THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS:
SETTING UP THE GAME
7. THE BEGINNING OF ALL THINGS
I. THE INFINITE ONE = THE SOURCE = INTELLIGENT INFINITY
A. THE INFINITE ONE IS UNFOCUSED AND UNDIFFERENTIATED
QUESTION: Can you tell me the first known thing in creation? RA: The first known thing in creation is infinity. (B1, 129)
B. AWARENESS DAWNS QUESTION: What is the next step? RA: Infinity became aware. (B1, 129)
II. FROM THE INFINITE ONE DESIRING TO EXPERIENCE ITSELF ARISES THE CREATOR
A. THE CREATOR CREATES (OUTER) SPACE RA: As the Creator decides to experience Itself It generates into that
plenum (nothingness that has the potential for being) full of the glory and
the power of the One Infinite Creator which is manifest to your perceptions
as space or outer space. (B4, 65)
B. THE CREATOR DIVIDES INTO (OR CREATES) INDIVIDUALIZED PORTIONS OF ITSELF
RA: Step by step, the Creator becomes that which may know (or experience)
Itself, and the portions of the Creator partake less purely in the power of
the original word or thought. The creation itself is a form of consciousness
which is unified.
THE CREATOR DOES NOT PROPERLY CREATE AS MUCH AS IT EXPERIENCES ITSELF. (B1,
65)
III. THE CREATOR = THE FOCUSING OF INTELLIGENT INFINITY INTO INTELLIGENT
ENERGY RA: Awareness led to the focus of infinity into infinite energy. You have
called this by various names, the most common being ‘logos’ or ‘love’ [But
love is actually the 2nd distortion]. (B1, 129)
RA: The Creator is the focusing of infinity as an aware conscious principle
called intelligent infinity. (B1, 129) (NOTE: When infinity focuses itself,
then creation occurs.)
RA: Love may be seen as the type of energy of an extremely high order which
causes intelligent energy to be formed from the potential of
intelligent
infinity in a particular way. All love emanates from the Oneness. (B2, 8)
IV. INTELLIGENT INFINITY AND INTELLIGENT ENERGY RA: There is unity. This unity is all there is. This unity has a potential
and a kinetic. The potential is intelligent infinity, Tapping this potential
will yield work [or the kinetic part.] This work [or kinetic part] has been
called by us, intelligent energy. [Yet] there is no difference, potential or
kinetic, in unity. The basic rhythms of intelligent infinity are totally
without distortion of any kind. The rhythms are clothed in mystery, for they
are being itself. Its unity is undistorted. However, there is a vast
potential to be tapped into by focuses of energy, which we call intelligent
energy, (So, in a certain sense It does have a potential - as seen from that
which taps into It, but not as seen from that which It is.) (B2, 7) -
(Recall Tillich’s ground of being).
V. THE GREAT CENTRAL SUN AND THE RHYTHM OF INTELLIGENT INFINITY
RA: Intelligent infinity has a rhythm or flow as of a giant heart beginning
with the central sun as you would conceive of this, the presence of the flow
inevitable as a tide of beingness without polarity, without finiteness, the
vast and silent all beating outward, outward and inward until all the
focuses are complete. Then their spiritual nature or mass calls them inward,
inward until all is coalesced. This is the rhythm of reality. (B2, 6)
8. THE TOOLS OF REASON = 3 BASIC DISTORTIONS OF THE ONE
I.
THE 1ST DISTORTION = FREE WILL QUESTION: The 1st distortion of intelligent infinity is
free will. Can you
give a definition of this distortion? RA: In this distortion of the Law of One it is recognized that the Creator
will know Itself (or experience Itself). (B2, 7) The primal distortion is
free will. (B2, 8)
QUESTION: The Creator then grants total freedom of choice in the ways of
knowing. Is this correct? (B2, 7) RA: This is quite correct. (B2, 7)
QUESTION: Then all other distortions spring from this first distortion, is
this correct? RA: It is both correct and incorrect.
In your illusion of physical existence all experience springs from the Law
of Free will or the Way of Confusion.
