The Law of One, Book II, Session 49

Questioner: Is it better, or shall I say, does it produce more useable results in meditation to leave the mind as blank as possible and let it run down, so to speak, or is it better to focus in meditation on some object or some thing for concentration?

Ra: I am Ra. This shall be the last full query of this work time. 

Each of the two types of meditation is useful for a particular reason. 

The passive meditation 
involving the clearing of the mind, the emptying of the mental jumble which is characteristic of mind complex activity among your peoples, is efficacious for those whose goal is to achieve an inner silence as a base from which to listen to the Creator. 

This is an useful and helpful tool and is by far the most generally useful type of meditation as opposed to contemplation or prayer.

The type of meditation which may be called visualization 
has as its goal not that which is contained in the meditation itself. 

Visualization is the tool of the adept. 

Those who learn to hold visual images in mind are developing an inner concentrative power that can transcend boredom and discomfort. 

When this ability has become crystallized in an adept the adept may then do polarizing in consciousness without external action which can effect the planetary consciousness. 

This is the reason for the existence of the so-called White Magician. 

Only those wishing to pursue the conscious raising of planetary vibration will find visualization to be a particularly satisfying type of meditation.

Contemplation or the consideration in a meditative state of an inspiring image or text is extremely useful also among your peoples, 

and the faculty of will called praying is also of a potentially helpful nature. 

Whether it is indeed an helpful activity depends quite totally upon the intentions and objects of the one who prays.

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

The Law of One, Book II, Session 50

Questioner: Thank you.

How does the ability to hold visual images in mind allow the adept to do polarization in consciousness without external action?

Ra: I am Ra. This is not a simple query, for the adept is one which will go beyond the green-ray which signals entry into harvestability.

The adept will not simply be tapping into intelligent energy as a means of readiness for harvest but tapping into both intelligent energy and intelligent infinity for the purpose of transmuting planetary harvestability and consciousness.

The means of this working lie within.

The key is first, silence, and secondly, singleness of thought.

Thusly a visualization which can be held steady to the inward eye for several of your minutes, as you measure time, will signal the adept’s increase in singleness of thought.

This singleness of thought then can be used by the
positive adept to work in group ritual visualizations for the raising of positive energy,
by negative adepts for the increase in personal power.

Questioner: Can you tell me what the adept, after being able to hold the image for several minutes, does to affect planetary consciousness or affect positive polarity?

Ra: I am Ra.

When the positive adept touches intelligent infinity from within,
this is the most powerful of connections for it is the connection of the whole mind/body/spirit complex microcosm with the macrocosm.

This connection enables the, shall we say, green-ray true color in time/space to manifest in your space/time.

In green ray thoughts are beings.

In your illusion this is normally not so.

The adepts then become living channels for love and light and are able to channel this radiance directly into the planetary web of energy nexi.

The ritual will always end by the grounding of this energy in praise and thanksgiving and the release of this energy into the planetary whole.

Questioner: Each of us feels, in meditation, energy upon the head in various places.

Could you tell me what this is, what it signifies, and what the various places in which we feel it signify?

Ra: I am Ra. Forgetting the pyramid will be of aid to you in the study of these experiences.

The in-streamings of energy are felt by the energy centers which need, and are prepared for, activation.

Thus those who feel the stimulation at violet-ray level
are getting just that.

Those feeling it within the forehead between the brows
are experiencing indigo ray and so forth.

Those experiencing tingling and visual images
are having some blockage in the energy center being activated and thus the electrical body spreads this energy out and its effect is diffused.

Those not truly sincerely requesting this energy
may yet feel it if the entities are not well-trained in psychic defense.

Those not desirous of experiencing these sensations and activations and changes even upon the subconscious level
will not experience anything due to their abilities at defense and armoring against change.

Questioner: Is it normal to get two simultaneous stimulations at once?

Ra: I am Ra.

The most normal for the adept is the following:

the indigo stimulation
activating that great gateway into healing,
magical work,
prayerful attention, and
the radiance of being;

and

the stimulation of the violet ray
which is the spiritual giving and taking from and to Creator, from Creator to Creator.

This is a desirable configuration.

Please ask one more full query at this working.

