The Law of One, Book II, Session by Session

The Law of One, Book II continues the Ra contact. A channel is a person who speaks for another claimed source. Carla L. Rueckert is the channel. Don Elkins asks the questions. James A. McCarty, called Jim in the foreword, is named with them at the close of that foreword.

I read this as a channeled record. Ra is the name the voice gives itself. The title page calls Ra an humble messenger of the Law of One. I do not treat that voice as checked testimony from a being outside Earth.

This review stays inside Book II. The body is the foreword and sessions 27 through 50, with sessions 44 and 45 left out. Those printed sessions run from 21 February 1981 to 6 May 1981.

The edition I read

I read the official PDF from L/L Research, The Law of One, Book II. The library page that offers it is The Law of One.

This file has 125 pages. The printed page numbers run through 125. The contents page is numbered iii. The title page and the copyright leaf have no printed number.

The copyright leaf dates the notice 1982 and names L/L Research, a subsidiary of the Rock Creek Research & Development Laboratories, Inc. It reserves all rights. It prints ISBN 0-945007-02-7. The 13-digit form of that ISBN is 978-0-945007-02-9. The publisher line is L/L Research, P.O. Box 5195, Louisville, KY 40255-0195. The same leaf prints Library of Congress Catalog Number 90-72156.

The foreword is dated 17 March 1982 in Louisville and is signed by Don Elkins, Carla L. Rueckert, and James A. McCarty. I have not held a physical copy. The 1982 notice, the March 1982 signature, and the catalog number 90-72156 can all sit on the page together. I do not turn the catalog number into a second publication year.

The book is in copyright. The free PDF is still a copyrighted file. The short quotations below are excerpts for review and study. The rest of this page is my paraphrase.

The foreword says these pages are an exact transcript of sessions 27 through 50, edited only to remove some personal material. A note on printed page 100 says sessions 44 and 45 were removed because they contain only personal material. I do not fill that gap from anywhere else.

Foreword

The foreword dates the start of the contact to 15 January 1981. It calls Ra a social memory complex. In this book a social memory complex is a group that shares one memory. It says the Law of One, and some of what it calls the distortions of that law, came out of the contact.

It points a new reader back to Secrets of the UFO, the 1976 book by Don and Carla, and to the first twenty-six sessions, published as The Law of One. I am not reviewing those books here. This volume says it builds on them.

The stated subject is the metaphysical principles of spiritual evolution, the energy centers of the body, and the links of mind, body, and spirit. A density, in this book, is a stage of evolution. The foreword promises more on Wanderers, the various densities, healing, and the energy exchanges it ties to sex, illness, and meditation. A Wanderer, in this book, is a being from a higher density who is born here.

It warns that sessions 27 to 29 may be hard without the physics of Dewey B. Larson, and it names The Structure of the Physical Universe as a place to start. I do not treat Larson as proved by this contact. I treat the warning as the group’s own reading advice.

On printed page 4 the foreword says that a question on page 52 uses an equation that is not the classically correct form in special relativity, because the c squared term does not belong there. It says Dr. Andrija Puharich received that form from a source called The Nine, so the group kept the term as received. I leave that as an editorial note. I do not check the equation.

The foreword also says the full contact ran to 106 sessions, printed in four books. This review does not follow the contact past session 50, except for the one sentence on page 100 about the two removed sessions.

Sessions 27 to 29, 21 to 23 February 1981

Session 27 opens Book II on 21 February 1981. Don says he wants this book to stay with what does not pass away, and he apologizes in advance for falling back on transient questions. He asks for definitions, starting with intelligent infinity.

Ra, through Carla, treats the attempt to split “intelligent” from “infinity” as a poor use of words. The answer Don accepts is that there is unity, that unity is all there is, that the potential of that unity is intelligent infinity, and that the work drawn from the potential is intelligent energy. Free will is named as the first distortion, because the Creator will know Itself and so grants total freedom in the ways of knowing. Love is named as the second distortion, a focus that forms intelligent energy out of the potential.

Don brings in Larson. He offers vibration, then the photon, then denser particles, as a likeness for love creating light. Ra says that likeness is correct. Color is then tied to the patterns Love sets on the original light so that the Creator may know Itself. The session stops because Carla is low on vital energy. Ra asks for a simpler position of her body.

Session 28, 22 February 1981, takes up Don’s picture of infinity expanding like a bubble at the speed of light. Ra calls any such picture incorrect as a picture of the one intelligent infinity, and correct only for one particular Logos. A Logos, here, is a focus of the Creator that has chosen its own natural laws. The undifferentiated infinity is left as a mystery. The rest of the session stays with color, rotation, and the claim that light condenses into the chemical elements because Love orders the living light.

