Does Ra ever define what they considier a CALLING?

[Bring4th_Austin]

I often see people equating the "calling" and a sort of "majority vibration" with the Confederation being able to appear to us in person. I don't think that these things are as related as it seems to be. I'm sure there is an aspect of cultural accumulation, a percentage of people within a culture who feel a certain way about learning directly about ETs that would allow such an interaction, but I don't think that can be equated with the calling.

The calling, to me, is calling for their help. How they help isn't necessarily determined by the type of calling done. The Confederation's interaction with Earth has changed and shifted in nature over the course of history, always adapting to the effect they were having. It was not the number of those calling that allowed them to walk among the Egyptians, and it wasn't a decrease in calling that caused the Confederation to cease interaction with humans directly. It was how these interactions were affecting those who called. I believe determining the method of response to the call is a large part of their own lessons. They can respond by offering thought-form experiences for certain individuals, disseminating information via outlets such as human channels, influencing dreams, interacting in even more subtle ways, or perhaps one of the greatest responses Earth is receiving right now - wanderers. It is the calling that allows wanderers to incarnate. Without the calling, wanderers would not be here.

What exactly constitutes a calling seems to be vague and not necessarily consistent for each individual. The quote Aion shared shows this, as Ra can differentiate between them being called specifically versus the Confederation being called in its entire spectrum. And when they interacted with the Egyptians, Ra said it was their interest in the sun which allowed them to make contact because "this vibrates in concordance with our particular distortions." So I think the idea of calling is complicated and subtle.

But when talking about the calling, which seems to be mostly what Ra references, there seems to be a strong connection between "sorrow" and the calling:

7.7
Questioner: Can you tell me what the result of the application of the Law of Squares is to those figures?

Ra: The number is approximately meaningless in the finite sense as there are many, many digits. It, however, constitutes a great calling which we of all creation feel and hear as if our own entities were distorted towards a great and overwhelming sorrow. It demands our service.

12.26
Ra ... When a social memory complex has achieved its complete understanding of its desire, it may conclude that its desire is service to others with the distortion towards reaching their hand, figuratively, to any entities who call for aid. These entities whom you may call the Brothers and Sisters of Sorrow move towards this calling of sorrow. ...

14.8
Ra: ... The general cause of service such as the Confederation offers is that of the primal distortion of the Law of One, which is service. The One Being of the creation is like unto a body, if you will accept this third-density analogy. Would we ignore a pain in the leg? A bruise upon the skin? A cut which is festering? No. There is no ignoring a call. We, the entities of sorrow, choose as our service the attempt to heal the sorrow which we are calling analogous to the pains of a physical body complex distortion.

I think that many wanderers still feel this calling while they are incarnate, but without context (such as what Ra provides), it can be confusing and painful.
