hi spaced, the few q&a that follow on from 74.13 actually elucidate that the banishing ritual of the lesser pentagram is one such method for calling on that light strength, that the ritual is effective because it lists the names of positive or sto powers, and furthermore that the use of vocal sound vibrations is like using training wheels or the difference between using a blunt instrument or a scalpel. kind of reminds me of nonverbal spells from harry potter lol. the remainder of the session also goes into why hebrew words might have power in their own right which probably makes ritual incorporating it somewhat effective. its kinda odd that in one instance Ra says they wont guide the group in the calling of this light strength but then a few session later confirms the ritual they use does exactly that...maybe there is a better ritual to use then the lesser banishing ritual.
Quote:74.14 ▶ Questioner: In selecting a protective ritual we finally agreed upon the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram. I assume that these sound vibratory complexes are the type you speak for the alerting of those on the inner planes. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.
74.15 ▶ Questioner: If we had constructed a ritual of our own with words used for the first time in the sequence of protection what would have been the relative merit of this with respect to the ritual that we chose?
Ra: I am Ra. It would be less. In constructing ritual it is well to study the body of written work which is available for names of positive or service-to-others power are available.
74.16 ▶ Questioner: I will make an analogy to the loudness of ringing of the telephone in using the ritual as the efficiency of the practitioners using the ritual. Now, I see several things affecting the efficiency of the ritual: first, the desire of the practitioners to serve, their ability to invoke the magical personality, their ability to visualize while performing the ritual, and let me ask you as to the relative importance of those items and how each may be intensified?
Ra: I am Ra. This query borders upon over-specificity. It is most important for the adept to feel its own growth as teach/learner.
We may only say that you correctly surmise the paramount import of the magical personality. This is a study in itself. With the appropriate emotional will, polarity, and purity, work may be done with or without proper sound vibration complexes. However, there is no need for the blunt instrument when the scalpel is available.
