🗞️ 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 19 (February 8, 1981).
🧭 Session Snapshot
Date: February 8, 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: Second ➜ Third density transition (animals/trees/minerals/places) • How 3D bodies formed for lessons (speech, cranial capacity, dexterity) • Why other‑selves are the quickest catalyst • When STS path begins (conscious manipulation) • Polarization as “voltage” (greater potential ⇒ more work) • Astrology’s root in cosmic orientations • Tuning note: sexual energy helps; marijuana hinders this instrument
🌟 Key Takeaways
What “enspirited” really means. Entities don’t get a soul added; rather, they awaken to intelligent energy within every cell/atom. Animals, trees, and even minerals/places (rarely) can become individualized via love and relationship with 3D beings. (LoO 19.2–19.4)
3D bodies changed fast. As 3D vibrations took hold, certain 2D forms transfigured within ~1.5 generations: loss of body hair, altered jaw/forehead/neck for easier speech, and larger cranium for abstract thought—plus a weaker vehicle to push learning beyond brute survival. (LoO 19.9–19.12)
Catalyst works best with mirrors. The quickest way to learn is with other‑selves; dealing only with self is like living without mirrors. Third density is designed so social friction/reflection accelerates polarization. (LoO 19.13)
Where STS begins. Early 3D bias sees family/tribe as “self.” The split appears when one perceives others as others and chooses to manipulate them for personal gain—this is the STS path. (LoO 19.15–19.16)
Polarity = usable power. Just like electricity, greater potential difference (positive or negative) yields greater ability to do work in consciousness. Paradoxically, the more polarized you are, the easier it is to change polarity, because you have more power & awareness. The truly stuck are the unconsciously repetitive. (LoO 19.19–19.20, 19.18)
Astrology’s root. It’s one way of perceiving primal distortions along probability/possibility lines based on cosmic configurations when spirit enters the body/mind complex. (LoO 19.21)
Method note. For this instrument, sexual activity is beneficial to the contact; marijuana is not (causes discontinuity in mind). Alignment and even wearing shoes matter. (LoO 19.22–19.23)
🧩 Full Q&A with Commentary
Notation: Each subsection lists the question number (e.g., 19.9), a brief Summary, and Commentary & Notes with links. Unless noted, references are to Ra, Session 19 (see also LoO 19).
19.1–19.4 — From 2D to 3D; animals, trees, minerals/places
Summary. Three kinds of 2D entities most often individualize: animals (most common), trees (notably responsive), and, rarely, minerals/places energized by loving relationship with a 3D entity. “Enspiriting” = awakening to the intelligent energy already within.
Commentary & Notes. This reframes evolution as relationship—love and attention “vest” the other‑self with self‑awareness. (LoO 19.2–19.4)
19.5–19.8 — Confederation aid to 2D harvest
Summary. A portion of the Confederation specializes in second‑density harvests; some Earth 2D forms graduated without outside stimulus; others responded to telepathic vibratory aid.
Commentary & Notes. Service diversifies across densities; not all aid is via 3D channels. (LoO 19.5–19.8)
19.9–19.12 — How the 3D body fits the 3D lesson
Summary. 3D requires self‑awareness and abstract thought. Thus the body shifts for speech, cranial capacity, dexterity, and is weaker so that mind/social learning are emphasized. Change occurred in ~1.5 generations.
Commentary & Notes. Evolution here is teleological (shaped by Logos’ aims), not random drift alone. (LoO 19.9–19.12)
19.13 — Why other‑selves matter
Summary. Social life is the great catalyst; without others we lack mirrors to see our patterns.
Commentary & Notes. Practice lens: seek feedback, welcome friction kindly—it’s the fast track. (LoO 19.13)
19.14–19.16 — The first split toward STS
Summary. New 3D entities carry a family/tribe‑as‑self bias (essentially unpolarized). The break occurs with conscious manipulation of other‑self for self’s gain.
Commentary & Notes. Clear ethical marker: intent to control distinguishes STS from merely parochial love. (LoO 19.14–19.16)
19.17–19.20 — Polarity as power; change is possible
Summary. Greater polarization ⇒ greater potential to do work (exact electrical analogy). And high polarization actually makes change of polarity easier; it’s the unconsciously repetitive who are most stuck.
Commentary & Notes. Encouragement: commit to a path; clarity boosts capacity—and freedom. (LoO 19.18–19.20)
19.21 — Astrology, briefly
Summary. A symbolic way to view primal distortions based on cosmic orientations/configurations at entry into the illusion.
Commentary & Notes. Use carefully; probabilities, not fate. (LoO 19.21)
19.22–19.23 — Comfort & care
Summary. Sexual energy supports this instrument; marijuana disrupts; ensure footwear and careful alignment.
Commentary & Notes. Method = ethics: care safeguards clarity. (LoO 19.22–19.23)
🛠️ Practice Corner — “Mirrors over solitude”
Why: Session 19 says other‑selves are the quickest catalyst for growth.
Mirror ask (30s). Before a convo, set one intent: “Let this be a mirror for me to learn love/truth.”
Micro‑choice (1 min). When friction arises, ask: “Am I moving toward service or toward control?” Choose one tiny STO action (clarify, listen, or kindly decline).
Polarity journal (2 min). Note one clear STO moment today and one STS/avoidance moment. Plan a half‑step improvement for tomorrow.
Tree practice. Offer conscious appreciation to a plant/tree/animal you encounter—honor 2D’s upward spiral. (LoO 19.2–19.4)

🧠 Study Prompts
In this week’s hardest interaction, what mirror was offered to you?
Where do you notice the first stirrings of manipulation—and what’s a softer, more transparent alternative?
What would a 1% increase in your chosen polarity look like today?
🏁 Closing Note
Session 19 grounds the big picture in everyday encounters: we evolve fastest with each other. Love invests, speech clarifies, friction teaches—and each tiny choice increases the voltage of your path. Next: Session 20—more on early Earth, Maldek/Mars threads, and the deepening mechanics of polarization.
