STUDY ON THE SEVEN RAYS
1. INTRODUCTION.
Introduction.
I would like to mention the purpose that drives me to communicate with you. Within the designs of the divine plan, the
the education of the peoples is essential, to ensure that the Will of God is fulfilled on earth. The education of the
villages have always been a constant concern within the hierarchy of Masters. For this reason, one of the
the most important tasks that each of the directors of the hierarchy undertakes on earth is, precisely, to instruct
those disciples who are attuned to the vibrations in which each of the Masters operates.
I will give a series of lessons dedicated exclusively to understanding the methods under which the hierarchy operates, in its
instruction paper to humanity. I will touch on many of the points that you have already addressed before, such as the
influx of energy, direct instruction, inspiration with the great minds of the earth and, likewise, contact
indirectly through brothers of Shamballa, with those others who are influencing world decisions.
Clarifying the methodology that the Hierarchy follows in its instruction work is a point that we consider essential in the
formation of the students of light. The understanding of these ways of working will lead them to discard some options
that they were considering as students of the light and, at the same time, to revisit some others that they might have forgotten, but
they are the ones that will bring them directly to the alignment of human purposes with divine ones.
As the person in charge of the planet's instruction, it is my responsibility to define lines of action, procedures, and goals to which
we can all adjust. We share the same ideal; both you and we seek exactly the same thing, the
complete enlightenment of the human race. When teaching turns into light and dispels the darkness in which man
walk, the earth becomes a paradise and the wonders that were once hidden now emerge fully and ready to do more
smooth the path of the students.
Study of the Seven Rays.
In these talks we will address each of the Seven Rays, explaining, with certain details, what their purposes are.
they are pursued in each of those seven major departments. We will understand that the disciples who consciously
They work on each of those aspects, but they don't always do it under the shelter of some spiritual school, it's likely that they do not.
they belong to no teaching society, but deep inside, they know that they are fulfilling the designs
divine. Many of my words will fall on the ears of disciples, but many others will reach where they need to go,
to those brothers who walk free from the influence of any school, following a light that enlightens them
internally.
Each of my Brothers, directors of Rays, has perfectly defined functions that they fulfill with the greatest
possible diligence. The interpretation of the divine designs that come through the emanations of our Solar Logos,
it is the responsibility of each of them, but as directors, they have the ability to retransmit on the frequency
suitable, all that the divine plan has provided for this hour.
The energies of the Solar Logos adapt to the Earth.
The mechanism of adaptation of the energies of the Solar Logos for terrestrial humanity is undoubtedly a process
Interesting. The Solar Logos transmits its plan in the form of high-frequency energy; each of the directors takes that
energy and transforms it, granting it the polarity it requires, according to the Ray it is working on. This light, now
qualified with the specific aspects of each of the Rays, descends to the minds of the great initiates of the
humanity. They, in turn, perceive light and transform it into emotions; these high-order emotions are, in turn,
retransmitted further down and when the most advanced and harmonized minds of humanity, in each of the
departments, receive those emotions, they are transformed into actions and, in this way, they reach the world converted into
waves, transformed into ideals, transformed into behaviors. In this process of adjustments and readjustments of energies, the will
divine comes down, until it is accessible to the human mind.
Humanity, however, once an action or an idea reaches its domains, begins to act in duality, it
form controversies and human free will can, or cannot, make the decision if it is in accordance with God's plans; hence
that the importance of the instructors of humanity is increasingly recognized. The shapers of criteria, the
behavioral normatives, the spiritual inspirers of humanity, are those disciples of ours who have the
ability to understand divine designs in their highest purity and transmit them in the form of principles, in the form of
laws and regulations, which are a clear reflection of divine principles.
Each department performs multiple tasks; although it has a specific characteristic, it collaborates with the rest, in order to,
this way, form a great work that, combined, can direct the destinies of humanity. The separation into 7

departments, primarily obey, to the sevenfold nature of divine emanations; however, society
humanity is a single entity and, in itself, an amalgamation of human beings that vibrate in each of the 7 great
energies, although without having developed the qualities that are necessary to receive, in a pure way, the inspiration of
some of the Rays, that is: the normal, untrained human beings, are those who vibrate at different frequencies,
they harmonize or disharmonize with each of the Seven Rays; they still do not emit the appropriate note that allows them to
identify with the Ray they belong to, and all of this greatly hinders the work that Shamballa has been carrying out.
Why do spiritual schools exist?
For this reason, the spiritual schools of the world seek to intensify the divine spark of man, so that the being
human, harmonize your personality with one of the 7 divine aspects and, in this way, you can associate with the work of
some of the directors of Rayo. Until this happens, the individual is not qualified to work within the ashram of
some of the Masters; their vibrational frequency will make them confuse everything they receive and they will not be able to maintain the union
with the rest of the group. For this reason, spiritual schools work on the Seven Rays, always seeking to purify the light
interior that emanates from within each human being, preparing so that, when the moment comes, they can join the ranks
of the conscious light servers. But while this happens, the schools continue with their work, often quietly,
but of great usefulness in the service of the Father.
Prepare yourselves to listen to how each of the departments of Shamballa works amidst the
humanity. May each of these phrases, may each of these words, find the appropriate echo within you, so that
that can be identified as students in any of the departments.
My light and my blessings will accompany you throughout this reading. It will be so forever.

