🗞️ About This Series (brief)
In each entry we walk, question-by-question, through a single session of The Ra Contact, offering clear summaries, careful commentary, and friendly signposts to related companion texts and official resources. This entry covers Session 13 (January 29, 1981).
🧭 Session Snapshot
Date: January 29, 1981
Setting: Louisville, KY; tunable trance channeling with a dedicated support circle
Cast: Don Elkins (Questioner) • Carla L. Rueckert (Instrument) • Jim McCarty (Scribe)
Big Themes: The First Three Distortions (Free Will → Love/Logos → Light) • Creation cascade: Logos → sub‑Logos → sub‑sub‑Logoi • Densities (seven “colors” of light; the octave) • Rotation of light and how densities form • Sun as a sub‑Logos • Purpose of 3D: The Choice & accelerated learning • Philosophy ≫ cataloging cosmology
🌟 Key Takeaways
From Infinity to experience. Creation begins with Infinity becoming aware—Intelligent Infinity. Its first distortion is Free Will; its second is Love (the Logos); from Love arises the third distortion, Light, the building block of all forms. (LoO 13.5–13.9)
Nested creators. A galactic Logos designs the broad “physics”; sub‑Logoi (stars like our Sun) customize those laws locally; sub‑sub‑Logoi (mind/body/spirit complexes—you and me) create by choosing and interpreting experience. (LoO 13.6–13.10, 13.13–13.15)
Densities are rotations of light. The seven densities (red→violet) are quantized rotations of Light/Love. An octave is the full seven‑density cycle, with the eighth as both summation and gateway to a new octave. (LoO 13.12–13.14)
Purpose of third density. 3D exists for The Choice (service‑to‑others or service‑to‑self) and for rapid polarization; incarnation compresses lessons for accelerated growth. (LoO 13.x overview)
Philosophy over trivia. Ra redirects from fine cosmology toward practice: understand the distortions at play and live their implications (respect free will, embody love, cultivate light through attention). (LoO 13)
🧩 Full Q&A with Commentary
Notation: Each subsection lists the question number (e.g., 13.6), a brief Summary, and Commentary & Notes with links. Unless noted, references are to Ra, Session 13 (see also LoO 13).
13.1–13.4 — Opening orientation
Summary. Don asks for the earliest knowable aspect of creation and the path from Infinity to experience. (LoO 13.1–13.4)
Commentary & Notes. Ra encourages framing in terms of distortions rather than linear time: from unity, differentiation appears so experience can happen.
13.5–13.9 — The First Three Distortions
Summary. Free Will (First distortion) potentiates Love/Logos (Second); the Logos focuses and creates by means of Light (Third). Light is the substance structured by the Logos’ choices. (LoO 13.5–13.9)
Commentary & Notes. This is metaphysical grammar: Free Will is the verb “may,” Love the loving intention/design, and Light the noun—that which can be shaped.
13.10–13.11 — Logos → sub‑Logos → sub‑sub‑Logoi
Summary. Our galaxy is a Logos; our Sun is a sub‑Logos; humans are sub‑sub‑Logoi participating in creation through choice and interpretation. (LoO 13.10–13.11)
Commentary & Notes. This establishes a fractal co‑creatorship: every being is both created and creative.
13.12–13.14 — Densities & the octave
Summary. Densities correspond to discrete rotations of light; the spectrum red→violet is an analogy for this progression. The octave is the seven‑density cycle; the eighth begins a new order. (LoO 13.12–13.14)
Commentary & Notes. Don’t over‑literalize “colors”—think qualities of consciousness that complexify.
13.15–13.17 — Suns & local rules
Summary. Sub‑Logoi (stars) may vary natural laws within the Logos’ bounds; this yields diverse planetary classrooms for The Choice. (LoO 13.15–13.17)
Commentary & Notes. Diversity is a feature: different worlds emphasize different lessons while honoring free will.
13.18+ — Purpose of 3D & ethical pivot
Summary. The point of 3D is polarization via The Choice; Ra redirects from cataloging to living the distortions. (LoO 13)
Commentary & Notes. Philosophy becomes practice: respect free will (non‑infringement), seek love in each moment, and attend to light via meditation.
🛠️ Practice Corner — Living the Three Distortions
Why: Session 13 is the blueprint; here’s a daily micro‑ritual.
Honor Free Will (30–60s). Before a conversation, silently affirm: “May I not infringe. May I ask, not impose.”
Choose Love (10s). Whisper inwardly: “Where is love here?” Take one tiny action (soften tone, listen fully).
Cultivate Light (2–5 min). Sit in quiet attention. On each exhale, release distraction; on each inhale, sense a gentle brightening at the heart. (Practice lens: LL101.)

🧠 Study Prompts
Where did you respect someone’s free will today—and where could you do better tomorrow?
What’s one choice you can make in the next hour that clearly feeds service‑to‑others?
Which quality of light (patience, clarity, courage) wants your attention this week?
🏁 Closing Note
Session 13 is the architect’s sketch: Free Will → Love/Logos → Light; Logos → sub‑Logos → you. The invitation is simple: honor free will, choose love, cultivate light—and let your day become a small act of co‑creation. Next: Session 14—harvest thresholds and the mechanics of polarity.
