🧭 Session Snapshot
Date: February 11, 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: Early Egypt contacts (visibility, scanning, “not enough calling”) • Walking among the people as brothers (why it failed) • Pyramids: planning, thought‑form construction, and Giza timeline • Akhenaten and the brief restoration of the Law of One • Disease & root causes in Egypt (money/greed/power) • South American contact (sun‑oriented, underground cities/pyramids, later distortions to sacrifice) • Council approvals & duty to recoup distortions • A light aside about popular media
🌟 Key Takeaways
First Egyptian scan ≈ 18,000 years ago. Ra appeared in the skies over Egypt (crystal‑powered bell‑shaped craft) but found no appropriate calling, so departed without action. Visibility was allowed because it made no difference in a culture that expected wonders. (LoO 23.1–23.5)
Walking among humans didn’t work. Ra later materialized in bodies to teach as “brothers,” but discovered that for each word there were ~30 unintended impressions, which confused seekers. They withdrew to reassess. (LoO 23.6)
Pyramid plan approved; Giza timeline. After Council approval, Ra responded to a general calling: thought‑form entry ≈ 11,000 years ago, deeper planning ≈ 8,500 years ago, and the Great Pyramid formed ≈ 6,000 years ago, followed by other pyramids over ~1,500 years. (LoO 23.6)
Akhenaten’s window. The pharaoh Akhenaten perceived Ra’s teaching with minimal distortion and strove to order initiation/healing around the Law of One—briefly. After his passing, the teachings were perverted, and the structures reverted to “royal/power” uses. (LoO 23.6)
Healing as spiritual–mental–physical alignment. Pyramid healing funnels instreamings through spirit into the tree of mind to release blocks; activate the spiritual shuttle first, then address mental/physical blockages. (LoO 23.7)
Imhotep named. The surprise appearance of the first pyramid coincided with the incarnation of a great architect, later deified as Imhotep. (LoO 23.8–23.9)
Egyptian disease & deeper roots. Average lifespan in Akhenaten’s time was ~35–50 years; proximate causes included Nile‑borne and food/water disease, but the root was social drift into money/greed/power, enslaving others and forgetting the Creator in each. (LoO 23.13–23.16)
South American contact: for all people. Sun‑oriented peoples were visited by light beings; they built underground/hidden cities and pyramids meant for meditation/rest for all, not only initiates. Plans were recorded; a second visit (Council‑approved) corrected distortions—yet later times grossly perverted teachings into human sacrifice. That SMC now holds the honor/duty to remain until distortions are balanced. (LoO 23.15–23.16)
Media footnote. A contemporary sci‑fi film contained distortions of the Law of One scenario; Ra acknowledges the resemblance without endorsing accuracy. (LoO 23.19)
🧩 Full Q&A with Commentary
Notation: Each subsection lists the question number (e.g., 23.6), a brief Summary, and Commentary & Notes with links to LoO 23 passages.
23.1–23.5 — First Egyptian appearance: visible craft, no calling
Summary. Ra scans for a serious seeking; allows visible craft because cultural context renders it neutral; departs ≈ 18,000 years ago.
Commentary & Notes. Spectacle isn’t service if it doesn’t meet a clear, free call. → LoO 23.1–23.5.
23.6 — Walking among humans & the “30 impressions per word” problem
Summary. Materializing as teachers confused students via unintended impressions; Ra withdrew and re‑planned aid via pyramids.
Commentary & Notes. Method must match ends; being communicates more than words. → LoO 23.6.
23.6 — Timeline: thought‑form entry → Great Pyramid → others
Summary. Thought‑form presence (~11k yrs) → planning (~8.5k yrs) → Great Pyramid (~6k yrs) → other pyramids (~1.5k yrs).
Commentary & Notes. Ra distinguishes thought‑form construction from using local materials for subsequent builds. → LoO 23.6.
23.7 — What is pyramid healing?
Summary. It funnels spirit → mind → body energy; first awaken the spirit shuttle, then unblock mind/body.
Commentary & Notes. Healing is alignment, not magic; technology serves disciplined consciousness. → LoO 23.7.
23.8–23.9 — Imhotep & the “surprise” appearance
Summary. The pyramid’s sudden appearance was timed with a great architect (later deified as Imhotep).
Commentary & Notes. Ra avoids personality cults yet notes synchronicity of genius. → LoO 23.8–23.9.
23.10–23.12 — Success or failure?
Summary. Ra reframes outcome: few inspired seekers justify the attempt; distortions are responsibilities to be recouped, not “failures.”
Commentary & Notes. The Brothers/Sisters of Sorrow ethic: keep serving, keep balancing. → LoO 23.10–23.12.
23.12 — Akhenaten’s afterlife resolve
Summary. Post‑incarnation review led Akhenaten to rebalance away from power in subsequent lives.
Commentary & Notes. Even saintly reformers tidy distortions; devotion tempers power. → LoO 23.12.
23.13–23.16 — Disease mechanics vs. root causes
Summary. Proximate: floods, insects, food/water handling. Root: money/greed/power, slavery, forgetting the Creator in each.
Commentary & Notes. Social distortions manifest as health distortions. → LoO 23.13–23.16.
23.15–23.16 — South American program: inclusive pyramids, later sacrifice
Summary. Light beings taught sun‑seeking peoples; inclusive pyramids for all; plans recorded; second visit to correct early distortions; later gross perversions (sacrifice) → ongoing duty to recoup.
Commentary & Notes. Same lesson: means matter, and human free will can bend inspiration toward power‑over. → LoO 23.15–23.16.
23.17–23.19 — Care for the instrument; a pop‑culture nod
Summary. Rest over a second session that day; a sci‑fi film contained Law‑of‑One‑like distortions.
Commentary & Notes. Even fiction can echo truth; safeguard the means (alignment, rest). → LoO 23.17–23.19.
🛠️ Practice Corner — “Means match ends”
Why: Session 23 spotlights how method can distort or uplift.
Before you teach/help: Ask, “Could my presence send unintended ‘impressions’?” If yes, simplify: fewer words, clearer boundaries, more listening.
Pyramid lesson (at home). Treat any tool (technique, tech, title) as secondary to conscious alignment. Begin with 1 minute of silence before using the tool.
Root‑cause check. When stress/disease flares, look beneath mechanics: is greed, fear, or power‑over quietly driving this?

🧠 Study Prompts
Where do you risk “30 impressions per word”? What would simpler presence look like?
Name one tool/tech you use. How can you ensure consciousness leads and the tool follows?
In a current problem, what’s the root beneath the mechanics (e.g., control, greed, fear)? What’s a cleaner choice?
🏁 Closing Note
Session 23 threads Egypt and South America into one lesson: clear intent + careful method, or else love‑based inspiration bends toward power‑over. The antidote isn’t more spectacle; it’s quiet alignment, inclusive spaces, and steady service—one clean choice at a time.
