The Seven
Rays are great forces of cosmic energy from that make up the
display of all world systems. The Rays are in essence seven sub-aspects
of Universal Love and Wisdom, the five elements of Indo-Tibetan
philosophy, plus two more esoteric ones. Vaguely, these Seven
Rays are:
RAY ONE Will
RAY TWO Love-Wisdom
RAY THREE Abstract
Intelligent Activity
RAY FOUR Harmony
through Conflict, Transformation or Transfiguration
RAY FIVE Concrete
Mind
RAY SIX Idealism
RAY SEVEN Ceremonial
Order
Each Ray has
a different vibration, quality, frequency and color, and acts
positively or dysfunctionally as it becomes involved withthe
minds of beings and the existing world deva structures. The science
of the rays is intertwined with all sciences, and offers important
keys for those prior to and getting going on the path of initiation
(enlightenment).

Because of
the transmission of wisdom in The Lotus, the work with the rays
leaves the conceptual realm and is based in direct awareness.
For serious students of the Ageless Wisdom, you may wish to participate
in a Seven Ray Intensive.

The Personal
Seven Ray Intensive
A Lifetime
Ray Analysis Reading with Sol Ta Traine, a teacher at THE LOTUS.
As each
of us is an expression, temporarily, of different Rays and combinations
of Ray attributes. An accurate ray analysis and life orientation
provides a basis and concise direction for our life and spiritual
path. All astrological readings are incomplete without a thorough
understanding of our Rays.
When we
learn to work with our Ray energies our lives become more effective
and harmonious. Another way to put it is: Each of us has a unique
natural lifestyle and purpose. An accurate Ray analysis allows
you to see a clear picture of yourself and the energies that
your soul and spirit have chosen for you to manifest in this
and future lifetimes.
All those
who have done the Seven Ray Intensive have received understandings,
purifications and attunements that have helped them to embody
their Ray capabilities and skills, and to develop dynamic true
soul and personality expression.
In the training,
students will receive a Ray Balance Attunement. The Ray Balance
Attunement gives you the ability to energetically balance not
only your Rays, but the Rays of others, too. When you learn to
balance these Ray energies in your system, you may be able to
use the universal energy that was always meant for your life.
When our spiritual path is correctly aligned, as glamour is clearing,
we will know more and more what our true Rays are, and there
will be an accelerated flow toward self-mastery, happiness and
fulfillment, of course, still depending on one's own levels of
awareness, skill and effort.
Most people
who have taken the Seven Ray Intensive report life-changing adjustments
to their path and an increase of vital energy and spiritual connectedness.
Meditate on these
seven topics until you know them well. This allows the awareness
of the basic karmic factors in us, helps opens awareness on the
mental plane bridge and generally improves all future advanced
practices you will be doing.
1 The Seven Rays
and the Ray Opposites,
2 Thought forms (samskara) and Mind Nature (dharmakaya)
3 "Self"
4 "Others"
5 Seemingness,
6 Seriousness, and,
7 Form and Emptiness.
A good way to
do these meditations...
Meditate on the
seven rays one ray per day.
Do extra days of meditation on your own rays and on false rays.
Meditate on seriousness for two days.
Meditate on seemingness for two days.
Contemplate on what mind is for days to years.
See if the self is the mind in daily meditation. Each time you
resolve that the self is in the mind, go back to contemplating
what mind is.
See if places and others are in the mind. Each time you resolve
that they are mind, go back to recognizing mind nature.
