Yes, this continues to make sense to me.
Also what about this. I just found this in my review of Book 4. Which, by the way, I am already feeling a little dragged down by the material here. I will just take this to be a manifestation of my "bias" and push through.
But anyway I knew that I had a link created in my mind from somewhere. I just couldn't exactly place it. So in that sense I am already glad I went back to Book 4.
First, recall my previous quote and comment:
Quote:Quote:Questioner: Was the original problem with the kidneys some 25 years ago caused by psychic attack?
Ra: I am Ra. This is only partially correct. There were psychic attack components to the death of this body at that space/time. However, the guiding vibratory complex in this event was the will of the instrument. This instrument desired to leave this plane of existence as it did not feel it could be of service.
Tenet Nosce Wrote:So... why was Carla being attacked way back in 1956, before the Ra contact had ever even been conceived? The attack seems to have been made with specific foreknowledge to the situation that would unfold in 1981, as documented here.
Now here we are in Session 77 (10 Feb 1982), and Ra confirms that Carla was just previously under attack. This is also the session where Ra states that the only way to fully disengage the negative entity is to cease the contact with Ra. Ra also takes the opportunity offered by Don to call Carla out a little bit on having failed to take their advice fully to the heart.
Quote:Ra: I am Ra. All was done well with one exception. The instrument was instructed to spend space/time contemplating its self as the Creator. This, done in a more determined fashion, would be beneficial at times when the mind complex is weakened by severe assaults upon the distortions of the body complex towards pain. There is no necessity for negative thoughtforms regardless of pain distortions. The elimination of such creates the lack of possibility for negative elementals and other negative entities to use these thought-forms to create the worsening of the mind complex deviation from the normal distortions of cheerfulness/anxiety.
In this case, Ra chose to emphasize perception of self as creator over creator as self. Just making a mental note of that for myself, and wonder if Carla would benefit from a reminder of this every now and again.

Next is this anomalous query:
Quote:Questioner: The instrument would also like to know if what we call tuning could be improved during times when we do not communicate with Ra?
Ra: I am Ra. That which has been stated in regard to the latter question will suffice to point the way for the present query.
Don is referring to improve the tuning... and Ra says... what? This is exactly where my brain farts in the beginning of Book 4. So whatever was going on there... is affecting my tuning in this moment. I think this is what Icaro is getting at.
Next up we see where the group actually thought they were under attack, but were entirely incorrect. They also give two names of supplements and state that they find themselves very close to the boundary of the Law of Confusion.
So here also is an example of transitory information in the beginning of Book 4, as I previously referred to along with great shock and amazement from some others. But then, hidden in the "junk" of the transitory response is what I was looking for! So it is all part of the process.
Ra Wrote:However, this particular physical vehicle has, for approximately twenty-five of your years, been vital due to the spirit, the mind, and the will being harmoniously dedicated to fulfilling the service it chose to offer.
Again we have twenty five years. Ra says that Carla made a choice to offer a service, and was harmoniously dedicated to it... twenty five years ago. Ra also says that the kidney incident, twenty-five years prior, was in part due to psychic attack.
This is the link between the kidney incident and Carla later channeling Ra. Perhaps I misinterpreted it, but I didn't pull it out of nowhere. I understand this to mean that Carla had already made the Choice at the time of the psychic attack 25 years prior.
Next up... finally Don wants to get back to the philosophical part of the material and here is what Ra says:
Ra Wrote:I am Ra. We cannot reply due to a needed portion of your query which has been omitted; that is, do we speak of this particular Logos?
What? What does Ra mean that a portion of the query has been omitted?
I'm sorry, this may not all be "convincing" but there is more than just coincidence or wishful thinking or projecting internal bias going on here. Icaro has proposed a hypothesis, and I have gone back and found evidence both in - and outside - of the material to support the hypothesis. I pulled an archived 1981 news article about solar flares out of my behind, for Ra's sake!
I am pretty sure we all agree that Ra was not replaced by a negative entity, and that the material is coherent enough to provide a very high degree of reliability. So let's put that aside and move forward from here.