Session 29, 23 February 1981, asks whether our sun is a sub-Logos. Ra says yes. Don then asks whether that sub-Logos made this planetary system in all of its densities, and whether every being is some sort of sub-Logos. I keep these as terms inside the channel. A sub-Logos is the book’s name for a smaller focus of the same Creator, such as a sun. I do not treat the sun as a person on the strength of this session.

These three sessions are the physics block the foreword warned about. They define the words the later sessions will use. They do not give a history of Atlantis or of Egypt.

Session 30, 24 February 1981

Session 30 separates mind, body, and spirit, then walks the densities. First density is called mind and body without movement, a random thing, with the Creator already in the smallest piece. Second density is growth and a turn toward the light, which awakens the spirit. Third density begins when the complex can choose service to self or service to other-self.

Don asks about second-density life on this planet, including bipeds and dinosaurs in the same time, and about bisexual reproduction. Ra ties that reproduction to the chance, in third density, of many kinds of service between beings who are drawn to each other. The reason given is larger than biology. It is said to be the key to what happens in all densities: more opportunity for the Creator to experience Itself.

Don then asks for a brief metaphysical history of the planets around our sun. Ra limits the answer to spheres where individual mind, body, and spirit complexes have been, are, or will be. Venus is called Ra’s native earth, a place of rapid evolution because of harmonious interaction. The Mars sentence is the one I quote. It is printed on page 27. I give it once, as a short excerpt for review and study.

Upon the entity known to you as Mars, as you have already discussed, this entity was stopped in mid-third density, thus being unable to continue in progression due to the lack of hospitable conditions upon the surface.

Ra, through Carla L. Rueckert, The Law of One, Book II, Session 30, 24 February 1981, printed p. 27. Short excerpt for review and study.

The next sentence says that planet shall be undergoing healing for some of your space/time millennia. I report both lines as Ra’s account through Carla. The Mars page on this site is a separate study. This session does not measure a surface, and it does not date the stop except as “mid-third density.”

Saturn is said to have a great affinity for infinite intelligence, and to be dwelt in, in its magnetic fields of time/space, by those who wish to protect this system. Uranus is said to be moving slowly through first density, with the potential to move through all densities. Earth is set aside. Ra says its metaphysical history is already well known to the group and has been spoken of at length.

The session ends on the center of the galaxy. Spiritual density is said to be greater there because those planetary spheres began earlier, not because the Logos failed to spread itself. Carla is left with what Ra calls a muscular spasm from holding still.

Sessions 31 and 32, 25 and 27 February 1981

Session 31 is about sexual energy transfer. Don asks because Carla has asked him to. Ra treats sexual energy as a primal way the Creator experiences Itself, then discusses magnetic attraction, population density, and the claim that early sexual experience can be imprinted. Don asks whether the Orion group uses that imprint as a gateway toward negative polarization. Orion, in this book, is the name of a negatively oriented group. I do not treat the sexual material as medical advice. It is a channeled map of energy, with blockages and transfers named as positive or negative.

Session 32 continues that map through the rays. A ray, here, is a band of energy, named by a color from red through violet. Don is told to move one of his labels from the third ray to the fourth, or green. Indigo and blue transfers are distinguished. Violet is distinguished from the others. Energy transfers of this sexual kind are said to occur in fourth, fifth, and sixth densities, still polarized, but with mates chosen for harmony. Seventh density is said not to need this exchange, because body complexes are no longer recycled.

Don then asks about Wanderers of the fourth, fifth, and sixth densities who incarnate here. Fourth-density Wanderers are said to be few, and to choose people who seem full of love or in need of love, with a high chance of errors of judgment because of compassion. The fifth-density Wanderer is said to be little moved by other people’s rays, unlikely to marry, and likely to dislike childbearing because the planetary vibration feels improper beside the density of light. The sixth-density case is compared to fusion. Those Wanderers are said to be likely to have considerable trouble in a third-density life, though Ra will not call the trouble necessary. It depends on the person.

I keep the word Wanderer as a term in this channel. I do not have a way, from this session, to pick a living person and call that person a Wanderer.

Sessions 33 to 35, 1 to 6 March 1981

Session 33, 1 March 1981, opens on how to keep the contact from draining Carla. Don asks whether a true color could be made by passing light through a crystal of that color. Ra says that would be one way of approaching it, and then speaks of the lack of true colors and of how differently people feel vibration. A crystal, in this answer, is a claimed tool for color and vibration, not a stone I have tested. The crystals page on this site gathers other claims.