they repeat again and again from the beginning of time to the end of it. Even when these two words do not
mean nothing at all to us, this manifestation represents, for humanity, the possibility of aligning
with seven different fields of energy, which will provide the necessary impulses to manifest, in an exact manner,
the divine plans within human society.
Energy works on humanity.
The influence of these waves of energy on conscious humanity causes planetary movements through the
which, human society seeks to achieve greater levels of harmony or knowledge, without understanding,
Specifically, what do these impulses obey? All the great social events of humanity, from the
war-like to the artistic, religious, or scientific, are nothing but the echo of different waves of energy that arrive at the
surface of the planet and create reactions on the intuitive and emotional levels of humanity.
The three groups of humanity:
Humanity aware of energetic impulses.
6o.- Humanity could be divided into three major groups, the first of which consists of those of you who are already
aware of the impulses that these waves of energy are causing within them, have achieved a certain mastery of
their emotions and thoughts and, for that reason, consciously direct their lives towards set goals by
yourselves. This portion of humanity, which I clarify, does not necessarily belong to spiritual groups,
but are dispersed in all fields of human activity, all of you, these impulses favor you, for,
In a certain way, they serve the purposes already defined internally by each of you.
Humanity governed by emotions.
A second portion of humanity, primarily governed by their emotions, which still lacks direction
preset by themselves, who shape their lives at the mercy of the circumstances that it imposes on them, to all of them,
these waves of energy produce reactions that are completely out of their control; the energies impact
directly about the egregores that each one has formed, their areas of personality are activated or deactivated,
depending on the activity they have with the energy that prevails at that moment and, for the same reason, constitutes the
the generality of humanity, the largest percentage. They are the cause of wars, of crime, and of all those
movements that, in one way or another, disrupt, displacing human communities.
Humanity governed by animal instinct.
A third portion of humanity, smaller, consists of those human beings who are found
unable to engage in higher reasoning, who are completely alienated, because, one way or another,
they have sacrificed their human attributes and are guided directly by their passions or animalized emotions. This portion of
humanity remains, practically, insensitive to these waves of energy. Within this classification are the
people who are under the influence of some drug or certain mental vices, or are unbalanced, and in general, everyone
those whose mind does not obey them and are guided solely by instinct. This last group is a minority and, by the

of its major movements and its major failures.
And the first group that is also a minority are those who set the path, those who say which way to go;
they represent the antennas of humanity and their function, like ours, is to serve as intermediaries between us and
the rest of humanity. That is the function of that portion of human beings.
Now, having understood the function of the Hierarchy, as a regulating group between the will of the Solar Logos and the
human beings, there is another point of vital importance that is necessary to mention:
The manifestation of the Planetary Logos is the White Brotherhood.
The Planetary Logos, who is the hidden receiver of the will of the Solar Logos, works through his body of
manifestation that we are. The Great White Brotherhood constitutes the body of manifestation of that Logos

of human activity, but also that of each of the kingdoms that inhabit and make up this planet. Just as there exists
a hierarchy of Masters for humanity, there is another for each of the kingdoms, together we form the great council of
Logos Planetarium, the beloved Sanat Kumara, together we work to make the Divine Will a reality, in this small
creation of your universe.

seeds, for the minds of true disciples.

