🗞️ About This Series (brief)
In each entry we walk, question-by-question, through a single session of The Ra Contact, offering clear summaries, careful commentary, and friendly signposts to related companion texts and official resources. This entry covers Session 9 (January 27, 1981).
🧭 Session Snapshot
Date: January 27, 1981
Setting: Louisville, KY; tunable trance channeling with a dedicated support circle
Cast: Don Elkins (Questioner) • Carla L. Rueckert (Instrument) • Jim McCarty (Scribe)
Big Themes: Publisher & past‑life questions (declined/general) • Evolutionary cycles (three × ~25,000‑year cycles) • Origins of Earth humanity (transfer from Mars) • Guardians & quarantine (free‑will abridgement) • Second density → third density • Bigfoot (three types) and radiation‑hardy reserve bodies • Pineal blockage & comfort care
🌟 Key Takeaways
Cycles are rhythmic, not arbitrary. The ~25,000‑year cycles reflect a clock‑like rhythm in intelligent energy; gateways open at the “striking of the hour,” independent of outer events. (LoO 9.4–9.5)
First third‑density people here came from Mars. After Mars became inhospitable due to bellicose actions, guardians transferred that population ~75,000 years ago via non‑reproductive birthing and careful genetic adjustments. (LoO 9.6–9.13, 9.30–9.32)
Quarantine began over free will. Other guardians judged the transfer to have abridged free will; thus Earth’s quarantine was instituted to protect seeking conditions. (LoO 9.9)
Second density was here first. Higher plants/animals preceded third‑density; some bipedal forms existed but were not fully erect. (LoO 9.14–9.17)
“Bigfoot” ≠ one species. Ra names three: (1) Maldek entities in karmic restitution underground; (2) a reserve stock of radiation‑hardy second‑density bodies kept in deep forests as a post‑nuclear contingency; (3) a thought‑form type. (LoO 9.18–9.22, 9.41)
🧩 Full Q&A with Commentary
Notation: Each subsection lists the question number (e.g., 9.6), a brief Summary, and Commentary & Notes with links. Unless noted, references are to Ra, Session 9 (see also LoO 9).
9.0–9.1 — Opening; publisher request declined
Summary. Ra greets; Don asks about recommending a publisher—Ra declines. (LoO 9.1)
Commentary & Notes. Ra avoids guiding outer decisions to preserve free will; the material asks us to practice discernment rather than rely on authority.
9.2 — Past‑lives: general only
Summary. Don asks about past incarnations; Ra gives only general remarks to avoid preconditioning the present work. (LoO 9.2)
Commentary & Notes. Again: non‑infringement ethos. The group has shared history, but details are safeguarded.
9.3 — Which exercise to focus on?
Summary. Ra won’t direct future actions; suggests returning to the first exercises and choosing the one least integrated. (LoO 9.3)
Commentary & Notes. Curricular humility: build from fundamentals; patience—this is not a quick program.
9.4–9.5 — Why three 25k‑year cycles?
Summary. The cycles are governed by intelligent energy’s rhythm—a clock that opens gateways at precise intervals. (LoO 9.4–9.5)
Commentary & Notes. This frames harvest as timed opportunity, not prediction. Study lens: A Concept Guide on Harvest.
9.6–9.13 — Mars → Earth transfer; guardians & quarantine
Summary. The first third‑density humans here were Martian; guardians used non‑reproductive birthing with genetic adjustments. Another set of guardians viewed this as free‑will abridgement, leading to quarantine. (LoO 9.6–9.13, 9.28–9.30)
Commentary & Notes. Two lessons: (1) Good intentions can distort; (2) Guardrails (quarantine) protect the seeker’s autonomy. Concept lens: Guardians/Quarantine in A Concept Guide.
9.14–9.17 — Second density here before third
Summary. Higher plants/animals populated Earth; some bipedal forms existed but were not fully erect. (LoO 9.14–9.17)
Commentary & Notes. Ra’s density model leaves room for evolutionary continuity and metaphysical thresholds.
9.18–9.22 — Who/what is “Bigfoot”?
Summary. Two races use second‑density bodies now: (1) Maldek entities underground, in karmic restitution; (2) a reserve of bodies engineered to be radiation‑hardy in case of nuclear war, dwelling in deep forests worldwide. Additionally, a third “Bigfoot” is a thought‑form. (LoO 9.18–9.22, 9.41)
Commentary & Notes. This is a case study in mixed contact and why Ra treats such data as transient compared to philosophy. Study lens: A Concept Guide on Mixed Contact.
9.23 — Comfort & close
Summary. Plan for a second session later; address a pineal‑center blockage for the instrument’s comfort. (LoO 9.23)
Commentary & Notes. Method = care: small physical adjustments keep the work humane and sustainable.
🛠️ Practice Corner — Two gentle applications
Why: Session 9 balances cosmic backstory with practical discipline.
Cycle awareness (2 min). At day’s end, ask: “What gateway opened today?” Name one tiny choiceless kindness you took (or could take tomorrow) as a way of meeting the hour.
Non‑infringement drill. In a conversation, withhold advice unless asked. Instead, offer presence and a clear question (e.g., “What would help most right now?”).
🔗 Companion Reading (why it helps here)
A Concept Guide — Harvest, Guardians/Quarantine, Mixed Contact, Second Density.
Living the Law of One: The Choice — simple practices for patience, presence, and non‑infringement.

🧠 Study Prompts
Where could you replace telling with asking to honor another’s free will?
What is one foundational exercise you’ve been skipping that would steady your day?
How do you relate to long cycles—what practice helps you keep patience over weeks or months?
🏁 Closing Note
Session 9 braids cosmology (cycles, Mars transfer) with ethics (non‑infringement, quarantine), then brings it home with care for the instrument. Next: Session 10—the second sitting that same day, continuing origins and safeguards.
