A Short Primer on the Seven Rays

Esoteric science postulates seven streams of energy or rays, whose interaction, at every conceivable frequency, creates the solar systems, galaxies and universes. As far as our own solar system is concerned, these seven energies are the expression of seven great Lives embodied by seven stars in the constellation of the Great Bear. There are three primary rays, or rays of aspect, and four secondary rays of attribute. Rays of Aspect:

• 1st ray of Power, Will or Purpose
• 2nd ray of Love-Wisdom
• 3rd ray of Active, Creative Intelligence

• 4th ray of Harmony through Conflict, or Beauty, or Art
• 5th ray of Concrete Science or Knowledge
• 6th ray of Abstract Idealism or Devotion
• 7th ray of Ceremonial Order or Magic or Ritual or Organization

A knowledge of one's rays provides one with an insight into one's strengths and limitations, one's line of least resistance in this life, and also an understanding of the bridges and the barriers between oneself and others, erected by our individual ray structure. It will be obvious how this factor conditions the quality of married life and other close relationships.

The line 1-3-5-7 deals with the form, the concrete world, with the function of matter, so that those on that line tend to be extroverted to the outer, formal aspect of life. The 2-4-6 rays are connected with the inner, spiritual life, with expressions through the medium of form, with quality, and those on this line are therefore more drawn to the inner soul quality through introversion.

The soul ray remains constant from life to life. This is why an understanding of one's ray structure is important. If one's rays structure is not known, it is important to contemplate what particular rays are affecting one's life through the template of their Esoteric Astrological chart. Realize it has been pointed out there is not astrological system that can definatively determine ones five-fold ray structure. However, an Esoteric Astrological reading, by the process I use, is a good starting point.

As a part of the reading process, I spend time with a client to provide a base of knowledge on the Seven Rays. There are many places where more information can be obtained on the Seven Rays. Review our reading list for books by Alice A. Bailey (also referred to as "the Blue Books"). Also I suggest you check out the following links:

• The University of the Seven Rays
• AstroQab
• The Institute of HeartMath
• Peter Russell - The Spirit of NOW
• www.esotericastrologer.org

I strongly suggest that my potential clients invest the time and money to take the Personal Identity Profile authored by Michael Robbins of the University of the Seven Rays (PIP II is the current edition) to get a jump start on learning one's 5 fold ray structure. Do not confuse this with what is called the 8 fold ray structure formula consisting of one's Soul ray, personality ray, mental ray, emotional body ray, and physical body ray with their astrological ascendant's sign, Sun sign and Moon sign. Although not being an "end point", the PIP II asks a series of questions and then provides the results in a way that, through working with the 108 page interpretation manual, one can begin the process of determining one's ray structure, in preparation for an Esoteric Astrological Reading

Upon completion of the P.I.P. II you will receive:

1. Four seven-color P.I.P. II Charts (bar graphs), which present you with a very useful visual image of the relative strength of the Seven Rays, and the Fourteen Ray Types within your energy system. The four charts are:

   Chart I: The Seven Rays - Now
   Chart II: The Seven Rays - Formerly
   Chart III: The Fourteen Ray Types - Now
   Chart IV: The Fourteen Rays Types - Formerly

2. Four P.I.P. II Printouts, which is a list of charts and tabulations presenting various arrangements of your P.I.P. II scores. These printouts are to be used when interpreting the P.I.P. II. The four printouts include:

   Tabulation I: Now Ray Pattern
   Tabulation II: Former Ray Pattern
   Tabulation III: Seven Rays (Now and Formerly)
   Tabulation IV: Fourteen Types(Now and Formerly)
   Tabulation V: Traits to Transform (Now and Formerly)
   Tabulation VI: Highest Aspirations (both ranked by strength and the quality given)
   Tabulation VII: Ray Questions

3. The completely revised 108 page Interpretation Manual which deals with all the important issues involved in interpreting the Personal Identity Profile II.

The cost to take the PIP II is a suggested donation of one day's pay. To download the PIP II test software generator, or request a copy click this link.