from this First Ray; all those human personalities that are profoundly transformative, transmutative,
those who fight against slavery, those who have strong independence interests, yearnings for freedom, are
Exactly inspired by this same Ray. Great military leaders are the preferred personalities of this Ray.
How does this Ray act at the level of personality?
First of all, those people who have an affinity with the nature of this divine emanation perceive its influence in
your heart. Being the heart one of the most important magnetic centers generating emotions in human beings, it is,
that point, where this Ray acts, intensely promoting the desire for freedom, the desire for justice,
desire to exercise the divine will above all human wills. Untrained people of this Ray,
they will manifest problems, because they will identify their own limited criteria as the correct one and the
the procedures that will follow will generally be violent, causing this person to become a danger to the
society.
But, in the student illuminated by will, illuminated by divine wisdom, in that being, that energy of the First Ray,
it will take you to reach heights rarely imagined by the students of light. Your perception of what will is
divine will allow you to guide your steps in an unmistakable way, within the realm of human society, while also
great firmness of will will be manifested in their character; they will never hesitate to take a certain action, since they are
clearly perceiving the divine will. On the other hand, he will never lack the strength to remain upright on the paths
that should be followed, because this energy provides, not only the clarity of perception of the divine will, but the
energy needed to pass through the terrestrial desert, through that tangled jungle of human passions, with one foot
firmly, setting aside all the dangers and obstacles that could appear along the way. This is the light that those pursue.
they are inspired by the First Ray.
The work of the First Ray in the universal creation.
Not only at the level of personality is the study of this first aspect of the Divine Logos interesting, there are many others.
areas, where the work of this First Ray is interesting for the study of all of you. For example, let's see how it is
this Ray works at a galactic level: It is the Ray that originates galaxy collisions; it is the Ray that promotes the
disintegration of some elements into others; it is the Ray that causes some stars to explode and become
supernovas; it is the same Ray that exerts the magnetic influence of black holes on the rest of the stars
neighbors; it is the Ray that promotes changes at galactic levels; it is the Ray of stellar collisions; it is the Ray of the
solar explosions; it is the Lightning that causes creation to transform, destroying the outdated forms to
prepare the entry of the new ones.
The influence of the First Ray in the mineral world.
At the levels of subhuman kingdoms, in the mineral kingdom for example, it is this First Ray that causes disintegration.
of radioactive materials. Likewise, it is this First Ray that works on the erosion of the mineral kingdom caused by
the waters of the sea, for example, or of the rivers, within the continents; it is the same force that undermines the great
mountains through the winds and every example of erosion is influenced by this First Ray. However,
let's understand that erosion is not solely negative, but rather it prepares the way, the ground, for new forms of
life, new forms of existence of the different kingdoms on the planet; it is a transformative agent, it is a purifying agent
and yes, likewise, an agent that seeks to adapt the obsolete forms to the new creations of the divine plan.
The influence of the First Ray on the plant world.
In the plant kingdoms as well, this energy is felt when some of the populations of certain species are affected.
soon threatened by another. The effect of predators on the plant kingdom is an effect caused by this First Ray.
At the biochemical level, the transformations caused by the attacks of certain substances emitted by plants on
Others, in order to destroy them or assimilate them, is precisely another of the effects of this First Ray.
The ecological battles fought by certain plant species in search of greater solar energy and which are even capable,
to kill superior vegetables is another of the activities developed by this First Ray. Survival, the struggle for
survival in the plant kingdom, which is dramatically represented in all communities and ecosystems of the
forests and in others where the number of species is high, is another of the activities that this First Ray develops within
of the plant kingdom.
The overpopulation of algae, the overpopulation of certain species whose purposes, at a physical level, are solely to
purifying some ecosystem, or the result of some pollution, we can likewise identify them as effects
of this First Ray. However, within the self-balancing nature of the plant kingdom, we have to understand that

of the balance that is the Second. In every operation of nature, in every work at the ecological level, first
the Ray of Will acts and then it is followed by the Ray of the Sowers.
Although this is not often evident in the light of spiritual disciples, we must understand that the multiplicity of
the ways in which each of the Rays works in the different realms is not easily identifiable, due to the fact that
the sciences that human beings have developed maintain a completely different classification that prevents seeing the
process as a whole; in this way, it is very difficult to understand how the First Ray is followed by the Second
and by the Third and how, the combination of the three can restore ecological balance in a certain
ecosystem.

Looking now for the manifestation of this First Ray in the animal kingdom, we would also obtain interesting data.

with the life of those animal species that have fulfilled their role on Earth. All this means that even the
unconscious humanity is a faithful instrument of the will of the Galactic Logos.

A portion of humanity that is increasingly aware of the responsibility it has in inhabiting this planet is

in many ways, but his work was inevitably the consequence of the already deteriorated environment that humanity
unconscious left in his past.
Again we can see the effect of the First Ray on that unconscious humanity and how the Second Ray comes
becoming increasingly penetrating in the consciousness of humans. We will see, as time passes, that these
groups grow to become the majority and then we will see the Second Ray act on those ecosystems that have already been
previously prepared by this First Ray. Thus, we will see being built on the earth, in large parks
ecological, large recreation areas, where animals, plants, minerals, and men can coexist in
complete harmony. These parks of the future will be a beauty worthy of the highest human creation, but that will be until
the great builders, those enlightened minds, may manifest, in a clean way, the Second Ray of the
sowers.
The wars.
In the human kingdom, as we have already mentioned, the strength of the First Ray generally acts in the aspects
bellicose of society. All wars are generally inspired by the First Ray, their function is not only to
to establish an imbalance in human society, but rather to shock the conscience of man, to make

awareness within each human being and in that search for a new reality, for a new world that is more balanced, more
just, fuller of love, human beings grow and the scars left by wars become seeds
of a new society, they transform into the flowers that will later adorn the societies of the world in a
climate of peace. Wars, even when they are often the result of human selfishness, leave, as a mark, the ground
prepared for the new, higher consciousnesses to arise and create the foundations of a more balanced world.
How does this First Ray work through the disciples of humanity?
As I explained earlier, the First Ray and all the Rays work through concentric circles of brothers.

