The 7 Sacred Rays

In the here and now, there is a collective evolution happening on planet Earth. During the sudden onset of psychosis symptoms would be a great time to explore spiritual jargon.

We don’t have to be spiritual to enjoy traditional astrology and sign up for daily horoscope. But those of us that are on the spiritual journey take advantage of astrology’s conscious big sister, esoteric astrology.

This astrological system can reveal what it is that our soul seeks. This post will saunter through the Seven Rays of Light and how they affect each one of us.

What about the Seven Rays?

The Seven Rays are the orchestration of all existence. They are seven fundamental qualities that manifest from the one creator. When light is projected through a prism, it fragments into seven colors.

These seven qualities are each different but have an equal amount of importance to the one light. They are the foundation of everything in manifestation and the primary energies that permeate all that we are.

With the rule of Three become Seven, wherein any three items; A, B, C, can combine in exactly seven ways, Rays 1 – 3 are aspect. Corresponding with the Holy Trinity they are the foundation of creation. The remaining four Rays are attributed from the third Rays intelligence.

The energy of septenary correspondences:

  • 7 spirits before the throne • 7 Archangels in Christianity
  • 7 sacred planets • 7 Rishi Lords in Hinduism
  • 7 continents • 7 Sephiroth in Kabbalah
  • 7 colors of the rainbow • 7 Cohans in Buddhism
  • 7 chakras • 7 Holy Immortals in Zoroastrianism
  • 7 endocrine glands • 7 Gods of Good Luck in Shinto
  • 7 musical notes • 7 wonders of the world
  • 7 days of the week • 7 seas

“There is naught in the world but energy, the Atom of atoms is only energy and God itself is naught but energy.”

Master Djwhal Khul

The Rays are seven forces that generate the universe and everything in it. They come from three primordial aspects of manifestation: consciousness, substance, and energy.

Expressions of the Seven Rays

These cosmic origins are interconnected through a network of energy streams. The Seven Rays also condition planetary affairs.

Color Vibrations

It seems like contradictions of color are in various literature and teachings, but this is because we experience the Rays through color and sound. Esoteric understandings say these colors will vary intuitively with different harmonics and vibrations.

Generic Colors:

“… when a man’s Ray is known, stimulation will come from the use of his own colour, a building-in will be brought about by the use of his complementary colour, and disintegration of unwanted matter will be brought about by the use of an antagonistic colour.”

Alice A. Bailey, Body, Mind & Spirit
