🗞️ 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 official resources. This entry covers Session 46 (April 15, 1981) with cross‑links to LoO 46.x question numbers.
🧭 Session Snapshot
Date: April 15, 1981
Setting: Louisville, KY; tuned trance channeling within a disciplined support circle (instrument under concerted psychic pressure)
Cast: Don Elkins (Questioner) • Carla L. Rueckert (Instrument) • Jim McCarty (Scribe)
Big Themes: Psychic attack & instrument care; protection for companion animals (Gandalf & Fairchild); anger → acceptance vs. control as the fork of polarization; cancer as catalyst when energy is neither accepted nor controlled; why repression is key on the negative path; catalyst’s design by the sub‑Logos; practical appurtenance hygiene.
Companions for deeper study: A Concept Guide (entries: Catalyst, Balancing, Psychic Greeting, Polarity), Living the Law of One: The Choice (acceptance practice), Unified Index (fast topic jumps).
🌟 Key Takeaways
Low physical energy; attack ongoing, vital rising. The instrument’s vital is slowly returning even as physical remains very low; Ra suggests the possibility of ~two sessions/week until the window of vulnerability passes.
Protecting beloved animals. Gandalf (harvestable 3D) is vulnerable to the same style of attack as the group; Fairchild is less vulnerable (less conscious devotion). Protection: (1) meditation putting on the armor of light; (2) repeat short ritual sentences already known to the instrument.
Anger as energy: two paths. Positive path: perceive → bless → intensify mentally → understand → accept → integrate; the “other‑self” becomes an object of acceptance/understanding. Negative path: funnel anger via will/faith into control of other‑self or of the situation.
Where cancer fits. If anger’s random energy is neither accepted nor controlled, the unseated force may precipitate a bodily analogue (e.g., cancer). For negative adepts, repression + organized venting is characteristic; for positive, balancing/acceptance replaces repression.
Catalyst is unconscious design. Catalyst doesn’t think; it’s a pre‑incarnative mechanism offering choices: accept/love or separate/control. If no choice is made, more catalyst arrives; there is “no lack of space/time” for learning.
🧩 Full Q&A with Commentary
Notation: Each subsection lists the question number (e.g., 46.2), a brief Summary, and Commentary & Notes with direct links to LoO 46. Primary transcript: LLR Session 46; Cross‑reference: LoO 46.
46.1 — Instrument status
Summary. Very low physical energy; under attack for some weeks; vital energy is gradually restoring.
Commentary & Notes. Expect shorter sessions; the vital recovering means the inner intention is steady even when the body is taxed. → 46.1
46.2–46.4 — Protecting Gandalf & Fairchild during procedures
Summary. Gandalf (harvestable 3D) can be influenced via images/dreams; Fairchild (harvestable through investment) is less vulnerable due to limited conscious devotion. Protection: (a) meditation to don armor of light timed to the procedure; (b) short ritual sentences known to the instrument, repeated at intervals until safe return.
Commentary & Notes. Ra declines to spell out the sentences (non‑infringement, and the instrument already knows them). Lesson: intention + familiar sacred language can alert friendly discarnates and fortify the field. → 46.2–4
46.5–46.6 — The small growth & continuing
Summary. The cause was previously discussed; danger is slight absent repeated anger stimulus. Proceed; Ra will monitor the instrument’s vital during the session.
Commentary & Notes. A subtle reminder that emotional patterns (anger loops) can somatize. → 46.5–6
46.7–46.9 — Anger used positively vs. negatively
Summary. Positive use: bless & love the anger, intensify mentally until its randomness is seen, then accept/integrate; the other‑self becomes an object of acceptance. Negative use: refuse randomness, funnel via will/faith into control.
Commentary & Notes. Two master keys: acceptance (positive) vs. control (negative). Both transmute the same energy; the body need not bear it when the mind uses it. → 46.7–9
46.10–46.13 — Cancer and repression
Summary. If a positive entity fails to accept, or a negative entity fails to control, the unworked anger may contribute to cancer. First work is always self‑acceptance/control. On the negative path, repression of disorganized emotions (even bodily drives like sexuality) is typical—later surfaced for instrumentalized use. The positive path avoids repression, choosing balance.
Commentary & Notes. This is not medical advice; it’s a metaphysical map of catalyst. The takeaway is how you work with energy, not a blame model. → 46.10–13
46.14–46.16 — What catalyst is “for”
Summary. All catalyst offers experience which can be accepted/loved or controlled. If neither choice is made, catalyst fails and repeats in other forms until bias forms. There is ample space/time for this process.
Commentary & Notes. Think of catalyst as a course scheduler: refuse to choose and it re‑enrolls you later. → 46.14–16
46.17–46.18 — SMC plan question deferred; closing counsel
Summary. Don’s question about positive/negative SMCs is deferred due to instrument weariness. Ra notes the possibility of ~two sessions per week until conditions improve and cautions the group to avoid laxity in arrangement/orientation of appurtenances.
Commentary & Notes. Ritual precision protects fidelity; pace protects the instrument. → 46.17–18
🛠️ Practice Corner — Living Session 46
Anger alchemy (two forks). Next time anger arises, choose one complete path:
Acceptance path (STO): name → bless → intensify mentally → understand → accept & integrate; then take one reconciling step with the other‑self.
Control path (STS): (for self‑study) observe how will/faith attempts to organize & direct the energy. Log effects on self/other.
Armor of light ritual (pet/people care). Before a stressful appointment, do a 1–3 min armor‑of‑light visualization; optionally add familiar sacred sentences at intervals until safe return.
Catalyst chooser. End‑of‑day check: Where did I neither accept nor control? Note the likely repeat form; plan a choice for next time.
📚 Extended Notes & Context
Why repression on the negative path? Random emotion dilutes control; thus it’s repressed, then channeled when useful. Positive work, by contrast, integrates the very energy as self‑accepted.
Cancer as metaphor in Ra’s model. The teaching is about energy routing—not a claim that one emotion “causes” all disease. The ethical thrust: use catalyst consciously so the body needn’t bear unattended loads.
Appurtenances & orientation. Consistent placement/orientation (altar, Bible, incense, chalice, etc., in this group’s case) signals coherence to the deeper mind and stabilizes the field.

🧠 Study Prompts
Think of a recent anger. How would you complete either the acceptance or control fork next time (no half‑measures)?
What familiar sacred sentence (from your own tradition) could you use as a field‑stabilizer during stressful procedures?
Where in your life is catalyst re‑enrolling you? What choice have you been avoiding?
