🧭 Session Snapshot
Date: October 21, 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: Banishing ritual efficacy; how calling works for positive vs. negative; magical personality: invocation → great cross of life; upward spiraling light (feet) vs. invoked light (violet/crown); indigo gateway focus; desire, will, polarity as keys; free will & evangelizing; Jesus’ method: faith + “tell no one”; exercise of fire (healing circuit via seated green ray); energy transfers (physical, sexual, mental, spiritual); appurtenances: candle spiral & neck support.
🌟 Key Takeaways
Banishing helps—and generalizes. The ritual in use strengthens purity of contact not only for Ra but for any adept working (73.2).
Calling is proportional. Both polarities may call strength in proportion to the purity of desire and will, but STO help waits to be called and responds by sending love (73.3–73.4).
Invocation vs. the planet’s upward light. Upward spiraling light (feet → up) is natural/parasympathetic; adept-invoked light through violet is conscious/volitional. The working begins with invoking the magical personality, then evoking the great cross of life; from indigo gateway one directs light to the needed centers (73.5–73.10).
Keys to magic. Desire, will, and polarity are the core keys for the magical personality (73.11).
Free will is paramount. Evangelizing often abridges free will, muting magical efficacy unless the recipient freely desires it. Jesus taught through a veil, healed upon request, and closed with “your faith has healed you” + “tell no one,” maximizing non-infringement (73.12–73.16).
Exercise of fire (healing). With the magical personality seated in green ray, the healer becomes a crystalline center channeling both adept energy and upward spiraling light; Ra details the double spiral path through the body (73.17).
Energy transfers are infinite in variety. Physical (fire), sexual, mental (teacher↔student; speaker↔listener), and spiritual transfers all depend on purity of offering & desire; high sexual magic refines STO sexual exchange (73.21–73.22).
Housekeeping matters. Keep the candle from guttering as it spirals ~10° per working; improve neck support to avoid truncated sessions (73.23).
🧩 Full Q&A with Commentary
Notation: Each subsection lists the question number(s), a concise Summary, and Commentary & Notes keyed to LoO 73.x.
73.1–73.2 — Condition & banishing efficacy
Summary. Vital energy nearer normal; the banishing ritual has grown in efficacy with each use.
Commentary. “Regularity → purity” is a through-line since Sessions 62–72; simple, consistent hygiene outperforms novelty.
73.3–73.4 — Calling light vs. calling dark; proportion & permission
Summary. STO calls alert light strength; STS calls alert dark strength—both in direct proportion to purity of desire/will. STO help waits to be called and sends love; STS seeks to manipulate.
Commentary. The vector of aid is permission-based for STO; control-seeking for STS—practical ethics for service work.
73.5–73.7 — Middle Pillar question; Ra’s correction
Summary. Don proposes visualizing light entering at feet; Ra replies no, and reframes the working: (1) Invoke magical personality (gesture = putting on). (2) Evocation of the great cross of life (becoming the Creator). (3) All invocations/evocations flow via violet; then light is directed to target centers.
Commentary. Start at indigo gateway; direct consciously from there. Upward light remains the planetary baseline.
73.8–73.10 — Upward spiraling vs. invoked light (two circuits)
Summary. Upward light is to parasympathetic rhythms (automatic); invoked light is to volitional nerve/muscle action (conscious). Where they meet indicates one’s development.
Commentary. A clean body metaphor for two streams of energy: planetary and adept.
73.11 — Keys of magical personality
Summary. Desire, will, polarity are central.
Commentary. Add “live it moment by moment” (Ra’s later expansion in this session) as the integration principle.
73.12 — Evangelists & free will
Summary. STO workings that abridge free will become blocked, except where the other-self freely accepts.
Commentary. Consent governs metaphysical conductivity.
73.13–73.16 — Jesus as exemplar of non-infringement
Summary. Jesus taught/learned with a veil, healed upon request, and emphasized faith + privacy (“tell no one”).
Commentary. Model: serve when asked, credit the Creator, avoid spectacle.
73.17 — Exercise of fire: the healer’s circuit
Summary. With magical personality seated in green, the healer is a crystalline node. The green center spirals twice: (a) clockwise route green → right shoulder → head → right elbow → solar plexus → left hand; (b) (continued in the session) complementary return. The working blends adept energy with upward spiraling light.
Commentary. Visualize clarity over force; more crystallization ≠ over-activation.
73.21–73.22 — Energy transfers: physical, sexual, mental, spiritual
Summary. Transfers are infinite in variety. Examples: exercise of fire (physical, subtle); sexual (doubles when both dedicate to the One); mental (teacher↔student; speaker↔listener amid sorrow); spiritual (all work grounded in Creator-as-self/other-self). High sexual magic refines STO exchange.
Commentary. Purity of desire on both sides determines conductivity and amplitude.
73.23 — Appurtenances & comfort
Summary. Keep the spiraling candle from guttering; support the neck to prevent abbreviated workings.
Commentary. Tiny physical details safeguard big metaphysical work.
🛠️ Practice Corner — Living Session 73
Non-infringing help. Before offering service, silently ask: “Has this been requested?” If yes, proceed; close with credit to faith/Creator.
Indigo-first ritual. Begin any practice by invoking the magical personality (your “best self” in unity), then extend the great cross of life, and only then direct light to centers as needed.
Energy-transfer hygiene. After any sexual/teacher/listener exchange, do a 60-second gratitude seal (breathe, thank, release) to prevent leaks and over-claiming.
📚 Extended Notes & Context
“Through me, not by me.” Ra’s correction (73.14–15) clarifies that crediting the Creator and not-self authorship protects free will; claiming personal power risks infringement.
Magical personality = time/space self invited. Invoking it allows the time/space analog to gather catalyst quickly from 3D life (73.10); thus, practice changes you by offering more catalyst to your totality.
Keys trio in action. Desire aims, will sustains, polarity orients the vector; without polarity, force becomes diffuse.
Jesus’ method as template. Request → healing → “your faith” → privacy maps perfectly to non-infringement; the spectacle impulse is yellow/orange distortion.
Exercise of fire nuances. The seated green is not overblown heart emotion but crystalline compassion; the double spiral routes clarify handedness and return path for healers who sense flows somatically.
Candle spiral & micro-rituals. The ~10° rotation is a small clockwork of intention; don’t let it gutter—field geometry matters when working at narrow-band purity.

🧠 Study Prompts
Draft your two-line invocation of the magical personality that feels reverent and non-personalist.
In your next helping situation, how will you ensure consent and credit the Creator?
During your next sexual or teaching exchange, notice what is offered and what is accepted—journal one paragraph on purity of desire.