first as ideals, then as actions, but all the ideas that come from the Galactic Logos are transformed
in concrete actions within the human realm and, in this way, those people who have an affinity with the energy of
this Ray, are finding their way within the endless and complicated web of the human maya.

of the sowers.
The contact of the Hierarchy.
The work of the hidden Hierarchy of the planet is not limited exclusively to training disciples in spiritual knowledge;
The Hierarchy maintains contacts with different advanced human beings in their personal evolution and who are developing in
various fields of human activities.
The First Ray, then, works with the same characteristics in each of the fields in which the human being is

with us.
Even though it has already been mentioned that the first contacts are established in the outer circles of the Hierarchy with
those humans who are prepared to receive them, there are other ways to establish first contacts
with people.
The Rays of each human being.
In the inner world of man, there are mechanisms by which the being can, momentarily, connect to the
source of their own inspiring Ray. Each human being is propelled in their life, mainly, by two Rays: The Ray
that directs his personality and specifically has oriented him in his external life and, on the other hand, the Ray that governs
the evolution of your inner being, the Ray of the Soul.
When the Soul's Ray is the first, then the being receives momentary impulses that are extremely powerful and it
they can lead to changing the course of their life, repeatedly, throughout it. When is the
personality that is governed by the First Ray, then, the being will manifest tendencies, to a certain extent, violent,
or with a strong sense of social justice.
When we talk about the Ray of Personality, we invariably have to refer to untrained people and to the
trained people, as two distinct aspects of manifestation of this Ray, inherent to human nature. In the
Ray of the Soul, this distinction is not necessary, since in untrained or less evolved people, the Ray of
Alma has no greater influence in her life.
The Ray of the Soul and the Ray of the Personality.
When the being has reached a certain level of spiritual awakening, then the Ray of the Soul competes, to some extent,
with the personality, to take dominion or control over the disciple's life. This struggle continues for a long time.
time, until the disciple becomes an initiate and, then, the Ray of the Soul begins to direct his work in the
world of personalities.
The First Ray grants characteristics, as we mentioned earlier, that can determine the course of life.
a person; however, the Ray of Personality, although it has certain cosmic influences, is a Ray that has been
developed by the individual's own material evolution, that is: although the Ray of the Soul is determined at the moment
Just like the creation of a human being, the Ray of Personality changes with each of the different arrivals of the
man to the earth.
What determines the Ray to which an individual's personality will belong?
The answer is: certain cosmic moments that occur at the time of birth and, on the other hand, the education that
receives in his family. These two factors will have a great influence on the Ray of Personality. Sometimes the being is born
with a certain Ray due to astrological influences, but the education received totally inhibits the characteristics of
this Ray of birth and it drives him to work on another, having, then, a different personality Ray from the one
he/she had at the time of his/her birth.
The same does not happen with the Ray of the Soul, as it is a characteristic of the individual, from the very moment of their
birth as a spiritual being. Let's remember that the creation of human beings and practically every creature of
universe, they are made in waves of energy and seeds emanating from the center of our galaxy; thus, the Ray of

