🗞️ About This Series (brief)
Each entry walks, question‑by‑question, through a single session of The Ra Contact, offering clear summaries, careful commentary, and friendly signposts to companion texts and official resources. This entry covers Session 38 (March 13, 1981) with cross‑links to LoO 38.x question numbers.
🧭 Session Snapshot
Date: March 13, 1981
Setting: Louisville, KY; tuned trance channeling within a disciplined support circle
Cast: Don Elkins (Questioner) • Carla L. Rueckert (Instrument) • Jim McCarty (Scribe)
Big Themes: Who can safely serve as instrument; how nuclear information appeared (desire → inspiration); the mechanics of inspiration; what balanced energy centers look like in practice; whether third‑density social memory complexes exist; Sirius late‑3D SMC and its likely arboreal evolution; movement as a type of meditation; EM/thought‑driven locomotion; fourth‑density negative planetary conditions.
Companions for deeper study: A Concept Guide (entries: Inspiration, Energy Centers, Social Memory Complex, Fourth Density, Orion), Living the Law of One: The Choice (practice & polarity), A Channeling Handbook (circle hygiene), Unified Index (fast topic jumps).
🌟 Key Takeaways
Instrument substitution isn’t trivial. Ra says Don could develop trance ability with significant practice; Jim would also need long practice; either way, the group would have to re‑tune the harmonics of the contact. → 38.1
Nuclear tech: desire → inspiration. Humanity’s desire for this knowledge attracted it; the mechanism was inspiration, not external imposition. → 38.2–38.3
How inspiration actually works. A strong will to know/receive paired with the capacity to open & trust intuition. → 38.4
Balanced energy centers are unique, not uniform. Balance is personal; Ra gives a real‑world spectrum using Carla as example and describes the white‑light mount of fully potentiated 3D. → 38.5
3D social memory complexes are rare (positive only). Negatively oriented 3D SMCs don’t exist; positively oriented 3D SMCs are rare; SMC is properly a 4D phenomenon. → 38.6–38.7
Sirius visitors & arboreal evolution. A late‑3D SMC from Sirius visited Earth twice; its lineage is near tree‑forms; their meditation = study of movement. → 38.7–38.10
Thought‑guided EM locomotion. Their movement is an electromagnetic phenomenon controlled by thought‑impulses; their craft are material/visible to 3D. → 38.12–38.13
4D negative planets: intense struggle → hierarchy → SMC; telepathy/transparency get weaponized for control; group‑level service‑to‑self provides further polarization. → 38.14
🧩 Full Q&A with Commentary
Notation: Each subsection lists the question number (e.g., 38.4), a brief Summary, and Commentary & Notes with direct links to LoO 38. Primary transcript: LLR Session 38. Cross‑reference: LoO 38.
38.1 — Could Don or Jim replace the instrument?
Summary. Borderline infringement but Ra answers gently: Don could, given time and disciplined practice; Jim would also need long practice. Either case requires experimenting with new harmonics of the contact.
Commentary & Notes. Contact is a system property: instrument, questioner, and support merge into one tuned circuit. Swapping a component retunes the Q‑factor; purity depends on group compatibility and question quality. → 38.1
38.2–38.4 — Why nuclear info? By desire, via inspiration
Summary. Humanity’s desire drew nuclear knowledge; not an outside “second chance” gift—though many souls desired another chance to use it peacefully. The mechanism: inspiration—an extraordinary will to know + openness to intuition.
Commentary & Notes. Ra reframes technological “arrivals” as lawful: desire → resonant ideas → manifestation. This preserves free will and the Way of Confusion (no proofs, only invitations). → 38.2–38.4
38.5 — What do balanced rays look like?
Summary. No universal color chart. Using the instrument as example: even red/orange/yellow, very bright green, dimmer indigo, strong blue, all surrounded by pure violet, then red‑violet blend indicating m/b/s integration, then a true‑density signature. In a fully potentiated 3D entity, the rays stack with equal brilliance until the surround is white.
