The Seven Rays

The archangels are the messengers who bring us the intelligence of the universe in a simple and practical way. They represent the seven principles of God's foundation - Power, Wisdom, Love, Purity, Healing, Service and Forgiveness also known as the Seven Rays Of Enlightenment. These rays are the seven rainbow colors and each color is guided by an Archangel. Imagine the Godhead, the Source, as pure white Light. In much the same way as normal light is refracted through a prism into seven colors, so too is the Source Light refracted to earth in seven basic colors. Each of these seven rays brings a different aspect of the Godhead to us here on earth. Each ray also focuses more intensely on the earth on a special day of the week. Think of the earth as a spinning prism and every day a new color or aspect of the Godhead is more intensely focused than the other rays. The traits of the ray and the specific archangel are stronger on that particular day of the week. Remember how we said each archangel and archeiai serve on one of the seven rays? Well in much the same way as we here on earth work in pairs, male and female, to bring forth new life, so too do the archangels and archeiai work together as a pairs to introduce the quality of their ray into human consciousness, together. You, just like everyone else, have a special alignment with one or more of these rays / qualities, which to a large extent determines your path and your service work while you are incarnate here. Your missions are aligned with the prominent ray colors and qualities of the rays with which you are resonating now. We can all benefit to learn with which ray(s) or Godly attributes we have a special connection or resonate. Each of us resonate with one or more of the archangels and consequently the ray(s) which they represent. If we use our connection to these archangels with

which we resonate to, and that particular path(s) of the rainbow, our own spiritual progress will be greatly accelerated. These awesome beings, these angelic hosts are the ones who step down the tremendous energy and high frequencies from the God Source, down to a level where we can access this information and then further our own progress along our journeys. These beings of Light are our caretakers, our guides and our support structures. They, along with many others support us in every second of every day of our lives, whether we are aware of their presence or not. The seven rays can also be matched with your seven major chakras. The easterners say that when each chakra is perfectly tuned, the body is in utter bliss. So too, the balance of the 7 rays can bring us to a higher level of consciousness and we can experience more of a connection to the God Source. The chakras serve the purpose of anchoring the seven force-fields and qualities of the seven rays of Light into our bodies, directly from the Godhead. When our chakras are perfectly aligned and spinning along the spine, they infuse our being with vitality and pure energy from God, creating wellness, health and harmony in our bodies, minds and spirits. In this way they give us the capacity to express the qualities of these rays within our world. The Three-Fold Flame The seven rainbow rays each have individual powers and qualities but they also work together very well. Pink, Yellow and Blue form a powerful triad of Love, Wisdom and Power, These three attributes of God actually blend in the Heart chakra to form the Sacred Three Fold Flame. The blue ray is governed by God's righteous warrior, Archangel Michael and his complement Faith, the pink ray by Archangels Chamuel & Chastity and the Yellow ray by Archangels Jophiel & Christine. The Three-Fold Flame is the spark of life, seated in the Heart center of the body. It anchors the intrinsic qualities of God inside each of us. This is the covenant which I will make...says the LORD. I will place my law within them, and write it upon their hearts; I will be their God, and they shall

be my people... All, from the least to the greatest shall know me, says the LORD, for I will forgive their evil doing and remember their sin no more. JEREMIAH 31::33-34

About The 7 Rays This was derived directly from a wonderful little book that everyone should have. It is titled: "ANGELS of Love and Light" by Lynn Fischer. It is highly recommended that you buy this book as it is the foundation of the teachings about angels covered in this course. The ISBN # is: 0-9652896-0-5. This little book covers this subject and the subject of angels in much greater detail.

