UFO watchers are convinced the world is closer than ever to official disclosure of alien contact, thanks to unprecedented acknowledgement from the U.S. military that something spooky is going on. But according to a growing group of Redditors, we’ve made extraterrestrial contact already, way back in the 1980s during a series of “trance channeling” sessions in Louisville, Kentucky.
According to these true believers, the five-part transcripts of these sessions establish a unifying theory known as the “Law of One,” which supposedly holds the answers to everything from the origins of Bigfoot, to what became of Atlantis, and how to survive an upcoming mass harvest of souls.
First published in 1981, these once-obscure texts are collectively called the “Ra Material,” and they’ve sparked a recent resurgence of interest online. Over the course of the pandemic, the R/LawOfOne subreddit soared from roughly 300 to over 10,000 members, who discuss the intricacies of these texts. For many, the Ra Material serves as a bedrock for their own moral frameworks, inspiring debate topics such as “What’s your opinion of Elon Musk in the Law Of One context?” (Answer: selfish but ultimately "a tool of the greater good”) and “What does the Law of One say about limb regeneration?” (A: it’s complicated.)