to his spiritual evolution, to the ashram of his master, the director of his Ray.
8
STUDY ON THE SEVEN RAYS
In the early stages of discipleship, students must master the Ray of Personality; they must discover it,
channel it, make a perfect expression of his life on earth, use the positive aspects of it and neutralize
those that relate to the negative aspects.
Manifestations of the First Ray in the unconscious being and in the conscious being.
In the First Ray, we have a very clear differentiation: on one hand, the unconscious person, unprepared, the First
Ray transforms her into a violent being, an autocratic being, a being determined to fulfill her will despite everything and
All, while a trained being, a student of the light, the First Ray will bestow upon him the power to know and delve into
the mysteries of divine will; it will manifest an extremely broad and balanced criterion regarding justice and love,
as two indispensable pillars in the lives of human beings; it will manifest an willpower that is proof against everything and its
life, many times, will be an example of what the highest principles of justice can achieve on earth; they come to be
great leaders, because their life is an example hardly followed by the rest of the people.
This is the case of the disciples of the First Ray, revolutionary by nature, with aspirations for freedom above
any other human being. Freedom, for a disciple of the First Ray, is never negotiable, it constitutes their highest
treasure and for it, to give one's life, means nothing but paying a price that is far below the real one. Those are the qualities of the
disciples of the First Ray.
The way the Hierarchy works in this department is, on one hand, contacting the disciples and, on the other,
inspiring the enlightened minds of humanity. The great statesmen, the great strategists, those who impose
painful decisions are often inspired by this Ray. The work of this energy, on the field of politics,
it translates, invariably, into movements of social revolutions and independence of large human collectives.
Under this First Ray, international tribunals are created; under this First Ray, decisions are also made.
within the major forums of countries; under this First Ray, decisions are made concerning war or with the
peace in the countries of the world. Many of the separatist movements that some countries in the world are experiencing are
motivated by the energies of this Ray. The incursion of third countries into the internal wars of others is inspired by
another of our Rays.
Difference between the First and the Third Ray.
As we will see later, the Third Ray of active intelligence is the engine that keeps society in motion.
human. Do not think that everything that means war, revolutions, or transformations is the result of the First Ray. For
specifically identify which actions are driven by the first and which are by the Third, simply
analyze the objectives of each of the movements. When the objective is to destroy the forms that are no longer applicable to
modern times, we are talking about the First Ray. When the goal is to restore harmony and order of the
societies, it may be that we are talking about the fruit of the Third Ray.
Who determines the how and why of these movements of human societies?
The Hierarchy of Masters, in its great councils, carefully analyzes each of the activities that is
developing the human being on earth; we observe the impulses that lie behind each of the revolutions
and war movements of the planet. The reason for it is perfectly clear to us, since we can read the motives of each
one may have. The how is what we question. Although a movement can have negative repercussions or
contrary to divine will, the Hierarchy, then, drives, through the advanced minds of the earth, new
options, new ways of working, or actions aimed at neutralizing a movement that is beginning to take shape and that
it can have negative consequences for the path that humanity must follow.
On the other hand, when the Hierarchy observes stagnation in human progress, conditions that, on one hand, lead to the
degradation of man and, on the other hand, keeps him immersed in unconsciousness; the Hierarchy can also decide
to experiment with some type of revolutionary activity, with the aim of bringing a people out of stagnation and reintegrating them into the
evolutionary spiral of humanity.
Without a doubt, the work of the Hierarchy of Masters is broad and interesting for the disciple, but for now, we have covered
only the First Ray; in the next lesson, we will work with the Second Ray.
These energies, which are nothing other than atoms of light, produce thoughts, impulses, motivations, sensations, or
feelings, in each of the neurons of the brain. The brain then responds, generating associations that go
chords to those atoms of light that, in a certain way, we could say, embody divine will. Such associations
represent new ideas, new impulses for the conscious human mind, and thus translate into actions that
they seek to materialize what was previously given in ideas and which represents the divine will of this hour.
An individual may not be sensitive to these energies, but as they work on millions of human beings.
simultaneously, we soon see that a large percentage of the human community begins to direct its steps, its actions,
towards certain points and, thus, society is moving, reorienting its steps, towards the fulfillment of the
divine will.
Although this process may seem logical and simple, it becomes complicated when the land is shaken by tides of passions or
of concerns arising from some military movement, some economic crisis, or some type of political situation, which can
create tensions in relations between countries. Likewise, in certain events both sporting and artistic, they can
affect the way human beings will assimilate the energies from Cosmic Rays.
Human beings produce astral tides.
Human beings produce waves of energy that we have previously referred to as astral tides. Those
astral tides correspond, similarly, to the flows of small waves that occur on all beaches; those
Small waves are the ones that, in a certain way, produce the greatest effects on the sands and rocks of the beaches.
The great cosmic tides of the Rays come like bigger waves. Following the same example, the waves
coming from the Rays, would be much greater than the small waves produced by humans; however,
they are less frequent and their effect is felt in a different way.
Although astral tides are continuous, of low intensity, and greatly affect personalities and behaviors of the

For example: The Second Ray is the Ray of the sowers, it is a Ray that will drive humanity towards creation.
new forms of government, or new forms of art, or new forms of philosophy, or new forms of
sciences. The small human astral tides will take those impulses and cause collective movements of intensity
variable that will be affecting the daily life of humanity. But, as time goes by, it will be observed that these
human astral tides, what they are really doing is following the impulse of that great cosmic Ray that is the
number two and will provoke the emergence of new forms of art, science, politics, religion, or any other field of
human activity. This is how the energies of the cosmos work, in combination with the ones generated by
human beings.
Ways to capture the cosmic waves of the Rays.
Continuing with our study, we could very well divide human beings into several categories:
As I mentioned earlier, a small portion of human beings are capable of taking in the energies coming from
of the Rays and to direct them, consciously, towards concrete actions that align with the divine plan. These brothers
they work consciously with the Hierarchy; they are the illuminated minds of humanity, brothers who
they work, many times, from silence, from darkness, avoiding any contact with society, that could
cause them some deviation in their hidden work. Those people work at the mental levels and often at the
physical levels of the earth. Some of them lead public lives and become leaders of humanity; all of them are
guardians of the divine plan; all of them are angels who have descended to earth, to care for the seeds that the Father
has been sowing since the beginning of time and will be the blessing of humanity at the end of it.
Many others simply perceive the nature of the Rays and feel what the correct actions should be in this.
historical moment. These minds, also enlightened, although to a certain extent unaware that a divine plan exists,
they work as instruments of God and their actions are what write the pages of the book of history and they go
bringing humanity closer to the recognition of divine will.
The vast majority of human beings remain unaware of these energies; however, their steps, inevitably,
they go after the leaders who do perceive what should be done. These large portions of humanity, although,
unconscious of the energy they are receiving in their higher vehicles, they invariably follow the trends that
they mark the cosmic energies. And so, all of humanity, as a great collective of beings, fulfills, step by step,
the divine designs and the master plan continue forward.