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 III, Session 65 

Questioner: I may be recovering a little ground already covered today, but I am trying to get a more clear picture of some things that I don’t understand and possibly develop a plan of my own for activity in the future.

I have the impression that in the near future the seeking will increase by many who now are incarnate in the physical on this planet. 

Their seeking will increase because they will become more aware of the creation as it is and as it is opposed, I might say, to the creation of man. 

Their orientation and their thinking will be, by catalyst of a unique nature, reoriented to thinking of more basic concepts, shall I say. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. The generalities of expression can never be completely correct.

However, we may note that when faced with a hole in the curtain, an entity’s eyes may well peer for the first time through the window beyond.

This tendency is probable given the possibility/probability vortices active within your space/time and time/space continua at this nexus.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 70

Questioner: I am sorry to ask such stupid questions, but I am trying to determine something about space/time, time/space, and this very difficult area of the mechanism of evolution. 

I think it is central to the understanding of our evolution. 

However, I am not sure of this and I may be wasting my time. 

Could Ra comment on whether I am wasting my time in this particular investigation or whether it would be fruitful?

Ra: I am Ra. Since the concepts of space/time, or physics, and time/space, or metaphysics, are mechanical they are not central to the spiritual evolution of the mind/body/spirit complex. 

The study of love and light is far more productive in its motion towards unity in those entities pondering such concepts. 

However, this material is, shall we say, of some small interest and is harmless.

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 III, Session 66

Questioner: I have observed many activities known as psychic surgery in the area of the Philippine Islands. 

It was my assumption that these healers are providing what I would call a training aid or a way of creating a reconfiguration of the mind of the patient to be healed as the relatively naive patient observes the action of the healer in seeing the materialized blood, etc. and reconfigures the roots of mind to believe, you might say, the healing is done and, therefore, heals himself. 

Is this analysis that I have made correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. 

We may speak slightly further on the type of opportunity.

There are times when the malcondition to be altered is without emotional, mental, or spiritual interest to the entity and is merely that which has, perhaps by chance genetic arrangement, occurred. 

In these cases that which is apparently dematerialized will remain dematerialized and may be observed as so by any observer. 

The malcondition which has an emotional, mental, or spiritual charge is likely not to remain dematerialized in the sense of the showing of the objective referent to an observer. 

However, if the opportunity has been taken by the seeker the apparent malcondition of the physical complex will be at variance with the actual health, as you call this distortion, of the seeker and the lack of experiencing the distortions which the objective referent would suggest still held sway.

For instance, in this instrument the removal of three small cysts was the removal of material having no interest to the entity. Thus these growths remained dematerialized after the so-called psychic surgery experience. 

In other psychic surgery the kidneys of this instrument were carefully offered a new configuration of being-ness which the entity embraced. 

However, this particular portion of the mind/body/spirit complex carried a great deal of emotional, mental, and spiritual charge due to this distorted functioning being the cause of great illness in a certain configuration of events which culminated in this entity’s conscious decision to be of service. 

Therefore, any objective scanning of this entity’s renal complex would indicate the rather extreme dysfunctional aspect which it showed previous to the psychic surgery experience, as you call it.

The key is not in the continuation of the dematerialization of distortion to the eye of the beholder but rather lies in the choosing of the newly materialized configuration which exists in time/space.

Questioner: Would you explain that last comment about the configuration in time/space?

Ra: I am Ra. Healing is done in the time/space portion of the mind/body/spirit complex, is adopted by the form-making or etheric body, and is then given to the space/time physical illusion for use in the activated yellow mind/body/spirit complex. 

It is the adoption of the configuration which you call health by the etheric body in time/space which is the key to what you call health, not any event which occurs in space/time. 

In the process you may see the transdimensional aspect of what you call will, for it is the will, the seeking, the desire of the entity which causes the indigo body to use the novel configuration and to reform the body which exists in space/time. 

This is done in an instant and may be said to operate without regard to time. 

We may note that in the healing of very young children 
there is often an apparent healing by the healer in which the young entity has no part. This is never so, 

for the mind/body/spirit complex in time/space is always capable of willing the distortions it chooses for experience no matter what the apparent age, as you call it, of the entity.

