103.2 Questioner: What is the situation with respect— and condition with respect— to the physical problems with the digestive portions of the body that Carla had previously?

Ra
Ra

The yellow-ray— We must correct ourselves. I am Ra. Please expel breath across Carla’s chest area.

[This was done as directed.]

The channel is now satisfactory. We find the yellow-ray, chemical body of Carla to be exhausted, but to be attempting the improvement by action such as exercise and diet. We may state that the infection has not completely left the body complex, although it is far less virulent.

Don Elkins
Carla asks the question why she lost her joy in the recent past? Would Ra comment, please?
Don Elkins
Ra
Ra

Carla made a free-will decision not to address the physical catalyst causing great pain by means of the allopathically prescribed chemical compound which Carla was sure would be efficacious due to its reliance upon the suggestions of Ra. Thus the catalyst was given in a more complete form. The outer service to others became nearly impossible, causing the entity to experience once again the choice of the martyr; that is, to put value in a fatal action and die or to put value on consciousness of the creation and of the One Creator and, thereby, live. Carla, through will, chose the latter path. However, the mind and mental/emotional distortions did not give the support to this decision necessary to maintain a state of unity which this entity normally experiences and has experienced since its incarnation’s beginnings.

Since this catalyst has been accepted, the work begun to remove distortions blocking the indigo ray might well be continued apace.

Don Elkins
Could Ra recommend work appropriate for removing indigo-ray blockage?
Don Elkins
Ra
Ra
We cannot recommend for the general situation for in each case the distortional vortex is unique. In this particular nexus, the more appropriate working is in the mental and mental/emotional powers of analysis and observation. When the strongest and least distorted complex is set in support, then the less strong portions of the complex shall be strengthened. This entity has long worked with this catalyst. However, this is the first occasion wherein the drugs to dull the pain that sharpens the catalyst have been refused.
Don Elkins
What is the present situation with respect to our fifth-density, service-to-self oriented companion?
Don Elkins
Ra
Ra
This entity has, for some period of your space/time, been at rest. However, it has been alerted to the workings taking place and is soon to be your companion once again.
Don Elkins
Can Ra recommend anything that Carla can do, or that we can do, to improve any of the energies of Carla?
Don Elkins
Ra
Ra
This is previously covered material. We have outlined the path Carla may take in thought.
Don Elkins
I didn’t mean to cover previously covered material. I meant to add any of this to specifically focus on at this time, the best possible thing that we or Carla could do to improve these energies, the salient activity.
Don Elkins
Ra

Before responding we ask your vigilance during pain flares as the channel is acceptable but is being distorted periodically by the severe physical distortions of the yellow-ray, chemical body of Carla.

Those salient items for the support group are praise and thanksgiving in harmony. These the group has accomplished with such a degree of acceptability that we cavil not at the harmony of the group.

As to Carla, the journey from worth in action to worth in esse is arduous. The entity has denied itself in order to be free from 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 Carla to value itself and to see that its true requirements are valued by the self. We suggest contemplation of true richness of being.

Don Elkins
Is there anything else that either we or Carla can do that would specifically work on the vital energy to increase it of Carla?
Don Elkins
Ra
Ra
We have come up against the full stop of free will.
Don Elkins
In that case I have a few questions on Card Seven in order to finish off our first run-through of the archetypes of the mind. There is a T with two right angles above it on the chest of the entity in Card Seven. We have guessed that the lower T has to do with the possibility of choosing either path in the transformation and the upper two angles representing the great way of the left or the right-hand path in a mental transformation that makes the change from space/time into time/space, you might say.
Don Elkins
Ra

The use of the tau and the architect’s square is indeed intended to suggest the proximity of the space/time of the Great Way’s environment to time/space. We find this observation most perceptive.

The entire mood, shall we say, of the Great Way is indeed dependent upon its notable difference from the Significator. The Significator is the significant self, to a great extent but not entirely influenced by the lowering of the veil.

The Great Way of the Mind, the Body, or the Spirit draws the environment which has been the new architecture caused by the veiling process and, thusly, dipped in the great, limitless current of time/space.

