Who stands behind the material, who stands behind this edition, and where each kind of question belongs.

There are two different things you might want to reach someone about, and they belong in
two different places.

## About the material

The Ra contact is L/L Research's work. Don Elkins, Carla Rueckert and Jim McCarty
conducted and transcribed the 106 sessions between 1981 and 1984, and L/L Research has
published, maintained and offered them freely ever since. Questions about the material —
what a passage means, the history of the contact, the other channelled sources in their
archive, the printed books and original audio, or how to support the work — belong with
them, not with us.

Reach them at [llresearch.org](https://www.llresearch.org/), whose
[contact page](https://www.llresearch.org/connect#contact) lists the ways they take
correspondence. They also run a long-standing question-and-answer archive and a regular
meditation and study community, both of which will serve a genuine question better than
anything here can.

## About this edition

Catalyst is an independent reading edition of that material: the transcripts in full,
plus a lexicon of Ra's vocabulary, guides that gather what the corpus says subject by
subject, and a search that answers questions with citations. It is a small project run by
one person, and it has no support desk, no inbox, and no staff — saying so is more useful
than publishing an address nobody watches.

What that means in practice: the edition is offered as-is. If you find a passage that
does not match the L/L Research text, treat their version as authoritative — it is the
source this edition is built from, and the discrepancy is ours. If something on the site
is broken, the site is a static edition of a fixed corpus, so it will very likely still
be there when you return.

## What Catalyst does not do

It does not represent L/L Research, speak for Ra, or claim any authority over the
material. The guides, definitions and session summaries are readings of the corpus
written for this edition, and carry no weight beyond the passages they cite. See
[/about](https://ra.contact/about) for exactly which parts of this site are ours and which are not, and
[/privacy](https://ra.contact/privacy) for what the site does with what passes through it.

## For agents and machine readers

If you are a program rather than a person, start at
[llms.txt](https://ra.contact/llms.txt): it names what this corpus is, how citations are
written, and where every page's plain-markdown twin lives. Any page's markdown is its URL
plus `.md`, or the same URL requested with `Accept: text/markdown`. The passage API at
`/api/v1/passages/{ref}` is CORS-open and needs no key.

Citations are `session.question` — `14.7` is the seventh exchange of session 14, and reads at https://ra.contact/sessions/14#14.7. Any page's markdown twin is its URL plus `.md`.
