Carla L. Rueckert (McCarty) was born in 1943 in Lake Forest, Illinois. She completed undergraduate studies in English Literature at the University of Louisville in 1966, and earned her master’s degree studies in Library Service in 1971. She served as librarian and bibliographer to college and school libraries for six years.
Carla was a meditator with the group Don Elkins started in early 1962, and became partners with Don in in 1968. In 1970, she turned full-time to assisting Don with his research and together they formed L/L Research. She read and abstracted books and periodicals, and did correspondence and writing for Don.
In 1974, she began channeling and continued unceasingly in that effort until she was stopped in 2011 by a spinal fusion surgery. During four of those thirty-seven years of channeling (1981 – 1984) Carla served as the instrument for the Ra Contact. In 1987, she married Jim McCarty and together they continued the mission of L/L Research with Carla at its helm. Carla passed into larger life on April 1, 2015.

Jim McCarty was born on May 10, 1947 in Kearney, Nebraska. After receiving a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from the University of Nebraska at Kearney and a Masters of Education from the University of Florida, Jim moved to a piece of wilderness in Marion County, Kentucky, in 1974 to build his own log cabin in the woods, and to develop a self-sufficient lifestyle.
There he founded the Rock Creek Research and Development Laboratories in 1977 to further his teaching of the “Brain In Nature Course” that he learned in Colorado in 1972. After meeting Don Elkins and Carla Rueckert in 1979, he joined his research with them in December of 1980. The Ra contact began three weeks later.
Jim and Carla were married in 1987. Jim continues making daily entries to the Camelot Journal, a blog that Carla began in 2005. He is currently writing Living the Law of One 102: The Outer Work and will soon begiLiving the Law of One 103: The Inner Work in 2022, both from Carla’s outlines. He also creates wonderful flower gardens and stonework. He enjoys beauty, nature, dance, and meditation.

Don Elkins was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1930. He held a BS and MS in mechanical engineering from the University of Louisville, as well as an MS in general engineering from Speed Scientific School. He was the founder and head of the University of Alaska’s mechanical engineering department in 1960-61, and was Professor of Physics and Engineering at the University of Louisville for twelve years from 1953-1965. In 1965 he left his position as tenured professor and became a Boeing 727 pilot for a major airline in order to devote himself more fully to UFO and paranormal research. He eventually became Captain and flew until his death in 1984. He also served with distinction in the U.S. Army as a Master Sergeant during the Korean War.
Before the organization was so named, Don began the work of L/L Research solo in 1955. Among his areas of focus, he used age-regression hypnosis to research reincarnation, talked with and visited UFO contactees all over the United States, often piloting his own small plane, investigated the many areas of paranormal study, and corresponded with and visited a wide variety of scholars, researchers, experiencers, abductees, and many others defying categorization throughout his very active career as a researcher. Don, along with his partner, Carla, published some of that UFO research in the book Secrets Of The UFO in 1976.
In 1962, Don began an experiment in channeling using the protocols he had learned from a contactee group in Detroit, Michigan. That experiment blossomed into what became the principal effort of L/L Research: to collect and share information for the spiritual advancement of all humankind. His experiment, as it were, continues in an unbroken line today through our weekly meditations at L/L Research.
The Law Of One material represents the crowning achievement of Don’s life and work, along with his other two research associates, Carla L. Rueckert and Jim McCarty.

Massively Important Law of One Update 10-15-16 Down Below
I said I would come back and rewrite my review if I felt I had been duped by the Ra Collective. I am rewriting my review. It took me a while to connect the dots, but I did find massive errors in their teaching. Either the Ra Collective is the dark side in disguise, or they are not as intelligent as they would have us believe.
Read these books with caution and connect your own dots!
Years ago, when I first found this material, I dismissed it because the Ra Collective said we had free will. I wouldn’t read it back then because I don’t believe we have free will—at all! We are individuals who have forced, controlled, limited, restricted choice. Free choice is an illusion. You don’t even get to choose. The forward motion of time forces you to choose. And what happens, or does not happen, with your next time-induced, restricted choice forces your next choice. If you lack the ability, knowledge, technology, or if you don’t have to power to control time and instantly manifest, then you are controlled by some other process, law, being, or system. There is no free will, just control.
I was, and still am, under attack by the evil aliens, evil world governments, and our sadistic militaries. The Ra Collective talked about the Orion/Reptilian group and their evil agenda, so I came back to see if the rest of their information had any truth to it. Except for their version of free will, I tried my best to keep an open mind toward the rest of the information. Actually, I gobbled it up. I read all five books multiple times. I thought I had found more answers to how and why things work the way they do. I was wrong.
