An appreciation of 'Outlier' Don Elkins

[kycahi]

I just registered to say that I knew Don and agree with the observations shared here. He was equally superior and humble and never assumed that what someone else knew was to be challenged or dismissed.

He said that to investigate the kinds of phenomena that he researched, "you have to be completely gullible; only afterward should you analyze what information you got and examine it for validity."

Don wasn't perfect. After all he was living as we all do, in the third density. He had dark moods that colored his ability to participate in life with others, though he never let it be part of his outward personality. He didn't gripe or act ugly, ever, in front of me. He would sometimes say things that revealed discouragement, and Carla might just say, "Don, ixnay." That was enough. He stayed quiet after that or left the room.

I lived away from town when the Ra material came through. When I was visiting relatives and stopped in he would, with enthusiasm, relate some of the newest material that they received. I really wanted to be there when the sessions went on, but they politely discouraged that. When they published Volume 1, I devoured it in a couple of days. I picked it up again a week or so later and read it again, getting new insights. Reading all of the Material was/is a lot of fun.

Don was complicated and frequently discouraged. The Ra Material touched his passion for the truth and kept him going. I always will be grateful for having been a very small part of his life.
