The Law of One, Ra, an Humble Messenger - What is the Law of One?

I am Time_Spiral. Greetings in love and light. If you're here, reading this article, then you fall into one of two categories.

1. Category one: What the %@#$ is the Law of One, or the Ra Material?
   
2. Or Category two: You know exactly what the Law of One is, and are interested in absorbing as much information, opinions, and thoughts about it as you can ... including articles like this one.
   

(pun intended by the way *winks*) This article will naturally appeal to those in each category, but is primarily intended to help those interested in finding out more, learning the basics, and where they can find the Law of One PDFs or the books for further study.

The Law of One, also known as the Ra Material, is a series of books that were channeled by Carla Rueckert, Don Elkins, and Jim McCarty between 1981 and 1984. The entity in which they channeled refers to itself by name, as Ra, and eventually explains that it is not one entity like you might imagine, but a concept known as a Social Memory Complex.

The scope of this article is not to validate or endorse the authenticity of this material, or the practice/claims of channeling. It is to discuss the material in a basic form, and provide information about how to learn more or find the Ra Material in book or PDF form.

The word channeling generally conjures up some mixed emotions. Some people think the concept is utterly ridiculous, while others will devote much, if not all, of their spiritual growth and identity to the information ascertained from channeled sources. Then there are those who have never heard of such a thing, and may have never realized how much of our daily life is affected by alleged channeled sources.

The concept of channeling is believed to be that a human's consciousness can be tuned in such a way to act as a receiver, or conduit, for another entity to communicate through. The human used for this is generally referred to as an instrument, from the channeled entities perspective. The Channeled entity can then use the instrument to communicate to those who will listen. The entity that is channeled is generally believed to be one of an ascended realm of consciousness, or some other realm of the supernatural.

Sound familiar? It should ...
hint: every major religious figure from antiquity has claimed to hear the voice of God, feel his divine inspiration, act on his behalf autonomously, or in other-words, has claimed to channel an alien entity (God?) and shared the knowledge with man ...

A typical session ivolves the conjuring of Ra, a greeting, and then a series of questions and answers. Quite often many of the questions in any given session are asking Ra to clarify something he has said previously, like definitions, or concepts.

The questions posed to Ra by the team are fairly comprehensive, and calculated, but not nearly as complex or interweaving as the responses they get from Ra. The way in which Ra speaks his answers, and interacts with the team is one of the most interesting aspects of these books! The language, syntax, and metaphorical concepts are often times as bewildering as they are illuminating, and will sometimes have you pondering them for days.

Here is an example of a question and answer ...

Questioner: Thank you. And thank you for that explanation of the
mathematics too. Could you define spiritual mass?

Ra: I am Ra. This will be the last full question of this session.

Spiritual mass is that which begins to attract the out-moving and on-going
vibratory oscillations of being-ness into the gravity, speaking in a spiritual
sense, well of the great central sun, core, or Creator of the infinite universes.

Interestingly, Ra precedes every statement he makes with "I am Ra". I believe he uses this protocol to indicate that it is him speaking through the channel, and not the instrument, or any other entity that may be trying to manipulate the instrument (corrupt the signal).

As you can see, his answer is rather difficult to comprehend. In all fairness though, taking one question an answer out of context like this is NOT a good example. You really need to be reading the whole chapter (session), and should really start from the beginning of the book series. Many words, phrases, and concepts are defined in a linear fashion and are generally NOT re-explained throughout the rest of the book.

I've heard some people talk about the Law of One and densities, or true colors, or chakras? What is all this about?

Very true. At the core of the Law of One teachings is the concept of densities, or true colors. These can be likened to the Chakras of some belief structures. Admittedly, it is an incredibly confusing concept to grasp, and the more you learn about it, the more enlightening it is, but at the same time you realize the more you don't understand.

The true colors; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet represent various stages in the development of consciousness, and universal energy, but they also represent distinct concepts involved with with spiritual progression, and self-realization. For instance ...

• Red, or the First Density, is the vibrational state that represents the pure essence of raw survival. It encompasses things like the will to survive, sexual reproduction, and the building blocks of an entity; minerals, energy, nutirients, forces, etc ...
• Green, or the Fourth Density, is the vibrational state of realizing true and unconditional love. In this state love is in the extreme and outways the Blue energy, which is wisdom.
  

This article is not a lesson in the Law of One, so I will not go any further into this topic matter, but one of the primary focal points, laid on the teachings of Densities and the True Colors, is the concept of honesty to yourself, and balance, while experiencing and moving through them (Densities). It is also interesting to note that some believe, according to Ra, that our planet, as a whole, is currently in the True Color Yellow, or third density - which is the density of realizing that you are one among many, part of a society, and is generally fraught with difficulties and friction.

Ra also claims that Earth, as a whole, is going through the process of ascending from Yellow into Green. And at the pinnacle of this process, something called The Harvest takes place.

So Ra is a social memory complex? Any relation to the ancient Egyptian pharaoh?

