# The Timeline of the Ra Cosmos *Canonical page: https://ra.contact/timeline* *Last updated: 2026-06-25* From the Logos to the harvest — the cosmic and Earth history Ra tells in fragments, reassembled into one through-line. Ra never tells its history in order. The story of the cosmos — and of Earth — arrives in fragments, scattered across a hundred sessions, prompted by whatever the questioner happened to ask. What follows reassembles those fragments into a single through-line. A warning Ra itself would insist on: the dates are *Ra's own*, often vague, sometimes self-corrected mid-sentence, and Ra repeatedly pleads its difficulty with our time/space. Read them as approximations, not a fixed record. ## Before time — the Logos and creation The first known thing in creation is infinity, and that infinity *is* creation (13.5). From infinity comes awareness, and awareness focuses infinity into infinite energy — the **Logos**, which Ra also calls intelligent infinity (13.7). The next step is still unfolding: free will, one of the Creator's primal distortions, lets countless dimensions pour out as a randomized creative force, making the universes (13.8). This is timeless ground, before any clock. ## The densities and the 75,000-year clock Within our local creation, governed by the **Council of Saturn**, planetary evolution runs as precisely as a clock striking the hour (9.4). A planet's third density is three major cycles of roughly twenty-five thousand years each; after about seventy-five to seventy-six thousand years all are harvested regardless of their progress (6.15). Every event below sits inside that clock. ## The destruction of Maldek Long before Earth's present cycle, a third-density planet *within our own solar system* — Maldek — destroyed itself. Its people gained technology without the care to wield it and, in a conflict each side believed righteous, escalated war to the furthest reach of their technology around 705,000 years ago, reducing the sphere to rubble (10.1). The traumatized survivors were left so bound in fear that the Confederation only freed them roughly 600,000 years ago (10.1). Many were later reincarnated on Earth — a number of them, Ra notes, within the planet rather than upon it (6.13). ## The Mars migration and the seeding of third density Earth's third-density humanity is an *immigrant* one. The first to arrive were brought from Mars, whose environment had become inhospitable to third-density life (9.6). These Martians were unharvested — they had not finished their own lessons (9.10). The transfer happened about 75,000 years ago (9.11), the start of Earth's present cycle. Roughly half the early population was Martian, a quarter rose from Earth's own second density, and a quarter came from elsewhere (20.20). Because the Mars people were moved prematurely and aided genetically, this was seen as an infringement upon free will, and the quarantine was intensified (21.8). (Ra elsewhere dates Yahweh's genetic work on the Mars people to the same 75,000-year mark — 18.20 — so migration and genetic aid blur together in its telling.) ## Lemuria / Mu The civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria were two, not one (10.15). Mu came first — a people primitive in form but spiritually advanced, drawn largely from a second-density planet of the galaxy **Deneb**, flourishing around 53,000 years ago. It was washed beneath the ocean through no fault of its own, and its survivors seeded the Americas; the native peoples there, Ra says, descend from them (10.15). Ra gives a contact with Mu around 58,000 years ago (14.4), slightly before the date it gives for Mu's flourishing — one of several gentle wobbles. ## Atlantis The Atlantean race was a conglomerate society that began to form around 31,000 years ago — agrarian and slow-growing until roughly 15,000 years ago, when it reached quickly into high technology, drawing on intelligent infinity and the indigo ray carelessly, even shaping life forms (10.15). ## Egypt and the pyramids Ra's own central intervention. About 11,000 years ago Ra came to two of Earth's cultures then closely in touch with the creation, attempting to teach and learn by direct contact (2.2). Egypt received Ra itself; others of Ra's density went at the same time to South America (1.5). The walk among the Egyptians failed: for every word Ra could utter, its very being gave thirty confusing impressions, so Ra removed itself (23.6). On a second approach Ra appeared in a brotherly form and offered the pyramids, built by thought-form for two purposes — initiation and healing (23.6, 2.2). The healing technology, Ra laments, was largely captured by those distorted toward power, which was never the intent of the Law of One (2.2). ## The quarantine and Yahweh The Guardians guard Earth's free-will distortion because earlier infringements had interfered with it (16.1). Into this came **Yahweh**, an entity of the Confederation but mistaken in its attempts to aid (18.23). Yahweh worked genetic changes on the Mars people around 75,000 years ago and, later, with the people called the Anak around 3,600 years ago — a figure Ra corrects on the fly (18.20). Then, about 3,600 years ago, an influx of the **Orion group** found fertile soil in Yahweh's chosen, set-apart people and planted the seeds of negativity: the elite, the different (24.6). The Orion group pinned the name *Yahweh* to that elitism; the original entity, now unnamed, began sending a positive philosophy around 3,300 years ago — and so the intense portion of what has been called Armageddon was joined (24.6). ## The present cycle and the calling Earth's first **calling** for help — around 46,000 years ago — came not from the Mars people but from those of Maldek, confused incarnate souls aware of their need to make amends for their past (21.16). The present moment is the close of the 75,000-year cycle. The sphere has entered a fourth-density vibration, but its transition is hard: many will repeat the third-density cycle, for there are few ready to be harvested (13.23, 13.22). ## The harvest to come The cycle ends in our near future. Asked whether harvest comes in the year 2011, Ra answers that it is an approximation — an appropriate probable nexus — and that it includes those not now in incarnation (17.29). Harvest is not a judgment but a sorting by vibration; the work of wanderers, teachers, and adepts now is all bent on increasing it (13.23). ## In Ra's words The ground of everything — infinity as creation itself: > The first known thing in the creation is infinity. The infinity is creation. > > — [13.5.2-3](https://ra.contact/sessions/13#13.5) Earth's immigrant humanity, brought from a dying Mars: > The first of those to come here were brought from another planet in your solar system called by you the Red Planet, Mars. This planet’s environment became inhospitable to third-density beings. > > — [9.6.3-4](https://ra.contact/sessions/9#9.6) The cycle's close, and the work of those who would increase the harvest: > Thus, the harvest shall be such that many will repeat the third-density cycle. The energies of your wanderers, your teachers, and your adepts at this time are all bent upon increasing the harvest. However, there are few to harvest. > > — [13.23.8-10](https://ra.contact/sessions/13#13.23) --- Source: *The Ra Contact: Teaching the Law of One* — Don Elkins, Carla Rueckert, Jim McCarty, published by L/L Research (https://www.llresearch.org/).
