🧭 Session Snapshot
Date: August 18, 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: Latwii meeting incident and a 5D negative plan to displace the instrument’s mind/body/spirit complex into negative time/space; how such an adept works step‑by‑step; why magical defense instruction is withheld (first distortion) and what general guardrails Ra can offer; “positive sees love; negative is clever”; rest/energy‑transfer hygiene; Esmerelda Sweetwater as a probability‑vortex synchronicity.
Companions for deeper study: A Concept Guide (entries: Psychic Greeting, First Distortion/Free Will, Magical Personality), Living the Law of One: The Choice (love/light without attachment), Tilting at Windmills (support‑circle hygiene & humor of polarity), The Ra Contact Vol. 2 (re‑listened wording & notes).
🌟 Key Takeaways
Energy hygiene first. Physical energy was fully depleted; transferred energy from two group members made the session possible. If no transfer and the instrument is that depleted, refrain from working (68.1–68.3).
What nearly happened at the Latwii meeting. The instrument thought, “I wish I were channeling Ra.” Latwii held on while a 5D Orion sought to capitalize, attempting to snatch the m/b/s complex out of body during the shift (68.5). Group support and Latwii’s 5D capacity prevented the capture (68.5).
The 5D plan & its consequences. Plan: move the m/b/s to negative time/space while the body is left unconscious, then work the body toward coma → death; the higher self would later face the choice to re‑incarnate in negative space/time of comparable density/polarization (for a 6D Wanderer, 6D‑negative) or to remain in time/space for a time (68.6–68.11). In negative time/space, a highly positive entity experiences only darkness—a natural barrier (68.8).
Why Ra won’t teach “defense spells.” Magical power requires readiness; explicit instruction would infringe. Ra gives only general counsel and stresses never to call Ra outside the protected configuration now in use; conscious magical training in the present life is rare (68.11–68.12).
How a 5D adept proceeds (playbook). (1) Detect a power source of love/harmony. (2) Send legions/temptations; if rebuffed, (3) project near the source, (4) exploit free‑will distortions—especially pre‑incarnative bodily vulnerabilities; (5) attempt misplacement when the instrument freely leaves the body (68.16). The first distortion binds all parties; positive sees love in all; negative is clever (68.17–68.18).
Synchronicity note. Esmerelda Sweetwater functioned as a probability‑vortex snapshot tied to the group’s mission commitment—symbolic and specific correspondences both (68.14–68.15).
🧩 Full Q&A with Commentary
Notation: Each subsection lists the question number(s), a brief Summary, and Commentary & Notes keyed to LoO 68.x.
68.1–68.3 — Condition & scheduling
Summary. Physical energies are exhausted; transferred energy permits the working. Future pacing: flexible, based on careful observation; rest if marginal, but service when possible is also well (68.1–68.3).
Commentary. Classic hygiene over heroics—and a reminder that energy transfer is practical metaphysics.
68.4–68.6 — The Sunday meeting incident
Summary. During a Latwii channeling, a query about Ra arose; the instrument silently wished to switch to Ra. This opened a crux wherein Orion approached. Latwii (5D) maintained the link and group support stabilized the return (68.5).
Commentary. Desire shapes doors; support circle is the safety net.
68.6–68.11 — The negative working & outcomes
Summary. Plan: remove the m/b/s to negative time/space, leaving the body unknowing; then work the shell toward coma → death. Higher self could keep the entity in time/space for a while but would likely favor incarnation matching polarity/strength (e.g., 6D negative for a 6D Wanderer) (68.6–68.11).
Commentary. A stark case of polarity compatibility: like attracts like in time/space.
68.11–68.12 — Why defense instruction is withheld; basic guardrails
Summary. Specific magical defense teaching would infringe. General counsel only: proceed with balancing, group work, and never call Ra unprotected (68.11–68.12).
Commentary. First distortion governs pedagogy; discipline precedes technique.
68.14–68.15 — Esmerelda Sweetwater as mirror
Summary. The novel captured symbolically/specifically the mission’s probability vortices caused by the group’s commitment; the ending diverged due to free will (68.14–68.15).
Commentary. Art as snapshot of a magnetized future.
68.16 — The 5D attacker’s playbook
Summary. Detect power → tempt → project → exploit free‑will distortions → attempt misplacement when m/b/s freely leaves body (68.16).
Commentary. A clear threat model—useful for ritual hygiene.
68.17–68.18 — Free will and “following” into negative time/space
Summary. Why would one follow? Positive sees love in all; negative is clever—and must use free‑will approaches to avoid de‑polarization (68.17–68.18).
Commentary. The paradox of STO compassion meeting STS cunning.
68.19 — Closing
Summary. Energy is low; brief farewell and standard benediction (68.19).
Commentary. Short, hygienic close.
🛠️ Practice Corner — Living Session 68
Never unprotected. If you practice channeling or deep trance, do not call a source outside your established protective configuration. Rehearse pause → regroup if anything feels “off.”
Group path > solo spell‑hunting. If drawn to magical training, make it a group discipline rooted in love/harmony, not a personal power quest.
One offer, then release. In face of negativity, radiate love/light once with sincerity, then release—don’t chase unrequested service.

🧠 Study Prompts
Where are you tempted to serve without being asked? What would a single sincere offer, then release look like in that case?
If you do trance/ritual work, what’s your explicit checklist before opening? Draft one and rehearse it with your circle.
How do you personally balance seeing love in all with not being duped by cleverness? Write a one‑sentence rule of thumb for yourself.
Note: Psychic‑greeting/ritual content reflects Ra’s metaphysical perspective; none of this is medical or clinical advice. Use discernment.
