The Law of One, Book III, Session by Session

The Law of One, Book III 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. The foreword is issued in the name of L/L Research.

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 III. The body is the foreword and sessions 51 through 75. Those sessions run from 13 May 1981 to 31 October 1981.

The edition I read

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

This file has 178 pages. The printed page numbers run through 178. 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 0-945007-03-5. The 13-digit form of that ISBN is 978-0-945007-03-6. 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. On that page it is signed L/L Research, not with the three personal names. I have not held a physical copy. The 1982 notice, the March 1982 date, 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 51 through 75, edited only to remove some personal material. It says there are fifty previous sessions, collected in The Law of One and in Book II. I am not reviewing those volumes here. It also says the contact continued for 106 sessions. The printed word in the foreword is “session,” singular, beside the number 106. I leave the grammar as printed.

Foreword

The foreword dates the start of the contact to 15 January 1981 and calls Ra a social memory complex. In this book a social memory complex is a group that shares one memory. It points a new reader to Secrets of the UFO and to the earlier Ra books.

It describes Book III as an intensive study of balancing the energy centers and of efficient polarization as the planet makes ready for harvest into fourth density. A density is a stage of evolution. Harvest is the claimed passage from one density to the next. Polarization, here, is the choice toward service to others or service to self. The foreword also promises material on time/space and space/time, on meditation and magic, on psychic attack and the Orion group, and a first glance at the archetypical mind. Orion, in this book, is the name of a negatively oriented group. An archetype, as the later pages use the word, is a deep pattern of mind. This volume only begins that subject.

Sessions 51 and 52, 13 and 19 May 1981

Session 51 opens Book III on the supervision of harvest. Don asks why anyone must supervise a harvest if harvestability is the violet ray of the being itself. Ra says the fruit forms as it will, and that some supervision keeps the bounty from bruise or blemish. Three levels watch. The first is planetary and angelic, including the higher self and inner-plane beings drawn by the person’s seeking. The second is the Confederation, standing at the edge of the steps of light so that a confused being does not stumble for any reason other than the strength of the light. The third is the Guardians, from the octave above Ra’s own, who measure the precise light of each being. The harvest is still called automatic. The helpers are there so each being can express its violet-ray selfhood.

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

Don then asks how a fourth-density craft can arrive if mass grows as speed approaches the speed of light, and why a craft is needed at all. Ra agrees the question is transient, then distinguishes three cases. A few third-density beings use craft between stars and slow their bodies for the duration. Beings from Sirius are given as that type. Others, from fourth, fifth, or sixth density in this galaxy, use the speed of light as a slingshot and arrive with no perceptible time elapsed. Others have learned to view the universe as one being and to move by thought, materializing a craft to enclose the light body. The Orion group is said to be mixed between the second and third of those types.

Don asks why Ra, going to Egypt earlier, used a bell-shaped craft if the move was by thought. Ra calls the vehicle a thought-form on which concentration can function as motivator, and says Ra would not choose the mind/body/spirit complex itself as the focus of that working. I report the Egypt clause as Don’s premise and Ra’s answer about craft. I do not treat it as a flight record. The Egypt page on this site is a separate study.

The rest of the session is the seven energy centers and their crystal structures. In a more developed person each center is said to have a regular crystalline form, as individual as a snowflake. Red is often a spoked wheel. Orange is a three-petaled flower. Yellow is a many-faceted star. Green is sometimes a lotus. Blue may have a hundred facets. Indigo is quieter, often three-petaled. Violet is the least variable and is sometimes called thousand-petaled. A crystal, in this answer, is the claimed shape of a living energy center. The crystals page on this site gathers other claims. Don also asks about Egyptian drawings of birds over horizontal figures, from the back of Secrets of the Great Pyramid. Ra calls them distortions of a teaching about death as a gateway, and links that distortion to what the answer terms Gnosticism. The death itself is said to need release from the body and praise of the process, not repeated ritual.

Session 52, 19 May 1981, stays with travel and with the disciplines of personality. Ra corrects Don’s use of “galaxy.” In the earlier answer the word meant the star system. Other star systems are not said to be more able than this one. Technology that manipulates what is outside the self is ranked far below the disciplines of mind, body, and spirit. The image is a hitchhiker beside a person who walks. Fourth-density negative beings are said to use the slingshot about 80 percent of the time, because they have not mastered the other method. In fifth-density negative, about 50 percent at some point use thought. As sixth density approaches, the negative orientation is thrown into confusion and little travel is attempted.

