The 'Trance' State: The Danger of Positive Entity Being Lured into Negative Path

The Law of One, Book III, Session 68

Questioner: The primary reason that we decided to have this session today is that I might not be around for a while and I had a pressing question about what happened Sunday night when, apparently, the instrument was slipping into a trance state during one of the normal Sunday night meditations, and I would like to question you on this. Can you give me information about what happened?

Ra: I am Ra. We can.

Questioner: Would you tell me what happened in that case?

Ra: I am Ra. We have instructed this instrument to refrain from calling us unless it is within this set of circumscribed circumstances.

In the event of which you speak this instrument was asked a question which pertained to what you have been calling the Ra Material.

This instrument was providing the voice for our brothers and sisters of the wisdom density known to you as Latwii.

This instrument thought to itself, “I do not know this answer. I wish I were channeling Ra.”

The ones of Latwii found themselves in the position of being approached by the Orion entity which seeks to be of service in its own way.

The instrument began to prepare for Ra contact.

Latwii knew that if this was completed the Orion entity would have an opportunity which Latwii wished to avoid.

It is fortunate for this instrument,

firstly, that
Latwii is of fifth-density and able to deal with that particular vibratory complex which the Orion entity was manifesting and,

secondly, that
there were those in the support group at that time which sent great amounts of support to the instrument in this crux.

Thus what occurred was the ones of Latwii never let go of this instrument although this came perilously close to breaking the Way of Confusion.

It continued to hold its connection with the mind/body/spirit complex of the instrument and to generate information through it even as the instrument began to slip out of its physical vehicle.

The act of continued communication caused the entity to be unable to grasp the instrument’s mind/body/spirit complex and after but a small measure of your space/time Latwii recovered the now completely amalgamated instrument and gave it continued communication to steady it during the transition back into integration.

Questioner: Could you tell me what the plan of the fifth-density negatively oriented entity was and how it would have accomplished it and what the results would have been if it had worked?

Ra: I am Ra. The plan, which is on-going, was to take the mind/body/spirit complex while it was separated from its yellow body physical complex shell, to then place this mind/body/spirit complex within the negative portions of your time/space. 

The shell would then become that of the unknowing, unconscious entity and could be, shall we say, worked upon to cause malfunction which would end in coma and then in what you call the death of the body. 

At this point the higher self of the instrument would have the choice of leaving the mind/body/spirit complex in negative sp—we correct—time/space or of allowing incarnation in space/time of equivalent vibration and polarity distortions. 

Thus this entity would become a negatively polarized entity without the advantage of native negative polarization. 

It would find a long path to the Creator under these circumstances although the path would inevitably end well.

Questioner: Then you are saying that if this fifth-density negative entity is successful in its attempts to transfer the mind/body/spirit complex when that complex is in what we call the trance state to negatively polarized time/space, then the higher self has no choice but to allow incarnation in negatively polarized space/time? 

Is that correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect. 

The higher self could allow the mind/body/spirit complex to remain in time/space. 

However, it is unlikely that the higher self would do so indefinitely due to its distortion towards the belief that the function of the mind/body/spirit complex is to experience and learn from other-selves thus experiencing the Creator. 

A highly polarized positive mind/body/spirit complex surrounded by negative portions of space/time will experience only darkness, for like the magnet, there is no, shall we say, likeness. 

Thus a barrier is automatically formed.

Questioner: Let me be sure that I understand you. 

Is that darkness experienced in negative space/time or in negative time/space?

Ra: I am Ra. Negative time/space.

Questioner: Incarnation in negative space/time then in a condition like that would result in incarnation into which density level for, let us take as an example, the instrument?

Ra: I am Ra. The answer to this query violates the first distortion.

Questioner: OK then, let’s not take the instrument as an example. 

Let’s assume that this was done to a Wanderer of sixth-density. 

If this answer violates the first distortion, don’t answer. But let’s say a sixth-density Wanderer had this happen and went into negative time/space. 

Would that be a sixth-density negative time/space, and would he incarnate into sixthdensity negative space/time?

Ra: I am Ra. Your assumption is correct. 

The strength of the polarization would be matched as far as possible. 

In some positive sixth-density Wanderers the approximation would not quite be complete due to the paucity of negative sixth-density energy fields of the equivalent strength.

