8:02am – Up grudgingly after a few snoozes, but after morning adoration and coffee preparation I’m glad to be up. Stomach rumbling a bit from a late dinner of pizza and ice cream (with the last of the hot fudge). After evening study group I ate, watched Lincoln, and then willed myself to perform an evening session: LBRP, 30 minutes of meditation, midnight adoration, and to bed.
Stewing with imaginary conversations with Dad, who I spoke to briefly yesterday and promised I’d call today (being my solar return). On the matter of the solar return, I also realize I have very few friends. I think I’ll hear from M.A. And ugh, maybe Facebook will out me and I’ll get greetings from people that aren’t in my life.
8:23am – Continuing to read from LoO 72. These lines strike me:
72.8 Questioner: The negatively oriented entities… have obviously been limited by the banishing ritual just performed. Could you describe, with respect to free will… how the banishing ritual itself works?
Ra: I am Ra. …The use of the light forms being generated is such as to cause such entities to discover a wall through which they can not pass. This is due to the energy complexes of the light beings and aspects of the One Infinite Creator invoked and evoked in the building of the wall of light.
The LBRP as both invocation and evocation, a “building of the wall of light.”
72.10Ra: …that great conduit to the Creator, the will… the deepest desires and will of the mind/body/spirit complex. In this entity these desires are for service to the Creator.
Will as the “great conduit”to the Creator. Reaching, deep desire, determination, direction of energy, focus.
72.11 Questioner: You mentioned that the large amount of light is available. Could I by, or this group by, proper ritual, use this for recharging the vital energy of the instrument?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. However, we caution against any working which raises up any personality; rather it is well to be fastidious in your working.
72.12 Questioner: Could you explain what you mean by “raises up any personality?”
Ra: I am Ra. Clues, we may offer. Explanation is infringement. We can only ask that you realize that all are One.
So recharging of vital energy is possible. But to do so (or probably to do anything magically) from an egoic standpoint would likely be to polarize toward the negative.
72.13 Questioner: We have included “Shin” in the banishing ritual, “Yod Heh Vau Heh” to make it “Yod Heh Shin Vau Heh.” Is this helpful?
Ra: I am Ra. This is helpful especially to the instrument whose distortions vibrate greatly in congruency with this sound vibration complex.
An example of “tweaking” a ritual to be more in line with the vibration of the humans doing the working.
72.14 Questioner: We will in the future have group meditations as our Sunday night meditations. I am concerned in… protection for the instrument if she is once more a channel in these. Is there an optimum time or limiting amount of time for the banishing ritual to be effective, or if we continually, daily, purify the place of working that we use for the Sunday night meditation with the banishing ritual would this carry over for long periods of time, or must the ritual be done immediately prior to the meditations?
Ra: I am Ra. Your former assumption is more nearly correct.
The staying power of continual, daily purification. I had wondered yesterday at how long the light beings “stay around” after a pentagram ritual. I get the sense that evoking an archangel is not like evoking a spirit that is called and then “dismissed”. I wonder if it’s more a matter of creating channels to deeper dimensions, the Briatic level? Perhaps in a way the archangels are omnipresent aspects of the One, and when they are “evoked”, it’s as if portals into deeper, higher dimensions are being opened (perhaps via the light form of the pentagram?) and the Briatic energy “pours” through, or radiates into the plane of Assiah (via Yetzirah?). If the light forms are Yetziratic structures, then perhaps it is the energy of the magician — produced by focus of mind, visualization, vibration, etc — which formulates them, and thus at first they begin to dissolve when the attention is removed from them, but over time they are “engraved” in the space?
72.17 Questioner: Why is there no protection at the floor or bottom of the banishing ritual, and should there be?
Ra: I am Ra… The development of the psychic greeting is possible only through the energy centers starting from a station which you might call within the violet ray moving through the adept’s energy center and therefrom towards the target of opportunity. Depending upon the vibratory nature and purpose of greeting, be it positive or negative, the entity will be energized or blocked in the desired way.
We of Ra approach this instrument in narrow-band contact through violet ray. Others might pierce down through this ray to any energy center. We, for instance, make great use of this instrument’s blue-ray energy center as we are attempting to communicate our distortion/understandings of the Law of One.
The entity of Orion pierces the same violet ray and moves to two places to attempt most of its non-physical opportunities. It activates the green-ray energy center while further blocking indigo-ray energy center. This combination causes confusion in the instrument and subsequent over-activity in unwise proportions in physical complex workings. It simply seeks out the distortions pre-incarnatively programmed and developed in incarnative state.
The energies of life itself, being the One Infinite Creator, flow from the south pole of the body seen in its magnetic form. Thus only the Creator may, through the feet, enter the energy shell of the body to any effect. The effects of the adept are those from the upper direction and thus the building of the wall of light is quite propitious.
I note how the negative entity simply amplifies what’s already there: pre-programmed distortions, developed in the incarnative state. I am aware of some of these in my own case, and this passage seems to imply the wisdom of becoming aware of those and balancing them in love, lest they become weaknesses which are exploited.
Also, a reminder to draw the energy down through the crown (reaching up, as in Atu I), as in the QC. I assume the upward flowing energy will occur naturally as is appropriate.
9:39am – LBRP, MP, 15 minute meditation (abbreviated because of the late hour). Birthday text from G.K.!
