Ra Channeling question/concern

[Leo1123]

Ive just started reading through the different sessions of the Law of One series and I noticed something that brings an odd question to mind. There was a point early on where the questioner is trying to get a better understanding on how they could make the "instrument" more comfortable and/or clear for channeling. One of the things Ra mentioned that would help is the positioning of a bible. Now, I was under the assumption that this Law of One stuff, and basically the whole entire idea was not religiously biased. Im seeing this as a pretty odd thing. Why not a Koran? Why not a TV Guide? What is the significance? And why a bible? Im pretty confused by this if anyone can clarify this, help me understand it, or perhaps there was something I missed or misread. Because this does sound religiously biased. Thanks alot.

This speaks directly to the spiritual biases of the channel, Carla - who is a self professed follower of Jesus Christ.

The rigour displayed in the specific layout of the 'appurtenances' constituted a ritual which, among others, allowed for a focus of intent which symbolized the intent of the group to act as one in a highly refined state of service to others polarity, and was conducive to allowing this narrow bandwidth communication of great acuity.

This symbolic arrangement of icons which resonated with the group's, and, more specifically, Carla's preconceived notions of powerful spiritual talismans, only served to focus and multiply this intent. The physical bible in and of itself has no power in this regard, other than that invested by the group through the harmonically unified triad of desire to serve.

Continued strict observance of the specified layout served to magically multiply the strength of interaction of the group with Ra, along with helping focus the shared need of the group for protection from the accompanying negative greetings endured.

In this way, seemingly mundane physical objects can act to focus and project magical power.

This has been addressed in David's work somewhere though I don't recall where, but I will attempt to clarify.

I believe the gist of it was, IIRC, that not only were the channeled entities catering (so to speak) to the well-established belief systems of the folks providing the channel, an other point David made also suggested that much of the set and setting is done to maintain the esoteric nature of the knowledge that was being transmitted.

That is... to keep it appearing to be hidden/not apparent/not provable/and possibly religious based, and to essentially keep below the radar of those folks who would prefer to keep others in the dark.

And... to quote Arthur C. Clarke-
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

I hope I am being clear enough here, maybe someone else can expand on this.

Check again at the question Don asked RA--what could they do to make the "instrument" more comfortable. Carla is very religiously oriented therefore the Bible was for the benefit of the instrument. IMHO it was a way for Carla to be more at ease and comfortable with going into a deep trance so that the channeling link could be made.

Hope this helps.

I feel so elated whenever talking about anything to do with the Law of One.

Well, to start with, words in themselves do not mean a great deal (such as Ra saying the only words with real power are those such as some sanskrit and Hebrew used in the creation of the Universe). Reminds me of that new age saying, in the beginning there was a word and the word was Om.

Yet, the beginning ritual to do with Ra, We ask for Ra, who is Ra, Ra is an humble messenger of the Law of One. Etc. (I think.) Was using words, therefore, aside from the name possibly, the intention set behind the words must have been the important.

It is possibly the same thing with the bible, also combined with the fact that it has the aura of a religious text.

I think its interesting that the bible was opened to the Book of John, as if an important interconnection was made. Maybe John was a similar channel of ages past, difficult to say.

The symbolism of this altar helped me to recognize many rituals of mainstream religion as "high magic" with foundation upon earlier practice, call it "low magic", with the distinction that high magic seems to influence the masses while low magic may pertain to smaller grass roots groups.

Another thing that impressed me was this modest altar's implements may help to anchor a person who is going out of body.

Somewhere in book 1 there's a question about what were the first entities on the planet, and the reply suggests the four fundamental elements. The implements on the Ra altar seem to act as icons for these elements. In this way, there seems a reverence for the very basic things, with emphasis on being "aligned" with them in ways that promote sustainability.

Hi soup!

Glad you came back. It has been a while. Hey, look at your private messages please (Under your name in the right top corner of the page). Chris

Hello Angel, thanks for the welcome - I checked all of my censored post messages - sorry about those...

Somewhere in book one there was mention of "Law of One" materials both in the old and new testament. Now I wonder if "The Gospel of John" contains something - can't remember off hand, I'll have to read it again.