As a basic differentiation between the Major Rays and the Minor Rays, we could say the following:

minors, represent the multiple ways in which the aspects of the Father manifest in the lower planes. Remember

thanks to the meditation and concentration exercises that have previously been revealed to you by others of my
brothers.
After this brief interlude, let us return once again to the nature of the Second Ray.

mean something far beyond simple concepts. Wisdom is the power that is contained in the faculty of man to
aligning with the divine purpose. Wisdom is the strength that allows man to walk, unequivocally, along the path
of the will of God; it is not the sum of concepts, it is not the ability to understand the sciences of the earth, nor is it

The wise man is the one who manifests the will of the Logos, not only in his words, not only in his deeds,
but in every particle of manifestation of its integral being, including the manifestation of its different organs of its
physical body, the manifestation of its different mental qualities, the manifestation of each of its smallest
emotions, the manifestation of every particle of intuition, the manifestation of all those functions, qualities and
operations that are carried out within each of their bodies. The wise man is a symbol of perfect manifestation of
God on Earth.
Now, this force of love wisdom, when it is brought to manifestation within the different realms of the earth,
produces movements on the planet that are interesting to study. For example: It is due to that force that humanity

The force of love understood as a force of cohesion must be intuited by the disciples of light as that force that
is capable of attracting atoms of divine light towards coarser planes of materialization, that is to say, all those initiated or
aspirants to initiation, who are able to perceive that force, will be able to understand that it is, thanks to it, that the great

Harmony through conflict is a name that, in the form of a parable, perfectly reflects what this Ray causes.
in each of the kingdoms and within human personality. It is the Ray of the artist who can mix, in a way
great, the fieriness of their inner spirit that seeks to be free and the sublime peace they attain when their masterpiece is
finished. It represents the human being who, driven by an inner force that takes over in actions, can, eventually, a
certain time, achieve peace through the correct manifestation of that force. It is the ultimate modulator, the
energy transformer, the one that reduces the degree of energy required for all of humanity to be able to
to receive, in a normal manner and without being affected, the high energies that come from the Primary Rays. It is that which dissolves
the difficulties and brings peace where there was once all agitation.
The Ray of harmony, beauty, and art.
In their negative aspects, the personalities of this Fourth Ray are impulsive people, not very mental, highly
emotional and capable of making decisions they will later regret for the rest of their days, people unable to control their
stormy character. However, in its purest form, the beings of the Fourth Ray are those who reflect within themselves
the same, harmony and beauty, take the disordered forms of life, take the sounds in complete chaos and
they transform, in order to create a work of art both in music and in dance, as well as in painting or in any
another artistic manifestation. They are the great sculptors who shape deformed stones, the great painters who, to
through multicolored ranges, they produce harmonies that easily evoke, in those who observe, emotions of fulfillment and
of ineffable beauty. It is the Ray, many times, of solitary beings, because they feel misunderstood by the crowds,
because only they observe those landscapes that are revealed to them internally, only they can capture the music of the spheres
and when they lack the necessary training to involve the rest of humanity, their frustration can lead them
to the limits of madness; they prefer to shut themselves in their inner beauty than to live in a world where chaos, anarchy and
disorder reigns everywhere.
The Ray that dissolves conflict and brings light.
On the disciple's path, the Fourth Ray is the one that brings order within conflict, it is the Ray that synthesizes, in small
phrases, the great Laws of the universe that explain the apparent paradoxes that occur within it. It is that art that the disciples
they develop to resolve conflicts arising from opposing theories, from contradictory teachings. It is one that dispels
the doubts of troubled minds, with a few words, shedding light where there was once darkness. That's why, this
Ray is from the artist, for this reason, this Ray is called harmony through conflict.
The Ray that harmonizes through the magic of the verb.
At the level of humanities, the Fourth Ray manifests in many ways: In great negotiators, in great
statists, in the great leaders who point the way and are capable of unifying the diverse opinions that come from
from different sectors of the towns; those that unify, in one, the multiple interests of their followers; those

a reality different from that of the rest of human beings, is to correctly start the path of these beings. So, listen
and learn:
It is the Fourth Ray that can generate harmony where there is conflict.

