Questioner: From that statement I interpret the

following. If the
Experience of the Mind has sufficiently chosen
the right-hand path, and as
total purity is approached in the choosing of the
right-hand path, then total
imperviousness from the effect of the left-hand
catalyst is also approached.
Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is exquisitely perceptive. The
seeker which has purely
chosen the service-to-others path shall certainly
not have a variant apparent
incarnational experience. There is no outward
shelter in your illusion from
the gusts, flurries, and blizzards of quick and
cruel catalyst.
However, to the pure, all that is encountered
speaks of the love and the
light of the one infinite Creator. The cruelest
blow is seen with an ambiance
of challenges offered and opportunities to come.
Thusly, the great pitch of
light is held high above such an one so that all
interpretation may be seen to
be protected by light.

Questioner: I have often wondered about the
action of random and
programmed catalyst with respect to the
entity with the very strong positive
or negative polarization. Would either polarity
be free to a great extent from
random catalyst such as great natural
catastrophes or warfare or something
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 95
like that which generates a lot of random
catalyst in the physical vicinity of
a highly polarized entity? Does this great cat,
then, have an effect on such
random catalyst on the right-hand path?
Ra: I am Ra. In two circumstances this is so.
Firstly, if there has been the
preincarnative choice that, for instance, one
shall not take life in the service
of the cultural group, events shall fall in a
protective manner. Secondly, if
any entity is able to dwell completely in unity
the only harm that may occur
to it is the changing of the outward physical,
yellow-ray vehicle into the
more light-filled mind/body/spirit complex’s
vehicle by the process of
death. All other suffering and pain is as
nothing to one such as this.
We may note that this perfect configuration of
the mind, body, and spirit
complexes, while within the third-density
vehicle, is extraordinarily rare.

Questioner: Am I to understand, then, that

there is no protection at all if
the Experience of the Mind has chosen the
left-hand path and that path is
traveled? All random catalyst may affect
the negatively polarized individual
as a function of the statistical nature of the
random catalyst. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. You may note
some of those of your peoples
which, at this space/time nexus, seek
places of survival. This is due to the
lack of protection when service to self is
invoked.

169
Ra: I am Ra. We shall repeat our
opinion that there are several concepts
which, in each image, are astrologically
based. However, these concepts are
not without merit within the concept
complex intended by Ra, given the
perception by the student of these
concepts in an appropriate manner.
We wish not to form that which may be
considered by any
mind/body/spirit complex to be a
complete and infallible series of images.
There is a substantial point to be made
in this regard. We have been, with
the questioner’s aid, investigating the
concept complexes of the great
architecture of the archetypical mind.
To more clearly grasp the nature, the
process, and the purpose of archetypes,
Ra provided a series of concept
complexes. In no way whatsoever
should we, as humble messengers of
the
one infinite Creator, wish to place
before the consideration of any
mind/body/spirit complex which seeks
its evolution the palest tint of the
idea that these images are anything but
a resource for working in the area of
the development of the faith and the
will.
To put this into perspective we must
gaze then at the stunning mystery of
the one infinite Creator. The
archetypical mind does not resolve any
paradoxes or bring all into unity. This is
not the property of any source
The Law of One, Book IV, Session 97
which is of the third-density. Therefore,
may we ask the student to look up
from inward working and behold the
glory, the might, the majesty, the
mystery, and the peace of oneness. Let
no consideration of bird or beast,
darkness or light, shape or shadow keep
any which seeks from the central
consideration of unity.
We are not messengers of the complex.
We bring the message of unity. In
this perspective only may we affirm the
value to the seeker of adepthood of
the grasping, articulating, and use of
this resource of the deep mind
exemplified by the concept complex of
the archetypes.

Book 5
Jim: Notice the fundamental
principle in Ra’s first sentence in
response to my question. All of
our distortions and thus all of our
learning are the result of the
limitation of the viewpoint. We
limit our points of view
consciously or unconsciously,
pre-incarnatively or during the
incarnation, in order to gain a
certain bias that may then draw
unto it the opposite bias and
offer us the opportunity for
balance. By being able to see
each bias as an opportunity for
the Creator to know Itself and for
us to know ourselves as the
Creator, we more and more
become able to accept
ourselves. We become able to
find love and acceptance not
only in ourselves but in others
who share our characteristics,
and our viewpoint is widened by
our efforts to learn and to serve.
Such growth is not possible
without biases or distortions,
and these biases and distortions
are not possible without the
choice to limit the viewpoint in
one way or another. So we
determine what lessons and
services we shall attempt during
any incarnation by the way in
which we limit our viewpoint.

