What is a "Social Memory Complex"?

The Law of One, Book I, Session 6

Questioner: What is the position of this planet with respect to the progression of cycles at this time?

Ra: I am Ra. This sphere is at this time in fourth-dimension vibration. 

Its material is quite confused due to the society memory complexes embedded in its consciousness. 

It has not made an easy transition to the vibrations which beckon. 

Therefore, it will be fetched with some inconvenience.

The Law of One, Book I, Session 7

Questioner: What is the density of the Orion group?

Ra: I am Ra. Like the Confederation, the densities of the mass consciousnesses which comprise that group are varied. 

There are 
a very few third density, 
a larger number of fourth density, 
a similarly large number of fifth density, and 
very few sixth-density entities comprising this organization. 

Their numbers are perhaps one-tenth ours at any point in the space/time continuum as the problem of spiritual entropy causes them to experience constant disintegration of their social memory complexes. 

Their power is the same as ours. 

The Law of One blinks neither at the light nor the darkness, but is available for service to others and service to self.

However, service to others results in service to self, thus preserving and further harmonizing the distortions of those entities seeking intelligent infinity through these disciplines. 

Those seeking intelligent infinity through the use of service to self create the same amount of power but, as we said, have constant difficulty because of the concept of separation which is implicit in the manifestations of the service to self which involve power over others. 

This weakens and eventually disintegrates the energy collected by such mind/body/spirit complexes who call the Orion group and the social memory complexes which comprise the Orion group.

It should be noted, carefully pondered, and accepted, that the Law of One is available to any social memory complex which has decided to strive together for any seeking of purpose, be it service to others or service to self.

The laws, which are the primal distortions of the Law of One, then are placed into operation and the illusion of space/time is used as a medium for the development of the results of those choices freely made. 

Thus all entities learn, no matter what they seek. 

All learn the same, some rapidly, some slowly.

The Law of One, Book V, Fragment 3, Session 8
January 26, 1981

Questioner: There was a portion of the material from yesterday which I will read where you say

“There is a certain amount of landing taking place.

Some of these landings are of your own people; some are of the group known to you as Orion.”

My first question is what did you mean that some of the landings are of your peoples?

Ra: I am Ra. Your peoples have, at this time/space present, the technological achievement, if you would call it that, of being able to create and fly the shape and type of craft known to you as unidentified flying objects.

Unfortunately for the social memory complex vibratory rate of your peoples, these devices are not intended for the service of mankind, but for potential destructive use. 

This further muddles the vibratory nexus of your social memory complex, causing a situation where neither those oriented towards serving others nor those oriented towards serving self can gain the energy/power which opens the gates to intelligent infinity for the social memory complex.

This in turn causes the harvest to be small.

The Law of One, Book I, Session 11

Questioner: Who went to the Orion group?

Ra: I am Ra. The one known as Genghis Khan.

Questioner: What does he presently do there? 

What is his job or occupation?

Ra: I am Ra. This entity serves the Creator in its own way.

Questioner: Is it impossible for you to tell us precisely how he does this service?

Ra: I am Ra. It is possible for us to speak to this query. 

However, we use any chance we may have to reiterate the basic understanding/learning that all beings serve the Creator.

The one you speak of as Genghis Khan, 
at present, is incarnate in a physical light body which has the work of disseminating material of thought control to those who are what you may call crusaders. 

He is, as you would term this entity, a shipping clerk.

Questioner: What do the crusaders do?

Ra: I am Ra. The crusaders move in their chariots to conquer planetary mind/body/spirit social complexes before they reach the stage of achieving social memory.

Questioner: At what stage does a planet achieve social memory?

Ra: I am Ra.

A mind/body/spirit social complex becomes a social memory complex 
when its entire group of entities are of one orientation or seeking.

The group memory lost to the individuals in the roots of the tree of mind then becomes known to the social complex, thus creating a social memory complex. 

The advantages of this complex are 
the relative lack of distortion in understanding the social beingness and
the relative lack of distortion in pursuing the direction of seeking, 

for all understanding/distortions are available to the entities of the society.

Questioner: Then we have crusaders from Orion coming to this planet for mind control purposes. 

How do they do this?

Ra: I am Ra. As all, they follow the Law of One observing free will. 

Contact is made with those who call. 

Those then upon the planetary sphere act much as do you to disseminate the attitudes and philosophy of their particular understanding of the Law of One which is service to self. 

These become the elite. 

Through these, the attempt begins to create a condition whereby the remainder of the planetary entities are enslaved by their free will.

The Law of One, Book I, Session 13

Questioner: How does a third-density planet become a fourth density planet?

Ra: I am Ra. This will be the last full question.

The fourth density is, as we have said, as regularized in its approach as the striking of a clock upon the hour. 

The space/time of your solar system has enabled this planetary sphere to spiral into space/time of a different vibrational configuration. 

This causes the planetary sphere to be able to be molded by these new distortions. 

However, the thought-forms of your people during this transition period are such that the mind/body/spirit complexes of both individual and societies are scattered throughout the spectrum instead of becoming able to grasp the needle, shall we say, and point the compass in one direction.

Thus, the entry into the vibration of love, sometimes called by your people the vibration of understanding, is not effective with your present societal complex. 

Thus, the harvest shall be such that many will repeat the third-density cycle. 

The energies of your Wanderers, your teachers, and your adepts at this time are all bent upon increasing the harvest. 

However, there are few to harvest.

