🧭 Session Snapshot
Date: February 15, 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: Why the Confederation withdrew after early contacts, and why/how they re‑approached; Atlantean cataclysms (timelines and causes); the Orion influx (~3,600 years ago) under quarantine “windows” and mixed calling; the Yahweh storyline (genetic biases → later positive correction as “Yod‑Heh‑Shin‑Vau‑Heh” and the Anak); thought‑form manifestations (“wheel within a wheel,” cherubim); fiery cloud emissary; prophets of doom; how a Diaspora softened elitism; and a 20th‑century thought‑form meeting with a U.S. president.
🌟 Key Takeaways
Methods can backfire. Enlargements and distortions of Confederation teaching helped fuel Atlantean bellicosity, culminating in a second catastrophe 10,821 years ago, with the last landmasses sinking ~9,600 years ago—a sobering post‑mortem that led to long caution and observation before re‑engaging humanity.
How negative contact “got in.” Around 3,600 years ago, Orion found fertile soil among peoples predisposed to elitism (partly via ancient genetic biases instituted by a Confederation entity known as Yahweh). Mixed calling + weak quarantine windows enabled penetration without major infringement.
Positive correction. The former Yahweh, rendered as “Yod‑Heh‑Shin‑Vau‑Heh,” attempted to counterbalance by incarnating, mating, and seeding larger‑bodied beings (the Anak), and via thought‑form appearances to inspire the Law of One—a move that also intensified the historical drama often symbolized as Armageddon.
Imagery both paths used. Confederation pointed to motifs like the wheel within a wheel and cherubim with the sleepless eye as examples of suggestive, sublime thought‑forms; Orion, meanwhile, used a fiery cloud and fiery phenomena to steer perception and awe.
Outcome of a people marked “elite.” After ~600 years, the Diaspora dispersed and humbled the target group; gratitude and kinship softened elitism, reducing Orion’s foothold.
Modern test case. In the 1950s, a positively oriented president met Confederation thought‑forms in a quiet “test” to see if peaceful information could be received; he declined to share it widely, fearing public upheaval. The Confederation opted for a gradual, quiet alerting instead.

🧩 Full Q&A with Commentary
Notation: Each subsection lists the question number (e.g., 24.6), a brief Summary, and Commentary & Notes with links to LoO 24 passages. Primary transcript: LLR Session 24. Cross‑reference: LoO 24.
24.1–24.4 — Session setup; why the long historical arc now?
Summary. The instrument’s vital energies are low, so the session will be shortened; Ra agrees to cough after each response. Don outlines a plan to complete the 25,000‑year cycle overview before diving deeper into philosophy. Ra begins by answering why the Confederation withdrew after earlier contacts: methodological misfires (especially in Atlantis) culminated in catastrophic misuse of information. Second catastrophe: 10,821 years ago; last landmasses sank ~9,600 years ago.
Commentary & Notes. Ra’s “gardener” ethic: better to wait and watch than to feed distortions. The cough‑cue shows the team’s careful instrument care.
24.5–24.7 — “What condition created the next contact?”
Summary. After a long hiatus, an Orion influx ~3,600 years ago exploited old elitist biases in human groups. A Confederation entity, “Yahweh,” ages earlier had genetically cloned biases that unintentionally predisposed certain peoples to feel “special and different.” The Orion group used this fertile soil to seed negativity. The original Yahweh then reassessed and began sending positive philosophy and took incarnate action ~3,300 years ago, effectively escalating the contest of ideas.
Commentary & Notes. This is a striking admission of course‑correction by a positive source, illustrating the Law of Responsibility even for benefactors.
24.8 — Quarantine, mixed calling, and the “window” effect
Summary. Penetration occurred not because guardians slept, but because free will + mixed calling opened weak windows. As harvest nears, light answers the intensity of its call; Orion can only move according to its call and usually faces greater resistance due to the empowering‑by‑squares principle.
Commentary & Notes. Key discernment tool: What are we inviting—collectively and personally? Calling determines what can reach us.
24.9–24.10 — How the positive correction showed up
Summary. Beyond telepathy, the former Yahweh tried two things: (1) incarnating and mating to produce Anak (larger‑bodied) exemplars; (2) thought‑form manifestations to evoke the sublime rather than dictate dogma—e.g., wheel within a wheel, cherubim with sleepless eye.
Commentary & Notes. Positive pedagogy: hint, don’t coerce. The imagery invites inner seeking over outer obedience.
24.11–24.13 — Orion’s style: fiery cloud & fiery signs
Summary. The Orion “empire” placed an emissary in the skies: fiery by nature, veiled by cloud in daytime so that observers would interpret it as divine. They transmitted by thought‑transfer and staged fiery phenomena to appear miraculous, seeding awe and authority claims.
Commentary & Notes. This contrast—suggestive sublime vs spectacular authority—is one of Session 24’s sharpest discernments.
24.14–24.16 — Prophets of doom
Summary. Orion could not sustain a long, overt presence after ~3000 BCE, but managed to taint some otherwise service‑oriented prophets with doom‑laden messaging.
Commentary & Notes. Ra reframes prophecy: in those days, prophets were typically lovers of their fellow beings—Orion’s “worst” was to shift tone to fear. A helpful lens when engaging apocalyptic material.
24.17 — Why Orion eventually left
Summary. The targeted peoples underwent a Diaspora that dispersed and humbled them, fostering gratitude and kinship and thereby healing elitism—closing the door that Orion had entered through.
Commentary & Notes. Social humbling → metaphysical immunity. Elitism is the negative path’s handle; remove the handle, reduce the leverage.
24.18–24.23 — A modern “test”: a president and thought‑forms
Summary. Don asks about a 1950s U.S. president (widely inferred as Eisenhower). Ra: he met Confederation thought‑forms—indistinguishable from 3D—as an experiment to see if peaceful information could be accepted at the highest level. The president, highly positive and congenial, believed the public couldn’t digest such concepts, so no broad disclosure followed. The Confederation thus continued a quiet, gradual alerting instead. Ra declines to answer about crashes/bodies, citing non‑infringement of the future.
Commentary & Notes. Classic Law of Confusion in action: even benevolent facts can overwhelm free will if dumped into an unready context. Method again matches ends.
🛠️ Practice Corner — Discernment in the Age of Spectacle
Why: Session 24 contrasts suggestive inspirations with authoritarian awe and shows how calling governs what reaches us.
Calling audit (5 minutes). List 3 inputs you regularly consume (feeds, channels, communities). For each, ask: Does this cultivate elitism/fear or humility/kindness? Adjust one input this week to reflect the quality of call you wish to amplify.
Sublime > spectacle. Before sharing a dramatic claim, try a “sublime rewrite”: phrasing that invites inner seeking (e.g., “Here’s a question to sit with…”) instead of outer obedience.
Close the handle. Where does subtle superiority live in your identity (status, group, ideology)? Practice one concrete act that equalizes—credit others, ask a genuine question, or yield the mic.

🧠 Study Prompts
Spectacle vs. sublime: Recall a time you felt awed into agreement. How might a sublime, invitational approach have preserved more free will?
Elitism check: Where does the allure of being “special” tug at you? What daily move humbles and humanizes that part?
Calling hygiene: If collective calling shapes access, what one habit would best refine your personal calling this month?
🏁 Closing Note
Session 24 reads like a lab notebook on influence and free will: the same truths can liberate or inflame, depending on method and audience. The Confederation’s remedy after hard lessons is consistent: less spectacle, more invitation; less elitism, more shared kinship; less coercion, more calling. That’s also a workable recipe for seekers today—one clean, humble choice at a time.
