Tuning, tuning, tuning...

[Questioner]

Gary, thank you for the thoughtfully presented questions. I agree with the inclination to move thoughtfully, in a prayerful and measured way.

Perhaps those able to attend Homecoming in person might have a productive conversation in person about these matters. Meanwhile, I realize that the conversation might need to proceed gradually because of the time and energy commitment needed for Homecoming. Please guide this process at a pace that feels entirely comfortable, reasonable, and well considered.



I love and honor your comments about tuning. I also love and honor your comments about spiritual awakening as an opening to already-existing material and transformational energies inherent around, within, and through us, rather than something we have to somehow force or make happen.

My first post on the forum honored and inquired about Carla's tuning process. I note that she challenged contacts in the name of Christ's mystical love, which was the highest manifestation of positive Light that she understood. As I understand it, this tuning on her part, together with the tuning of Don and Jim together with her, opened the channel to the Ra contact. She later revised her request to include the condition that she be able to maintain full conscious awareness during contact, which opened the channel to the Q'uo contact.

I also commented on how Don's unique personality and research techniques perfectly prepared him for his role as Questioner of the Ra contact, a role I imperfectly seek to honor in my participation here.

These were like the orchestra tuning to the oboe, the instrument with the most fixed of pitches.


I note that Carla's emphatic recommendation is that people not seek to channel outside the context of a spiritual community which works together on their tuning.

It is my goal and hope that the new experimental forum can be an opportunity to increase our tuning in terms of perceptive wisdom in selecting, understanding, integrating, applying... or wisely declining to do these things... with other channeled sources, in the context of a spiritual community drawn together by this tuning process.

Whether we've personally met the L/L Research team or not, all forum members are drawn with a deep personal resonance that tunes into the messages on the Ra and Q'uo frequencies, so to speak. I agree with those who speculate that we are most likely the earlier-in-time embodiments of entities that, in the future, have merged with Ra or a compatible higher-density complex; seeking unity through the exploration of the positive path open to us through our third density Choice to be of service to others.

This unity and tuning is the most precious aspect of the forum, pervading and transcending any individual topics and comments by suffusing them with light and loving kindness towards each other.



Just as Don's research through many different contact reports led to his discovery of tuning principles, I feel that the personal backgrounds, interests, awareness, scientific and spiritual journeys of participants here give us a shared ability to honor Don's cross-referencing work by, in a sense, continuing it in a different venue and scale.

I respectfully suggest that the new forum include some kind of guideline which encourages an honest, unflinching look at whether or not a tuning process was used by the channels; and if so, how that tuning process compares to Carla's.

There may well be extremely valuable, helpful, positive material received by people who had a total absence of any conscious effort or deliberate ritual towards tuning. If so, the absence of tuning should be noted. In the absence of a tuning practice, there is the risk - not necessarily outcome - of destabilization or perversion of positive into negative through an untuned channel. If the channeler has stated a personal standard of evaluation for which contacts or messages to accept, that should be noted as well.

I respectfully request that we first look at what could be superb, excellent, great, wise, loving, happy and positive about discussing the best of uplifting channeled material compatible with the Law of One. I recommend that this positive focus come first, and then be followed by an entirely forthright and open look at the potential downsides. In engineering terms, this means defining the ideal function, then adding features to prevent, relieve, or overcome the drawbacks. I am not opposed to "devil's advocate" type concerns, but I ask that they be put in context of supporting what could be best.
