The Relistening Project.....

[Eddie]

βαθμιαίος has been re-listening to all of the Ra tapes in order to pick up missed lines, decipher garbled responses, etc. His report on his efforts is in the transcript of the 2011 Homecoming presentations, and it turns out that there is a lot of interesting (previously missing) stuff there....for instance, this tidbit, from session 72:

Session 72

Questioner: Is it possible to over-energize the instrument with sexual energy transfers?

Ra: I am Ra. No.

Now I'm curious to know just what prompted the query...

Our chakras I've found have a braking system in them for when the energy builds too much. Especially the indigo ray, it does an excellent job of preventing this.

Hi Eddie!

You probably already know this, but "sexual energy transfer" was an important part of the way Carla and Jim prepared for each Ra session. If I remember correctly, they made sure there was transferred energy available (so to speak) to Carla the night before each session.

Yes, I knew that. But as sedate as Carla is, the thought of her being "overstimulated" conjures a very comical image.

She's sedate now, but she's in constant severe pain. Thirty years ago she might have been very different.

Perhaps I am the only person that sees the humor in this. I laughed for about an hour when I read that excerpt.

LOL!

Now that you mention it, it does make you wonder if the question was something Jim and Carla were wondering about or if it was something Don had been worrying about.

I will only say that indeed, Carla was a big fan of sex in all (well, most) of its wild variations, humor and glorious, gasmic fun. I don't think I would embarrass her to tell about the time a friend loaned me a stack of 8mm b&w stag films (this was before home video or the Internet were even gleams in a porn purveyor's eye). I viewed them and the next day I called and asked her if she would like to look at some. She said, "Sure!"

So I brought her back to my apartment and threaded up the films that I liked the best. The very first one began with a lady wearing a hula costume and dancing in front of a mirror, wearing only a lei on top and nothing under the grass skirt. Nearly at once, Carla said, "Come on, bring on the guy."

In those days with silent b&w films (most of you weren't even born yet), it was impossible not to crack wise and comment on the goings-on in the films, and we did. Lots of giggles, but we also enjoyed the "coupling" for what it was. To answer your question no, we didn't follow that up with play of our own, but we did appreciate the behaviors we saw and she thanked me for sharing the films with her. So think of Carla as a well-rounded, fully appreciative woman.

I know nothing about this at all, but I can imagine that Don might have considered Carla and Jim "doing it" if that would improve her energy and, incidentally, the contact with Ra. He adored her on so many levels. Probably seven, in fact.

I too laughed at the image of Don thumping on the wall.

I believe L/L was just getting started during the 1967 Summer of Love.
