The Detuning of Session 17 and Ra's True Intentions Regarding 2011 - Part II

[βαθμιαίος]

I have identified the source of my idea that the rituals were not 100% effective. Also in the beginning of Book 4:

Questioner: Has our use of the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram been of any value and what is its effect?

Ra: I am Ra. This group’s use of the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram has been increasingly efficacious. Its effect is purification, cleansing, and protection of the place of working.
The efficacy of this ritual is only beginning to be, shall we say, at the lower limits of the truly magical. In doing the working those aspiring to adepthood have done the equivalent of beginning the schoolwork, many grades ahead. For the intelligent student this is not to be discouraged; rather to be encouraged is the homework, the reading, the writing, the arithmetic, as you might metaphorically call the elementary steps towards the study of being. It is the being that informs the working, not the working that informs the being. Therefore, we may leave you to the work you have begun.

The ritual is here, in Session 77, only beginning to be at the lower limits of the truly magical.

Would anybody care to shed some light on this?

The banishing ritual is not the same thing as the circle of one.

Which is why I have been saying that it is "all right there in Book One" because it sets up a vibrational pattern that persists throughout the remainder of the sessions. I am having trouble finding the words to describe it... I have tried forwarding this idea in different ways among various threads but it keeps getting met with resistance. So obviously, I haven't quite landed on it yet.

The first book has more transient material, and that was on purpose (see quotes below). However, the second, third, and fourth books get deeper and deeper into material about the evolution of mind, body, and spirit.

37.4 Questioner: I have been very hesitant to ask certain questions for fear that they would be regarded, as I regard them, as questions of unimportance or of too great a specificity and thereby reduce our contact with you. In order to disseminate some of the information that I consider to be of great importance; that is, the non-transient type of information, information having to do with the evolution of mind, body, and spirit, it seems almost necessary in our society to include information that is of little value simply because that is how our society works, how the system of distribution appraises that which is offered for distribution. Will you comment on this problem that I have?

27.3 Questioner: This session I thought we would start Book Two of THE Law of One, which will focus on what we consider to be the only important aspect of our being. This, I assume, will be a much more difficult task than the first book. We want to focus on things that are not transient, and as questioner I may have difficulty at times.

When I do have this difficulty I may fall back on some transient questions simply because I will not be able to formulate what I really need, and I apologize for this. I will try my best to stay on the track and eliminate things of no value from the book if they do occur during my questioning.

53.24 Questioner: I apologize for asking many transient questions during this session. I felt it necessary to include some of this material so that those Wanderers and others reading the first book of The Law of One would not get the wrong impression with respect to their experiences in contacts. I am sorry for any problems that I might have caused.

(Some material from session 53 was published in Book I.)

I am saying it did cause confusion, as evidenced by us in this very forum being confused. Do you see what I am saying here?

I guess not. Are you saying that Ra pausing while Jim unpacked groceries caused confusion?

This is very interesting. Is there anything else you can share about Leonard?

No, I don't know anything about Leonard.