Questioner: Is this desire and will that operates through to the time/space section a function only of the entity who is healed or is it also the function of the healer, the crystallized healer?

Ra: I am Ra. May we take this opportunity to say that this is the activity of the Creator. 

To specifically answer your query the crystallized healer has no will. 

It offers an opportunity without attachment to the outcome, for it is aware that all is one and that the Creator is knowing Itself.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 73

Questioner: Then will you speak of the difference between the spiraling light that enters through the feet and the light invoked through the crown chakra?

Ra: I am Ra.
 
The action of the upward spiraling light 
drawn by the will to meet the inner light of the one infinite Creator may be likened to the beating of the heart and the movement of the muscles surrounding the lungs and all the other functions of the parasympathetic nervous system. 

The calling of the adept 
may be likened to those nerve and muscle actions over which the mind/body/spirit complex has conscious control.

Questioner: Previously you stated that where the two directions meet you have a measure of the development of the particular mind/body/spirit complex. Am I correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

Questioner: It would seem to me that the visualization of the invocation would be dependent upon what the use was to be of the light. 

The use could be for healing, communication, or for the general awareness of the creation and the Creator. 

Would you please speak on this process and my correctness in making this assumption?

Ra: I am Ra. We shall offer some thoughts though it is doubtful that we may exhaust this subject. 

Each visualization, regardless of the point of the working, begins with some work within the indigo-ray. 

As you may be aware, the ritual which you have begun is completely working within the indigo-ray. 

This is well for it is the gateway. 
From this beginning light may be invoked for communication or for healing.

You may note that in the ritual which we offered you to properly begin the Ra workings the first focus is upon the Creator. 

We would further note a point which is both subtile and of some interest. 

The upward spiraling light developed in its path by the will, and ultimately reaching an high place of mating with the inward fire of the one Creator, still is only preparation for the work upon the mind/body/spirit which may be done by the adept.

There is some crystallization of the energy centers used during each working so that the magician becomes more and more that which it seeks. 

More importantly, the time/space mind/body/spirit analog, which is evoked as the magical personality, has its only opportunity to gain rapidly from the experience of the catalytic action available to the third-density space/time mind/body/spirit. 

Thus the adept is aiding the Creator greatly by offering great catalyst to a greater portion of the creation which is identified as the mind/body/spirit totality of an entity.

Questioner: Desire and will are the factors in this process. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. We would add one quality. 

In the magical personality desire, will, and polarity are the keys.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 77

Questioner: Is there any technique that we could use that we have not been using that would be beneficial for the instrument in this case?

Ra: I am Ra. We might suggest, without fractiousness, two.

Firstly, let the instrument remove the possibility of further ingestion of this group of foodstuffs.

Secondly, each of the group may become aware of the will to a greater extent.

We cannot instruct upon this but merely indicate, as we have previously, that it is a vital key to the evolution of the mind/body/spirit complex.

The Law of One, Book I, Session 3

Questioner: Does the shape of the pyramid have a function in the initiation process?

Ra: I am Ra. This is a large question. 

We feel that we shall begin and ask you to re-evaluate and ask further at a later session, this somewhat, shall we say, informative point.

To begin. 
There are two main functions of the pyramid in relation to the initiatory procedures. 

One has to do with the body. 
Before the body can be initiated, the mind must be initiated. 

This is the point at which most adepts of your present cycle find their mind/body/spirit complexes distorted from.

When the character and personality that is the true identity of the mind has been discovered, the body then must be known in each and every way.

Thus, the various functions of the body need understanding and control with detachment. 

The first use of the pyramid, then, 
is the going down into the pyramid for purposes of deprivation of sensory input so that the body may, in a sense, be dead and another life begin.

We advise, at this time, any necessary questions and a fairly rapid ending of this session. 

Have you any query at this time/space?

The Law of One, Book I, Session 17

Questioner: Then if the entity Jesus was fourth density and there are Wanderers on the planet today who came from fifth and sixth density, what was it that Jesus did that enabled him to be such a good healer and could these fifth- and sixth-density beings here now do the same?

Ra: I am Ra. Those who heal may be of any density which has the consciousness of the spirit. 

This includes third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh. 

The third density can be one in which healing takes place just as the others. 

However, there is more illusory material to understand, to balance, to accept, and to move forward from.