Don asks about the film The Ninth Configuration. Ra says the group mind was scanned and the film was seen that way. The talk then turns to a colonel who had to decide. I have not used the film as evidence for the contact.

The same session describes a seniority system of incarnation. Near harvest, the people in bodies are said to be those with the best chance of using a life to become harvestable. Harvest, in this book, is the claimed passage from one density to the next. Don asks whether the service-to-self side has the same seniority system. Catalyst is listed, including physical pain. Catalyst, here, means an experience that presses a person to choose.

Session 34, 4 March 1981, defines karma, then takes up contagious disease, birth defects, and the self facing society. Two examples are given of positively oriented people no longer in the body. One, called Albert, is said to have gone into a society that seemed barbaric to him, in order to heal, to have raised great energy and money, and to have loved the organ. The other, called Martin, is said to have carried negative orange and yellow patterns and still kept the green ray open, polarizing more toward service to others because the test was severe. Don asks for the last names. Ra answers, on printed page 50, that these entities are known to you as Albert Schweitzer and Martin Luther King.

I report the names because they are printed. I do not adopt the ray reading as a biography of either man. The rest of the session turns to gadgets, toys, television, and war. Television is called, in sum, a distraction and a sleep, without ignoring people who try to put truth and beauty through it. War is called a chance to accelerate in either direction. Ra corrects a slip from “third ray” to “green ray.”

Session 35, 6 March 1981, takes public figures as catalyst. Franklin D. Roosevelt is discussed. His teacher is said to be his wife. The physical limit on his body is called only partly his own doing. The guidelines of the life were said to be set before incarnation, and the limit was activated when love of power crowded out the chance to serve. Adolf Hitler is then discussed as a case of confusion, an attempt to open the higher rays without the green-ray key, a basically negative pattern of elite and enslaved, and a failure to become harvestable on the negative path. Two subordinates are named as possibly harvestable in a negative sense: one known as Hermann, and the other known, as it preferred to be called, Himmler. Others, Ra says, were still incarnate, so they are not discussed.

Don then asks about Abraham Lincoln. The question assumes a fourth-density being used that body. Ra says it is possible to speak of the motivation, and tells Don to shape the query by his own discernment. I stop at Don’s question. I do not turn this session into a life of Lincoln. Book II is offering channeled comments on people the group already thinks it knows.

Sessions 36 and 37, 10 and 12 March 1981

Session 36 defines the mind/body/spirit complex totality and the higher self. The higher self of every entity is asked about, and Don is told the programming of parallel experiences. Meditation and strong polarization are offered as ways the channels open.

Himmler is the example of the negative path. Ra says that path separates, first of all the self from the self, and that Himmler did not choose to seek guidance from any source but his own conscious drives. A sixth-density negative being is said to be extremely wise, to see the spiritual entropy of refusing unity, and at some point to reorient in an instant so that evolution can continue. The positive higher self is not pictured as a surprise that flips him.

Don asks whether a negatively oriented sixth-density being ever comes back as a Wanderer. Ra says that once a certain point in the wisdom density is reached, the risk of forgetting is extremely unlikely, because the polarization is selfish and wise enough to see the jeopardy. Occasionally one does it, to polarize further toward the negative. That case is called extremely unusual. The positive Wanderer is said to risk the forgetting in order to radiate love. The negative Wanderer is said to risk it in order to offer other people the information of negative polarization.

Don asks for historical examples of sixth-density negative Wanderers. Ra withholds them. The information could be harmful. The group is told to view the entities about them as part of the Creator.

The last question asks what percentage of Wanderers on Earth have penetrated the memory block. I quote the figure Ra gives, from printed page 64.

We can approximate the percentage of those penetrating intelligently their status. This is between eight and one-half and nine and three-quarters percent.

Ra, through Carla L. Rueckert, The Law of One, Book II, Session 36, 10 March 1981, printed p. 64. Short excerpt for review and study.

Ra then splits the rest into grades of a feeling that one is different, a bit over fifty percent of the remainder with a fairly clear set of signs, and nearly one-third of what remains after that aware only that something is different. I report the percentages as a channeled estimate. They are not a census.

Session 37, 12 March 1981, is short. Don asks for a definition of spiritual mass, and thanks Ra for an explanation of the mathematics. I do not rebuild that mathematics from a definition I have not quoted.

Session 38, 13 March 1981

Don opens by asking whether nuclear energy was brought into this density about forty years earlier so that the beings who had caused the destruction of Maldek would have another chance to use it peacefully. Ra rejects the order of the story. I quote the correction, from printed page 67.

This is incorrect in that it places cart before horse, as your people say.