Don connects this to Wanderers who choose harvest as the time to incarnate. A Wanderer is a being from a higher density who is born here. Ra gives reasons under two heads, self and other-self. The overriding reason is aid to others, by lightening the planetary distortions and by offering catalyst that may increase the harvest. Catalyst means an experience that presses a choice. For the self, a Wanderer who remembers and dedicates itself to service is said to polarize much faster than in the thinner catalyst of a higher density. A further reason sits with the social memory complex, which may send members to recapitulate a lesson, especially the balance of compassion and wisdom in sixth density. Control of thought is rejected as a shortcut. Acceptance of self, forgiveness of self, and the direction of the will are the path named instead.

Session 53, 25 May 1981

Session 53 is the close-encounter session. Don asks whether a named person may attend. The name is left as “(name)” in the print. I do not restore it. The questions then cover why encounters occur, the physical-examination story, and how that story relates to Wanderers, the Confederation, and Orion. Some of the beings are said to look just like us. I read this session as the book’s own account of how the group sorts contacts. Fear is leaned toward the negative telling. I do not treat a reported examination as a medical event.

Session 54, 29 May 1981

Session 54 is the energy-center session that prepares the pyramid questions. Don asks whether a mind/body/spirit complex can activate any of the seven ray bodies, whether every such complex in the creation has seven centers, and how much of a color can be blocked. The first distortion, free will, is the motivator of blockage. Some beings incarnate now are said to manufacture all of their catalyst. I keep that as a claim about a minority of people, not as a claim I can assign to a named person. The session is the bridge. The shapes come next, and Don says he is hunting for a door into the energies of the body.

Sessions 55 to 57, 5 to 12 June 1981

Session 55, 5 June 1981, is where the pyramid becomes the subject. Don quotes an earlier line, that as Ra had been aided by shapes such as the pyramid, so Ra could aid our people. He asks what “intersection” meant when Ra spoke of a diamond on the horizontal plane, one-sixth of the way up each face. Ra says the mathematics of our language are poor for this, and that the shape works with the time/space portions of the complex. Don’s one-sixth calculation is called substantially correct.

Don then asks whether the Queen’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid at Giza was the initiation chamber. Ra tells him he has penetrated the outer teaching. The Queen’s Chamber is not called appropriate for healing, because healing uses a more synergic configuration than the configuration of the centered being. Healing is placed in the King’s Chamber. Ra notes that those names are not Ra’s. A chamber below ground, roughly in line with the King’s Chamber, is called a resonating chamber. The bottom of such a structure, for the distortions used in healing, is said to be open.

Don cites The Life Force of the Great Pyramid on the ankh and resonance. Ra dismisses the analysis as “working with crayons.” The one significance allowed to shapes such as the crux ansata is the placing of mathematical relationships in a code. The apex angle of 76 degrees and 18 minutes is called appropriate for the healing work intended. The small chambers above the King’s Chamber are explained, in general, as part of bringing the person to be healed to an equilibrium of temperature, barometric pressure, and electrical charge. Chimneys control the first two. Light briefly interrupts the life energies. A healer with a crystal may then manipulate the energy centers if the person wills the correction. I report this as the channel’s account of a rite. The Great Pyramid page on this site is a separate study of the building. This session does not survey the stone.

Session 56, 8 June 1981, asks how the pyramid shape works at all. Ra says the shape itself does no work. It is an arrangement for the centralization and the diffraction of upward spiraling light. Don asks for an apex angle of maximum efficiency. The session is short. Carla’s condition is checked first, and Don asks whether the contact should stop. It continues.

Session 57, 12 June 1981, is long. It opens on an attack and on a crystal to be used against it. I do not copy the instructions for that use. The pyramid questions continue. A pyramid placed below a person, the materials of a small pyramid, and the danger of a large four-sided pyramid are all discussed. Wood, plastic, and glass are called appropriate. Tin and lead and other baser metals are to be avoided. The 76 degree apex is called the mark of the powerful shape. Any angle less than 70 degrees is offered as a lesser angle that would not produce the dangerous effect. Ra leaves the use of the steep angle to the group’s discretion.

The learning use of the pyramid is distinguished from initiation. In the system Ra claims, schools were apart from the pyramid and the experiences were solitary. The sentence I quote is printed on page 46.

In our system experiences in the Queen’s Chamber position were solitary. In Atlantis and in South America teachers shared the pyramid experiences.

Ra, through Carla L. Rueckert, The Law of One, Book III, Session 57, 12 June 1981, printed p. 46. Short excerpt for review and study.

