As I offered recently, we are part of the unified field of energy pervading all we know. We are each unique in the larger Light/Life we dance within, and each of us fulfills our purpose for being here by learning how to use Archetypal Energies of Life in more skillful ways. Today we begin a three part exploration of the 7 Rays, the primary energies of our existence.
These energies are used by Masters of the Wisdom to help all truth seeking Souls to bring forth their spiritual gifts. They are the energies we are learning how to master in order to live a life of wisdom and harmony. These 7 energies have infinite applications, and by becoming aware of what to use and when, we naturally attune to the frequencies of Higher Awareness.
I gave some of this to you many years ago, and composed a lot of new material for this series. Each of us is a living combination of these 7 Ray energies in different proportions. While we have a primary Ray orientation in the various parts of our personality and outer life, we also have to learn how to blends various energies so we can respond consciously in any circumstance we face.
As we become more conscious we find others we harmonize with who are members of our true Community. We share Ray energies with many of them, but as with all life contacts, depending on what life chapter we’re in, sometimes we align with another’s energies more easily than at other times, and sometimes we don’t align well in any way at any time.
This teaches us about which types of people we more naturally relate to, and what truths we believe in. If everything in our reality is about frequency, then the Rays show us the nature of those frequencies of contact. The best contacts are when we each are using the 7 Ray energies skillfully to bring about mutually beneficial experiences we never could have had alone.
The 7 Rays are 7 distinct “frequency harmonics” pervading the greater energy field encompassing all Paths and all experiences. They infuse everything from our personalities to our Spiritual Disciplines to our friends and professions. These 7 energies are “bandwidths” showing us how energy itself relates to itself. They are how all forms and formless forms are created. They show us the nature of what IS, each describing a unique and interrelated energy with all the other Ray energies.
While each Ray describes a specific and distinct energy, they all work with each other in all human lives at various points. These Rays can be seen in every aspect of our lives and affairs, and by knowing which one(s) are in play we can become more comfortable with who we are, who we're not, and how to use these primary energies conditioning our existence. By learning how to blend certain energies, we can understand and improve any situation we find ourselves in.
By learning the requirements of each Ray, we learn what we are good at, as well as what we’re working on. By contemplating how these energies are everywhere and we're all using some combination of them all the time we can understand the "departments of labor and skill" in our Reality. That helps us become better in every way.
Astrology helps us know the timing on events and reasons why things happen when they do. However, it is important to investigate the nature of our reality from other angles of observation to find what energy tools we have to master in order to deal with our experiences effectively. This includes how these are most naturally applied, and how to confirm our progress or note when we need a change in tools or methods.
I was exposed to the Rays first through the Theosophical literature and then learned much more about them from the Alice A. Bailey teachings attributed to the Tibetan Master D.K. (known by other names through many incarnations). I have studied and observed them in operation for many years, and know these 7 energies pervade our world and our Solar system, manifesting in many ways as we each apply them in our own unique ways and times.
I have seen their applicability in psychology, philosophy, art, history, construction trades, and many areas of "natural" science. They of course have their correspondences with the 7 colors, 7 tones of the scale, 7 planes of consciousness, the 7 senses, the 7 directions, the 7 Ages of Humanity, the 7 traditional schools of Yoga, and probably even the 7 holes in our heads!
In part 2 we’ll take a look at each of the 7 Rays and their qualities. I’ll also give examples of how they show us why our personalities have qualities that have been shaped by various lessons over time, and how these 7 Ray energies can be consciously used to find strengths and overcome weaknesses. When we’re done with these articles you should be able to value why you are as you are, and not get hung up on what you’re not.
