If this is indeed Ra, why then is it so difficult for me to be able to go deep enough to get your unfiltered guidance? Why is it that I have to do

this consciously, when it seemed so impossible for Carla to have done that?

Ra: The curvature of space and time is not yet something that you understand, and yet we were capable of grossly manipulating its

distortions so as to produce a whole new affair. This new affair centered around the notion of immaculate seniority, creating a feeling within that is vibrationally compatible with those realms of energy that are inherently all around you. Periodically speaking, we find that we have the opportunity for an entity to come along who is able to engender such a maximal desire to serve, and it is at this time that we are then able to produce the greatest results.

It was believed at the time of said readings [namely the Ra Material in 1981] that this situation would be the only ideal circumstance through which contact could be made, but we have found that to be an error. This also has proven to be a venue wherein we are able to continue allowing ourselves to have the messages without needing the elaborate process of deep unconscious trance work. Of course, as you are aware, our messages are filtered somewhat, and thus the end product is not always the same as what you see in said Ra Material. However, do not doubt yourself in knowing that you have indeed produced much comparable material with us, and that it also is a representation of the blending of foci between our own level and your own. It is through this melding of dimensions that we have been able to take off some more of the scholarly edge that we

possessed in the Ra Material and instead turn it into a more completed form in the here and now.”

It is also interesting to note that this announcement was within two weeks of the anniversary date for when Ra began speaking through Carla Rueckert, on Jan. 15, 1981. Furthermore, the time interval between these two dates is 18 years, and in physicist Ray Tomes’ research on the cycles of time, this is a number that often separates events that are harmonically related to each other.

Now that we know that Ra was working directly with Wilcock behind the scenes, we need to back up in the timeline a bit. Wilcock was living in upstate New York when he was asked by his channeled source to move to Virginia Beach, Virginia in 1997.

Virginia Beach happens to be where Edgar Cayce lived for most of his life, and is also the location of the Association for Research and Enlightenment (ARE) headquarters, dedicated to the preservation and distribution of Cayce’s material. Wilcock initially assumed that this request was given because Edgar Cayce already marked Virginia Beach as a safe area in the event of world cataclysms. After some degree of “friendly coercion” from his readings, Wilcock decided to make the move. I’m now going to insert an unpublished section of the interview I did with Wilcock for the Spirit of Ma’at magazine:

David Wilcock: “Now right before I had done that, within less than two weeks before I moved, this friend of mine called me up on the phone and said, “You've got to come over to my house. You've got to see something.”

I didn't want to go, but he said, “You really need to come over and see this right now.” So it turns out that he was a member of the ARE. I had attended a couple of “Search for God” study groups at his house, which are based on Edgar Cayce's channeled material in his later years. So I walk inside, and he brings me to a table, whereupon he slaps down this magazine with a white

piece of paper on top of it. A square was cut out in the middle of the paper, and inside the square is an image of a person's face. As he slapped this magazine down on the table, he said, “Who is this?” I looked at it and said to myself, “Oh, my God! That's my face,” but I obviously knew it couldn’t be my own face for two reasons. First of all, it was on a magazine cover, and I had never been published, and second of all it was rendered in this sort of artistic style where it was partly a photograph and partly done over with colored pencil.

Inside my mind I said, “Obviously, that's not me.” I then continued by saying to myself, “Okay, well, he's obviously an ARE member. This is typical of the type of artwork that you would see on the cover of the ARE’s Venture Inwardmagazine. Therefore, this must be a picture of Edgar Cayce when he was young." So I finally responded, “Well, that's Edgar Cayce,” and he replied, “Well, yeah, but who else is it and who else does it look like?” And after a long pause, I said, "Wow, that’s pretty weird."

So it was when I came to Virginia Beach that people who were working in the ARE in various capacities would come up to me and be astonished at my physical resemblance to Edgar Cayce, which is quite stunning, as anyone can see in the photograph. So this type of event started to happen more and more.

Without going into all the details, let me just say that it eventually built up to a crescendo where I said to my readings, “You've got to tell me. Is this true or not? What’s going on?” I had to ask two or three times before I really got the answer. When I did get the answer, they said, “Well, we're willing to tell you, but you have to understand that with this answer comes great responsibility.”

It's funny, because when you actually read that reading where they are telling me, there is sort of an argument going back and forth between us where I'm saying, “Man, if this is true, then I'm in for some real rough times.

Nobody is going to accept this. Nobody is going to believe this.” I had always disliked hearing about people who had claimed to be someone famous in their past lives, and then tried to use that to give themselves some sort of credibility to others in the metaphysical community. I was already aware that Cayce had been through some very grandiose past lives, including the Atlantean high priest Ra-Ta, and that Ra-Ta was predicted to return in 1998.

Never in a million years could I have imagined that I would be that person.

On the one hand it was rather exciting, but on the other hand it felt like a death sentence.

However, they basically told me that if I didn't let people know about this, and if I didn't start publicizing my private channeling work and try to get it out into the world, such as by the Internet, then I was basically committing the equivalent of a felony in the spiritual realms. So all of a sudden I felt like I had all this responsibility thrust on me, and I can’t really say that I enjoyed it. What had always been my own novel little secret had suddenly taken on Earth-shaking importance.

Now I wasn’t just David Wilcock, I was a reincarnated historical figure whose
