🧭 Session Snapshot
Date: September 24, 1982.
Core Themes:
Preparation is purification: skipping a piece of the working’s prep matters only relative to each participant’s achieved purity without that aid.
The 5D negative greeting: it can “snap to” the nearest practical moment in your space/time—here, right at the choice not to meditate.
Blue-ray clarity as protection: the throat-working persists and is reinforced when communication is unclear.
A rare, named scent: orange blossom as the odor associated with Latwii (present at the instrument’s request) during a sensitive phase of her 18-day cycle.
“Imaginary creatures” underfoot: a negative greeting leveraging the same sensitivity window.
Unorthodox medical suggestions as reported in the session: steroids/antibiotics to break the throat-distortion loop (not general advice); plus a recommended healer (“prayer wheel,” ten treatments).
Allergies reframed: a deep-level rejection of environment by the mind complex, expressing as bodily distortion.
Gandalf the cat: surgery guidance + the metaphysical claim that anger can seed cancer; plus “harvestable third density” and what that implies about “spirit complex” language.
A practical timekeeper: the 45-minute tape click as a built-in “end soon” signal to preserve the instrument’s throat comfort.
A sweet closing: a newly built pine table “sings with joy” and may be left as-is or rubbed with oil that “holds vibration.”
🌟 Key Takeaways
Skipping prep doesn’t “doom” the working—it shifts the conditions. Ra frames preparation as purification; removal of one aid is only as meaningful as what the group can sustain without it.
The 5D greeting was still fully effective. The choice not to meditate simply became the nearest practical juncture for the greeting to occur.
This session is a clear throat-working case study: a potent magical working + ongoing allergies = a feedback loop that keeps the distortion “alive.”
A striking datapoint: orange blossom scent = Latwii presence (as requested), perceived because the instrument was unusually sensitive at that moment.
“Harvestable third density” is used for a cat. Ra uses it to clarify what they mean by spirit complex—and why motivation, attachment, and “will to rejoin loved ones” can matter in healing/recovery narratives.
The metaphysical etiology is blunt: anger can be a causal distortion for cancer—and not only for 3D-harvestable beings.
🧩 Full Q&A with Commentary
98.1 — Condition of the instrument
Summary. Physical energy deficit has somewhat increased; vital energy distortions are somewhat improved.
Commentary. Classic Book V rhythm: less archetype, more “operational reality”—the contact lives inside a body.
98.2 — “We eliminated our meditation prior to the session.”
Summary. Preparation purifies each participant. Removing a portion of prep has value determined by the purity each has achieved without that aid.
Commentary. Ra’s emphasis isn’t “rule-following”—it’s inner cleanliness. The ritual is an aid, not the source.
98.3–98.4 — Was the greeting done “during meditation,” and was it less effective without meditation?
Summary. The 5D entity greets as close to the working as practicable. Skipping meditation caused the greeting to occur at the decision not to meditate. The greeting takes no noticeable amount of time. Effectiveness: yes, as effective as it would have been.
Commentary. The subtle lesson: the greeting doesn’t need a long window—just a viable hinge-point.
98.5 — Why throat greetings + dizziness + orange blossoms + stepping on “imaginary creatures” + greetings on walks? What helps?
Summary. Ra breaks this into parts:
The magical working touched the totality of biases that could increase vital/physical strength; throat/blue-ray difficulties weren’t fully ended after earlier asking, and a rare blue-ray blockage of unclear communication reinforced efficacy.
Allergies provide a continuous avenue for the working’s effects; removal requires fully removing the throat-area distortion, made challenging by ongoing allergic aggravation.
Orange blossom odor is associated with Latwii, present by request; it was perceived due to heightened sensitivity (18-day cycle acme).
“Stepping on a small animal” sensation was also a negative greeting enabled by that sensitivity.
Immediate help offered within the session’s frame: steroids or antibiotics might help fully remove the thriving throat difficulty (with allergies persisting afterward). “Jerome” may aid; orthodox allergy approaches are criticized as symptom-treating and inadvisable.
A general recommendation: a healer (“prayer wheel” codename), ten treatments, and careful prioritization of allergies (especially food).