In another sense, which we are learning, the experiences are this
distortion. (B2, 7)
II. THE 2ND DISTORTION = LOVE A. THE FOCUSING OF FREE WILL YIELDS LOVE
RA: The 1st distortion, free will, finds a focus which is known to you as
logos, the Creative Principle or love. This focus may be called the 2nd
distortion. (B1, 148)
RA: The second distortion is the distortion of love. (B2, 7-8)
B. LOVE SEEKS TO KNOW ITSELF RA: The distortion love is the great activator and primal co-Creator of
various creations using intelligent infinity. (B2, 8)... Love uses Its
intelligent energy to create a certain pattern of illusions or densities in
order to satisfy Its own intelligent estimate of a method of knowing itself.
(B2, 9)
III. THE 3RD DISTORTION = LIGHT (NOTE: Light, or light energy, is transformative: it may, or may not, be
connected to love)
RA: This intelligent energy thus creates a distortion known as Light. From
these 3 distortions come many, many hierarchies of distortions each having
its own paradoxes to be synthesized, no one being any more important than
another. (B1, 148)
RA: The origin of all energy is the action of
free will upon love. The
nature of all energy is light, including the inner light which is the
guiding star of the self. This is the true nature of all entities. (B3, 30)
RA: THE INNER LIGHT IS YOUR HEART OF BEING. ITS STRENGTH EQUALS YOUR
STRENGTH OF WILL TO SEEK THE LIGHT. (B3, 46)
RA: A certain amount of awareness of the inner light is necessary to attract
the in-streaming light upward spiraling from the south magnetic pole of
being (the foot chakra), (B3, 46)
9. THE CREATION
I. THE CREATOR EXPLORES THE CONCEPT OF MANYNESS (INDIVIDUAL ENTITIES)
RA: That which is infinite cannot be many, far many-ness is a finite
concept. In an infinite Creator there is only unity, (B1, 66-67)
RA: Intelligent infinity discerned a concept, namely, freedom of will of
awareness.
This concept was finiteness. This is the first and primal paradox or
distortion of the Law of One. Thus the one intelligent infinity invested
itself in an exploration of many-ness.
Due to the infinite possibilities of
intelligent infinity (or the Oneness),
there is no ending to many-ness. The exploration thus is free to continue
infinitely into an eternal present. (B1, 130-131)
RA: EACH ENTITY (MIND/BODY/SPIRIT COMPLEX) IS A UNIQUE PORTION OF THE ONE
CREATOR. (B2, 22)
II. THE CREATION HAS AN INFINITE NUMBER OF DIMENSIONS WITHIN THE OCTAVE
FORMAT RA: The next sep is an infinite reaction to the creative principle
(intelligent energy) following the Law of One in one of its basic
distortions, namely, freedom of will. Thus many, many dimensions, infinite
in number, are possible.
The energy moves from the intelligent infinity due first to the outpouring
of randomized creative force which then creates patterns. These patterns of
energy begin to regularize their own rhythms and fields of energy, thus
creating dimensions and universes. At this point the physical universes were
not yet born.
The steps are simultaneous and infinite. (B1, 129-130)
RA: The universe is infinite. This has yet to be proven or disproven, but we
can assure you that there is no end to your selves, or your journey of
seeking or your perceptions of the creations. (B1, 66)
III. AN INDIVIDUALIZED PORTION OF GOD CREATED OUR GALAXY (BILLIONS OF STARS)
QUESTION: Was our galaxy created by intelligent infinity or by a portion of
it? RA: The galaxy and all other material things are products of individualized
portions of intelligent infinity. As each exploration began, an
individualized portion of the One would, in its turn, find its focus and
become co-creator. Using intelligent infinity each portion created a
universe. Allowing the rhythm of free choice to flow and playing with the
infinite spectrum of possibilities, each individualized portion channeled
love/light into intelligent energy, thus creating the so-called Natural Laws
of any particular universe. Each has its own local version of illusory
Natural Laws.
IT SHALL BE UNDERSTOOD THAT ANY PORTION, NO MATTER HOW SMALL, OF ANY DENSITY
OR OF ANY ILLUSORY PATTERN CONTAINS, AS IN A HOLOGRAPHIC PICTURE, THE ONE
CREATOR WHICH IS INFINITY. THUS ALL BEGINS AND ENDS IN MYSTERY. (B1, 131)
RA: The white light which emanates and forms the articulated sub-logos has
its beginning in what may be metaphysically seen as darkness. The light
comes into that darkness and transfigures it, causing the chaos to organize
and become reflective or radiant. Thus the dimensions come into being. (B2,
78-79)
QUESTION: Considering only our Milky Way Galaxy at its beginnings, I will
assume that the first occurrence that we could see with our telescopes was
the appearance of a star of the nature of our sun. Is this correct? (B4, 64) RA: The first manifestation of
the Creator or logos in creating a galaxy is
the appearance of a cluster of outward swirling energies that produce new
energy centers for the Logos. These energy centers are called stars.
