THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY

RA

RA is the name adopted by a sixth-density social memory complex that made contact with three researchers — Don Elkins, Carla Rueckert, and Jim McCarty of L/L Research — through 106 channeled sessions conducted between 1981 and 1984, later published as The Law of One (also known as The Ra Material). Ra states it evolved on Venus billions of years ago and describes two historical contact attempts with ancient Egypt, the first of which led to Ra being worshipped as a golden-skinned deity — a development Ra says was unintended and unwelcome.

Name: Ra

AKA: The Law of One; The Ra Material. Ra states its name was drawn from its own vibrational identity and that ancient Egyptians independently associated that identity with the name “Ra.”

Location – Home System: Venus.

Distance from Earth: Undocumented in the source material.

Attitude: Compassionate, oriented toward what the material calls “service to others.”

Motives: To teach the Law of One — the principle that all beings and all of creation are a single, unified consciousness.

Physical Appearance: Tall, slender, with a golden luster to the skin. Described in the source only during the entity’s physical, third-density visits to Egypt.

Average Height: Undocumented.
Average Weight: Undocumented.
Body Temperature: Undocumented.
Pulse/Respiration: Undocumented.
Blood Pressure: Undocumented.
Life Expectancy: Undocumented.
Hair: Undocumented.
Skin: Golden luster.
Eyes: Undocumented.
Sex: Undocumented.

Other Physical Information: Undocumented beyond the golden-skinned description above.

Special Traits and Abilities: Ra describes building the Great Pyramid through thought — engaging the innate intelligence of stone rather than using physical labor or tools — as an aid to healing and initiation.

Communication Type: Full trance channeling, distinguished in the source from ordinary conscious channeling.

Origin: Venus, described as a habitable, Earth-like world during an earlier “third density” phase billions of years ago.

Life Form Type: Sixth-density social memory complex.

Subspecies: Undocumented.

Most Common Species: Undocumented.

Level of Species: Undocumented. Ra describes a cosmology of seven densities of consciousness rather than any numbered species-ranking scale.

Habits: Undocumented beyond the teaching and pyramid-building activity described elsewhere in this entry.

Transportation Type: Undocumented. Ra states its interactions with third-density Egypt were conducted by thought rather than physical craft.

Witnesses Reports: Documented contact with Don Elkins, Carla Rueckert, and Jim McCarty of L/L Research, 1981–1984. Ra describes two historical contact attempts with ancient Egypt, roughly 1,000 years apart.

Special Features/Characteristics: Undocumented beyond the golden, luminous appearance described above.

Summary/Description: Ra is the name given by a sixth-density social memory complex that contacted Don Elkins, Carla Rueckert, and Jim McCarty across 106 sessions between 1981 and 1984, later published as The Law of One. Ra states it originated on Venus, describing the planet as having been a habitable, Earth-like world billions of years ago before its people evolved through successive densities of consciousness. Ra describes two attempts to contact ancient Egypt: an early one in which it appeared in a physical, golden-skinned form and was mistakenly worshipped as a deity, and a later one roughly a thousand years afterward in which it worked to prepare the population’s consciousness to receive the Law of One directly. Ra states the Great Pyramid was built through thought rather than physical construction, intended as a tool for healing and initiation before its purpose was corrupted by a ruling priesthood.

Related Cases: Undocumented beyond the L/L Research contact sessions described above.

Source: The Law of One (also published as The Ra Material) — Elkins, Rueckert, and McCarty; 106 channeled sessions, 1981–1984; L/L Research.

DETAILED REPORT

The Ra contact is among the more thoroughly documented channeled works in modern metaphysical literature — the sessions themselves were transcribed in full and remain publicly available. Ra describes itself as a “social memory complex,” a collective consciousness formed by a population that reached a sufficiently advanced, unified state of awareness the material calls the sixth density. Ra states this population evolved on Venus, which it describes as having been, billions of years ago, a lush and habitable world comparable in size and gravity to Earth.

Ra’s account of its first contact with Egypt describes a “clothed” appearance: because a sixth-density being would otherwise be imperceptible to third-density humans, Ra says it took on a physical, golden-skinned form to interact directly with the Egyptians of that era. This led to Ra being worshipped as a deity, which the source describes as an unintended and undesired outcome — Ra’s stated goal was to teach the Law of One, not to be venerated, and it withdrew from the contact once this became clear. Roughly a thousand years later, Ra returned and worked instead to prepare the population’s consciousness so that the Law of One could be received without inspiring worship of Ra itself; the source states this teaching was nonetheless later distorted by a priestly elite. The Great Pyramid, per the source, was built through thought-based interaction with stone rather than manual construction, and was intended as a healing and initiation structure rather than a tomb or royal monument.

The source also describes a broader cosmology of seven densities of consciousness and a long-cycle “harvest,” in which beings move to the next density according to their degree of spiritual polarization toward service to others or service to self. This concept is a genuine, recurring theme across the sessions, discussed in general and cyclical terms rather than tied to any specific present-day date.

RESEARCHER’S NOTES

Ra — A Named Channeled Contact and What the Transcripts Actually Say

Unusually citable source material: Unlike many entries in this archive, the primary source here is a specific, named, published body of transcripts — 106 sessions, three named researchers, dated 1981–1984 — which makes verifying any individual claim against the original text straightforward.
The Egypt narrative has two distinct phases: a first, unsuccessful physical contact that resulted in unwanted worship, and a second attempt roughly a thousand years later focused on teaching rather than appearing. Accounts that compress this into a single event miss the source’s own emphasis on Ra’s discomfort with being deified.
The name question is genuinely subtle: Ra states its identity is what ancient Egyptians came to call “Ra,” which is a stronger claim than a mere coincidental naming — but the source does not endorse the broader Egyptian mythology built up around that name afterward, only the initial identification.
Physical description in the source is sparse and consistent: tall, slender, golden-skinned — nothing more specific is given, and any figures for height, weight, or vital signs presented elsewhere should be treated as unsourced additions rather than material from the transcripts.
The “harvest” and density framework is real but general: the source discusses cyclical spiritual harvests as an ongoing cosmological principle; it does not tie this concept to any particular calendar year or to humanity’s present-day circumstances specifically.

Stripped of embellishment, the Ra contact remains a genuinely notable channeled record: three named researchers, over a hundred transcribed sessions, and a cosmology built around unity, densities of consciousness, and a historical relationship with ancient Egypt that Ra itself frames as having gone differently than intended. As with all channeled material, it should be read as testimony about a claimed contact rather than as verified history — while recognizing that the transcripts themselves are a real, citable, and unusually well-preserved primary source.

“I am Ra. The Law of One, though beyond the limitations of name, as you call vibratory sound complexes, may be approximated by stating that all things are one, that there is no polarity, no right or wrong, no disharmony, but only identity. All is one, and that one is love/light, light/love, the Infinite Creator.” — Ra, Session 4