Commentary & Notes. Balance ≠ flattening. An entity can be bright in one center, quieter in another, and still be perfectly balanced for its path. Healing work benefits from sensing blockages; judgment does not. → 38.5
38.6–38.7 — 3D SMCs: rare positive; none negative
Summary. Social memory complex belongs properly to 4D. 3D positive SMCs are uncommon; 3D negative SMCs do not occur. One late‑3D SMC from Sirius has contacted Earth twice.
Commentary & Notes. To merge memory in 3D you need high group harmony—hard under the veil. Negative order relies on domination, which prevents the shared‑mind cohesion needed for SMC. → 38.6–38.7
38.7–38.10 — Sirius lineage & “movement as meditation”
Summary. The Sirius group’s 2D ancestors were near tree‑forms; lacking bellicose heritage can ease social harmony, but balance requires studying all movements, even bellicosity. Their study of movement functions like our meditation.
Commentary & Notes. This highlights complementarity: our culture tends to persistent activity and needs quiet meditation to balance; theirs tends to meditative movement, needing exploration of force/aggression to balance. → 38.7–38.10
38.11–38.13 — Thought‑guided EM movement; material craft
Summary. Their locomotion is not a mechanical‑leverage system; it’s an electromagnetic phenomenon controlled by thought impulses of weak electrical nature. Their craft would have been material & visible to any 3D witness.
Commentary & Notes. Mind → field → motion. A glimpse of technology as crystallized consciousness—consistent with Confederation ethics where tech follows inner development. → 38.11–38.13
38.14 — Fourth‑density negative planetary conditions
Summary. Early 4D‑negative: intense struggle to establish hierarchy. Once order settles, a social memory complex begins, but telepathy/transparency are turned to control by the apex. This often slows further polarization, which now requires group‑level STS service (e.g., Orion crusader activity).
Commentary & Notes. 4D‑negativity shows the limits of control: group cohesion is needed to advance, but control corrodes cohesion. → 38.14
38.15 — Closing care
Summary. All is well; the usual blessing.
Commentary & Notes. Instrument care and shorter sessions maintain fidelity. → 38.15
🛠️ Practice Corner — Living Session 38
Inspiration protocol. When you need an answer, (a) set a strong, sincere will to know, (b) clear space for intuition (five minutes silent attention), (c) receive & test the first gentle impressions, (d) act on the kindest viable option.
Ray check‑in. Sketch your current spectrum: What feels bright? What’s dim? Choose one small action to nourish a dim center (e.g., a blue‑ray honesty micro‑conversation).
Group tuning. Before important collaborations, do a one‑minute tuning: name shared intention, reaffirm non‑infringement, and invite harmony.
📚 Extended Notes & Context
On “who can channel Ra.” Ra treats trance contact as a specialized art with ethical guardrails. The instrument is not interchangeable hardware; it’s a living antenna whose life‑pattern, devotion, and circle rapport are integral to the signal.
Balanced ≠ identical. The white‑surround image means all centers are online, but their relative intensities can vary per soul’s path. Healers sense blockages; seekers practice non‑judgment while balancing.
Why 3D negative can’t do SMC. Secrecy and hierarchy block the transparency required to share mind; fear of peers fragments the field. Positively oriented 3D SMCs are rare but possible late in the cycle under unusually harmonious conditions.

🧠 Study Prompts
Try Ra’s definition of inspiration on a real problem today. What changed when you trusted the first quiet nudge?
Map your group’s harmonics (intent, trust, clarity). Where is the one weak note you can brighten?
Consider the 4D‑negative description. Where does control masquerade as cohesion in human systems—and what would authentic cohesion look like instead?
🏁 Closing Note
Session 38 links inner tuning to outer manifestations: desire invites inspiration; balanced rays shine uniquely; true group mind blooms only where trust is stronger than control.