The closer to the, shall we say, beginning of the manifestation of the logos
the star is, the more it partakes in the one original thought. (B4, 64)
IV. THE LOGOS FOR OUR GALAXY CREATED THE SUN BEFORE THE PLANETS
RA: The co-creator, individualizing the galaxy, created energy patterns
which focused in many centers of conscious awareness of intelligent
infinity. The progression is from the galaxy spiraling energy to the solar
spiraling energy to the planetary spiraling energy to the spiraling energy
which started the 1st density of awareness in planetary entities. (B1,
131-132)
[Note that all the stable basic particles (electron, proton, and neutron -
and also quarks) cannot exist without spinning (spiraling). In Convergence:
The Physics of Ascension Wilcock discusses how this spiraling, expanding
growth principle applies to all levels of order in the universe, from the
micro to the macro, and how they are all perfectly harmonically partitioned
from each other by a factor of 34560 (see the work of Ray Tomes.) Although
Ra does not directly indicate that this partitioning is harmonic in the
above quote, it can be inferred from context; so again, in 1981 Ra was well
ahead of the times.]
V. THE CREATION OF BEINGS’ AWARENESS IS FOCUSED INTO INDIVIDUAL
CONSCIOUSNESS A. 1ST DENSITY ENTITIES APPEAR ON EARTH
RA: EACH STEP PLAYS OUT AGAIN THE DISCOVERY OF AWARENESS BY INTELLIGENT
INFINITY. IN A PLANETARY ENVIRONMENT ALL BEGINS IN WHAT YOU WOULD CALL
CHAOS, ENERGY UNDIRECTED AND RANDOM. SLOWLY THERE FORMS A FOCUS OF
SELF-AWARENESS. THUS THE LOGOS MOVES. LIGHT COMES TO FORM THE DARKNESS,
according to the creator’s patterns and vibratory rhythms. This begins with
the 1st density which is the density of consciousness, the mineral and water
life upon the planet learning from fire and wind the awareness of being.
This is the 1st density. (B1, 132)
B. THE EVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS THROUGH THE DENSITIES
(1) 2ND DENSITY ENTITIES EVOLVE FROM 1ST DENSITY RA: On the planet second density beings begin to move about within and upon
its being. (B1, 132)
(2) 3RD DENSITY ENTITIES EVOLVE FROM 2ND DENSITY RA: The 2nd density strives towards the 3rd density which is the density of
self-consciousness or self-awareness. (B1, 133)
10. THE LAW OF ONE
RA: THE LAW OF ONE SIMPLY STATES THAT ALL THINGS ARE ONE, THAT ALL BEINGS
ARE ONE. (B1, 92)
I. THERE IS NO REAL (OR ETERNAL) POLARITY
RA: In truth there is no right or wrong. There is no polarity for all will
be reconciled at some point in your dance through the mind/body/spirit
complex with which you amuse yourself. This belief in polarity is chosen
instead of understanding the complete unity of thought that binds all things
together.
-
You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every situation.
-
You are unity.
-
You are infinity.
-
You are love/light, light/love.
-
You are.
This is the Law of One. (B1, 67)
The Law of One, although beyond all words, may be approximated by saying
that all things are one, there is no polarity, no right or wrong, no
disharmony, but only one identity. All is one; and that one is love/light,
light/love, the Infinite Creator. (B1, 85)
THE LAW OF ONE SAYS THAT ALL THINGS ARE ONE CREATOR. THUS SEEKING THE
CREATOR IS DONE NOT JUST IN MEDITATION AND IN THE WORK OF THE ADEPT, BUT IN
THE EXPERIENCE OF EVERY MOMENT. (B3, 49)
IN EACH INFINITESIMAL PART OF YOURSELF RESIDES THE ONE IN ALL OF ITS POWER.
(B1, 146)
RA: The unity of the Creator exists, not only in a self-aware being, but
within the smallest portion of any material created by Love. (B2, 111)
RA: Each mind/body/spirit complex is a unique portion of the One Creator.