The First Ray - Sapphire Blue The first solar ray represents the power and will of God as well as the power of

faith and protection. Power is the force behind action and movement. It is the motivation in all that we do. The sapphire blue ray brings down God's power which is never harmful. It emanates most strongly on Tuesday and is governed by Archangel Michael & Archeiai Faith. Rulers, executives and public servants are usually found working under this ray. It teaches us the proper use of power and sends us an understanding of God's power so that we do not miscreate. This correct use may be achieved by working on these four basic qualities: Love, Forgiveness, Humility & Faith. When all four are in balance, we may find ourselves in the position of respected leaders in our community. Calling upon this ray will help a leader to be honorable rather than self-serving. The sapphire blue ray is the color of the throat chakra, which is the seat of communication and governs the power of the spoken word.

The Second Ray - Golden Yellow Often called the sunshine ray of enlightenment, wisdom and understanding. It's golden-yellow color is most prominent on Sunday. The easterners place the yellow ray at the crown chakra. Light means and end to darkness. Enlightenment means the end of ignorance. Once we are wise, we have no fear. Ignorance, fear and greed brings about war, prejudice and hatred. Wisdom and illumination bring peace because they are of God. Archangel Jophiel & Archeiai Christine govern the second solar ray through their devotion to divine wisdom. Angels of the 2nd ray abound in schools, colleges, universities and theological schools. They provide us with divine guidance in education and learning. They magnify the quality of illumination all over the world.

The Third Ray - Petal Pink Represents the vibration of adoration that expresses the universal law of divine love. The desire to create beauty and harmony comes under this ray. People working as artists, musicians and peacemakers are attracted to this blushing, heavenly hue. The color of joy, it draws out the good in people and brings a

feeling of oneness with others. It helps people fulfill their own specific divine plan by uplifting their emotional state and drawing on the quality of divine love in their hearts and expressing it in their outer world. The love ray rules the heart, the seat of central power in the body. The archangels Chamuel & Charity govern this pink ray as they radiate qualities of adoration the profound act of honoring the divine. They teach us that God's love is always abundantly flowing to us and can never be withheld, for it can never be depleted. It is eternal. For love is the highest expression of God and is magnified every time we express our love to any part of life.

The Forth Ray - Dazzling White This ray is the inspirational energy of God, representing purity, resurrection and ascension. It is made up of all the colors of the rainbow combined to form a sparkling crystal white. This ray rules the base of the spine chakra. Also known as the pure energies of creation. Jesus Christ demonstrated the action of the 4th ray with the miracle of his resurrection. It magnifies the qualities of purity and wholeness and the desire for our Soul to re-unite with God. This dazzling white ray is for purification and gives us the sense to strive for perfection. It is the desire to know and be closer to God through the purity of one's body, mind and spirit. Those who work under this ray are usually spiritual leaders, architects, builders, musicians, artists, astronomers, biochemists, physicists and spiritual scientists. Archangel Gabriel and Archeiai Hope direct this Ray by representing the resurrection and hope of eternal life. This PURITY FLAME pours forth most strongly on Friday . The Fifth Ray - Emerald Green This ray represents the qualities of divine vision, healing and truth. It magnifies the laws of abundance and enhances our ability to create through visualization. To properly use this ray, one must have both humility and purity of heart to hold firmly a dream of what one is striving for. People working

under this soothing emerald green ray are often involved in holistic healing, doctors, nurses, scientists and inventors who understand the mathematics and universal laws of creation. It is also the ray of music and geometry. Archangel Raphael & Archeiai Mary govern this ray by embodying the qualities of healing, concentration and truth. It is also referred to as the TRUTH FLAME. This ray is most prominent on Wednesday.

The Sixth Ray - Ruby - A Combination of Purple & Gold The 6th ray represents the majestic virtues of God's grace, devotion and ministration. It is also known as the GRACE FLAME for it blazes forth the qualities of mercy, compassion and loving protection. It promotes a desire to contribute to life through selfless service to God and our fellow man. Those who work under this ray are ministers, teachers, psychologists, missionaries, lawyers, public servants and social workers. Also blue collar workers, ranchers, farmers, business- men and woman. The ruby ray also represents the universal law of cause and effect known as karma. Karma is the result of our consciousness in action. Every thought, word and deed is recorded as karma and through these, the soul reaps its rewards or retributions for their thoughts and actions. It teaches us that we are accountable for determining our fate through what we choose to think, feel, say and do. We learn from karma how to correct ourselves and behave in the best interests for all mankind. Archangels Uriel and Aurora bring these qualities of the sixth solar ray, radiating spiritual vitality to all earthly beings. Their influence is strongest on Thursday.