Ra tells a captivating story about how they (Ra) made a mistake a few thousand years ago and attempted to aid the humans known to us as Ancient Egyptians. They "appeared in the skies, and disseminated advanced knowledge to certain individuals". Now, the reason why they communicated with this team, in the 80's, is because they are attempting to atone for the mistake they made few thousand years ago. Really, quite fascinating.

Ra's society is millions of years older than our society on Earth. They had long ago ascended through the ranks of the true colors and now vibrate on the six level, which is Indigo, and exist as a "Social Memory Complex" where their entire society is One. They are now performing the duties of an entity in the Sixth Density, which includes answering the calls of those in need, like Earth. Their next phase, the seventh Density, is a mystery even to them, and is apparently the reintegration with the Infinite One Creator.

Most people on Earth right now, in all walks of life, in all disciplines, believe in reincarnation in some way shape or form, and just refer to it as something else ... We could go down the list, but I don't want to be redundant (other articles).

The Law of One has an especially interesting take on the process of ascension, and reincarnation. Instead of reincarnation being an arbitrary manifestation, it is a much more personal choice. Ra speaks of how each entity, while in between incarnations, assumes a form that allows them to review the previous life and make a choice on which new life to incarnate into. It is always a choice. The entity choosing to incarnate speaks with, and deals with the entities that will be involved in its life on a level rarely experienced or known by the everyday consciousness.

So, in other words, when you die, the Law of One says you'll get to choose - from an ascended consciousness's perspective - the most opportunistic life in which to reincarnate with. You would think the choice an easy one ... but look around. Look at all the lives that were chosen. Each experience is precious - no matter how horrific it may seem.

But there's a catch ...

In order to reincarnate in another third Density experience, which is much more rich in the potential for learning an spiritual growth, you have to willing choose let go all of which you've gained up an to that point. In other words, you will start the new life/incarnation as a baby - with no conscious memory of your previous life. The Law of One refers to this concept as the Veil of Forgetfulness, or the Law of Confusion.

Think about that choice. Return, as a human, repeat another third density life, and willingly forgo any recollection of your past life. And when you're in this ascended state, you are reviewing and experiencing every life you've ever lived. Gotta be a tough thing to give up ... I wonder why we do?

Ascension - rising through the ranks of the true colors, and leaving this meat computer behind

Whether it is convenient, ironic, or clever, according to Ra we currently reside - primarily - in the third Density, or "yellow". While some certainly vibrate in different colors, the overall tonal value of Earth right now is Yellow (although the argument is being made that the Earth as a whole, and possibly the Solar System, is ascending in the next Density [see: 2012], which happens to be green [going Green? Get it? HA! Sorry ...]).

Life in the third Density is rich with experience. The potential for spiritual growth is said to be much greater in this density than in some of the "lighter" densities (Green and above). So the purpose here is for us to move through these experiences and imbalances of the the colors within us, and gradually work towards balance. However, the Law of One also seems to realize that nothing can exist in true balance and must lean one way or another.

At the core of ascension and the true colors are the polar opposites

• Service to self (-)
  
  or
• Service to others (+)
  

The difference appears obvious at first. But during the process of spiritual evolution, and ascension, people tend to walk a pretty determined path. The Law of One gets pretty deep into this concept of service to self and service to others, and it gets rather complex. The philosophy is fascinating and will cause a level of introspection, doubt, and reflection like you've never experienced before.

Ra also goes as far as to use percentages to describe the difference between the two paths. While I think Ra offers this rather ridiculous suggestion grudgingly, they offer it nonetheless. When harvest comes around if 51% of your summed decisions are made in true service to others (+ positive) then you have finished the third density and will be harvested with Earth as it makes its transformation into the fourth density, in which case a new life with new challenges and goals will begin. Any less, and you'll need to repeat another third density experience ... I'm doing it no justice here. It is actually MUCH stranger and captivating than this.

But at this point I'm going to wrap it up. If there is enough interest I might consider writing a follow up article, but the truth of the matter is this. If you're interested, read the books. They are fascinating, will make you think, and will inspire some pretty deep philosophical and introspective thoughts.

Like I said before, I'm not here to gauge or determine the authenticity, because I really don't think it is that important. The efficacy of teaching, and learning, and experience is not necessarily connected to the authenticity of its source in relation to the expected result - it is what you make of it for yourself and other selves.

As you can see I've posted the books from Amazon on the right if you wish to purchase them. But naturally, I'd probably just read the Ra Material PDFs. And on that note, the first one hundred pages or so of the first book is talking about L/L Research, the group, and everything they did that leads up to the contact with Ra. It is pretty interesting, and should be read, but can REALLY drag. If you want to hear an Alien entity, who claims to be a Social Memory Complex, representing an achievable ascended level of consciousness answer questions from a group of humans in the 80's about religion, spiritual maters, and physics ... skip ahead until Ra starts talking ; )

Be peaceful on your way,