The Ra Collective says that the third dimension is a free will dimension—meaning that you have to ask permission of others before you can do things to them, and you get to choose polarities. According to the Ra Collective, this is the main law for everything. This is also a load of you-know-what. For thousands of years on this planet, as soon as you are born, you are labeled and claimed by the current government, king, queen, or ruling power of that territory. No government official of any kind asks you if you want to live under the current laws, you are brainwashed and forced to live under their laws—or be killed for treason. On top of this, you are threatened, coerced, punished, tortured, imprisoned, enslaved, or banished if you don’t abide by the rules—especially in the United States. Democracy and free will are a joke—money and greed have always ruled the lands on this Earth since humans and aliens first existed here. Nobody with money, guns, or better technology is asking for your permission!
Either the Ra Collective is a complete idiot in this regard, or they are the dark side giving misinformation. I say this because this is not a free will planet or dimension. We are on a slave planet ruled by the Reptilians, Mantids, Greys, and their human cabalistic Masonic, Illuminati puppets. In the U.S., you are forced to give away your power and right to rule yourself by voting for someone else who will tell you how you can live, what is lawful, and what is or isn’t morally acceptable. And, it has been this way for centuries—which includes the time when the Ra Collective was supposedly here. There was a pyramid structure of power then, and there is a pyramid structure of power now.
Speaking of pyramids, the Ra Collective said that they built the pyramids (Law of One 2.4 and 3.12). There are literally hundreds of ideas and theories about who actually built the pyramids. I found it interesting that two of the world’s prominent remote viewers came up with information that the evil Mantids or evil Reptilians built the pyramids with genetically engineered slaves. Also, the Ra Collective never described exactly what they looked like and said they had to shapeshift in order to be accepted by humans. I won’t put my stock in the remote viewer’s information as factual, but is it possible that the Ra Collective is actually Mantids or Reptilians?
Let’s go one more step in the misleading information, or the complete idiocy of the Ra Collective. In 35.8 of the Law of One Books, the Ra Collective talks about Abraham Lincoln in a positive way. However, Abraham Lincoln was part of the evil agenda. Abraham Lincoln had no wish or desire to free the slaves. One of the main reasons that the South went to war with the North was over the proposed 40% tax rate, not slavery. (See Morrill Tariff Act of 1861.) If it’s true, Abraham Lincoln said, “I can’t let them (the South) go. Who would pay for the government?”
Lincoln’s concern was to keep the Union together at all costs—not freeing the slaves. (Read Lincoln’s letter to Horace Greeley, August 22nd, 1862.) The Union was about enslaving ALL OF THE PEOPLE with taxes and laws created by the rich. (This was the dark Reptilian agenda of the time.) Lincoln had no wish to give freedom to the people, and he only signed the Emancipation Proclamation in the hopes that the southern slaves would rise up and riot against the South so the southern armies would go back home and protect their land and families. As we already know in the U.S., this didn’t happen, and the Union enslaved the population anyway—not just the innocent African slaves. (By the way, thirteen U.S. Presidents owned slaves. Eight U.S. Presidents owned slaves while they were in office. How much more proof do you need that we are controlled by the dark side? We went from racial and sexual slavery to financial slavery.)
The Ra Collective said that Abraham Lincoln was a walk-in. What kind of walk-in soul would enslave all of the people and force them to live under laws created by the rich? The only walk-in that would do this would be a dark, evil soul, not a loving soul. Furthermore, an advanced walk-in soul would have followed the supposed law of free will and asked permission of the people for everything. This walk-in soul, through Lincoln, never asked the people what they wanted. This walk-in forced the people—North and South—to live by laws created by Lincoln and the rich. That is not the same free will that the Ra Collective talks about. This is extremely suspicious.
This is only one of many examples that I’ve found. And I could go on for days about my distrust toward the Ra Collective and their conflicting information, but let’s do one more. The Ra Collective would have you believe that love accepts pain, torture, enslavement, and mind control without standing up for yourself. According to them, this is 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th positive polarity dimensional thinking. Well, this is exactly what the Reptilians, Greys, Mantids, and the corrupt, greedy, cabalistic government system wants. They don’t want you to stand up for yourself. They want you to be compliant slaves and tortured worker bees. The deceitful rich people say, “Nobody is standing up to us, so we are going to keep doing what we want and enslave everyone in the world for our benefit.” If you follow the Ra Collective’s belief system, then you will become enslaved by the New World Order. This is highly questionable logic and a flawed philosophy. We are already living on a negative polarity planet—as described by the Ra Collective—so there is no choosing a polarity at this point. The majority of human slaves has already accepted its role as compliant sheep and is not standing up to the New World Order. (I’m not accepting their rule, but I can’t do it alone.)
I can’t tell you for a fact that the Ra Collective is evil, but I can tell you that I don’t trust them 100%, either.
p.s. If free will means that we have individuality, I would agree with this concept. Anything else said about free will by the Ra Collective is incorrect, deception, or a lie.