Walks trigger effects when respiration increases, plus exposure to second-density allergens.
Commentary. Three practical lenses emerge:
Communication is metaphysical hygiene. When blue-ray clarity collapses, the working “grips.”
The body is a doorway. Allergic physiology becomes a handle for ongoing distortion.
Sensitivity windows amplify perception. Not everything perceived is “meaning”—some is signal-noise from heightened receptivity.
(And for our purposes: note the “steroids/antibiotics” mention is simply what this session reports, not medical guidance.)
🐈 Gandalf the cat: growth, surgery, and “harvestable third density”
98.6–98.8 — Is surgery less appropriate than last year, and what should we do to aid recovery?
Summary. No greater cause for caution than previously. Visualizing light and repeating ritual phrases can aid. Though old and at anesthetic risk, Gandalf’s mental/emotional/spiritual distortions show strong motivation to recover and rejoin the loved one. “Keep in mind this entity is harvestable third density.”
Commentary. Ra’s emphasis is motivational/relational: attachment and will-to-rejoin are treated as part of the healing ecology.
98.7 — Why “harvestable third density”?
Summary. Ra says it clarifies “spirit complex” language as applied to a second-density entity: the implication is more cause to abide and heal in order to seek loved ones’ presence.
Commentary. This is one of the most explicit “bridge points” between second density and the beginnings of self-aware spiritual motivation.
98.9–98.15 — Was anger the cause of the growths? Any other growths? Can we alleviate without surgery?
Summary.
Original cause of what you call cancer: distortion caused by the event (anger related to new cats).
Proximate cause: the nature of cancerous body-cell distortion.
Additional growths exist: right hip juncture; very small near liver; small distortions under both “arms.”
None can be alleviated at this nexus; continue in praise and thanksgiving, asking removal of distortions. Two outcomes: contented dwelling until the vehicle fails, or life-path shift allowing healing.
Another cat, Fairchild: not at this nexus.
Harvestability is not required for anger → cancer; any mind/body complex can develop cancer as a result of anger.
Commentary. This is heavy material—yet the practice instruction is very consistent: praise, thanksgiving, and a non-grasping openness to outcomes (healing or transition).
98.15–98.18 — A planned early ending: the tape-click as a kindness
Summary. Ra observes the instrument’s mucus/congestion likely requires ending within ~30 minutes. They also hear the tape-recorder sound; the group may choose to end soon after it to minimize throat discomfort until the magical working is removed. The group accepts. Ra adds: the new table “sings with joy”; pine vibrates in praise; leave it or rub with oil (magnetized, holds vibration profoundly). Closing: all is well; concerns appropriate; blessing.
Commentary. Two small gems:
A mechanical timer becomes ritual care.
Matter responds to love-investment (at least, within Ra’s framing): even a table becomes part of the sacred ecology.
🛠️ Practice Corner — Living Session 98
Preparation as purity (2 minutes). Before any “working” (meditation, writing, difficult talk): ask, “What would purification mean right now?” (Usually: honesty, simplicity, and a clean intention.)
Blue-ray repair (5 minutes). If you’re withholding something important, name it gently to the relevant other-self today. Session 98 repeats the theme: unclear communication strengthens distortions.
Scent as signal, not story (1 minute). If you notice a strange “sign” (odor, sensation, synchronicity), practice: record it without forcing meaning. Let the meaning emerge through lived discernment.
Anger transmutation (7 minutes). Identify one irritation you’ve been carrying. Offer it to the heart: “May this become clarity and kindness.” (Not suppression—alchemy.)
Love-investment in objects (3 minutes). Choose one mundane object (desk, cup, tool). Use it once with conscious gratitude. “It sings with joy” is a metaphor you can actually practice.

🧠 Study Prompts
When I “skip preparation,” what am I actually skipping—time, sincerity, or inner purification?
Where is unclear communication currently reinforcing a distortion in my life?
What would it mean (in my own terms) to treat anger as a distortion that seeks transformation—not as an identity?
If I couldn’t control outcomes (healing vs transition), could I still remain in praise and thanksgiving?