The study of the Rays is, without a doubt, an introduction to esoteric cosmology. The Divine Will, translated into
cosmic emanations, drive all of creation within a master program that is not revealed in all its fullness to
none of the creatures of the universe. The total understanding of the aspects included in this master plan would imply the
full identification, complete, with each of the emanations, as well as a total penetration with the source that

We have mentioned that creation has been built on the basis of seven primary emanations, under each of these,
some beings and creations were given to manifestation. The solar system came under the second emanation and that's why

17. THE SIXTH RAY: THE INNER LIFE, DEVOTION, AND LOVE.
The Sixth Ray is the Ray of devotion, the Ray of love for God, the Ray of mystics and also the Ray of the
fanatics. Their main characteristics can be observed in human beings, in the richness of inner life
those who vibrate with their energy.
Characteristics of the Sixth Ray.

intense emotions and their own truths taken to the extreme of considering them universal are the characteristics of this

to others. Fanaticism then takes its maximum expression here, in this Ray, and can lead to excesses, such as the
occurred during the time of the Inquisition.
The cohesion among the kingdoms of nature.
On a planetary level, the Sixth Ray acts as a force of cohesion between the different kingdoms of nature; as an analogy
inferior of the Second Ray, this force of cohesion allows the exchange of substance among beings between the different kingdoms
that inhabit this planet. Remember that each of the kingdoms feeds its neighbors, thus, mineral forms are

the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom, and the same between the animal kingdom and the human; likewise, exchanges are possible between
the human kingdom and the mineral, the vegetable and the animal, and likewise, the human kingdom also has energy exchange and
matter with the higher kingdoms.
The energy exchange occurs through mental energies and higher bodies, the exchange of matter occurs

and through the energy flows that descend from the higher bodies and rise through the channels that we have already
previously identified in other series.
The regulation of energy flows.
The Sixth Ray has as an important function the regulation of these flows of exchanges between the different kingdoms and, for
the same, it is an activator, just like the Third Ray, of the currents that descend and ascend, connecting each one
of the manifestations of this planet with the cosmic centers that direct the life and destinies of this region of
universe.
In certain aspects, the Sixth Ray is also a Ray of love, the Ray of cohesion, the Ray that attracts energy towards
the center of forms. In man, this manifests as a richness of inner life, in plants this can be

The Sixth Ray and Christianity.
The Sixth Ray is the one that inspired Christianity throughout its manifestation in the Age of Pisces; the truths brought by
our brother Jesus, opened before the eyes of men a spiritual world that had remained hidden within
of each being. At energy levels, this meant that the attention that human beings paid to the world of forms,
was beginning to balance now by also attending to the needs of her inner self. Thus, the flows
the energies that humanity was manifesting were no longer just moving from the internal to the external, but also,
they closed cycles returning to the inner self of man. The purpose of this spiritual religious movement was,
precisely, accelerate the evolution of human beings, focusing energies and their attention on the internal aspects of
to be; the Sixth Ray allowed man to rediscover himself, looking inward at something he had ignored throughout his
history.
The Sixth Ray and the spiritual schools.
For the disciples of the light, the Sixth Ray is a Ray of great help, its use allows the student to strengthen the contact.
with your inner Master, it allows you to open the channels of communication and start developing a spiritual love towards everything
the beautiful and great that exists in all human nature. For this reason, the work of the Sixth Ray within the schools

This is the evolutionist paradox, this is where transmutation and evolution meet, where both
Concepts are achieved. Evolutions are nothing but small transmutations that produce a continuous expansion.
Thus the Rays, although each one different from the others, their emanations are so closely spaced that to the eyes of the
immortal spirit, it seems to be the same light acquiring different shades. Cycles follow one after another and their
effects shape the course of history.
The Ray of Magic.
Now it is time to study the Seventh Ray, which closes the cycle, the point where everything is transformed; it is the Ray of magic by

Ray through which the greater and transmuting forces of the universe act; it is the Ray that causes change, the one that

from one cycle to the next.
Properties of the Seventh Ray.
The transmuting properties of this Ray have been talked about intensely, and multiple examples can be given that,

The Ray of Transmutation.
Indeed, the Seventh Ray is the Ray of transmutation, the Ray of the violet flame, that force that was granted to the
planet as part of a catalyst process of human evolution, as part of the master plan, that one day, long ago,
many centuries, outlined for this humanity. The mentors of the earth have carefully delineated each one of the
different stages through which this humanity is advancing, and it was necessary that at this time, there was a vehicle, a
instrument that would allow man to leave the state of the maya in which he was and penetrate directly into the light, the
power, to dissolve all the anguish and mental unrest.
This power resides in the violet flame, although this fire can act on sick matter, on unwanted situations.