The gate to intelligent infinity can only be opened when an understanding of the in-streamings of intelligent energy are opened unto the healer. 

These are the so-called Natural Laws of your local space/time continuum and its web of electromagnetic sources or nexi of in-streaming energy.

Know then, first, the mind and the body. 

Then as the spirit is integrated and synthesized, these are harmonized into a mind/body/spirit complex which can move among the dimensions and can open the gateway to intelligent infinity, thus healing self by light and sharing that light with others.

True healing is simply the radiance of the self causing an environment in which a catalyst may occur which initiates the recognition of self, by self, of the self -healing properties of the self.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 61

Questioner: I would like to ask questions about healing exercises.

The first is, in the healing exercises concerning the body, what do you mean by the disciplines of the body having to do with the balance between love and wisdom in the use of the body in its natural functions?

Ra: I am Ra. We shall speak more briefly than usual due to this instrument’s use of the transferred energy.

We, therefore, request further queries if our reply is not sufficient.

The body complex has natural functions.
Many of these have to do with the unmanifested self and are normally not subject to the need for balancing.

There are natural functions which have to do with other-self.
Among these are
touching,
loving,
the sexual life, and
those times when the company of another is craved to combat the type of loneliness which is the natural function of the body as opposed to those types of loneliness which are of the mind/emotion complex or of the spirit.

When these natural functions
may be observed in the daily life they may be examined in order that the love of self and love of other-self versus the wisdom regarding the use of natural functions may be observed.

There are many fantasies and stray thoughts which may be examined in most of your peoples in this balancing process.

Equally to be balanced is the withdrawal from the need for these natural functions with regard to other-self.

On the one hand
there is an excess of love.
It must be determined whether this is love of self or other-self or both.

On the other hand
there is an over-balance towards wisdom.

It is well to know the body complex so that it is an ally, balanced and ready to be clearly used as a tool, for each bodily function may be used in higher and higher, if you will, complexes of energy with other-self.

No matter what the behavior, the important balancing is the understanding of each interaction on this level with other-selves so that whether the balance may be love/wisdom or wisdom/love, the other-self is seen by the self in a balanced configuration and the self is thus freed for further work.

Questioner: Then the second question is, could you give an example of how feelings affect portions of the body and the sensations of the body?

Ra: I am Ra. It is nearly impossible to speak generally of these mechanisms, for each entity of proper seniority has its own programming.

Of the less aware entities we may say that the connection will often seem random as the higher self continues producing catalyst until a bias occurs.

In each programmed individual the sensitivities are far more active and, as we have said, that catalyst not used fully by the mind and spirit is given to the body.

Thus you may see in this entity
the numbing of the arms and the hands signifying this entity’s failure to surrender to the loss of control over the life.

Thus this drama is enacted in the physical distortion complex.

In the questioner
we may see the desire not to be carrying the load it carries given as physical manifestation of the soreness of those muscles for carrying used.

That which is truly needed to be carried is a preincarnative responsibility which seems highly inconvenient.

In the case of the scribe
we see a weariness and numbness of feelings ensuing from lack of using catalyst designed to sensitize this entity to quite significant influxes of unfamiliar distortion complexes of the mental, emotional, and spiritual level.

As the numbness removes itself from the higher or more responsive complexes the bodily complex distortions will vanish.

This is true also of the other examples.

We would note at this time that the totally efficient use of catalyst upon your plane is extremely rare.

Questioner: Could you tell me how you are able to give us information like this with respect to the first distortion or Law of Confusion?

Ra: I am Ra. Each of those is already aware of this information.

Any other reader may extract the heart of meaning from this discussion without interest as to the examples’ sources.

If each was not fully aware of these answers we could not speak.

It is interesting that in many of your queries you ask for confirmation rather information.

This is acceptable to us.

Questioner: The third question that I have here is, could you give examples of bodily polarity?

Ra: I am Ra. Within the body there are many polarities which relate to the balancing of the energy centers of the various bodies of the unmanifested entity.

It is well to explore these polarities for work in healing.

Each entity is, of course, a potential polarized portion of an other-self.

Questioner: The last question here says that it would seem the proper balancing exercises for all the sensations of the body would be some sort of inactivity such as meditation or contemplation.