(B2, 22)
JIM MCCARTY: “All events are illusions or mysteries because each represents
the One Creator in one disguise or another, offering us a greater or lesser
opportunity to find love, joy, balance and perfection in each moment.” (B5,
56)
II. THE PROGRESSION THROUGH DENSITIES OCCURS IN ALL GALAXIES
QUESTION: Is the progression of life in other galaxies similar to ours? (B1,
156) RA: The progression is close to being the same, with only minor variations.
QUESTION: Then the Law of One is truly universal in creating a progression
towards the 8th density in all galaxies. Is this correct? (B1, 156) RA: This is correct.
RA: This octave of Infinite knowledge of the One Infinite Creator is as it
is throughout the One Infinite Creation, with variations programmed by
sub-logoi of what you call major galaxies and minor galaxies. These
variations are not significant but may be compared to various regions in
which different pronunciations of the same sound vibration are used. (B3,
159)
11. AN EXTENSION OF THE 1ST DISTORTION
THE VEIL OF FORGETFULNESS AND THE WAY OF CONFUSION
I. THE VEIL OF FORGETFULNESS A. THE VEIL MAKES YOU FORGET YOUR TRUE IDENTITY AND PURPOSE
RA: This is the only place of forgetting. It is necessary for the 3rd
density entity to forget what it really is so that the mechanisms of
confusion or free will may operate upon the newly individuated consciousness
complex. (B1, 193)
RA: The veiling process is a space/time phenomenon; it is not present in the
metaphysical realm (time/space). (B4, 73)
RA: Without the veil the mind was not caught in your illusory time. (B4, 94)
QUESTION: Why must an entity come into an incarnation and lose conscious
memory of what he wants to do? Why can’t he accomplish the same thing in
between incarnations when the entity is aware of what he wants to do? (B2,
132) RA: WERE THERE NO POTENTIALS FOR MISUNDERSTANDING..., THERE WOULD BE NO
EXPERIENCE. (B3, 24)
QUESTION: The first change made for the extension of free will was to make
the communication between the conscious mind and unconscious mind relatively
unavailable one to the other during the incarnation. Is this correct? (B4,
40) RA: We would perhaps rather term the condition as relatively more
mystery-filled than relatively unavailable. (B4, 41)
B. THE VEIL SPLITS THE MIND INTO CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS PARTS
QUESTION: The idea was then to create some type of veil between the
conscious mind and the unconscious mind. Is this correct? (B4, 41) RA: This is correct.
QUESTION: It was probably the design of the logos to allow the conscious
mind greater freedom under the first distortion by partitioning it from the
unconscious mind which had a greater communication with the total mind,
therefore allowing for the birth of "uneducated" portions of consciousness.
Is this correct? (B4, 41) RA: This is roughly correct. (B4, 41)
II. THE LAW OF CONFUSION A. RA DOES NOT GIVE INFORMATION THAT WOULD VIOLATE THE LAW OF CONFUSION
RA: There is a limit beyond which information (if given by Ra) would be an
intrusion upon the law of confusion. (B3, 53)
RA: It is not our understanding that we have the right or duty to share our
perceptions on any subject except philosophy without direct question. (B1,
73)
RA: Unless the question contains the potential for answers which may
infringe upon free will, we offer our answers - even if the question is
unimportant. (B1, 95)
QUESTION: Would it be helpful if Ra were to describe the techniques that Ra
used while Ra was in 3rd density to evolve spiritually? (B3, 98) RA: That question lies beyond the Law of Confusion. (B3, 98)
B. DOES RA INCORPORATE INCORRECT DATA? QUESTION: If I were in the place of Ra right now, the 1st distortion of the
law of One might cause me to mix some incorrect data with the true
information I was transmitting to this group. Do you do this? RA: We do not intentionally do this. However there will be some confusion.
It is not our intent to create incorrect information, but to express the
feeling of the Infinite Mystery of the One Creation in its infinite and
intelligent unity. (B1, 170)
C. THE "EQUAL TIME” RULE:
OPPORTUNITY, FOR BOTH POLARIZATIONS, MUST BE BALANCED (1) THE MALDEK EXAMPLE
QUESTION: How did the Confederation send this love and light to those of
Maldek after they destroyed their planet? RA: There dwell within
the Confederation planetary entities who from their
planetary spheres do nothing but send love and light as pure streamings to
those who call. This is not in the form of conceptual thought but of pure
and undifferentiated love. (B1, 195)
QUESTION: Did the 1st distortion of the Law Of One require that equal time
be given to the self-service group? RA: In this case it was not necessary for a certain time because the
orientation of these Maldek entities was such that the aid of
the
Confederation was not perceived. (B1, 195)
QUESTION: Since it was not perceived, it was not necessary to balance this.