I wonder how much the use of the Gospel of John had to do with Carla's biases, conscious or otherwise, and how much, if any, to do with Ra's preference.

Edgar Cayce recommended chapters 14-17 of John. http://www.edgarcayce.org/health/database/health_resources/bibliotherapy_passages.asp

Edgar Cayce recommended chapters 14-17 of John.

This reminds me of the law of confusion somehow, though some of chapter 15
seems to suggest to me a concept of harvest, and some of chapter 17 seems to suggest the notion of one (verses 21-23...) I wonder what others think about this line of seeking...?

I read through them yesterday and thought it was a fine choice for recommended reading. Lots of good stuff there. The Holy Spirit. The unity of Jesus and God and mankind.

I also liked that it confirmed my monotheism - Jesus says the Father is greater than him, while also stressing his equality with humanity. (It's my opinion that Christianity has strayed from monotheism.)

It also contains one of the most undesirable phrases, at least so far as it has been understood by Christiains, or perhaps a deliberate mistranslation or even interpolation? In which Jesus says no one comes to the Father except by him. This unfortunate phrase is often brought up to justify the correctness of the fundamentalist idea that one simply can only come to God as a Jesus-believer.

When I pondered that, the notion that Joseph Campbell shared mythologically was the idea that at some point in a person's energetic development, "the heart center" can open. To me, this is what's meant there - as if an encounter of christ-love/unconditional-love may seem similar to a more universal occurance: that of the heart center opening. My impression is that as green ray becomes active, a person graduates so to speak, and this may bring them in closer proximity to the divine, whatever that is for them.

Around the time I was pondering the idea of looking for the "Law Of One" within the Gospel of John, I came across one of those intuitively revealed words, "Gennesaret." I didn't know what it was, had to look it up - its the Sea of Gallilee, which brought me to the bible. In the Oxford Bible I was referencing, it pointed to the last chapter of John, the one that talked about the netting of fish after he appeared upon the shore.

So when I pondered that - the idea of using "The Queen's Chamber" for ressurrection came up, an idea which is shared early in book 3. So the unrecognizeable quality of the appearance in that chapter may have been due to the transportation of the body from Galgatha(?) to a pyramid for this effort.

oh thank you thank you!

I just started reading this text and this question pump up into my head imediatly!
Now I can go on with the reading without the "manipulation religious stuf" bodering my interpretations....

lol, and it is so obvious.... it concerned the channel! not the message!

big hug of light to you people

...at some point in a person's energetic development, "the heart center" can open....

This may somehow spiral back to the idea of "the kings chamber" as being represented by a person - maybe the enlightened Christ was an example of such a person, and that this effect can be contageous somehow.

Anyhow, in book 3 there's mention of the "Ark of the Covenant" and when I pondered that - the Washington monument came to mind. That it wouldn't surprise me if the thing is stored at the top of that monument, and this is partly why it is filmed so much in the movies, as if its likely hidden in plain view - or so I like to think so.

There was a movie out a couple years ago, "flatliners" - about a group who explore near death experiences by going "flatline" before being revitalized somehow. Maybe Jesus was such a flatliner, or part of a group that valued such sort of initiation.

Maybe the result of such "flatlining" is the actual death of many braincells - making a person stupid to a point where they seem more intune with their heart somehow. Maybe the natural state of grace that people age into is a likewise loss of brain cells, that what people may be contending with are brain cell networks that actually distract them from realizing some greater reality.

When I started considering the "kundalini fires" as analogous to such neural network destruction/regeneration then that further supported such theory that some mental configurations can seem to debilitate a person from progressing spiritually because they may tend to rationalize themselves to go some other way instead.

I think there is also some mention of hair - that straighter hair was preferable. I wonder if the ability to channel is related to hair length and if people with shorter hair somehow disable themselves so.

Then again, a lot of Ra's suggestions I interpret symbolically - as if straighter hair may support the notion of alignment, or else the suggestion of the word hair may relate to the dream symbol counterpart, wisdom - which relates to the idea of light, and the notion of balancing love/light as one of promoting comfort.