Questioner: Is the reason that this could be done the fact that the Wanderer’s mind/body/spirit complex extracted in what we call the trance state, leaving the third-density physical, in this state the Wanderer does not have the full capability to magically defend itself? Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. In the case of this instrument, this is correct. 

This is also correct when applied almost without exception to those instruments working in trance which have not consciously experienced magical training in time/space in the, shall we say, present incarnation. 

The entities of your density capable of magical defense in this situation are extremely rare.

Questioner: It would seem to me that since I can’t imagine anything worse than this particular result it would be very advisable to seek the magical training and defense for this situation. 

Could Ra and would Ra instruct us in this type of magical defense?

Ra: I am Ra. This request lies beyond the first distortion. 

The entity seeking magical ability must do so in a certain manner. 

We may give instructions of a general nature. 

This we have already done. 

The instrument has begun the process of balancing the self. 

This is a lengthy process.

To take an entity before it is ready and offer it the scepter of magical power is to infringe in an unbalanced manner. 

We may suggest with some asperity that the instrument never call upon Ra in any way while unprotected by the configuration which is at this time present.

Questioner: I think that it is important for me to investigate the techniques, if they are within the first distortion, of the fifth-density entity who wishes to displace the mind/body/spirit complexes of this group. 

Am I within the first distortion in asking you to describe how this entity goes about this working?

Ra: I am Ra. You are.

Questioner: Well, then, how does this fifth-density entity go about this working from the very start of being alerted to the fact that we exist?

Ra: I am Ra. The entity becomes aware of power. 

This power has the capacity of energizing those which may be available for harvest. 

This entity is desirous of disabling this power source. 

It sends its legions.

Temptations are offered. 
They are ignored or rejected. 

The power source persists and indeed improves its inner connections of harmony and love of service.

The entity determines that it must needs attempt the disabling itself. 

By means of projection 
it enters the vicinity of this power source. 
It assesses the situation. 

It is bound by the first distortion but may take advantage of any free will distortion. 

The free will, preincarnative distortions of the instrument with regards to the physical vehicle seem the most promising target. 

Any distortion away from service-to-others is also appropriate.

When the instrument leaves its physical vehicle it does so freely. 

Thus the displacement of the mind/body/spirit complex of the instrument would not be a violation of its free will if it followed the entity freely. 

This is the process.

We are aware of your pressing desire to know how to become impervious as a group to any influences such as this. 

The processes which you seek are a matter of your free choice. 

You are aware of the principles of magical work.

We cannot speak to advise but can only suggest, as we have before, that it would be appropriate for this group to embark upon such a path as a group, but not individually, for obvious reasons.

Questioner: I am interested as to how the first distortion applies to the negatively polarized entity misplacing the mind/body/spirit complex. 

Why is the negatively polarized entity followed to the place of negative time/space? 

Why would one of us freely follow the entity?

Ra: I am Ra. The positive polarity sees love in all things. 

The negative polarity is clever.

Questioner: Then I am assuming if the negative polarity used any other approach that did not use the free will of the other-self, he would lose polarization and magical power. 

This is correct, isn’t it?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. 

The transferred energy grows low. 

We wish to close. 

Are there any short queries before we leave this instrument?

The Law of One, Book III, Session 69

Ra: I am Ra. I greet you in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator.

Before we proceed may we make a small request for future workings.

At this particular working there is some slight interference with the contact due to the hair of the instrument.

We may suggest the combing of this antenna-like material into a more orderly configuration prior to the working.

We communicate now.

Questioner: A question which I didn’t get to ask at the previous session and which I will be forced to ask at this time is, is the trance state the only state in which a mind/body/spirit positive entity may be lured by a negative entity or adept to negative time/space configuration?

Ra: I am Ra. This is a misperceived concept.

The mind/body/spirit complex which freely leaves the third-density physical complex is vulnerable when the appropriate protection is not at hand.

You may perceive carefully that very few entities which choose to leave their physical complexes are doing work of such a nature as to attract the polarized attention of negatively oriented entities.

The danger to most in trance state, as you term the physical complex being left,
is the touching of the physical complex in such a manner as to attract the mind/body/spirit complex back thereunto or to damage the means by which that which you call ectoplasm is being recalled.

This instrument is an anomaly in that it is well that the instrument not be touched or artificial light thrown upon it while in the trance state.

However, the ectoplasmic activity is interiorized.