Ra, through Carla L. Rueckert, The Law of One, Book II, Session 38, 13 March 1981, printed p. 67. Short excerpt for review and study.

The next sentences say the desire for this information attracted the data, and that the data was not given for a reason from outside influences. From that point, Ra says, Don’s reasoning is correct: entities had desired the second chance he mentioned. The mechanism of the arrival of the information is called inspiration, a strong desire to know plus an ability to open to intuition. I keep Maldek inside that exchange. The Maldek page on this site is a separate study. This session does not describe the destruction. It assumes the group already spoke of it, and it refuses Don’s “why” for nuclear energy.

The same session gives an example of a balanced Wanderer’s rays: even red, orange, and yellow, an extremely bright green, a dimmer indigo, a strong blue, and a violet that is both the unique spectrum and a pure violet around the whole. A fully potentiated balance is then pictured as rays stacked until the surrounding color is white.

Don asks whether a third-density planet can form a social memory complex that still operates in third density. Ra says only in the last part of the density, when beings are harmoniously ready to graduate. Negatively oriented third-density social memory complexes are said to be unknown to Ra. Positive ones are called rare. An entity from the planetary body of the star Sirius is said to have approached this planet twice, late third density, part of a third-density social memory complex. Asked whether that complex evolved from trees, Ra says the question approaches correctness: second-density vegetation on the planet called Dog, close to the tree as we know it, graduated into third density. I report that as the channel’s natural history. I do not treat it as astronomy.

Sessions 39 to 41, 16 to 20 March 1981

Session 39, 16 March 1981, asks about a transmission from “The Nine” in a transcript by Henry Puharich. The line Don reads is “CH is a principle which is the revealing principle of knowledge and of law.” Ra calls the veil a result of the first distortion, and unwraps the principle as the constant, or Creator, and the transient, or the incarnate being. “The Nine” describe themselves, in Don’s question, as the nine principals of God. I leave both the transcript and Ra’s gloss as material the group is comparing. This is the same Nine the foreword mentioned beside the equation. I do not decide whether the two sources are one source.

Session 40, 18 March 1981, is Don’s simple model of this portion of the universe. He asks how long the move from second density to third density took. Ra says about 1,350 of our years, a generation and a half in the figure Don recalls. The move on this planet from third to fourth density is called hard to estimate. Some beings incarnate here have begun fourth-density work, while the third-density climate of planetary consciousness slows the process. The possibility given at this nexus is somewhere between 100 and 700 years, and Ra says that cannot be accurate because of the volatility of the peoples. The photon’s vibration is said to have increased already. Thoughts becoming things is the example, and anger becoming cancer is the illustration. The vibratory nature of the environment is called true color green, heavily over-woven with the orange ray of planetary consciousness.

I take the 100 to 700 years as a channeled range spoken on 18 March 1981, not as a calendar I can check.

Session 41, 20 March 1981, asks whether sixth-density beings create manifestations of the sun in their density, and what the simplest manifested being is. Don mentions what he calls a polymorphous dynaflagallate, with an iron-based cell rather than a copper-based one. I keep the word as he spoke it. Ra ties the early second-density use of orange ray to movement and survival, and says that in third density those who cling to orange ray have a more complex problem of self. The session is a long walk up the energy centers from very small life to the human complex. I do not repeat each step. The claim I keep is the one the session is built to teach: the same colors run from the large creation down into the body.

Sessions 42 and 43, 22 and 24 March 1981

Session 42 is about balance. Don suggests that a balanced person would not be swayed toward positive or negative emotion when attacked. Ra’s answers move to how catalyst is used, not to which polarity a person has already picked. Africa’s starvation is one of Don’s examples. Exercises for the attention span are requested. I read this session as practical counsel inside the channel, aimed at the group, and I do not take it as a survey of Africa.

Session 43, 24 March 1981, opens on the sheet and the pillow under Carla’s neck. A line of interference is said to cross the crown of the head. The talk then moves to second-density beings that need blood, and to whether fourth density still uses physical pain. Don lists aids to concentration: silence, temperature, comfort, a Faraday cage, screening of light, and a constant smell such as incense. He says Ra had called this isolation one function of the pyramid. Ra answers that all of those aids only stimulate the will, and that the will may be focused on any object or goal. The Faraday cage and the isolation tank are called gadgets. What is recommended instead is a sylvan place, used for no other purpose, where the group agrees to lay aside every goal but the meditative seeking of the infinite Creator.

That is the pyramid’s only real appearance in this volume. It is an analogy for a quiet room. The Great Pyramid page on this site is a separate study. Book II does not measure Giza.

