Today's post summarizes few of the deep occult statements and mantrams regarding study of the seven rays from EP I and II in two tables. The entire treatise on seven rays is divided into five books extending over 3000 pages of pure ageless wisdom.
"As part of the initial Plan, the one Life sought expansion, and the seven aeons or emanations came forth from the central vortex and actively repeated the earlier process in all its details. They too came into manifestation and in the work of expressing active life, qualified by love and limited by an outward phenomenal appearance, they swept into a secondary activity and became the seven Builders, the seven Sources of life and the seven Rishis of all the ancient scriptures." - Esoteric Psychology I.
These Seven Lords we summarize them in a table through names, qualities as well as the mantrams denoting their purpose.
1. The Three Rays of Aspect:
Ray I....Will, dynamically applied, emerges in manifestation as power.
Ray II...Love, magnetically functioning, produces wisdom.
Ray III..Intelligence, potentially found in substance, causes activity.
The three major rays sum up in themselves the process of creation, of energising, through the urge
of the divine will;
2. The Four Rays of Attribute.
The work of the remaining four rays of attribute (differentiated qualities of intelligent activity of Ray III) is to elaborate or differentiate the qualities of the life, and so produce the infinite multiplicity of forms which will enable the life to assume its many points of focus and express—through the process of evolutionary manifestation—its diverse characteristics.
Ray IV: Harmony through Conflict, Ray V : Concrete Knowledge, Ray VI: Devotion, Ray VII: Ceremonial Ritual.
DK gives us few tips for study:
If one contemplates on these tables, they will be found to indicate one's individual ray, life tendencies and purpose; the various statements make anent a particular ray should evoke an intuitive understanding on the part of the sincere student, so
that he will recognise himself in truth, his ray energy and aspects of his latent and deeply desired spiritual nature.
These tables on the rays are of much deeper significance and require careful systematic study and a sane refraining from the forming of rapid deductions. These will lead eventually to an understanding of the part an individual may play in a stupendous cosmic whole. The statements begin with the universal (LORDS) and end with the particular (individuality), which is the true occult method.
There is much of practical usefulness to the reader in a study of these qualities. When he believes himself to be upon a particular ray, they will indicate to him some of the characteristics for which he may look, and perhaps demonstrate to him what he has to do, what he has to express, and what he has to overcome. These qualities should be studied from two angles: their divine aspect and their reverse aspect or the form side.