The main difficulty, as you are aware, is then the previously discussed negative removal of the entity under its free will.

That this can happen only in the trance state is not completely certain, but it is highly probable that in another out-of-body experience such as death the entity here examined would, as most positively polarized entities, have a great deal of protection from comrades, guides, and portions of the self which would be aware of the transfer you call the physical death.

Questioner: Then you are saying that the protective friends, we will call them, would be available in every condition except for what we call the trance state which seems to be anomalistic with respect to the others.

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: Why is this trance state, as we call it, different?

Why are there not entities available in this particular state?

Ra: I am Ra. The uniqueness of this situation is not the lack of friends, for this, as all entities, has its guides or angelic presences and, due to polarization, teachers and friends also.

The unique characteristic of the workings which the social memory complex Ra and your group have begun is the intent to serve others with the highest attempt at near purity which we as comrades may achieve.

This has alerted a much more determined friend of negative polarity which is interested in removing this particular opportunity.

We may say once again two notes:

Firstly,
we searched long to find an appropriate channel or instrument and an appropriate support group.

If this opportunity is ended we shall be grateful for that which has been done, but the possibility/probability vortices indicating the location of this configuration again are slight.

Secondly,
we thank you for we know what you sacrifice in order to do that which you as a group wish to do.

We will not deplete this instrument in so far as we are able.

We have attempted to speak of how the instrument may deplete itself through too great a dedication to the working.

All these things and all else we have said has been heard.

We are thankful.

In the present situation we express thanks to the entities who call themselves Latwii.

Questioner: Do I understand, then, that death, whether it is by natural means or accidental means or suicide, that all deaths of this type would create the same after-death condition which would avail the entity to its protection from friends?

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. We presume you mean to inquire whether in the death experience, no matter what the cause, the negative friends are not able to remove an entity.

This is correct largely because the entity without the attachment to the space/time physical complex is far more aware and without the gullibility which is somewhat the hallmark of those who love wholeheartedly.

However,

the death, if natural,
would undoubtedly be the more harmonious;

the death by murder
being confused and the entity needing some time/space in which to get its bearings, so to speak;

the death by suicide
causing the necessity for much healing work and, shall we say, the making of a dedication to the third-density for the renewed opportunity of learning the lessons set by the higher self.

Questioner: Is this also true of unconscious conditions due to accident, or medical anesthetic, or drugs?

Ra: I am Ra. Given that the entity is not attempting to be of service in this particular way which is proceeding now, the entities of negative orientation would not find it possible to remove the mind/body/spirit.

The unique characteristic, as we have said, which is, shall we say, dangerous is the willing of the mind/body/spirit complex outward from the physical complex of third-density for the purpose of service-to-others.

In any other situation this circumstance would not be in effect.

Questioner: Would this be a function of the balancing action of the first distortion?

Ra: I am Ra. Your query is somewhat opaque.

Please restate for specificity.

Questioner: I was just guessing that since the mind/body/spirit complex’s will from the third-density body for a particular duty or service-to-others would then create a situation primarily with respect to the first distortion where the opportunity for balancing this service by the negative service would be available and, therefore, magically possible for the intrusion of the other polarization.

Is this thinking at all correct?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

The free will of the instrument is indeed a necessary part of the opportunity afforded the Orion group.

However, this free will and the first distortion applies only to the instrument.

The entire hope of the Orion group is to infringe upon free will without losing polarity.

Thus this group, if represented by a wise entity, attempts to be clever.

Questioner: Has a Wanderer ever been so infringed upon by a negative adept and then placed in negative time/space?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: Can you tell me the situation that the Wanderer finds himself in and the path back, why that path could not be the simple moving back into positive time/space?

Ra: I am Ra. The path back revolves, firstly, about the higher self’s reluctance to enter negative space/time.

This may be a significant part of the length of that path.

Secondly, when a positively oriented entity incarnates in a thoroughly negative environment it must needs learn/teach the lessons of the love of self thus becoming one with its other-selves.

When this has been accomplished the entity may then choose to release the potential difference and change polarities.

However, the process of learning the accumulated lessons of love of self may be quite lengthy.

Also the entity, in learning these lessons, may lose much positive orientation during the process and the choice of reversing polarities may be delayed until the mid-sixth-density.

All of this is, in your way of measurement, time-consuming although the end result is well.