The Seventh Ray - Violet The seventh solar ray represents freedom and forgiveness. It is also known as the VIOLET FLAME or as Violet Fire. It plays a powerful role in "divine alchemy" which is the action of transforming ourselves from a lower to a higher state of consciousness. This ray is most active on Saturdays. It is ruled by the benevolent angels of invocation, Archangel Zadkiel and Archeiai Amethyst. The

violet ray is also an aspect of the Holy Spirit, which stands for forgiveness and transformation in the Holy Trinity. This ray is the divine alchemy that transmutes misqualified (misused) energy back into its pure state as it originally came forth from God. The seventh ray of freedom will be the most active and predominant energetic vibration of the earth during the next 2000 year cycle, known as the seventh cycle or the return back to God. The violet ray is the symbol for the approaching "New Age," which means quite literally "a new age of consciousness and freedom" for all. The violet flame can transmute our burdens and heal the earth when we choose to magnify its qualities of forgiveness. It will change the energy within ourselves, our lives and the world around us. It is truly the gift of forgiveness and the action of the Holy Spirit working within. Often found working on this ray are great leaders, diplomats and royalty.

7 Rays Of Enlightenment Reiki

Earth's Presence7 rays was developed by Wanda (Kate) Shibles
The easterners say that when each chakra is perfectly tuned, the body is in utter bliss. So too, the balance of the 7 rays can bring us to a higher level of consciousness and we can experience more of a connection to the God Source. The chakras serve the purpose of anchoring the seven force-fields and qualities of the seven rays of Light into our bodies, directly from the Godhead. When our chakras are perfectly aligned and spinning along the spine, they infuse our being with vitality and pure energy from God, creating wellness, health and harmony in our bodies, minds and spirits. In this way they give us the capacity to express the qualities of these rays within our world.

Ascended Masters

The term 'Ascended Masters' refers to those souls who supposedly, after many incarnations and life experiences, have mastered the lessons of the physical realm which is about balance and the games of emotions and then ascend - return to higher consciousness of thought and light. They have chosen to serve planet Earth in its ascension process as mass consciousness is moving back to source. Ascended Masters speak/channel to us - through synchronicities, dreams, meditations, art, music, other aspect of the creative mind intuitive side of the brain - the right brain - also known as the feminine side. Ascension means a return to the higher frequencies which we think of as a return to the feminine aspects of our souls. Connecting with an ascended master is a place we go to access the higher knowledge that we don't understand is inherently ours. They are a source we tap into when we want to trigger that higher knowledge within us. We search by sound, light and color then connect to that 'master' by frequency. Below are some of the Ascended Masters or teachers. Seven are supposedly linked to the 7 chakras - or 7 rays based on the Rainbow Bridge.

I AM (7 Rays & Great Invocation)

