The Witterings of Myles Posts

Caveat: I’ve already said this in the previous “Overview” post, but it bears repeating. Unless directly quoting Ra (always in quotes and usually with a reference), anything I write here will inevitably be coloured (“distorted”) by my own perceptions and experience. Different things will resonate for different people. There’s simply no substitute for reading the source material . . .

Note: If you haven’t already done so, I do recommend you take a look at my two previous Law of One posts, “the story” and “overview.” The first gives some background on how it all came about and how received, and the second more on the identity of Ra and the essential message of the Law of One. This post builds on those two . . .

Densities

Ra speaks of a ladder of ascending densities:

• First density is that of physical manifestation, in which air, fire, earth and water combine to create the conditions for life. On Earth, first density took about two billion years (76.13).

• Second density is where biological life emerges and evolves into ever-greater complexity (9.13). Second density on Earth took about 4.6 billion years (76.13).

• Third density is where self-aware beings evolve (13.21). Third density lasts for a relatively short (in cosmic terms) time—just 75,000 years (6.15).

Many will recognize parallels here with the Genesis creation story in the Christian Bible, but it also meshes pretty well with many other earthly creation myths: the world moves from chaos through to the appearance of land and sea, then the arrival of life-forms of increasing complexity, and finally the arrival of self-aware beings—in the case of Earth, us.

The ladder of densities continues on through fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh, each of which represents a step up in spiritual evolution, with its own learning opportunities.

Ra states that they are of the sixth density (14.19).

Earth Transition

Earth is a third-density planet. It’s basically a schoolroom, in which we humans are faced with daily challenges (Ra calls them “catalyst”). Through these challenges we learn our lessons.

If we don’t learn from them this time round, the same challenges will repeatedly present themselves until we do. Once we have learned our third-density lessons, we can progress up the ladder to the next density.

The name of the game is spiritual evolution and development.

Ra mentions that third density lasts for a comparatively short 75,000 years (6.15).

And here’s the thing: Earth is coming to the end of that 75,000-year period, is herself moving into fourth density (6.18).

And that has big implications for the self-aware life-forms that inhabit her . . .

Harvest

The allotted 75,000-year third density is itself split into three 25,000-year periods. At the end of each of each of these periods, those who are deemed to have successfully learned their lessons get the chance to graduate to the next (fourth) density.

Ra calls this sieving and evaluation process “harvest.”

Asked what the harvest was at the end of the first 25.000-year period, Ra’s answer is brief and succinct—”The harvest was none” (14.15).

Well bravo us . . .

At the end of the second 25,000-year period, Ra tells us that the harvest was “extremely small” (14.17), but that all those who could have progressed to fourth density chose to remain on Earth in order to help those remaining.

Ra tells us we’re now pretty much at the end of that whole 75,000-year period, at which time all are harvested regardless.

Those who do not qualify get to redo third density again (and again and again) elsewhere, until they too have learned the lessons they set for themselves . . .

However, Ra is not optimistic about how we’re all going to do this time round: “there are few to harvest” (13.23).

The Choice

So the big question is: how do we qualify for graduation to the next density?

As Ra explains it, it seems incredibly simple. And yet none of this is taught in any of our schools, colleges, universities—anywhere. (Why?)

First thing we have to do is make a choice: to serve others or to serve ourselves.

• For those who choose to serve others, any who manage to do this for more than 50% of their lifetime qualify (17.31);

• For those who choose to serve themselves, the percentage needed to qualify is a very stiff 95% (17.32).

Ra insists that both these avenues are acceptable according to the Law of One—as Ra puts it: “The Law of One blinks neither at the light or the darkness, but is available for service to others and service to self” (7.15).

The important thing here is to make the choice. Those who do have a chance to progress; those who don’t fall into what Ra calls the “sinkhole of indifference” (17.33) and are certain to have to redo a third-density incarnation.

I’ve barely scratched the surface here. The Law of One is an incredibly rich and complex resource.

To pick a few topics at random from the 300+-term Index:

• the various human energy centres;
• visits to Earth from other planets;
• pyramids: how made, their function(s);
• the Confederation of Planets;
• free will;
• the history of our solar system;
• sexuality.

As always, look for yourself, decide for yourself, find what resonates for you. Cleave to that and don’t worry about discarding anything that doesn’t.

This is your journey, to decide upon your own truth.

Salu!

Presumptuous even to think one could give an ‘overview’ of something as rich and complex as the teachings of Ra. But we have to start somewhere . . .

If you haven’t already done so, please read The Law of One—1: the story first. It gives important background (with photos) on how the Ra contact came to be and how the teachings were received.

First, a bit of housekeeping:

1. Ra is not a single being, but a unified planetary group—in their words a “social memory complex”—and so should properly be referred to in the plural (‘Ra are’ . . . ). But this rings strangely to English-speaking ears, so wherever it sounds better I’ll refer to Ra in the singular (‘Ra says’ . . . ). Just bear in mind that any such singular usage should always be understood as referring to a plural entity.

2. The concept of distortion is met with often in Ra’s teachings, and can mean several things. In this case, know that anything I (or anyone else) says about The Law of One, any description or analysis that you or I might make, is coloured (‘distorted’) by our own perceptions and experience. No getting away from this. Ra also confesses that language is a blunt tool, sometimes incapable of accurately putting across all that is to be said.

3. Although Ra is an entity more highly evolved and knowledgeable than we, they make no claim to authority, describing themselves simply as “a humble messenger of the Law of One.”

4. There is an absolute distinction to be made between the actual Law of One and the The Law of One books. The latter are just transcripts of sessions in which Ra speaks about the Law of One. To make this distinction clear, I’ll use italics for the title of the books.