That is the Atlantis sentence of this volume. It is one clause of comparison. It does not date Atlantis, and it does not say where the teachers stood. I report it as a channeled contrast with Ra’s claimed Egyptian use of the Queen’s Chamber. Asked how the teaching happened, Ra answers with another question: how does teach/learning ever take place? The last full query of the session leaves the pyramid for space/time and time/space. Those words are called clumsy names for the seen and the unseen. They are said not to hold sway except in third density, though fourth, fifth, and to some extent sixth still work inside some polarized system of them. The seeker is pointed away from the terms and toward a balanced, self-accepting self.

Sessions 58 to 60, 16 June to 1 July 1981

Session 58, 16 June 1981, asks which crystal to use, how to test it, and whether a pyramid must be solid. Four thin sides are compared with a solid. Four wooden rods joined at an apex are said to focus spiraling light. Don asks why some people can do this. I keep the answer in the class of channeled instruction about shape. I do not repeat a building method.

Session 59, 25 June 1981, asks where the more than four billion people now on Earth were at the end of the second major cycle, when Don says a few hundred thousand were here. Ra gives three origins. First, and primarily, those of the sphere called Maldek, able to take up third density again, were gradually loosed from self-imposed limitations of form. Second, other third-density beginners whose patterns matched this planet filtered in through incarnation. Third, in the past approximate 200 years there has been much visiting of Wanderers. All possible opportunities for incarnation are said to be taken because of the harvest.

Don asks how many were transferred at the beginning of the last 75,000-year period. Ra says the transfer was gradual. I quote the Maldek figure from printed page 55.

Over two billion souls are those of Maldek which have successfully made the transition.

Ra, through Carla L. Rueckert, The Law of One, Book III, Session 59, 25 June 1981, printed p. 55. Short excerpt for review and study.

The next sentence says approximately 1.9 billion souls, from many portions of the creation, entered at various times. The remainder are those who experienced the first two cycles on this sphere or who came as Wanderers, some for many thousands of years and some far more recently. The Maldek page on this site is a separate study. These numbers are spoken figures in a trance session. They are not a census I can check.

The same session then describes three spirals of light in the pyramid. The first notion is a scoop of light through the base, a semi-spiral, likened to a bathtub vortex except that the cause is the electromagnetic field of the shape rather than gravity. The spiral used for study and healing begins at or slightly below the Queen’s Chamber, moves in a sharply delineated form through the King’s Chamber, and ends where the top third intensifies the energy. A further spiral of the red end of the spectrum is said to strengthen energy for building. A third spiral radiates from the top and is called energizing.

Session 60, 1 July 1981, asks about the large underwater pyramid off the Florida coast. I quote Ra’s answer from printed page 62.

That pyramid of which you speak was one whose construction was aided by sixth-density entities of a social memory complex working with Atlanteans prior to our working with the, as you call them, Egyptians.

Ra, through Carla L. Rueckert, The Law of One, Book III, Session 60, 1 July 1981, printed p. 62. Short excerpt for review and study.

The other group, besides the Egyptians, is identified as those of South America. Ra says the forces were divided to work within these two cultures. The pyramid shape is then retired as a paramount training aid. Ra calls it an honor and a duty to try to remove the distortions that the use of this shape has caused, and says the optimum shape for initiation does not exist. The reason offered is historical inside the channel. When sixth-density beings aided Ra’s own third-density planet, the teaching helped, because that planet was less bellicose and more philosophical, and had not developed money and power. Among our peoples the same aid became a distortion. A pyramid for meditation, along with rounded, arched, or pointed circular shapes, is still called a help. Training aids are also said to bring the Law of Responsibility. If the quicker learning is not used moment by moment, the aid becomes negative.

Don then asks what the ark of the covenant was. Ra says it was the place where the things most holy, in the understanding of the one called Moishe, were placed. There were not two tablets. There was one writing in a scroll, placed with carefully written accounts of beliefs about the creation by the one Creator. The arrangement is said to have been designed not by the one known to the Confederation as Yahweh, but by negative entities who preferred this method of creating an elite called the Sons of Levi. Yahweh, in this sentence, is a name inside the channel. I do not mix that name with any other divine name used on this site. The ark was said to be charged by an electromagnetic field in its materials. For those whose faith was untarnished by separation, a power designed for negativity is said to have become positive, and Moishe is credited with a completely positive path. Ra refuses to say where the ark is now, because it still exists and locating it would infringe upon the peoples.

