Who or what is RAM?

A Name for the Work

RAM is the working name given to the group and its purpose: to extol, raise up, and rejoice in the exaltation of God. It was later clarified that RAM refers not to the Source itself, but to the results of the readings.

Who or what was the source for the RAM material?

Who was the channel?

The Messenger

The channel was Roger Braden of Tucson—an ex-marine, elementary school teacher, and artist. He discovered his gift in 1967, began channeling the RAM readings in 1973, and continued individual readings for many years after the work readings ended in 1987.

What is the platform and how is it to be built?

The Inner Foundation

The platform is the first phase of the Second Coming: the resurrection of mind, body, and spirit through prayer, meditation, thought, and deed. When enough people accomplish this inner work, a platform is formed for the return of the Lamb.

How can the platform be built?

The Path to Preparation

The platform is built through cleansing, prayer, meditation, grace, and inner peace. The readings say it must become a platform of peace within individuals and groups, as preparation for His coming again.

What is meant by the “Second Coming”?

An Inner Event

The Second Coming is not an outer spectacle but an inner realization—the awakening and resurrection of the Christ consciousness within individuals, forming the foundation for its expression in the world.

What does “Sonship” mean?

The Divine Identity

Sonship is the recognition of one’s true identity as a child of God—an heir to the divine nature—realized through alignment, obedience, and conscious awareness of the Father within.

What is the role of the individual in this work?

Your Part in the Plan

Each individual is responsible for their own preparation—cleansing, aligning, and awakening—contributing to the greater work by embodying truth and living in harmony with the divine will.

What is attunement?

Alignment with Source

Attunement is the conscious alignment of mind, body, and spirit with the divine presence, allowing guidance, clarity, and right action to flow naturally.

Why is preparation emphasized?

Making Ready

Preparation is essential to receive and express higher truth. Through inner work—prayer, meditation, and right living—one becomes a vessel capable of supporting the coming awareness.
Read More

How is the “platform” truly built?

Peace as the Foundation

The platform is built within—through peace, grace, and transformation of the individual. As enough people embody this state, a collective foundation is formed for the return of the Christ presence.