5. When referencing the The Law of One books, I’ll use the accepted citation method involving two numbers. The first refers to the session number, the second to the number of the question in that session.

All that said, let’s dive in.

About Ra

Ra is (actually ‘are,’ see above) old—really old. A date initially given as 2.6 million years ago is mentioned (89.8)—corrected immediately and almost unbelievably during the same answer to 2.6 billion years ago—as the time when they went through the kind of material (third-density) experience we are currently living here on Earth, in their case on Venus.

They have long since left Venus, and are now at the sixth-density level of evolution (14.19).

Ra’s interaction with mankind started way back before our recorded history, in response to a call from those who wanted to learn about the true nature of the universe.

As part of their mission to teach the Law of One, members of the Ra collective walked the Earth among the Egyptians some 11,000 years ago. They came as brothers and sisters (not gods) but their physical appearance in our density—”tall and somewhat delicate” with a “golden luster” (6.4)—meant they had trouble integrating with the local population, who tended to glorify, even deify them.

Equally, Ra’s teachings were appropriated by the royal elite, who robbed the teachings of their inherent compassion and kept them for themselves.

Because of this the Ra people left Earth, never to walk on it again (1.5).

Ra accepted responsibility for the way in which their teachings had been distorted, and have ever since seen it as their duty—and honour—to try and make reparation.

They admit it was naïve to think their teachings would be shared for the benefit of all, and confess “we cannot plumb the depths of the distortion complexes which infect your peoples.” (3.6)

 About the Law of One

The Law of One is beyond the limitations of language, beyond the limits of our third-density understanding, beyond the specifications of any physics.

As Ra says, “There is no possibility of a complete source of information of the Law of One in this density.” (26.4)

It may only be approximated in language by stating that all things are one.

There is only one being in all the infinite universes. That one being, the Creator, experiences itself in infinite forms, infinite entities, infinite situations—all of equal, sacred value—but remains ever One.

And that you are.

Is that it?

This revelation—arresting and philosophically profound though it is—might seem at first glance to offer little of practical value to we humans, as we try to make sense of our dense and chaotic world and just get through the day.

But The Law of One books are a record of many sessions with Ra. During these, Don Elkins grilled Ra on any number of questions, each of which Ra attempted to answer as completely as possible without infringing free will, using the imperfect tool of language.

We’ll cover some of the main themes in a future post, but here are just a few of the myriad subjects on which Ra speaks:

• disease and healing;
• karma, releasing of same;
• universal and galactic cycles;
• the history of humanity;
• the coming transition;
• our purpose in life;
• the nature of our “reality.”

and more, oh so much more . . .

How you can find out more

There is no substitute for reading the source material.

L/L Research (L/L stands for Love/Light) make digital editions of The Law of One books available for free on their website (here) in pdf, mobi and epub formats.

Much of this material is also available in other languages, accessed via the ‘Translate’ button at the top-right of the site. As of January 2022, languages listed are Chinese, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian.

A series of videos on YouTube introduces many of the features and concepts of the Law of One.

The books are an almost bewilderingly rich resource, discursive in structure, and in language that can sometimes be hard to fathom.

But no need to try and encompass it all—just take whatever resonates for you. It will be the start of your own unique journey with the material and with the teaching.

And to quote from Gary L. Bean’s The Ra Contact: A Concept Guide:

“Ra reminds us that the Law of One abhors no one. It also blinks neither at the light nor the darkness, but is available to any who open the gateway. It works the same whatever your particular personality traits and biographical history, whether you are an intellectual giant or an intuitive feeler, an extrovert or an introvert, whether you came from riches or poverty, or whether you did all the ‘right’ things or all the ‘wrong’ things. No one trait, behavior, or thread of the personal history writes the story. It is the way each aspect of the self is integrated and balanced within the whole in forgiveness and acceptance.”

In 1961, a physics professor called Don Elkins with a passionate private interest in the big questions like What is the meaning of life? How big is the universe, and how does it work? What don’t we know? was given a book detailing how a group meditating together might receive information via telepathic contact with extraterrestrial entities.

Much of this chimed with his own researches, so to test the hypothesis he staged a group meditation experiment of his own with some of his students. He didn’t tell them what the purpose of the experiment was.

The results were inconclusive. However, one of the attendees—a girl called Carla Rueckert—seemed particularly receptive.

In 1968, they finally got together, set up a company called L/L Research, and continued their work of research and seeking.

An off-gridder called Jim McCarty had meanwhile heard an interview with the two on radio. Eventually through mutual acquaintances he was introduced, was accepted into the team, and moved in with them in December 1980.

Twenty-three days later, on January 15, 1981, a voice spoke through Carla, now acting as channelling instrument herself, and said “I am Ra.”

Ra identified themselves as a multiple-soul entity from a higher dimension, who had made contact in order to help humanity through a forthcoming transition.

During subsequent sessions Carla would slip into unconsciousness and Ra would operate her vocal chords. So—rather like Edgar Cayce before her—to begin with at least she was quite unaware of what was said during the contact.

Over 106 sessions, Elkins put more than 2,500 questions to Ra, who answered with a truly extra-human calm and patience.

Protocols developed for the sessions included meditation, a protection ritual, massage to alleviate Carla’s arthritic pains after staying motionless for an hour or more during the contact, and meticulously placed objects—sacred text (for Carla, a heartfelt Christian, the Bible), chalice of water, candle, incense—that would both tune the contact and reassure Carla as she left her body.

Ra was careful not to claim any authority, referring to themselves simply as “humble messengers of the Law of One.”

The contacts were all taped and then transcribed by McCarthy. The the result was a series of five books published by L/L Research entitled The Law Of One (The Ra Material).

The contact with Ra continued until the death of Don Elkins in 1984.