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is largely incorrect.

The balancing requires a meditative state in order for the work to be done.

However, the balancing of sensation has to do with an analysis of the sensation with especial respect to any unbalanced leaning between the love and the wisdom or the positive and the negative.

Then whatever is lacking in the balanced sensation is, as in all balancing, allowed to come into the being after the sensation is remembered and recalled in such detail as to overwhelm the senses.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 64

Questioner: In the healing exercises, when you say examine the sensations of the body, do you mean those sensations available to the body via the five senses or in relation to the natural functions of the body such as touching, loving, sexual sharing, and company, or are you speaking of something else altogether?

Ra: I am Ra.

The questioner may perceive its body complex at this moment.

It is experiencing sensations.
Most of these sensations or in this case, nearly all of them, are transient and without interest.

However, the body is the creature of the mind.

Certain sensations carry importance due to the charge or power which is felt by the mind upon the experience of this sensation.

For instance, at this space/time nexus one sensation is carrying a powerful charge and may be examined.

This is the sensation of what you call the distortion towards discomfort due to the cramped position of the body complex during this working.

In balancing you would then explore this sensation.

Why is this sensation powerful?
Because it was chosen in order that the entity might be of service-to-others in energizing this contact.

Each sensation that leaves the aftertaste of meaning upon the mind, that leaves the taste within the memory shall be examined.

These are the sensations of which we speak.

May we answer any brief queries before we leave this instrument?

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.

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 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. 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 70

Questioner: I am sorry to ask such stupid questions, but I am trying to determine something about space/time, time/space, and this very difficult area of the mechanism of evolution. 

I think it is central to the understanding of our evolution. 

However, I am not sure of this and I may be wasting my time. 

Could Ra comment on whether I am wasting my time in this particular investigation or whether it would be fruitful?

Ra: I am Ra. Since the concepts of space/time, or physics, and time/space, or metaphysics, are mechanical they are not central to the spiritual evolution of the mind/body/spirit complex. 

The study of love and light is far more productive in its motion towards unity in those entities pondering such concepts. 

However, this material is, shall we say, of some small interest and is harmless.

The Law of One, Book I, Session 17

Questioner: Is there a “best way” to meditate?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

The Law of One, Book II, Session 42

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 II, Session 49

Questioner: Will you recommend a technique of meditation?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

Questioner: Is it better, or shall I say, does it produce more useable results in meditation to leave the mind as blank as possible and let it run down, so to speak, or is it better to focus in meditation on some object or some thing for concentration?

Ra: I am Ra. This shall be the last full query of this work time. 

Each of the two types of meditation is useful for a particular reason.

The passive meditation
involving the clearing of the mind, the emptying of the mental jumble which is characteristic of mind complex activity among your peoples, is efficacious for those whose goal is to achieve an inner silence as a base from which to listen to the Creator.

This is an useful and helpful tool and is by far the most generally useful type of meditation as opposed to contemplation or prayer.

The type of meditation which may be called visualization
has as its goal not that which is contained in the meditation itself.

Visualization is the tool of the adept.

Those who learn to hold visual images in mind are developing an inner concentrative power that can transcend boredom and discomfort. 

When this ability has become crystallized in an adept the adept may then do polarizing in consciousness without external action which can effect the planetary consciousness.

This is the reason for the existence of the so-called White Magician.

Only those wishing to pursue the conscious raising of planetary vibration will find visualization to be a particularly satisfying type of meditation.

Contemplation or the consideration in a meditative state of an inspiring image or text is extremely useful also among your peoples,

and the faculty of will called praying is also of a potentially helpful nature.

Whether it is indeed an helpful activity depends quite totally upon the intentions and objects of the one who prays.

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

The Law of One, Book II, Session 50

Questioner: Thank you.

How does the ability to hold visual images in mind allow the adept to do polarization in consciousness without external action?

Ra: I am Ra. This is not a simple query, for the adept is one which will go beyond the green-ray which signals entry into harvestability.

The adept will not simply be tapping into intelligent energy as a means of readiness for harvest but tapping into both intelligent energy and intelligent infinity for the purpose of transmuting planetary harvestability and consciousness.