In the teachings of theosophy are descriptions of an occult hierarchy that exists in the world. In describing the world, there is a description of the sevenfold division running through al1 things and this appears also in the Great White Brotherhood. In the hierarchy the seven Rays are clearly distinguished. The first of ruling Ray is governed by the Lord of the World. The Second Ray is headed by the Lord Buddha. The title of Chohan is given to those Adepts who head Rays Three to Seven. "The essential thing to understand is that there is a certain sevenfold division of everything that exists in the manifested world, whether of life or matter. All life which exists in our chain of worlds passes through and belongs to one or other of Seven Rays, each having seven subdivisions. In the universe there are 49 such Rays, making, in sets of 7, the seven Great Cosmic Rays flowing from or through the 7 Great Logo. In our chain of worlds, and perhaps in our solar system, only one of these great Cosmic Rays is operating, and its sub-divisions are our 7 Rays. Each of us has come forth from the Eternal into the manifestation through one of the Rays." The fourth Ray is under the care of the Mater Serapis. The particular characteristic of this Ray is harmony and beauty. The Master Jesus rules the Sixth Ray, that of devotion. This is the Ray of the devotional saints and mystics of every religion. The Head of the Seventh Ray is the Master the Comte de St. Germane. He works to a large extent through ceremonial magic. The particular quality to be developed is that of ordered service. All of the qualities will have to be developed in each of us in due time. In the seven Planetary Logo certain cyclic changes periodically occur. There seems to be an infinite number of possible permutations and combinations of them. The earth is preparing for its ascension or increase in vibration and its inhabitants are as well. It would be well to remember that " we are not humans having a spiritual experience, but Spirit having a human experience." In order to ascend with the physical body, we must increase its frequency to that of the Light Body. A change in consciousness is also involved. It involves a change in awareness of what reality is and how illusion is created so that it can be changed: " now most of the energy making up your physica1 body is assimilated from the food you take in, but increasingly, that energy is being projected. Here's how it works: the Spirit levels of your being project conscious energy units into your physical field and direct then to form the cellular structures, rather than using the energy of proteins, starches, and so on from the digested food. Your spirit self is systematically converting the cells of your body to being fueled by projected energy rather than by digested energy. This projected energy is derived from the energy behind the radiation which you know as light. As a result, you are beginning to form what is often called a Light Body" Energy Fields and Emotional Fields: As an example, anger can spring from apparently nowhere. You may be picking it up from someone who happens to be in your field. The anger

isn't yours and can be dumped very easily. You can spin your emotional field to centrifuge it out, declaring that your release the energy back to the universe. Feel it drain away. Releasing your own anger is almost as easy. But first, you must realize that h is only energy and that energy loves to move. It hates being still. Also, realize that this energy is not yours, but only on loan for the moment. Spin your fields and declare to yourself: "This anger ( or fear, jealousy, etc.) Is not me or mine. I release it back to the universe." If an emotion feels good to you are picking the energy up from another source: Spirit. The Unified Chakra involves merely expanding your heart Chakra to encompass all the others. Karma: The law of karma need not be a cruelty for a cruelty. It may just as easily be compensated for by and act of kindness or forgiveness on the part of a victim And remember that your spirit selves operate in simultaneous time. Focus time so that an act can be balanced by what you perceive as an earlier time. The Law of Grace: The energy of Grace Elohim allows you to shed old energy and to break any old karmic agreements you have with any others. Shame: The important thing about this shame is to know that you inherited it in your genes. When you feel any kind of shame, it's not " you", but just another energy to be released from your fields. Another way to support yourself when shame comes up is to sense your true power. Ask Spirit for ever-increasing capacity to do whatever it takes. Secondly, call on Destroyer Force angels to spin the energy out of your fields. After a few seconds you will feel more calm and more subtly powerful. Let this sense flow through your body and visualize it filling the void in your cells left by the released shame. ASCENSION: Your conscious role is to clean out your lower fields, get them aligned, and prepare them to handle the massive influx of high frequency Light energy. Spirit's role is to flood these fields with your own energy and complete their alignment. Breaking Old Patterns The purified Chakra allows you to do this and bring more energy in. Get in relaxed position deep breathing breathe Light into the heart Chakra With out breath, visualize heart Chakra expanding as a sphere. Include each succeeding pair of Chakras with each breath: Third and forth; Second and sixth; First and seventh; Omega (in below spine) & alpha (8 in above head); Eighth and your knees; Ninth and your ankles; and Tenth and your feet. Your unified Chakra now forms a sphere of golden light, 20-50 feet in diameter. Your spirit field coexists with this field and you can ask the appropriate level of your own spirit to blend with your unified field. INVOCATION TO UNITY I AM CHRISTED BEING; I AM IN UNITY WITH SPIRIT I AM A CHRISTED BEING; I AM IN UNITY WITH ALL THAT IS; THE LIGHT OF MY OWN BEING SHINES UPON MY PATH I AM A CHRISTED BEING; I AM IN UNITY WITH ALL THAT WILL BE I HOLD THE SHINING LIGHT OF THE SOURCE WITHIN MY HEART I WALK IN UNITY WITH SPIRIT I LAUGH IN UNITY WITH THE SOURCE I LOVE IN UNITY WITH MY FELLOW BEINGS I AM A CHRISTED SPIRIT; I AM A BRIDGE BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH INVOCATION TO LIGHT I LIVE WITHIN THE LIGHT I LOVE WITHIN THE LIGHT 1 LAUGH WITHIN THE LIGHT I AM SUSTAINED AND NOURISHED BY THE LIGHT.

