🗞️ 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 39 (March 16, 1981) with cross‑links to LoO 39.x question numbers.
🧭 Session Snapshot
Date: March 16, 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: Instrument care & scheduling; sevens and the concept of spiritual mass; comments on "The Nine" (Puharich) and veiling; the evolution of the rays (red → green → blue → indigo → violet); polarity‑pattern of positive vs. negative adepts.
Companions for deeper study: A Concept Guide (entries: Energy Centers, Intelligent Infinity, Free Will, Polarity), Living the Law of One: The Choice (daily practice & polarity), A Channeling Handbook (circle hygiene), Unified Index (fast topic jumps).
🌟 Key Takeaways
Pacing the working: One session every other morning is generally best; the group can sometimes add a shorter second morning session if appropriate. Instrument’s strong will to serve makes self‑assessment of physical limits hard—thus support‑team caution is vital.
Why “sevens” recur: Beyond physics, Ra frames a metaphysical electricity that parallels physical potentiation—yielding a growth of spiritual mass across densities, tending toward infinite mass at seventh density (reunion with the Creator).
On “The Nine”: Ra decodes several veiled statements, notes the scribe’s taste for puzzles influenced the presentation style, just as this group’s preferences tune the Ra contact.
Ray evolution (practical ladder): Red = foundational vitality → Yellow = stepping‑stone of social self → Green = heart resource for spiritual work → Blue = first true spiritual communicative ray → Indigo = adept’s gateway → Violet = identity/registry.
Polarity patterns: Positive beings tend toward an even, crystalline seven‑ray configuration; negative adepts emphasize red/orange/yellow and make a targeted jump to blue/indigo only to tap intelligent infinity.
🧩 Full Q&A with Commentary
Notation: Each subsection lists the question number (e.g., 39.4), a brief Summary, and Commentary & Notes with direct links to LoO 39. Primary transcript: LLR Session 39. Cross‑reference: LoO 39.
39.1–39.2 — Instrument condition; helpful activities
Summary. The instrument is in a most intensive period of physical weakness due to the doubling effect of two prior ingestions. Helpful: sacred song, gentle movement/exercise, and (ethically framed) sexual energy; loving social time also supports recovery.
Commentary & Notes. A practical portrait of energy hygiene: sing/pray (blue‑green), move (red/orange), and let love in (green) while honoring ethics and limits. → 39.1–39.2
39.3 — How often & how long to work?
Summary. Ra avoids micromanaging but offers a rule of thumb: every other morning; optionally one shorter extra morning working if conditions allow.
Commentary & Notes. Contact depends on group tuning and the instrument’s true state, which her will to serve can mask—thus the support group must help pace. → 39.3
39.4 — “Sevens,” spiritual mass & metaphysical electricity
Summary. Don asks about sevens (citing The Nine). Ra sketches two parallel potentiations installed by a Logos: physical/electrical (Larson sense) and metaphysical/electrical. Spiritual mass grows with development, becoming significant near the gateway and tending toward infinite at seventh density, analogized to Einstein’s mass → ∞ as v → c.
Commentary & Notes. The point isn’t the arithmetic; it’s the trajectory: cultivation of spiritual gravity that draws us home. → 39.4
39.5–39.9 — Decoding “The Nine” (CH principle; “nine principals of God”)
Summary. 39.5: Formula’s Mᵢ does refer to spiritual mass. 39.6–39.9: Ra says the “CH principle” veils a simple truth—the constant Creator and the transient incarnate, and the yearning between them in love/light under free will; the “nine principals” phrase points to Council members representing the One (like nine witnesses). Ra notes scribe‑driven veiling (taste for puzzles).
Commentary & Notes. Different contacts mirror their channels’ preferences; Ra emphasizes non‑infringement and precision over riddles. → 39.5–39.9
39.10 — Evolution of the energy centers
Summary. Red = foundation (never “less important”). Yellow = stepping stone where the mind/body balances most fully; the red‑orange‑yellow triad springboards to Green (basic resource for spiritual work). Blue = first true spiritual ray, seating spirit’s learning/teaching in the personality and communicating whole‑beingness. Indigo = adept’s gateway to intelligent infinity. Violet = constant identity/registry.
Commentary & Notes. Use this as a practice ladder: stabilize red, clarify yellow roles, open green service, then speak/live truth (blue), and cultivate faith/devotion (indigo). → 39.10
39.11–39.12 — Positive vs. negative ray patterns
Summary. Red is the same for both highly polarized paths. Negative adepts emphasize red/orange/yellow, then make a deliberate jump to blue/indigo only to contact intelligent infinity; positive configurations tend toward even, crystalline balance across all seven.
Commentary & Notes. A diagnostic: ask whether power is pursued via exclusion/control (negative pattern) or via whole‑being integration (positive pattern). → 39.11–39.12
39.13 — Closing care
Summary. All is well; usual blessing.
Commentary & Notes. Keep sessions short and well‑timed; honor ethics and free will. → 39.13
🛠️ Practice Corner — Living Session 39
Ray Ladder audit (5 min). Note one concrete action for each rung: red (sleep/walk), yellow (clean boundary), green (unpaid kindness), blue (brief honest share), indigo (2‑min faith/meditation).
Spiritual mass habit. Choose one daily micro‑practice that adds weight to your homeward gravity (e.g., silent gratitude at threshold crossings).
Group pacing ritual. Before work, ask “Is our instrument/leader truly resourced?” If not, reschedule—service isn’t self‑harm.
📚 Extended Notes & Context
Metaphysical electricity. Think potential differences across consciousness states; practice and polarity charge the system until the gateway becomes conductive.
Why blue is “first spiritual” here. Session 39 emphasizes communication of whole being as the first spirit‑seated function; indigo then opens the gate beyond personality.
On contact flavoring. “The Nine” examples show how channel preferences shape the wrapping; Ra protects content fidelity by refusing to play to puzzles when it would distort.

🧠 Study Prompts
If spiritual mass grows by coherent practice, what habit would most increase your homeward gravity this week?
Where are you over‑weighted in red/orange/yellow? What single blue action could re‑balance today?
How might your preferences be coloring the way you present truth? What edit would clarify without distorting?