The means of this working lie within.

The key is first, silence, and secondly, singleness of thought.

Thusly a visualization which can be held steady to the inward eye for several of your minutes, as you measure time, will signal the adept’s increase in singleness of thought.

This singleness of thought then can be used by the
positive adept to work in group ritual visualizations for the raising of positive energy,
by negative adepts for the increase in personal power.

Questioner: Can you tell me what the adept, after being able to hold the image for several minutes, does to affect planetary consciousness or affect positive polarity?

Ra: I am Ra.

When the positive adept touches intelligent infinity from within,
this is the most powerful of connections for it is the connection of the whole mind/body/spirit complex microcosm with the macrocosm.

This connection enables the, shall we say, green-ray true color in time/space to manifest in your space/time.

In green ray thoughts are beings.

In your illusion this is normally not so.

The adepts then become living channels for love and light and are able to channel this radiance directly into the planetary web of energy nexi.

The ritual will always end by the grounding of this energy in praise and thanksgiving and the release of this energy into the planetary whole.

Questioner: Each of us feels, in meditation, energy upon the head in various places.

Could you tell me what this is, what it signifies, and what the various places in which we feel it signify?

Ra: I am Ra. Forgetting the pyramid will be of aid to you in the study of these experiences.

The in-streamings of energy are felt by the energy centers which need, and are prepared for, activation.

Thus those who feel the stimulation at violet-ray level
are getting just that.

Those feeling it within the forehead between the brows
are experiencing indigo ray and so forth.

Those experiencing tingling and visual images
are having some blockage in the energy center being activated and thus the electrical body spreads this energy out and its effect is diffused.

Those not truly sincerely requesting this energy
may yet feel it if the entities are not well-trained in psychic defense.

Those not desirous of experiencing these sensations and activations and changes even upon the subconscious level
will not experience anything due to their abilities at defense and armoring against change.

Questioner: Is it normal to get two simultaneous stimulations at once?

Ra: I am Ra.

The most normal for the adept is the following:

the indigo stimulation
activating that great gateway into healing,
magical work,
prayerful attention, and
the radiance of being;

and

the stimulation of the violet ray
which is the spiritual giving and taking from and to Creator, from Creator to Creator.

This is a desirable configuration.

Please ask one more full query at this working.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 51

Questioner: Right now I feel a feeling at the indigo center.

If this center were totally activated and not blocked at all, would I then feel nothing there?

Ra: I am Ra. This query, if answered, would infringe upon the Law of Confusion.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 54

Questioner: What if a mind/body/spirit complex feels a feeling in meditation at the indigo center, what is he feeling?

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

One who feels this activation is one experiencing in-streamings at that energy center to be used either
for the unblocking of this center,
for its tuning to match the harmonics of its other energy centers, or
to activate the gateway to intelligent infinity.

We cannot be specific for each of these three workings is experienced by the entity which feels this physical complex distortion.

Is there a brief query before we leave this instrument?

The Law of One, Book III, Session 63
July 18, 1981

Questioner: Is the reason that they can do this and the fifth-density Wanderers who are here cannot do it the fact that they have the fourth-density body in activation?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. 

Wanderers are third-density activated in mind/body/spirit and are subject to the forgetting which can only be penetrated with disciplined meditation and working.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 66

Questioner: Then an entity who becomes aware of his polarization with respect to service-to-others might find a paradoxical situation in the case where it was unable to fully serve because of distortions chosen to reach the understanding it has reached.

At this point it would seem that the entity who was aware of the mechanism might, through meditation, understand the necessary mental configuration for alleviating the physical distortion so that it could be of greater service-to-others.

At this particular nexus am I correct in this thinking?

Ra: I am Ra. You are correct although we might note that there are often complex reasons for the programming of a distorted physical complex pattern.

In any case, meditation is always an aid to knowing the self.

Questioner: Is a vertical positioning of the spine useful or helpful in the meditative procedure?

Ra: I am Ra. It is somewhat helpful.

The Law of One, Book IV, Session 83

Questioner: Then for a service-to-others oriented entity at this time meditation upon the nature of these little-expected forms of slavery might be productive in polarization I would think. 

Am I correct?

Ra: I am Ra. You are quite correct.