Massively Important Law of One Update 10-15-16
Do not trust the Ra Collective!!! I am giving this additional update in the hopes that it will help others who have been deceived by this alien group. These aliens sound all helpful and loving, but they are deception in disguise.
In 72.17, this question is asked: “Why is there no protection at the floor or bottom of the banishing ritual, and should there be?”
The Ra Collective gives this answer: “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.”
This is completely misleading, false, or deceptive information—and I say this with full knowledge and experience. I have been under attack from Reptilians, Djinn, evil aliens, black magicians, and the secret government who uses electronic torture. I get hammered by them everyday. They attack from above, below, and all sides, not just through the top of the head. If you follow the advice of the Ra Collective, you leave yourself vulnerable.
Here is the major Reptilian deception. The Ra Collective—who I believe might be Reptilians or Mantids—say that God, the energies of life, enters only through the feet. This is wrong. Reptilians and magicians enter through the feet. I know this from being attacked by these entities through the ground. When I shield down below, it helps to stop them.
Now here is the worst part. If you follow the Ra Collective and allow God to come in through the feet, then you open the door to the Reptilians and black magicians to enter that way, too. They were the ones who gave this false information so they could attack you. And, if there is a God, do you think that God, or the energy of life, would be limited to only coming in through the feet? Seriously?
On top of my experience, there is also another source of information that states Reptilians come up through the victim’s feet. They can enter through the floor, underneath the person, or from below the Earth. If you do not protect from below and above, you will be attacked by them from these directions. My experience proves this. Also, if you do magic and use the Lesser Banishing Ritual, like the Ra Collective tells you, you are opening yourself up to being controlled by the dark side. Supposedly, the Reptilians created this type of magic, so using their Lesser Banishing Ritual would leave you open to their attacks.
Do not trust the Ra Collective!!!
From the original review:
First off, this is the only channeled material that I have read—and I’ve read a lot—where the channeled entity says that they are not infallible. I respect an entity that welcomes and encourages the people receiving the messages to point out mistakes. Even more respectable is when the channeled entity agrees that mistakes can and have been made. And when mistakes were pointed out to the Ra collective, the Ra collective made all attempts to fix any errors in their message. They didn’t blame the humans for being close-minded, wrong, or label them as young souls.
The second reason I like this material more than any other channeled material is that (the late) Carla Rueckert constantly challenged the Ra collective and Q’uo collective to ensure that the information was coming from a being of positive polarity and not from a negative polarity being posing as the Ra collective. No other channeled material I have read does this.
Too many new agers believe channeled information comes only from beings of pure intent. New agers usually fail to realize that there can be mistakes in transmission, mistakes by the receiver, mistakes by the sender, or that the transmission can come from negative polarity beings posing as positive polarity beings. There could also be mistakes in the entire belief system being shared by the channeled entity. What’s worse is when new agers consider the information as gospel without question or thought. In the Law of One series, the Ra collective states numerous times that they are only messengers of the Law of One and that they are only sharing opinions based on their experience of Creation. I commend the Ra collective for being great role models and respectable dimensional teachers.
Is it possible that I have been duped by the Ra collective? Is it possible that I have been misled by their message and material? I question everything before I even consider it as truth—and even then I still question it. I can tell you from personal experience with the secret government, reptilians, other Orion aliens, the MKUltra mind-control program, and negative 4th and 5th dimensional beings, though, that what the Ra collective is saying is mostly true. (If I find out that I was duped, I will come back and rewrite this review.)
Another selling point is the scientific approach that Don Elkins, Jim McCarty, and Carla Rueckert took while running these sessions. Using multiple tape recorders, a questioner, a secretary, a channeler, and a scientific motive to gather information about the UFO phenomenon—as opposed to a woo-woo new age channel approach that never considers the dark side exists—was a huge seller for me.
I am glad that I read this material, and I will read it again and again. Every time I do, I discover new and enlightening pieces of useful information. I highly recommend the five-book Law of One Series and other material by Don Elkins, Jim McCarty, and Carla Rueckert.
What I appreciate most about this book is its spiritual and metaphysical insights. The material covers a wide range of topics, from the nature of reality and the purpose of life to the evolution of consciousness and the workings of the universe. The material is complex and dense, but it's presented in a clear and accessible way that makes it easy for readers to follow along.
Another thing that I appreciate about The Ra Material is the way it challenges conventional wisdom and encourages readers to think outside the box. The material is based on a unique perspective that is not found in mainstream sources, and it offers a refreshing and thought-provoking alternative to the usual narratives.
Overall, I would highly recommend The Ra Material: An Ancient Astronaut Speaks to anyone interested in spirituality, metaphysics, and the mysteries of the universe. It's a fascinating and mind-expanding book that will challenge your beliefs and leave you with a deeper understanding of the nature of reality.