I DECLARE IT THE WATER OF LIGHT AS I BRING I WITHIN MY BODY, IT ALLOWS MY BODY TO GLOW. I TAKE THIS THE WATER OF LIGHT. I DECLARE IT THE WATER OF GOD. I AM A MASTER IN ALL THAT I AM. THE VIOLET FLAME ST. GERMANE, LORD OF THE VIOLET RAY, OFFERS THE VIOLET FLAME OF TRANSMUTATION FOR DEALING WITH LOW FREQUENCY ENERGY YOU WISH TO REMOVE FROM YOUR FIELDS. USE IT WHENEVER YOU ARE DROPPING DENSITY OF ANY KIND OR WHEN YOU ENCOUNTER LOW FREQUENCY ENERGY IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT . DO IT SEVERAL TIMES A DAY IF NECESSARY. FOR PERSONAL USE, VISUALIZE THE VIOLET FLAME OF TRANSMUTATION (MIXED WITH TB SILVER RAY OF GRACE TO FORM A BEAUTIFUL IRIDESCENT VIOLET). THEN SEE IT POURING INTO YOUR PHYSICAL BODY AND FILLING EVERY CELL. THEN BRING IT THROUGH YOUR EMOTIONAL, MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL BODIES SEPARATELY. TO CLEAN A SPACE, SUCH AS YOUR OFFICE OR HOME, SEE THE VIOLET FLAMES RISING UP FROM THE FLOOR, CONSUMING ALL LOW FREQUENCY ENERGY. PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO CLEANING YOUR BED WHEN YOU GET UP IN THE MORNING. THE GREAT INVOCATION FROM THE POINT OF LIGHT WITHIN THE MIND OF GOD LET LIGHT STREAM FORTH INTO THE HEADS OF MEN. LET LIGHT DESCEND ON EARTH. FROM THE POINT OF LOVE WITHIN THE HEART OF GOD LET LOVE STREAM INTO THE HEARTS OF MEN. MAY CHRIST RETURN TO EARTH. FROM THE CENTER WHERE THE WILL OF GOD IS KNOWN LET THE PURPOSE GUIDE THE LITTLE WILLS OF MEN-THE PURPOSE WHICH THE MASTERS KNOW AND SERVE. FROM THE CENTER WHICH WE CALL THE RACE OF MEN LET THE PLAN OF LOVE AND LIGHT WORK OUT AND MAY IT SEAL THE DOOR WHERE EVIL DWELLS. LET LIGHT AND LOVE AND POWER RESTORE THE PLAN ON EARTH.

THE SEVEN RAYS

"The Hindus speak of them as the "Seven Praj patis" (Lords of Creation); the Zoroastrians, as the "Seven Amesha Spentas" (Immortal Holy Ones). In Egypt they were termed the "Seven Mystery Gods." The Jews call them the "Seven Sephiroth". In

the Christian Bible they are referred to as the "Seven Spirits before the Throne of God". In the Theosophical concept the term "Seven Planetary Chain Logoi" is generally used."

