The more that I learn about Don Elkins, the more amazed I am... and the more I wish I could have met him in person in person.
Unfortunately, the year he died I was only 15. I had come across some books and articles about hypnotic regression to study reincarnation and UFO abductions. It all seemed very far out to me. Close Encounters was just a fantasy story for me to enjoy. I would not learn about the concept of channeling, let alone think of taking channeled messages seriously, for a couple more decades.
Moderators, thank you for helping me consider if my next comments are appropriate... I'm glad it's OK to post these thoughts.
I have a heartbreaking, tragic theory about Don
Reading between the lines, and including comments Carla made in her new blog talk radio posts, I have a theory about what happened to Don at the sudden end of the Ra contact.
I surmise that Don may have reached a conclusion along these lines:
The "negative friend" of psychic greeting wanted to destroy the Ra contact. The purpose of the negative contact was to interfere with or eliminate Ra's further opportunity to increase the positive Harvest. The source of the negative contact was even willing to sacrifice even the potential for an increased negative Harvest. (If Ra's information had continued, Ra's neutrality might have left an opening for negative-path entities to have used this information for their own purposes.)
The negative source was aggressive and relentless in its pursuit. It looked for whatever weak point it could find, in mind, body, or spirit, within any of the three people who together received the Ra contact.
The weakest point in the three mind/body/spirt complexes was Carla's physical health. This was relentlessly attacked.
Don realized that continuing the contact would also continue the attack, which would ultimately kill Carla physically. He also realized that as long as the three of them were all alive, they would all feel compelled to continue to seek the ongoing communication with Ra. Don knew that Carla would willingly give her life in this pursuit, just as Don would have if the physical weakness had been his own.
My theory: Don made a profound moral choice, and said something to the attacker, along the lines of: "Leave her alone; if there must be an attack against this group, let it be against me." And this was done.
Don's physical constitution was stronger than Carla's; and as with her, an attack against his spirit would not have brought him down. The weakest point, where Don's mind/body/spirit complex was subject to attack, was in the emotional aspect of his mind. The hairline crack exploited by the attacker was Don's totally understandable, and quite common, frustration with and despair against the seemingly endless nature of Catalyst here behind the Veil.
This was the tiniest of cracks in the spiritual armor of Don's nature. It's a crack shared by countless spiritual seekers including myself, one that in everyday circumstances would be an inconsequential opportunity for healing through further Catalyst. To point it out is not in any way shortchanging the excellent nature of Don's character, or his unique qualifications for his role in the contact.
For example, I can be one in whom the crack of those negative emotions could be a weak spot. As I'm likely a less self-disciplined and self-aware person than Don, if it was a hairline fracture in his nature, it might be wide enough for a motorcycle plus sidecar worth of negativity to get driven inside my mind.
There is, however, no particular reason for me to be subject to the attack that was made against this chink in Don's armor.
I've not devoted my life to the investigation and publication of profound spiritual knowledge based on primary sources. I'm not a crucial component of one of the most uniquely profound spiritual interactions of modern history. Therefore the negative spiritual forces have no reason to attack me with the focused, relentless targeting they did to Don.
It's hard to imagine, but I'm sure it would have been far more frustrating to get to converse with Ra, to learn of higher densities of existence within light and love, to have Wanderer status personally confirmed, and then have to ponder how difficult and confusing life on earth can be.
And it might have been orders of magnitude more despairing to realize that the fulfillment of Don's mission, to help bring forth this information, would almost certainly lead to the physical death of the woman he loved.
Once Don gave his permission, this crack was then relentlessly attacked by the "negative friend." The attacker was able to drive a wedge in and widen it enough so that these negative emotions were subverted to Don's tragic end.
In his final months, the emotional aspect of his mind was subject to a nonstop barrage of spiritual attacks. These continued until a sad instant when there was just enough of a momentary chance for the temporarily overwhelmed negative emotional center to seize control of Don's physical actions. In this way it could be ultimately subverted, finally used against the continuity of his physical life.