155
Questioner: Finally, I have a question
from Jim stating: “For the last two
weeks I have often found myself on
the edge of anger and frustration,
have
had a nearly constant dull pain in the
area of my indigo-ray center, and
have felt quite drained of energy.
Would Ra comment on the source of
these experiences and any thoughts
or actions that might alleviate them?”
Ra: I am Ra. As in all distortions, the
source is the limit of the viewpoint.
We may, without serious infringement,
suggest three courses of behavior
which shall operate upon the
distortion expressed.
Firstly, it would be well for the scribe
to engage, if not daily then as nearly
so as possible, in a solitary strenuous
activity which brings this entity to the
true physical weariness. Further,
although any activity may suffice, an
activity chosen for its intended service
to the harmony of the group would
be quite efficacious.
The second activity is some of your
space/time and time/space taken by
the
entity, directly or as nearly so as
possible to the strenuous activity, for
solitary contemplation.
Thirdly, the enthusiastic pursuit of the
balancing and silent meditations
cannot be deleted from the list of
helpful activities for this entity.
We may note that the great forte of
the scribe is summed in the
inadequate
sound vibration complex, power. The
flow of power, just as the flow of love
or wisdom, is enabled not by the
chary 3 conserver of its use but by
the
constant user. The physical
manifestation of power being either
constructive
or destructive strenuous activity, the
power-filled entity must needs
exercise
that manifestation. This entity
experiences a distortion in the
direction of
an excess of stored energy. It is well
to know the self and to guard and use
those attributes which the self has
provided for its learning and its
service.

3
chary: cautious, careful, wary;
fastidious; particular; sparing, frugal;
stingy [< OE
cearig sorrowful, sad < cearu care]

The entity has denied itself in

order to be free of that which it
calls
addiction. This sort of
martyrdom, and here we speak
of the small but
symbolically great sacrifice of
the clothing, causes the entity to
frame a
selfhood in poorness which feeds
unworthiness unless the poverty
is seen to
be true richness. In other words,
good works for the wrong
reasons cause
confusion and distortion. We
encourage the instrument to
value itself and
to see that its true requirements
are valued by the self. We
suggest
contemplation of true richness of
being.

Ra: I am Ra. We leave you in

appreciation of the circumstances of the
great
illusion in which you now choose to play
the pipe and timbrel and move in
rhythm. We are also players upon a
stage. The stage changes. The acts ring
down. The lights come up once again.
And throughout the grand illusion
and the following and the following
there is the undergirding majesty of the
one infinite Creator. All is well. Nothing
is lost. Go forth rejoicing in the
love and the light, the peace and the
power of the one infinite Creator. I am
Ra. Adonai.

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.

Ra: I am Ra. Each mind/body/spirit or

mind/body/spirit complex has an
existence simultaneous with that of
creation. It is not dependent upon any
physical vehicle. However, in order to
evolve, change, learn, and manifest
the Creator the physical vehicles
appropriate to each density are
necessary.
Your query implied that physical
vehicles accelerated growth. The
more
accurate description is that they
permit growth.

Questioner: I would like to examine a

sample, shall we say, bodily
distortion prior to the veil and how it
would affect the mind. Could Ra give
an example of that, please?
Ra: I am Ra. This general area has been
covered. We shall recapitulate here.
The patterns of illness, diseases, and
death are a benignant demesne
within the plan of incarnational
experience. As such, some healing would
occur by
decision of mind/body/spirits, and
incarnations were experienced with the
normal ending of illness to death,
accepted as such since without the veil it
is clear that the mind/body/spirit
continues. Thusly, the experiences, both
good and bad, or joyful and sad, of the
mind/body/spirit before veiling
would be pale, without vibrancy or the
keen edge of interest that such
brings in the post-veiling mind/body/spirit
complex.

Questioner: At the end of an

incarnation, before veiling, did the
entity
appear physically to have aged like
entities at the end of their incarnation in
our present illusion? Did the Significator
look like that?
Ra: I am Ra. The Significator of Mind,
Body, or Spirit is a portion of the
archetypical mind and looks as each
envisions such to appear. The body of
mind/body/spirits before veiling showed
all the signs of aging which
acquaint you now with the process
leading to the removal from third-
density incarnation of the
mind/body/spirit complex. It is well to
recall that
the difference betwixt mind/body/spirits
and mind/body/spirit complexes is
a forgetting within the deeper mind.
Physical appearances and surface and
instinctual activities are much the
same.

Questioner: Then I was wondering what

was the root reason for the change
in appearance that we see as the aging
process? I am trying to uncover the
basic philosophical premise here, but I
may be shooting in the dark and not
questioning on it correctly. I am trying to
get at the reason behind the
design in this change in appearance when
it seems to me that it would be
just as possible for the mind/body/spirit or
mind/body/spirit complex to
look the same throughout an incarnation.
Could Ra explain the reason for
this change?
Ra: I am Ra. When the discipline of the
personality has led the
mind/body/spirit complex into the fifth
and especially the sixth level of
study it is no longer necessary to build
destruction of the physical vehicle
into its design, for the spirit complex is so
experienced as a shuttle that it is
aware when the appropriate degree of
intensity of learning and increment of
lesson have been achieved. Within third-
density, not to build into the
physical vehicle its ending would be
counterproductive to the
mind/body/spirit complexes therein
residing, for within the illusion it seems
more lovely to be within the illusion than
to drop the garment which has
carried the mind/body/ spirit complex and
move on.
Questioner: I see, then, that it is, shall
we say, when an individual reaches a
very old age it becomes apparent to him
in third density that he is worn
out. Therefore, be is not attached to this
vehicle as firmly as he would be
with a good-looking, well-functioning one.
After the veil, the body is definitely an
athanor for the mind. Prior to the
veiling did the body serve as an athanor
for the mind at all?
Ra: I am Ra. Yes.

Jim: We can only remind ourselves of

Ra’s parting words after this last session
when Ra
suggested “the nature of all
manifestation to be illusory and functional
only in so far as the entity turns from
shape and shadow to the One.”