Questioner: Is it possible to tell me roughly how many Wanderers who have come to this planet during this master cycle have experienced this displacement into a negative time/space?

Ra: I am Ra. We can note the number of such occurrences.

There has been only one.

We cannot, due to the Law of Confusion, discuss the entity.

Questioner: You said that the higher self is reluctant to enter negative space/time. Is that correct?

Ra: I am Ra. The incarnative process involves being incarnated from time/space to space/time.

This is correct.

Questioner: I will make this statement and see if I am correct.

When first moved into time/space of a negative polarization the positive entity experiences nothing but darkness.

Then, by incarnation into negative space/time by the higher self, it experiences a negative space/time environment with negatively polarized other-selves.

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: It would seem to me that it would be an extremely difficult situation for the positively polarized entity and the learning process would be extremely traumatic. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. Let us say that the positively polarized individual makes a poor student of the love of self and thus spends much more time, if you will, than those native to that pattern of vibrations.

Questioner: I am assuming that this displacement must be a function of his free will in some way. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is absolutely correct.

Questioner: This is a point that I find quite confusing to me.

It is the function of the free will of the positively oriented entity to move into the negatively polarized time/space.

However, it is also a function of his lack of understanding of what he is doing.

I am sure that if the entity had full understanding of what he was doing he would not do it.

It is a function of his negatively polarized other-self creating a situation where he is lured to that configuration.

What is the principle with respect to the first distortion that allows this to occur since we have two portions of the Creator, each of equal value or of equal potential, but oppositely polarized and we have this situation resulting.

Could you tell me the philosophical principle behind this particular act?

Ra: I am Ra.

There are two important points in this regard.

Firstly,
we may note the situation wherein an entity gets a road-map which is poorly marked and in fact is quite incorrect.

The entity sets out to its destination.
It wishes only to reach the point of destination but, becoming confused by the faulty authority and not knowing the territory through which it drives, it becomes hopelessly lost.

Free will does not mean that there will be no circumstances when calculations will be awry.

This is so in all aspects of the life experience.

Although there are no mistakes, there are surprises.

Secondly,
that which we and you do in workings such as this carries a magical charge, if you would use this much misunderstood term, perhaps we may say a metaphysical power.

Those who do work of power are available for communication to and from entities of roughly similar power.

It is fortunate that the Orion entity does not have the native power of this group.

However, it is quite disciplined whereas this group lacks the finesse equivalent to its power.

Each is working in consciousness but the group has not begun a work as a group.

The individual work is helpful for the group is mutually an aid, one to another.

Questioner: This instrument performs services that involve channeling other members of the Confederation.

We are reluctant to continue this because of the possibility of her slipping into trance and being offered the services of the negatively polarized entity or adept.

Are there any safeguards to create a situation whereby she cannot go into trance other than at a protected working such as this one?

Ra: I am Ra.

There are three.

Firstly,
the instrument must needs improve the disciplined subconscious taboo against requesting Ra.
This would involve daily conscious and serious thought.

The second safeguard
is the refraining from the opening of the instrument to questions and answers for the present.

The third is quite gross in its appearance
but suffices to keep the instrument in its physical complex.
The hand may be held.

Questioner: Are you saying, then, that just by holding the instrument’s hand during the channeling sessions this would prevent trance?

Ra: I am Ra. This would prevent those levels of meditation which necessarily precede trance.

Also in the event that, unlikely as it might seem, the entity grew able to leave the physical complex the auric infringement and tactile pressure would cause the mind/body/spirit complex to refrain from leaving.

We may note that long practice at the art which each intuits here would be helpful.

We cannot speak of methodology for the infringement would be most great.

However, to speak of group efforts is, as we scan each, merely confirmation of what is known.

Therefore, this we may do.

We have the available energy for one fairly brief query.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 72

Questioner: Can you tell me what caused the instrument to become in a condition toward unconsciousness in the last two meditations prior to this one to such an extent that we discontinued them?

Ra: I am Ra. We can.

Questioner: Would you please tell me then?

Ra: I am Ra. The entity which greets this instrument from the Orion group first attempted to cause the mind/body/spirit complex, which you may call spirit, to leave the physical complex of yellow-ray in the deluded belief that it was preparing for the Ra contact.

You are familiar with this tactic and its consequences.

The instrument, with no pause, upon feeling this greeting, called for the grounding within the physical complex by requesting that the hand be held.

