Occult Statements and Mantrams of 7 Rays

 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.



Attached Images of tables, many more to follow and later to be synthesised with earlier tables describing the path of yoga of synthesis !

The Yoga of Synthesis Diary Leaves 4

 Album The Yoga of Synthesis  Dated 22 January 2025 The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali give us four stages of meditation and when applied on symbols we find: 1. First, as the form is pondered upon, the realisation begins to dawn that it is but a symbol of an inner reality. 2. Second, there is a recognition of the quality or nature of the form—its subjective energy, the quality of the force that seems to flow through it, the emotion that the symbol arouses. 3. Third, as we concentrate on considering the quality, we arrive next at the purpose, the motive, and the idea that the symbol has held concealed. 4. Fourth, in the final stage of identification, one becomes at one with the symbol; one shares its quality; one participates in its purpose, and through these stages one arrives at a unity with the creator of the form. When applied to the four symbols (of Helena Blavatsky, Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, Alice Bailey, and the category-theoretic model of Cause-Meaning/Quality-Effect), we...

A synthesis of Savitri and Theosophy - Painting No 15

 Today we continue to contemplate on the remaining lines from Page 5 of the Symbol Dawn of Savitri.  "Here too the vision and prophetic gleam Lit into miracles common meaningless shapes; Then the divine afflatus, spent, withdrew, Unwanted, fading from the mortal’s range. A sacred yearning lingered in its trace, The worship of a Presence and a Power Too perfect to be held by death-bound hearts, The prescience of a marvellous birth to come." 'Here' stands for our ordinary human world where the vision and prophetic brief light of Goddess lit the ordinary shapes miraculously into divine meaning for few moments. But then the divine creative impulse or inspiration was spent and feeling unwanted withdrew and faded from the range of mortal men. Once gone it left behind a sacred yearning in the hearts of those later realized what had happened. The presence and Power of Divine Goddess was too perfect to be worshipped to be held steady by death-bound hearts of ordinary mortals. ...

A Lam-Rim Retreat - Part III

Dated May/June 2025. 1. A Darshan As we meditated and learned some key concepts of Mahayana Buddhism, the air within the monastery was mildly perfumed with the delicate scent of Tibetan essence. Outside, the bees hummed among the native flowers, intoxicated by their fragrance. On the nearby trees, the monkeys leaped and swung, and the outside air was filled with the chirp of small birds and insects.       Deceived by material prosperity and addicted to comforts (I am not against either of these, but against the ever-increasing production of goods or the culture of consumerism to gratify men's insatiable desires; or to hide the unpleasant facts of life), the majority of "modernistic" men have deprived themselves of the opportunity and privileges of leading a truly satisfying life of spiritual freedom as their ancestors once did. As I took a Tibetan Buddhist retreat on the Himalayan heights, I could readily experience that it was immensely easier for the materially “ba...