Sessions 44 and 45 are not in this book

Printed page 100, after session 43, says that Session 44, 28 March 1981, and Session 45, 6 April 1981, contain only personal material and were removed from Book II for that reason. The contents list agrees. It runs from session 43 to session 46. I do not reconstruct the two sessions. The next printed session is 46, on 15 April 1981, so the book itself leaves a gap of about three weeks.

Sessions 46 to 48, 15 to 22 April 1981

Session 46 asks whether anger would have the same physical effect on a person polarizing toward service to self as on a person polarizing toward service to others, and whether it would also cause cancer. Ra says the catalytic mechanisms depend on the use the catalyst is put to, not on the polarity already chosen. A failure to accept the other-self, on the positive side, or a failure to control the other-self, on the negative side, is tied to cancer. The plan of that catalyst is discussed. Ra also says that in many cases catalyst is not used. I report this as a channeled account of illness. It is not a medical finding, and I do not offer it as one.

Session 47, 18 April 1981, returns to the bodies that correspond to the rays. Fourth-density negative is discussed, and Don asks whether blue is missing from it. A crystallized entity is defined. Don asks which bodies remain just after the death of the yellow-ray chemical body, and what stimulus would make an earth-bound spirit or a lingering ghost. The harvest criterion given here is the ability to do fourth-density work. Positive harvest is said to carry the full spectrum of true-color time/space patterns. I keep “crystallized” as Ra’s word for a more regular activation of the energy centers, the same family of claims as the crystal of session 33.

Session 48, 22 April 1981, says Carla’s vital energies are improving. Don asks who supervises incarnation and who sets the seniority list. Ra gives two answers. One concerns those directly under the Guardians, for incarnations that happen automatically. The other concerns beings who are consciously aware of the process. A Wanderer of green, blue, or indigo true-color core is said to have rested in that core, and entry into incarnation is said to require the investment of the indigo body. Fifth-density negative Wanderers are called very, very few, because they fear the forgetting. Orion-type publicity is said to draw an audience that is not seeded by seniority of vibration to a great extent. Audiences who come without that stimulus are said to be more oriented toward illumination. Ra tells the group to forget the counting.

The Confederation of Planets page on this site is a short separate page drawn from this same family of material. It is not this review.

Sessions 49 and 50, 27 April and 6 May 1981

Session 49 asks for a reading of Carla’s condition, then for positive and negative polarization in general, for a recommended way to awaken the kundalini, and for a meditation technique. Kundalini is a word Don uses. Ra says the upward move of the meeting place of cosmic and inner vibration has been called that by our peoples, and that it is better thought of as that meeting place. Trying to raise it without the metaphysical principles of magnetism is said to invite great imbalance. Two sensible methods are named. One is to seat within the self the experiences that are attracted to it. I do not turn the rest into a meditation manual. The caution is the part I keep.

Session 50, 6 May 1981, is the last session in the book. It returns to how experience is drawn to a person, to negative polarization sharing love of self, and to how holding visual images in mind lets an adept polarize without outer action. In green ray, thoughts are said to be beings. In our illusion, Ra says, this is normally not so. The adept is then called a living channel for love and light into the planetary web. In true-color green density the hands of all are open to the eye, with no deception and no desire for deception, so much may be done in harmony while the complex gains little polarity from it.

Don asks whether the right and left brain, and the energy fields of the body, relate to the pyramid as a way of focusing energy. Ra says the pyramid shape is but one shape that focuses the in-streamings for beings who become aware of them, and that the shape of the physical brain is not significant for that concentrating. Don is told that forgetting the pyramid will help the study of the sensations on the head. Those sensations are assigned to the energy centers that are ready: violet at the violet-ray level, indigo between the brows, and tingling or visual images where a center is blocked. The most normal pattern for the adept is indigo together with violet. Indigo is called the gateway into healing, magical work, prayerful attention, and the radiance of being. Violet is the spiritual giving and taking from Creator to Creator.

The session, and the book, end in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator.

What this volume does not settle

Book II is a channeled lesson in densities, rays, catalyst, and Wanderers. Atlantis is not a subject of these sessions. Egypt is not a subject of these sessions. The pyramid appears as a metaphor for isolation in session 43 and as one focusing shape in session 50. Mars appears as one sentence in session 30. Maldek appears as the premise of a question in session 38, which Ra corrects before accepting the wish for a second chance.

The dates that are firm in this volume are the session dates, from 21 February 1981 to 6 May 1981, and the removal of 28 March and 6 April. The 1,350 years, the 100 to 700 years, and the Wanderer percentages are spoken figures. I do not promote them to history.