Thus the greatest aim of the Orion entity was not achieved.

However, it discovered that those present were not capable of distinguishing between unconsciousness with the mind/body/spirit intact and the trance state in which the mind/body/spirit complex is not present.

Therefore, it applied to the fullest extent the greeting which causes the dizziness and in meditation without protection caused, in this instrument, simple unconsciousness as in what you would call fainting or vertigo.

The Orion entity consequently used this tactic to stop the Ra contact from having the opportunity to be accomplished.

Questioner: The instrument has scheduled an operation on her hand next month.

If the general anesthetic is used to produce the unconscious state will this or any other parameters of the operation allow for any inroads by the Orion entities?

Ra: I am Ra. It is extremely improbable due to the necessity for the intention of the mind/body/spirit complex, when departing the yellow-ray physical complex, to be serving the Creator in the most specific fashion.

The attitude of one approaching such an experience as you describe would not be approaching the unconscious state with such an attitude.

Questioner: We have included “Shin” in the banishing ritual, ”Yod-Heh-Vau-Heh” to make it ”Yod-Heh-Shin-Vau-Heh.” 

Is this helpful?

Ra: I am Ra. This is helpful especially to the instrument whose distortions vibrate greatly in congruency with this sound vibration complex.

Questioner: We will in the future have group meditations. 

I am concerned about protection for the instrument if she is once more a channel in these meditations. 

Is there an optimum time or limiting amount of time for the banishing ritual to be effective, or 
if we continued daily to purify the place of working with the banishing ritual would this carry over for long periods of time, 
or must the ritual be done immediately prior to the meditations?

Ra: I am Ra. Your former assumption is more nearly correct.

Questioner: Is there any danger now, with the precautions that we are taking, of the instrument being led away by the Orion entity?

Ra: I am Ra. The opportunities for the Orion entity are completely dependent upon the instrument’s condition of awareness and readiness. 

We would suggest that this instrument is still too much the neophyte to open its self to questions since that is the format used by Ra. 

As the instrument grows in awareness this precaution may become unnecessary.

Questioner: Why is there no protection at the floor or bottom of the banishing ritual, and should there be?

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

The development of the psychic greeting is possible only through the energy centers starting from a station which you might call within the violet-ray moving through the adept’s energy center and therefrom towards the target of opportunity. 

Depending upon the vibratory nature and purpose of greeting, be it positive or negative, the entity will be energized or blocked in the desired way.

We of Ra approach this instrument in narrow band contact through violet-ray. 

Others might pierce down through this ray to any energy center. 

We, for instance, 
make great use of this instrument’s blue-ray energy center as we are attempting to communicate our distortion/understandings of the Law of One.

The entity of Orion 
pierces the same violet-ray and moves to two places to attempt most of its non-physical opportunities. 

It activates the green-ray energy center while further blocking indigo-ray energy center. 

This combination causes confusion in the instrument and subsequent overactivity in unwise proportions in physical complex workings. 

It simply seeks out the distortions preincarnatively programmed and developed in incarnative state.

The energies of life itself, 
being the one infinite Creator, flow from the south pole of the body seen in its magnetic form. 

Thus only the Creator may, 
through the feet, enter the energy shell of the body to any effect. 

The effects of the adept are those from the upper direction and thus the building of the wall of light is quite propitious.

May we ask if there are any shorter queries at this time?

The Law of One, Book III, Session 74

Questioner: Could you please describe the trance state? 

I am somewhat confused as to how, in a trance, pain can affect the instrument since I was of the opinion that there would be no feeling of pain by the bodily complex in the trance state?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. 

The instrument has no awareness of this or other sensations. 

However, we of Ra use the yellow-ray activated physical complex as a channel through which to speak. 

As the mind/body/spirit complex of the instrument leaves this physical shell in our keeping it is finely adjusted to our contact.

However, the distortion which you call pain, when sufficiently severe, mitigates against proper contact and, when the increased distortion is violent, can cause the tuning of the channel to waver. 

This tuning must then be corrected which we may do as the instrument offers us this opportunity freely.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 85

Questioner: I am assuming that it would be a problem for the instrument to meditate without the hand pressure from the other-self at this time because of the continued greeting. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct if the instrument wishes to remain free from this potential separation of its mind/body/spirit complex from the third density it now experiences.
