Richmond IONS Program Title:

“The Transition of Earth into the Fourth Density of Love and Understanding”

Our March 17, 2018 Richmond IONS meeting  will feature a talk by Jim McCarty, who along with Don Elkins and Carla L Rueckert comprised L/L Research and were involved in the Ra contact resulting in the five books of The Ra Material/Law of One series.

The Ra Material/Law of One series has been hailed by many as the most elegant and complete cosmology ever articulated. Jim will explain that, from information received from Ra, we are undergoing a transition, and that this transition is the last stage of three 25,000 year cycles in which the goal of humanity is to awaken the heart chakra and fully embody the consciousness of unconditional love towards all.

This transition will take us beyond the veil of forgetting and enable us to see and comprehend the total unity of all creation and to feel and fully experience the elements of free will, love and light of which all creation is made. Jim will explain the reasons why the Ra initiated contacts with his group, among which was to provide information about this transition into fourth density.

Jim also will share his insights and personal experiences regarding this transition. He will share with our group background information about L/L Research and the three people who comprised it and were involved in the Ra contact.

Don Elkins was the questioner; Carla L. Rueckert was the channel; and Jim was the scribe. Don and Carla began L/L Research in November of 1968. They researched the UFO phenomenon and the channeling process for over three decades and have since passed into larger life.

Jim continues to share the timeless information that they received from Ra in 106 channeled sessions over a three-year period from 1981 through 1983, and we are very grateful to have him as a guest speaker for our group. This is a not-to-be-missed program for all who can attend.

About Jim McCarty, Our Richmond IONS Presenter:

Jim McCarty was born on May 10, 1947, in Kearney, Nebraska. He graduated from the University of Nebraska at Kearney in 1970 with a Bachelor’s of Science Degree with majors in Business Administration and Sociology. In 1972 he graduated from the University of Florida with a Master’s Degree in Education.

In 1974 he moved to the backwoods of central Kentucky and formed the Rock Creek Survival School, where he taught a self-therapy technique called “Brain Self-Control.”

In December 1980 he joined L/L Research where Don Elkins and Carla L. Rueckert were researching the field of the paranormal in general and contact with extraterrestrial intelligence in particular.

Three weeks later the Ra contact began, which produced 106 sessions with the social memory complex of Ra, and
five books of The Law of One series were published, documenting this contact.

Don Elkins passed away in 1984, and Jim and Carla married and continued the work of L/L Research until Carla passed away in 2015. With the help of Gary Bean and Austin Bridges, Jim continues the work of L/L Research today. Downloads and other information are available at www.llresearch.org.

Richmond IONS Meeting January 21, 2017

Richmond Ions January MeetingFeaturing Edward F. Kelly, Ph.D.

Where: River Road Church – Baptist, 8000 River Road (NW corner of River and Ridge Roads)

When: Saturday, January 21, 2017, 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, followed by potluck lunch at conclusion of program.

Richmond IONS Program Title:

“Parapsychology in Context – Towards a Personal Reconciliation of Science and Spirit.”

Our 21st Anniversary Program, on January 21, 2017, will feature a talk by Edward F. Kelly, Ph.D., author of numerous scholarly works and Senior Professor of Research at the UVA Medical School’s Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS) in Charlottesville.

The so-called “mind-body” problem (whether mind begets body or body begets mind) has been the core dilemma of Western philosophical discourse for nearly 2,500 years, since the era of Plato and Aristotle.

Through the centuries the pendulum has swung in both directions, and the current drift of establishment science tilts the scales heavily towards a materialistic perspective, leaving little room for spirituality. The mission of IONS Founder, Dr. Edgar Mitchell, was to reconcile these seemingly divergent streams, and Dr. Edward Kelly’s career spanning nearly five decades has been similarly focused.

Ed will speak about his experiences and what he has learned during his 45 years of professional research in the parapsychology field, which started in experimental parapsychology with J.B. Rhine in Durham at Duke University in 1972, through his current role at UVA with a research group focused mainly on evidence for postmortem survival.

He will describe in personal terms what has emerged for him as the meaning of it all based on his experiences, and how his experiences have transformed him from something pretty close to conventional physicalism/scientific materialism in his early years towards a vision which puts consciousness at the heart of all, essentially inverting the mainstream conception of mind as secondary to matter. We are very pleased to welcome Ed as our 21st Anniversary guest speaker.

About Our Richmond Ions January Presenter:

Edward F. Kelly, Ph.D. is currently Professor of Research in the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia Medical School. He received his Ph.D. in psycholinguistics and cognitive science from Harvard in 1971, and spent the next 15-plus years working mainly in parapsychology, initially at J.B. Rhine’s Institute for Parapsychology, then for ten years through the Department of Electrical Engineering at Duke, and finally through a private research institute in Chapel Hill.

Between 1988 and 2002 he worked with a large neuroscience group at UNC-Chapel Hill, mainly carrying at EEG and fMRI studies of human somatosensory cortical adaptation to natural tactile stimuli. He returned full-time to psychical research in 2002, serving as lead author (with his wife, Emily Williams Kelly, Ph.D., as a co-author) of Irreducible Mind (Rowman & Littlefield, 2007) and Beyond Physicalism (Rowman & Littlefield, 2015).

He is now returning to his central long-term research interest – application of modern functional neuroimaging methods to intensive
psychophysiological studies of psi and ASCs in exceptional subjects (http:cedaracreekinst.org).
