🗞️ 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 56 (June 8, 1981) with cross‑links to LoO 56.x question numbers.
🧭 Session Snapshot
Date: June 8, 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: Pyramids as intensifiers (not “doers”) of spiraling light; initiatory vs. healing positions (Queen’s vs. King’s Chamber); apex angle for healing (≈ 76° 18′); diffusion angle (≈ 33–54°); rounded/arched forms concentrate power—handle with care; caves and cones as natural/analogous intensifiers; instrument fragility & psychic greeting.
Companions for deeper study: A Concept Guide (entries: Pyramids, Healing, Psychic Greeting, Energy Centers), Living the Law of One: The Choice (white magic basics & healing stance), Book V notes via the toggle on LoO 56.
🌟 Key Takeaways
Shape ≠ shaman. A pyramid does no work by itself; it centralizes & diffracts the spiraling upward light (prana) already present. The seeker’s will must call the inner light to match any intensification.
Two seats: initiation vs. healing. Queen’s Chamber (center‑line): initiation/resurrection—the centered beginning. King’s Chamber (off‑set): healing—where the usual magnetic nexi are interrupted so a new configuration can be chosen.
Healer + crystal + charged air. Interruption must be guided by an incarnate intelligence with discrimination (recognizes patterns without judgment) and visualizes the less‑distorted other‑self.
Angles that matter. For a person‑sized chamber, an apex angle around 76° 18′ is useful for healing; the diffusion angle of the spectrum as the spiral weakens toward the apex lies roughly 33–54°, planetary rhythms permitting.
Handle with care. Rounded/arched/peaked shapes (pyramids, cones, vaults, caves) concentrate power and can distort a sensitive entity more if placement/intent/adept presence are wrong. Square rooms do not concentrate power.
🧩 Full Q&A with Commentary
Notation: Each subsection lists the question number (e.g., 56.3), a brief Summary, and Commentary & Notes with direct links to LoO 56. Primary transcript: LLR Session 56; Cross‑reference: LoO 56.
56.1–56.2 — Instrument condition; continue?
Summary. Severe mental/physical weakness; psychic attack is ongoing. Ra will safeguard, but discretion is with the group; some transferred energy remains available.
Commentary & Notes. The team weighs vital vs. physical (cf. Sessions 47–55); harmony & pacing remain the guardrails. → LoO 56.1–2
56.3 — “How does the pyramid shape work?”
Summary. The shape does not work; it arranges the spiraling upward light. Certain forms (arched, conical, teepees, caves) act like echo chambers/intensifiers for prana.
Commentary & Notes. The operator is your will; the shape reflects & focuses. → LoO 56.3
56.3 (Queen’s vs. King’s) — Positions & functions
Summary. Queen’s = initiatory/resurrection seat (centered beginning). King’s = healing seat (off‑set spiral interrupts ordinary flows, offering a probability vortex for a new start).
Commentary & Notes. The healing isn’t the shape’s fix but a choice point for the one to be healed—free will is central. → LoO 56.3
56.4 — Apex angle for healing
Summary. For a person‑scale structure with off‑set healing position, ~76° 18′ works; the healer may also move placement to effect results. Other SMCs choose other angles for learning vs. healing.
Commentary & Notes. Angles are contextual, not absolute—intent + discrimination lead. → LoO 56.4
56.5–56.7 — Diffusion of the spectrum & locating the King’s Chamber
Summary. As the spiral rises, color resolution weakens but diffusion increases toward the apex. The King’s Chamber is the first spiral after the centered Queen’s position. The diffusion angle is the complement of the pyramid’s apex angle (but narrower, ≈ 33–54°), and its start lies between the Queen’s Chamber and the resonating chamber (not at the exact Queen’s floor). Planetary magnetic flux sets the exact locus.
Commentary & Notes. Don’s geometrizing is mostly right; Ra nudges the foundation point downward. → LoO 56.5–7
56.8 — Closing
Summary. All is well. Mind the instrument’s limitations; alignments are excellent.
Commentary & Notes. The familiar gratitude cadence closes the working. → LoO 56.8
🛠️ Practice Corner — Living Session 56
Space ≠ shortcut. Before seeking special spaces/objects, clarify intent and cultivate will/faith (2–3 minutes of quiet singleness). Let the inner light be the engine.
“Queen’s then King’s” ritual (symbolic). Begin any deep practice with centering (Queen’s): a minute of heart‑centered presence. Then move to a gentle re‑patterning (King’s): name one distortion and visualize yourself choosing its less‑distorted configuration.
Cones & caves caution. Notice your home/work forms (arched vaults, domes, small tents, rounded attics). If sensitive, limit overexposure or counterbalance with simple grounding (bare‑feet stand, slow breath, gratitude).
📚 Extended Notes & Context
From Session 55 → 56. 55 situated King’s vs. Queen’s chambers in the larger pyramid pedagogy; 56 zooms in: the shape is a focusing aid; healer/crystal/air and free‑will choice are the active agents.
“Dangerous shapes.” The caution tracks with earlier counsel (49–50): force invites imbalance; acceptance + wise placement invite integration.
Angles as heuristics. 76° 18′ and 33–54° are useful rules of thumb, not dogma; planetary rhythms and individual sensitivity modulate results.

🧠 Study Prompts
In your practice room, which forms (arched, peaked, rounded) are present? How might you ground or align their effects?
Try the two‑seat ritual above for seven days. What one pattern becomes easier to re‑choose?
What’s one way to train discriminating vision (pattern‑seeing without judgment) in service of healing?
