Where this sits in the contact
The greeting
Who Ra is, Venus, Egypt, the pyramid as a focusing shape — lore that is useful only if it does not become a treating tools as a religion.
This is the door. Opens into session 2 (Ra's history).
In plain words
In this sitting
- The Law is a report: all things are one original Thought. You do not join it. You stop pretending you are outside it.
- The contact has rules: Don asks, Carla is the instrument, distortion will occur, free will is not to be violated.
- Unity is the metaphysics. Kindness is the proof. Lore without that proof is collecting.
How this sitting is misread
Treating Ra as a new authority to obey, instead of a reminder of what you already are.
Deeper meaning
Ra greets in love and light of the One Infinite Creator and names the contact’s rules: Don asks, Carla is the instrument, distortion will occur. Free will is not to be violated. The Law of One is not a club. It is a fact: you, they, the room, the star — one being, seeming many. The Course’s introduction is the same door: nothing real can be threatened; nothing unreal exists. If you only remember session 1, remember: unity is the metaphysics; kindness is the proof.
Practice
Today, look at one person you were about to rank, and know: same original Thought.
Ra greets in love and light and states the Law of One: all is one original thought. The contact's conditions are set — Don questions, Carla is the instrument, distortion will occur and should be expected. This session is the door. ACIM's introduction is the same door in another house: you are not what you think, and love is not a theory.
Course
The introduction and Lesson 127: there is no love but God’s. Unity first. Technique later.

If this session made you a collector of contacts, you missed it. It made you kinder, or it did not land.

She offered her body so a sentence could be said: all is one. Read it. Then stop protecting the specialness of having read it.

Read the transcript at lawofone.info/s/1. A numbered question is written 1.20 — type that in Study tools or Jump. These notes are not a reprint. Open the session. Then mark it studied and do the next ordinary kindness. That is the whole method.