The same session explains heat in the Earth during the move from third to fourth density as the planet sharing a long disharmony, on the analogy of a person whose anger eventually shows in the body. The Earth is called honeycomb in structure, with a center that is solid if one calls molten solid. Third-density beings are said to have lived in the honeycomb areas once, and not to live there at this space/time. Bases used by those from elsewhere are asked about. I leave that answer in the class of transient claims Don himself often apologized for asking.

Sessions 61 and 62, 8 and 13 July 1981

Session 61 returns to the care of the instrument and to bodily polarity. Don asks for examples of how feelings affect parts of the body, and how Ra can give such information under the Law of Confusion. That law is the book’s name for free will, the rule that a teacher does not force a proof. I do not copy health instructions. The point I keep is the claim that feelings and the energy centers are one system.

Session 62 is an attack session. A thought-form is asked about. Don asks whether the attack succeeded, what distortion it made, and whether an opening in the protective circle was planned by the Orion entity. The instrument’s physical vehicle is the subject. I treat the narrative as the group’s account of a cost they believed they were paying. I do not have an independent record of the event, and I do not need one to say what the book claims.

Sessions 63 and 64, 18 and 26 July 1981

Session 63 defines vital energy and then counts the beings Don thinks are here for the harvest. He recalls a figure of about 60 million Wanderers. Ra says that memory is approximately correct, with some excess, and that the number does not include harvestable third-density beings who have come for the fourth-density experience. Those others are called a recent phenomenon, not yet in excess of 35,000. They are said to incarnate with a double body in activation. The parents are said to feel a strong connection to spiritual energies during the pregnancy because the double body must be manifested. The combined body will still die according to third-density necessity. These beings are explicitly not called Wanderers, because this sphere is their fourth-density home. The early incarnation is called a privilege for those who have shown a great orientation toward service to others. Children who bend metal are mentioned as a fourth-density phenomenon. I report the counts as channeled estimates spoken on 18 July 1981.

Session 64 refuses to describe the techniques Ra used in third density or in fourth density. The refusal is put under the Law of Confusion. Ra adds that Ra is not elite, and that to narrate specific experiences to a group that honors them would become advice. The work was the same work as ours, joys and sorrows, in circumstances that were somewhat more harmonious. Don asks whether there is any benefit in looking for records near, in, or under the Great Pyramid at Giza. Ra apologizes for seeming shy, and says any words on that subject could infringe free will. I stop where the book stops. I do not invent a cache of records.

The same session describes an eighteen-day cycle for the adept, with the fourth, fifth, and sixth days of the first nine called the excellent days, and with difficulty at the passage from the ninth day to the tenth and from the eighteenth back to the first. As the adept balances, the cycle is said to matter less. Don then cites research that the normal sleep cycle is twenty-five hours. Ra says this is in some cases correct, and gives the Mars sentence I quote from printed page 92.

The planetary influences from which those of Mars experience memory have some effect upon these third-density physical bodily complexes. This race has given its genetic material to many bodies upon your plane.

Ra, through Carla L. Rueckert, The Law of One, Book III, Session 64, 26 July 1981, printed p. 92. Short excerpt for review and study.

The Mars page on this site is a separate study. This answer does not date a migration. It ties a sleep-cycle claim to a memory of Mars and to a gift of genetic material. I report both clauses as the channel, not as genetics.

Sessions 65 and 66, 8 and 12 August 1981

Session 65 asks how conventional warfare could offer chances for seeking and service, and how common a mixed harvest is. A mixed harvest means both positively and negatively oriented beings leaving one planet. Ra speaks more slowly than usual, and Don asks why. A chamber that creates awareness in an entity is also asked about. I take the military question as Don pressing the harvest theme into current history. The answer remains a channeled opinion about opportunity, not a strategy.

Session 66 is about healing. Other ways of seeking healing are listed. Desire in the person to be healed is required. A vertical spine is asked about as a help in meditation. A small pyramid under the head is discussed, including material and size. The Giza King’s Chamber is recalled as a problem case, and Don asks whether the same geometry, at a comfortable height under a cushion, would be all right. I do not copy dimensions. The claim is that proportion, not a particular ancient stone, is what the channel treats as the working part, and that even that aid is secondary to the will of the person who wants to be healed.

