce or eliminate those blockages. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is so.

Questioner: Is there any other function of dreaming that is of value in the evolutionary process?

Ra: I am Ra. Although there are many which are of some value we would choose two to note, since these two, though not of value in polarization, may be of value in a more generalized sense.

The activity of dreaming is an activity in which there is made a finely wrought and excellently fashioned bridge from conscious to unconscious.

In this state the various distortions which have occurred in the energy web of the body complex, due to the misprision with which energy influxes have been received, are healed.

With the proper amount of dreaming comes the healing of these distortions.

Continued lack of this possibility can cause seriously distorted mind/body/spirit complexes.

The other function of the dreaming which is of aid is that type of dream which is visionary and which prophets and mystics have experienced from days of old.

Their visions come through the roots of mind and speak to a hungry world.

Thus the dream is of service without being of a personally polarizing nature.

However, in that mystic or prophet who desires to serve, such service will increase the entity’s polarity.

Questioner: There is a portion of sleep that has been called REM.

Is this the state of dreaming?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: It was noticed that this occurs in small units during the night with gaps in between.

Is there any particular reason for this?

Ra: I am Ra. Yes.

Questioner: If it is of any value to know that would you tell me why the dreaming process works like that?

Ra: I am Ra. The portions of the dreaming process which are helpful for polarization and also for the vision of the mystic take place in time/space and, consequently, use the bridge from metaphysical to physical for what seems to be a brief period of your space/time.

The time/space equivalent is far greater.

The bridge remains, however, and traduces each distortion of mind, body, and spirit as it has received the distortions of energy influxes so that healing may take place.

This healing process does not occur with the incidence of rapid eye movement but rather occurs largely in the space/time portion of the mind/body/spirit complex using the bridge to time/space for the process of healing to be enabled.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 95

Questioner: Thank you.

A question has been asked which I will ask at this time.

In processing the catalyst of dreams is there a universal language of the unconscious mind which may be used to interpret dreams, or does each entity have a unique language in its own unconscious mind which it may use to interpret the meaning of dreams?

Ra: I am Ra. There is what might be called a partial vocabulary of the dreams due to the common heritage of all mind/body/spirit complexes.

Due to each entity’s unique incarnational experiences there is an overlay which grows to be a larger and larger proportion of the dream vocabulary as the entity gains experience.