The Seven Rays

Seven great energies or streams of force demonstrate the qualities of

Deity. The Wisdom Teachings speak of them as the Seven Rays and they are dominant conditioning and qualifying factors in our lives. But not only this; they are, we understand, cosmic elements, reaching us from the unknown spheres of other systems, and no part of the life of our planet is unaffected by them. In the same way as the seven colours are parts of the spectrum and the seven notes are tones of the octave, so these Rays are differentiations or qualities of the one divine Emanation. In some of the eastern teachings they are called the seven breaths giving life to all forms, and they have been referred to in various ways in different philosophies. It is these great "Energies" that St John called symbolically "the Seven Spirits before the throne of God." The Seven Rays, each carrying particular qualities and tendencies, are responsible for the different psychological types. Several Rays will probably influence us, but one usually predominates and gives the main colouring to our character. There is a connection here with astrology ... the astrological influences carry these same streams of energy and our alignment with particular Signs puts us more directly in touch with these qualities. The following summary only gives a very brief idea of each Ray, but serves to indicate their different types of influence.

Clicking on the header name for each Ray will bring up a chart of information about that Ray, compiled from the Alice Bailey books.

First Ray: Will or Power Purpose, positivity and leadership are the outstanding qualities of this Ray. It carries great strength and driving force, in fact it is sometimes called the Destroyer. It is the Ray of the ruler and is particularly related to the field of Government. Those who initiate undertakings and are found in positions of power are especially aligned with this type of energy.

Second Ray: Love-Wisdom This Ray embodies the building and relating qualities and is the blending and inclusive energy that leads to true understanding. Its strength is

through persistence and it radiates the spirit of relationship and the attractive quality of Love. On this Ray are found the lovers of Truth and those who seek the path of Wisdom; the Teachers, Healers and Philosophers are the exponents of its magnetic energy.

Third Ray: Active Intelligence This energy carries an underlying impulse towards both mental and physical activity. A clear intellect and an ability to plan are its characteristics and a capacity for abstract thinking and intelligent organising are this Ray's especial gifts. Its influence works particularly through economics and industry.

Fourth Ray: Harmony through Conflict This is the Ray of beauty, art, and creative expression in all forms. It is the energy which, through conflict, brings order out of confusion, harmony out of discord, unity out of diversity. It finds its expression particularly in the cultural field, but it also has great influence upon humanity as a whole, and brings about the achievement through struggle by which we evolve.

Fifth Ray: Concrete Knowledge and Science This Ray is pre-eminently that of mind, critical ability and research. It is the Ray of the keen and enquiring intellect that demands great accuracy and gives much attention to detail. Within this stream are found those working in all the different branches of science.

Sixth Ray: Devotion and Idealism Dedication and fanatical altruism are the main impulses of this Ray. It carries a militant one-pointedness and intensity, and further characteristics are devotion and a spirit of service. It is the Ray of the crusader and the idealist and is the great force within Religion.

Seventh Ray: Ceremonial Order and Ritual This is the Ray which links spirit and matter and it works through law, organisation ane ritual. Those under its impulse delight in order and perfection of form. Since it is concerned with the concretising of energy, finance comes within its province, as well as all ceremonial activity.

This gives the general picture of the Rays, but they are many-sided and too complex to be fully portrayed in a short summary. It must be added, however, that their energies can work out as detrimental tendencies as well as valuable qualities. For example, First Ray energy may activate the strong, courageous leader, but may equally well stimulate adversely the ambitious, arrogant dictator. Upon our response to these great forces and our handling of them depends how they manifest. There are many interesting relationships and correspondences which can be followed up in connection with the Seven Rays. Their influence is felt in all kingdoms of nature and recognition of their conditioning energies gives us new insight into our fellow humans as well as ourselves. Study of them will be at the roots of New Age psychology, for understanding of the Rays that influence us individually will reveal both the bases of our problems and our lines of potentiality, and will help us to meet the ancient Greek, yet ever current, demand"Know thyself."
