What is A 'Silver Cord Reflex' in Trance?

What is A 'Silver Cord Reflex' in Trance?

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.

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 79

gos prior to this experiment in veiling was what I would consider to be less complex than it is now, possibly containing fewer archetypes. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. We must ask your patience

We perceive a sudden flare of the distortion known as pain in this instrument’s left arm and manual appendages

Please do not touch this instrument

We shall examine the mind complex and attempt to reposition the limb so that the working may continue

Then please repeat the query.

(Ninety second pause)

I am Ra. You may proceed.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 91

Ra: I am Ra. Not only did each race add to the planetary mind but also each race possesses a racial mind.

Thus we made this distinction in discussing this portion of mind.

This portion of mind is formed in the series of seemingly non-simultaneous experiences which are chosen in freedom of will by the mind/body/spirit complexes of the planetary influence.

Therefore, although this Akashic, planetary, or racial mind is indeed a root of mind it may be seen in sharp differentiation from the deeper roots of mind which are not a function of altering memory, if you will.

We must ask your patience at this time.

This channel has become somewhat unclear due to the movement of the cover which touches this instrument.

We ask that the opening sentences be repeated and the breath expelled.

(The microphones attached to the cover upon the instrument were pulled slightly
as a rug was being placed over a noisy tape recorder. The Circle of One was
walked; breath was expelled two feet above the instrument’s head from her right
to her left; and the Circle of One was walked again as requested.)

Ra: I am Ra. We communicate now.

Questioner: Were we successful in re-establishing clear contact?

Ra: I am Ra. There was the misstep which then needed to be re-repeated.

This was done.

The communication is once again clear.

We enjoyed the humorous aspects of the necessary repetitions.

Questioner: What occurred when the microphone cords were slightly moved?

Ra: I am Ra. The link between the instrument’s mind/body/spirit complex and its yellow-ray, chemical, physical vehicle was jarred.

This caused some maladjustment of the organ you call the lungs and, if the repair had not been done, would have resulted in a distorted physical complex condition of this portion of the instrument’s physical vehicle.

Questioner: What kind of distortion?

Ra: I am Ra. The degree of distortion would depend upon the amount of neglect.

The ultimate penalty, shall we say, for the disturbing of the physical vehicle is the death, in this case by what you would call the congestive heart failure.

As the support group was prompt there should be little or no distortion experienced by the instrument.

Questioner: Why does such a very minor effect like the slight movement of the microphone cord result in this situation, not mechanically or chemically, but philosophically, if you can answer this question?

Ra: I am Ra. We can only answer mechanically as there is no philosophy to the reflexes of physical vehicular function.

There is what you might call the silver cord reflex;
that is, when the mind/body/spirit complex dwells without the environs of the physical shell and the physical shell is disturbedthe physical shell will reflexively call back the absent enlivener; that is, the mind/body/spirit complex which is connected with what may be metaphysically seen as what some of your philosophers have called the silver cord.

If this is done suddenly the mind/body/spirit complex will attempt entry into the energy web of the physical vehicle without due care and the effect is as if one were to stretch one of your elastic bands and let it shrink rapidly.

The resulting snap would strike hard at the anchored portion of the elastic band.

The process through which you as a group go in recalling this instrument 
could be likened unto taking this elastic and gently lessening its degree of tension until it was without perceptible stretch.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 103

Questioner: Our appropriate time limit for this working, I believe, is rapidly approaching, so I would like to ask what was the problem in this session when twice in this session we had to expel breath over the instrument’s chest?

Ra: I am Ra. This instrument is unaware of the method used to contact Ra.

However, its desire was particularly strong, at the outset of this working, for this working to transpire

Thus it inadvertently was somewhat premature in its leaving of the yellow-ray, physical body.

In this state the object was dropped upon the instrument which you call the tie-pin microphone

The unexpected contact caused injury of the chest muscles and we would advise some care depending from this working to avoid stress so that this injury may heal

There is a metaphysical component to this injury and, therefore, we wished to be quite sure that all portions of the environment were cleansed

Since this place of working has not its usual level of protection we used your breath to so cleanse the environment, which was at risk.

Questioner: Is the reason for this lack of protection the fact that it has been a considerable time since we have worked in here?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

Questioner: What is the reason?

Ra: I am Ra. The lack of regular repetition of the so-called Banishing Ritual is the lack of which we spoke.

Questioner: From this I assume that it would be most appropriate to perform the Banishing Ritual daily in this room. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. That is acceptable.

Questioner: I don’t want to overtire the instrument.

We’re running close to time here.

I will just ask if there is anything that we can do to improve the contact or to make the instrument more comfortable, and anything else that Ra could state at this time that would aid us?


Ra: I am Ra. We find the alignments quite fastidiously observed.

You are conscientious.

Continue in support, one for the other, and find the praise and thanksgiving that harmony produces.

Rest your cares and be merry.

I am Ra.

I leave you, glorying in the love and in the light of the one infinite Creator.

Go forth, therefore, rejoicing in the power and in the peace of the one infinite Creator.

Adonai.