Sessions 67 to 70, 15 August to 9 September 1981

These four sessions are the psychic-attack block. A fifth-density negative entity is the figure Don questions. Session 67, 15 August 1981, asks how strong the attack is and why it is strong now, which body the entity uses to travel, and how a paradox of service is to be solved. Session 68, 18 August 1981, asks what happened in a particular case of displacement into negative space/time or negative time/space. Session 69, 29 August 1981, asks why the trance state is different, whether accident, anesthetic, or drugs open the same door, and whether a Wanderer has ever been infringed upon by a negative adept and placed in negative time/space. Session 70, 9 September 1981, asks why the higher self is reluctant to enter negative time/space, whether there have been Wanderers here for the past 50,000 years, and whether certain constructions were made in time/space or in space/time.

I group them because they are one argument. The book claims that a negatively polarized adept can greet the group, that trance and other losses of ordinary consciousness change the terms of that greeting, and that the higher self does not casually follow a person into the negative analog of time/space. Wanderers are included in the risk. I do not adopt the attack as an event I can verify. I also do not dismiss the group’s fear of it. The sessions are full of care for Carla, and the answers keep returning to free will. A location, a name, and a technique that would let someone copy the greeting are exactly what these pages keep withholding. I withhold them too.

Sessions 71 to 75, 18 September to 31 October 1981

Session 71, 18 September 1981, asks about working with the unmanifested being in order to accelerate evolution, about healing in positive and negative time/space, and about what percentage of stars have planetary systems. The unmanifested being is the book’s name for the self that is not yet expressed in the incarnation. I keep the star question as a side question. The session’s weight is on inner work.

Session 72, 14 October 1981, is about the banishing ritual. Don asks how to make it more effective, what it means to raise up any personality, and whether adding Shin to the divine name, so that Yod-Heh-Vau-Heh becomes Yod-Heh-Shin-Vau-Heh, is a help. He asks whether the precautions now make it dangerous for the Orion entity to lead the instrument away. I spell the names as the questions spell them. I do not provide a ritual text. The historical point inside the channel is that the group is borrowing Hebrew letters as a magical protection, and that Ra is being asked to grade the borrowing.

Session 73, 21 October 1981, asks whether the banishing ritual has helped the contact, and then moves to desire and will as the factors in the working. Don asks the orientation, toward this kind of communication, of the one known as Jesus of Nazareth. I report the question. A channeled comment on Jesus is not a reading of the Gospels. I keep it in the class of claims this voice makes about religious figures.

Session 74, 28 October 1981, describes the trance state and then asks why Sanskrit and Hebrew sounds have the property the group has been using, and how the users of those sounds determined them. Ra’s answer, as the question frames it, involves impression on the material of genetic coding which became language, and names the entity known as Yahweh in the Hebrew case. Again I do not mix that name with any other. The claim is about the origin of a sacred language inside this channel, not about a manuscript I have collated.

Session 75, 31 October 1981, is the last session of the book and the start of the glance at the archetypical mind promised in the foreword. Don traces a chink in protection to a decision of Jesus to take the path of martyrdom, asks how an Orion entity could act through the linkage of the word Hosanna, and asks about a person who sings the Mass in a demanding manner. The sounds, if precisely vibrated, are discussed as a use for the adept. The three aspects of the magical personality are still being opened when the session closes. Ra leaves the group in the love and the light of the one infinite Creator.

The archetypes are only begun. The foreword is right about that. The tarot, the Tree of Life, and the full set of images are not the work of this volume.

What this volume adds to the story

Book III is still a channeled record. The parts that touch this site’s subjects sit in a few sessions, and they sit inside a much longer argument about energy, harvest, and attack.

Atlantis appears twice, both times as a comparison. In session 57, teachers shared the pyramid experiences in Atlantis and in South America, while Ra’s claimed system kept the Queen’s Chamber solitary. In session 60, a pyramid off the Florida coast is said to have been aided by sixth-density beings working with Atlanteans, before the work with the Egyptians. Egypt is the main stage of the pyramid answers, from session 55 onward, and it is Don who brings the bell-shaped craft in session 51. The Great Pyramid is discussed as a healing and initiation instrument with chambers, chimneys, spirals, and an apex angle. Ra also says the shape is no longer the right emphasis, and refuses to point to hidden records at Giza.

Maldek, in session 59, is the primary source of the present population in this telling, “over two billion souls,” plus about 1.9 billion from elsewhere, with Wanderers as the remainder. Mars, in session 64, is a memory that affects sleep and a race that has given genetic material to many bodies here. Wanderers are numbered, in session 63, at about 60 million with some excess, kept separate from about 35,000 double-bodied arrivals. None of these figures is an archaeological count.