Don Elkins
I am guessing that the wheels on this chariot indicate the ability of the mind to be able now to move in time/space. Is this correct?
Don Elkins
Ra
Ra

We cannot say that the observation is totally incorrect, for there is as much work in time/space as the individual who evokes this complex of concepts has assimilated.

However, it would be more appropriate to draw the attention to the fact that although the chariot is wheeled, it is not harnessed to that which draws it by a physical or visible harness. What then, O Student, links and harnesses the chariot’s power of movement to the chariot?

Don Elkins

I’ll have to think about that one. Unless… I’ll come back to that.

We were thinking of replacing the sword in the right hand with the magical sphere and a downward scepter in the left hand, similar to Card Five, the Significator, as more appropriate for this card. Would Ra comment on that, please?

Don Elkins
Ra
Ra
This is quite acceptable, especially if the sphere may be imaged as spherical and effulgent.
Don Elkins
The bent left leg of the two sphinxes indicates a transformation that occurs on the left that doesn’t on the right, possibly an inability in that position to move. Does this have any merit?
Don Elkins
Ra
Ra

The observation has merit in that it may serve as the obverse of the connotation intended. The position is intended to show two items, one of which is the dual possibilities of the time-full characters there drawn.

The resting is possible in time, as is the progress. If a mixture is attempted, the upright, moving leg will be greatly hampered by the leg that is bent. The other meaning has to do with the same right angle, with its architectural squareness, as the device upon the breast of the actor.

Time/space is close in this concept complex, brought close due to the veiling process and its efficaciousness in producing actors who wish to use the resources of the mind in order to evolve.

Don Elkins
I am assuming that the skirt is skewed to the left for the same reason that it is in Card Number Four, indicating the distance service-to-self polarized entities keep from others, and I am also assuming that the face is turned to the left for the same reason that it is in Card Number Five, because of the nature of catalyst. Is this roughly correct?
Don Elkins
Ra
Ra

Please expel breath over the breast of Carla from right to left.

[This was done as directed.]

That is well.

Your previous supposition is indeed roughly correct. We might also note that we, in forming the original images for your peoples, were using the cultural commonplaces of artistic expression of those in Egypt. The face is drawn to the side most often, as are the feet turned. We made use of this and, thus, wish to soften the significance of the side-long look. In no case thus far in these deliberations, however, has any misinterpretation or unsuitable interpretation been drawn.

Don Elkins
Our appropriate time for working right now, I believe, is close to a close, and I would like to ask, that is, the two times we had to expel breath— what is the problem, or what is— Why in this session do we have to do that, when we didn’t in most others?
Don Elkins
Ra
Ra

Carla is unaware of the method used to contact Ra. However, its desire was particularly strong, at the outset of this working, for this working to transpire. Thus it inadvertently was somewhat premature in its leaving of the yellow-ray, physical body.

In this state the object was dropped upon Carla which you call the tie-pin microphone. The unexpected contact caused injury of the chest muscles and we would advise some care depending from this working to avoid stress so that this injury may heal. There is a metaphysical component to this injury and, therefore, we wished to be quite sure that all portions of the environment were cleansed. Since this place of working has not its usual level of protection we used your breath to so cleanse the environment, which was at risk.

Don Elkins
Is the reason for the lack of usual level of protection the fact that it has been a considerable time since we have worked in here?
Don Elkins
Ra
Ra
No.
Don Elkins
What is the reason?
Don Elkins
Ra
Ra
The lack of regular repetition of the so-called Banishing Ritual is the lack of which we spoke.
Don Elkins
From this I assume that it would be most appropriate to daily perform the Banishing Ritual in this room. Is this correct?
Don Elkins
Ra
Ra
That is acceptable.
Don Elkins
I don’t want to overtire Carla. We’re running close to time. I will just ask if there is anything we can do to improve the contact or make Carla more comfortable, or if there is anything else that Ra could state at this time that would aid us?
Don Elkins
Ra
Ra
All is well. The alignments are conscientious. The love and harmony of the group are strong. We would simply remind you that care be taken with Carla’s chest, that the Banishing Ritual be resumed regularly, and that all things continue in love and in light. We thank you for the opportunity to serve.