Not only can this energy do this type of work, in the past another power was granted to humanity: the
power of will. This other energy whose contribution comes from the First Ray is a blue energy that can be

Qualities of the Seventh Ray.
The qualities of this Ray are order, ceremony, rituals, magic, protocol, adherence to procedures and
everything related to diplomacy and education, the Seventh is, without a doubt, the Ray of the
refinements, the Ray of the small details, the Ray of protocols and likewise in its highest aspect is the

that rely on their mental powers, on their internal powers and act on materials by modifying them, creating
situations, promoting changes, liberating agents, we could say, of undesirable conditions, instruments of
higher wills, bearers of energy that accelerates the evolutionary process.
This is the Seventh Ray, a gift that humanity has yet to discover, a power that at the moment only the
initiates use an energy available to everyone, although wasted by many.

STUDY ON THE SEVEN RAYS
The Fourth Ray, known as the Energy Transformer, harmonizes conflicts by synthesizing opposing theories and contradictory teachings, bringing order out of conflict. It manifests in great negotiators and leaders who unify diverse opinions in society. In nature, it regulates chaotic molecular arrangements in minerals, balances ecological struggles in plant communities, and acts on atmospheric disturbances to harmonize weather patterns despite human-driven pollution .
The Planetary Logos, as the hidden receiver of the Solar Logos's will, manifests through the Great White Brotherhood, serving as the Logos's body of manifestation. This organization coordinates spiritual evolution on Earth by acting through the Hierarchy, guiding humanity and other planetary kingdoms towards alignment with divine will. It reflects a structure within which spiritual evolution proceeds through a regulated, collective interaction .
The First Ray acts as the destroyer and preparer of forms, facilitating the evolution of species and societies by ending their cycles when they have completed their purpose. It removes, destroys, and prepares for the new by affecting plant species, mineral formations, and human societies, as well as contributing to the fall of empires. This process reflects how the First Ray clears the path for subsequent creation and renewal, highlighting its transformative role in universal creation .
The Second Ray of Love-Wisdom, through its builders, promotes ecological harmony by enabling the growth of movements focused on ecological balance. This Ray acts on ecosystems previously prepared by the First Ray, paving the way for harmonious coexistence of plants, minerals, animals, and humans in future ecological parks. The impact is a human society that aligns more closely with divine will, showcasing a transformative implication for future human activity and environmental responsibility .
The First Ray influences societal consciousness by instigating conflicts, such as wars, which serve to jolt human awareness and revive spiritual reserves. These conflicts transform into inner battles of consciousness, catalyzing the evolution of a more balanced, loving, and just society. The scars of war become seeds for a new social order, fostering higher levels of consciousness and prompting growth amid previous imbalances .
Understanding and aligning with the Seven Rays hold profound educational implications, as they provide insight into divine cosmic plans, guiding personal and societal evolution towards enlightenment. Mastery of these Rays offers a framework for understanding universal energies at work, fostering personal growth, improved societal harmony, and fostering connections that bridge personal intuition with cosmic principles, facilitating deep spiritual insight and practical awareness .
The Second Ray possesses transformative potential by aligning societal activities with cosmic energies of Love-Wisdom, particularly evident in environmental and constructive efforts. As builders respond to infrastructure needs caused by environmental degradation, the Second Ray guides harmonious construction endeavors that bring ecological balance, manifesting divine intent in tangible forms and encouraging sustainable, spiritually aligned development .
The Fourth Ray functions as a point of convergence, tuning Primary Rays into Secondary Rays by facilitating their appropriate expression in the physical world. This role is crucial for transforming energies to a frequency suitable for planetary forms and climates, and it harmonizes the atmospheric forces, underscoring its essential cosmic function of ecological and atmospheric regulation and transformation at a planetary level .
The Fourth Ray impacts the mineral kingdom by reorganizing molecular arrangements, creating order within mineral structures like crystals, reflecting its role in cosmic creation principles. In the plant kingdom, it regulates ecological activities, resolving individual conflicts for survival and maintaining species equilibrium. These roles highlight the Fourth Ray's natural mandate to organize and balance inherent chaos, reinforcing cosmically aligned natural order .
The Hierarchy serves as an intermediary between the Divine Will, represented by the Solar Logos, and human actions. This regulating group ensures the expression of this will through the Planetary Logos, manifesting as the Great White Brotherhood. The Hierarchy does not solely influence humanity but extends its mediation across all planetary kingdoms, acting as a connective bridge through which the ordered application of divine plans is realized within the confines of creation .