The Law of One, Book I, Session 16

Questioner: I would like to ask, considering the free will distortion of the Law of One, how can the Guardians quarantine the Earth?

Is this quarantine within free will?

Ra: I am Ra. The Guardians guard the free will distortion of the mind/body/spirit complexes of third density on this planetary sphere.

The events which required activation of quarantine were interfering with the free will distortion of mind/body/spirit complexes.

Questioner: I may be wrong, but it seems to me that it would be the free will of, say the Orion group, to interfere.

How is this balanced with the information which you just gave?

Ra: I am Ra. The balancing is from dimension to dimension.

The attempts of the so-called Crusaders to interfere with free will are acceptable upon the dimension of their understanding.

However, the mind/body/spirit complexes of this dimension you call third form a dimension of free will which is not able to, shall we say, recognize in full, the distortions towards manipulation.

Thus, in order to balance the dimensional variances in vibration, a quarantine, this being a balancing situation whereby the free will of the Orion group is not stopped but given a challenge.

Meanwhile, the third group is not hindered from free choice.

Questioner: Could these “windows” that occur to let the Orion group come through once in a while have anything to do with this free will balancing?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: Could you tell me how that works?

Ra: I am Ra. The closest analogy would be a random number generator within certain limits.

Questioner: What is the source of this random number generator?

Is it created by the Guardians to balance their guarding?

Or is it a source other than the Guardians?

Ra: I am Ra. All sources are one.

However, we understand your query.

The window phenomenon is an other-self phenomenon from the Guardians.

It operates from the dimensions beyond space/time in what you may call the area of intelligent energy.

Like your cycles, such balancing, such rhythms are as a clock striking.

In the case of the windows, no entities have the clock.
Therefore, it seems random.

It is not random in the dimension which produces this balance.

That is why we stated the analogy was within certain limits.

Questioner: Then this window balancing prevents the Guardians from reducing their positive polarization by totally eliminating the Orion contact through shielding. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is partially correct.

In effect, the balancing allows an equal amount of positive and negative influx, this balanced by the mind/body/spirit distortions of the social complex.

Thus in your particular planetary sphere, less negative, as you would call it, information or stimulus is necessary than positive due to the somewhat negative orientation of your social complex distortion.

Questioner: In this way, total free will is balanced so that individuals may have an equal opportunity to choose service to others or service to self. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: This is a profound revelation, I believe, in the Law of Free Will.

Thank you.

 The Law of One, Book V, Fragment 27

Questioner: Can you tell me what is the purpose or philosophy behind the fourth, fifth, and sixth-density positive and negative social memory complexes?

Ra: I am Ra. The basic purpose of a social memory complex is that of evolution. 

Beyond a certain point the evolution of spirit is quite dependent upon the understanding of self and other-self as Creator. 

This constitutes the basis for social complexes. 

When brought to maturity, they become social memory complexes.

The fourth density and sixth density find these quite necessary. 

The fifth positive 
uses social memory in attaining wisdom, though this is done individually. 

In fifth negative 
much is done without aid of others. 

This is the last query as this instrument needs to be protected from depletion. 

Are there brief queries before we close?

The Law of One, Book II, Session 37 

Questioner: Does each entity have an individual mind/body/spirit complex totality or do a number of entities share the same mind/body/spirit complex totality?

Ra: I am Ra. Both of these statements are correct given the appropriate time/space conditions. 

Each entity has its totality and at the point at which a planetary entity becomes a social memory complex the totality of this union of entities also has its Oversoul and its social memory complex totality as resource. 

As always, the sum, spiritually speaking, is greater than the sum of its parts so that the Oversoul of a social memory complex is not the sum of the Oversouls of its member entities but operates upon the way of what we have called squares and what we grasp you prefer to call doubling.

The Law of One, Book II, Session 38

Questioner: Is it possible for a third-density planet to form a social memory complex which operates in third-density?

Ra: I am Ra. It is possible only in the latter or seventh portion of such a density when entities are harmoniously readying for graduation.

Questioner: Could you give me an example of a planet of this nature, both a third-density service-to-others type and a third-density service-to-self type at this level of attainment?

Ra: I am Ra. As far as we are aware there are no negatively oriented third-density social memory complexes. 

Positively oriented social memory complexes of third-density are not unheard of but quite rare. 

However, an entity from the star Sirius’ planetary body has approached this planetary body twice. 

This entity is late third-density and is part of a third-density social memory complex. 

This has been referred to in the previous material.

The social memory complex is properly a fourth-density phenomenon.

The Law of One, Book II, Session 47

Questioner: The question that I was trying to ask at the end of the last session was: 

Of what value to evolution or experience with respect to the Creator knowing Itself are the positive and negative social memory complexes that form starting in fourth density, and why was this planned by the Logos?

Ra: I am Ra. There are inherent incorrectness in your query. 

However, we may answer the main point of it.

The incorrectness lies in the consideration that social memory complexes were planned by the Logos or sub-Logos. 

This is incorrect, as the unity of the Creator exists within the smallest portion of any material created by Love, much less in a self-aware being.

However, the distortion of free will causes the social memory complex to appear as a possibility at a certain stage of evolution of mind. 

The purpose, or consideration which causes entities to form such complexes, of these social memory complexes, is a very simple extension of the basic distortion towards the Creator’s knowing of Itself, for when a group of mind/body/spirits becomes able to form a social memory complex, all experience of each entity is available to the whole of the complex. 

Thus the Creator knows more of Its creation in each entity partaking of this communion of entities.

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.
