carrie, thank you for sharing the protocol that you have found helpful! I'm glad it works well for you.
Other protocols might work just as well for others. And, I can't help but think that, regardless of the protocol used, the most important aspect to maintaining a safe and secure contact might be the intention to attract only the highest good. Regardless of the words Carla might have used, I think it was her intention that attracted the Confederation entities. After the contact was well underway, the love, harmony, and unified purpose of channeling team were crucial to maintaining the caliber of the contact.
Likewise, there may be other channeled sources out there who use a different protocol, but whose integrity is high as well. I do agree that Ra must have used that protocol for a reason and it is a good protocol. I'm just saying that there might be other protocols that work just as well, for others.
A full discussion of all the various protocols used by other channeled sources is beyond the scope of this discussion (or this forum for that matter), but I think we can all agree that Carla's (and Don's and Jim's) attempt to keep the contact pure was exemplary! And now we are able to enjoy the fruits of their efforts: The Law of One! (and subsequent channeled works as well.)
I feel very appreciative for the way in which Carla handled the contact. I remember when I first read the books around 1985, her insistence upon the highest good gave me great comfort and reassurance, as I embarked upon what turned out to be an incredible adventure!
But, ultimately, it was my resonance with the concepts and knowledge espoused by Ra, rather than any particular words used, that made me completely comfortable in exploring further.
Whereas I have often felt uncomfortable when reading other channeled works, even though portions of them might have resonated, for the Law of One resonated more completely and deeply than anything I had ever encountered, before or since.