Is that correct? RA: That is correct. What is necessary to balance is opportunity. When there
is ignorance, there is no opportunity. (B1, 195)
(2) THE EXAMPLE OF THE CHILDREN WITH A DOUBLE BODY IN ACTIVATION
QUESTION: There are many children now who have demonstrated the ability to
bend metal mentally which is a 4th density phenomenon. (B3, 91) RA: These entities are those incarnating with a double body in activation.
This transitional body is one which will be able to appreciate 4th density
vibratory complexes as the in-streamings increase without the accompanying
disruption of the 3rd density body. (B3, 90)
QUESTION: Is the reason that they can bend metal with their minds and the
5th density Wanderers who are here cannot the fact that these children have
the 4th density body in activation? RA: This is correct. The mind/body/spirit of the
Wanderers are activated
only to the level of 3rd density and are subject to the forgetting which can
only be penetrated with disciplined meditation and working. (B3, 92)
QUESTION: These children are not infringing upon the 1st distortion because
they are children now and they won’t be old enough to really affect people’s
choice of polarization until the transition to the time of harvest is well
advanced. However, the Wanderers who have come here are older and have a
greater ability to affect people’s polarization. They must do their
affecting as a function of their ability to penetrate the forgetting process
in order to be within the 1st distortion. Is this correct? (B3, 92) RA: That is quite correct.
RA: It would be an infringement of the 1st distortion (free will) if
Wanderers penetrated the forgetting so far as to activate the more dense
higher density bodies and thus be able to live in a god-like manner. (B3,
111)
12. AN INFRINGEMENT ON FREE WILL
I. JESUS DID NOT INFRINGE ON FREE WILL
QUESTION: What was the orientation of Jesus with respect to this type of
communication (the communication style used by evangelists)? (B3, 173) RA: Jesus offered himself as a teacher to those which gathered to hear and
even then he spoke as through a veil so as to leave room for those not
wishing to hear. (B3, 173) – i.e., in parables
II. WHY DIDN’T HIS MAGICAL WORKS INFRINGE UPON FREE WILL?
QUESTION: It would seem that seeing the miracles performed by Jesus would
abridge free will to some extent in that a seemingly magical occurrence took
place as a result of the working of an adept. Could you speak on this
paradox that is immediately the problem of anyone doing healing. (B3, 173) RA: We are humble messengers of the law of One. To us there are no
paradoxes. The workings which seem magical and therefore seem to interfere
upon free will do not, in themselves, do so, for each witness sees what it
desires to see. (B3, 173)
III. INTERFERENCE WITH FREE WILL OCCURS IF YOU CLAIM THE HEALING IS FROM YOU
RA: Interference with free will occurs in magical healing only if the entity
doing the working takes credit for the healing itself and claims it is due
to its own skills. He who states that no working comes from it, but only
through it, is not interfering with free will. (B3, 173)
13. THE MYSTERY OF INFINITY
I. GRASP INFINITY THROUGH MYSTERY
RA: The mystery and unknown quality of the occurrences we are allowed to
offer have the hoped for intention of thinking your peoples grasp infinity,
and then and only then, can the gateway be opened to the Law of One. (B1,
99)
RA: The entity which reaches intelligent infinity most often will perceive
this experience as one of unspeakable profundity. It is not unusual for the
entity to immediately desire the cessation of the incarnation.
However, the desire to communicate or use this experience to aid others is
extremely strong (B2, 51)
II. CLOUDED IN MYSTERY QUESTION: The concept of
intelligent infinity is that it expands outward
from all locations everywhere. It expands outward uniformly from every point
everywhere at the velocity of light. Is this correct?
RA: This concept is incorrect as is any concept of
intelligent infinity. Yet
the concept is correct in the context of one particular Logos, or Love, or
focus of this Creator. The one undifferentiated intelligent infinity,
unpolarized, full and whole, is the macrocosm of the mystery-clad being.
(B2, 10-11)
[Note: Dr. Elkins’ question is building off of the physics concepts of
Dewey
Larson. Ra’s answer implies that the physics laws in this particular galaxy
may not be the same as in other galaxies, since the galaxy/Logos itself
creates the framework for the Octave of densities in its own unique way.]
