[Ankh]

Sure, I could simply open my heart and take in the energy with no discernment, with the idea of transmuting it through love, but I think that Ra misses the key point that the individual has to be able to do so without distortion and without identification for that to happen "flawlessly".

Where did you get that from that Ra misses the above point? On contrary, this quote says exactly the opposite:

There is no magic greater than honest distortion toward love.

The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram was used by them before each working,

No, it wasn't:

103.16 Questioner: Our appropriate time limit for this working, I believe, is rapidly approaching, so I would like to ask what was the problem in this session when twice in this session we had to expel breath over the instrument’s chest?

Ra: I am Ra. This instrument is unaware of the method used to contact Ra. However, its desire was particularly strong, at the outset of this working, for this working to transpire. Thus it inadvertently was somewhat premature in its leaving of the yellow-ray, physical body.

In this state the object was dropped upon the instrument which you call the tie-pin microphone. The unexpected contact caused injury of the chest muscles and we would advise some care depending from this working to avoid stress so that this injury may heal. There is a metaphysical component to this injury and, therefore, we wished to be quite sure that all portions of the environment were cleansed. Since this place of working has not its usual level of protection we used your breath to so cleanse the environment, which was at risk.

103.17 Questioner: Is the reason for this lack of protection the fact that it has been a considerable time since we have worked in here?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

103.18 Questioner: What is the reason?

Ra: I am Ra. The lack of regular repetition of the so-called Banishing Ritual is the lack of which we spoke.

103.19 Questioner: From this I assume that it would be most appropriate to perform the Banishing Ritual daily in this room. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. That is acceptable.

Observe that this was in session 103, almost at the end of the contact.

yet they were still open to the entrance of this 5D being.

During their day to day activities, yes, but not during the contact, or Ra workings.

This indicates to me that this 5D being was being called or attracted by aspects of the individuals of the working.

Dedication of the group and those of Ra was approaching purity and it was done in service to others. That is what attracted this entity:

The unique characteristic of the workings which the social memory complex Ra and your group have begun is the intent to serve others with the highest attempt at near purity which we as comrades may achieve.

This has alerted a much more determined friend of negative polarity which is interested in removing this particular opportunity.

There are other quotes saying similar.

What this fifth density entity then did, is to attack the instrument because of her pre-incarnative physical complex distortions:

In the case of this particular group each was given a full range of temptations to cease being of service to each other and to the One Infinite Creator. Each entity declined these choices and instead continued with no significant deviations from the desire for a purely other-self service orientation. At this point one of the fifth-density entities over-seeing such detuning processes determined that it would be necessary to terminate the group by what you might call magical means, as you understand ritual magic. We have previously discussed the potential for the removal of one of this group by such attack and have noted that by far the most vulnerable is the instrument due to its pre-incarnative physical complex distortions.

The Ra Material is a wonderful source of wealth for philosophical, and metaphysical teachings, but it does not contain within it detailed mechanics for magickal working,

lol! I so totally disagree, but giving the examples and quotes of this would take a lot of space.

but places everything within the context of polarization, and often in a black and white manner. While this is useful for polarization, it could be detrimental to an initiate of lesser understanding who is attempting to learn and understand the processes of magickal working.

Channeling Yoda I now do, to give a light touch to this one:

Mm... ONE intelligent infinity is. ONE intelligent energy is. Mm... See the confusion in Jedi I do. Mm... Confusing a path of a Jedi sometimes is... Seek inside he must...
