SEVEN RAYS WORKSHOP - A Website dedicated to Djwhal Khul and Dr. Michael Robbins

This small website was created to further the momentum of subtle body awareness happening in these times. If you are interested in how the Seven Rays affect each subtle body, you may find this website useful. The thoughts presented here are usually associated with esoteric psychology. The Seven Rays color every form in the universe. On this website we look at how they affect humans.

It may be helpful to think of yourself as a large funnel of energy becoming more concentrated and solid as the energy travels toward the narrow opening at the bottom. As it proceeds downward from Spirit, it passes first through very fine and expansive matrices which are "you" and as it continue downward, it filters through denser matrices of mental, emotional, and physical matter. You can reach back along any circumference of the funnel for a different perspective of "you". The seven rays do not create the funnel, but the whole funnel is colored be a unique mixture of them. The funnel is created by your desire to be separate from Spirit and to experience the"earthiness" of the senses. The whole earthy perspective was created by you, not by Spirit, though it can be said that you started with a spiritual blueprint to create denser and denser interpretations of yourself.

There are perhaps no self conscious forms in the universe as dense as humans. (and we ask if there is other intelligent life out there!) The only way to reach back through the funnel toward the original blueprint is to invest less and less energy in the emotional and mental realms. To accomplish this, it helps to know which rays color these vehicles. Then you can begin to extract the color from them, leaving them as clear, limpid, but vastly more potent tools of service.

" Tapestry of the Gods" by Dr.Michael Robbins, provides a wonderful detailed profile of each ray's effect on each subtle body. It can be read in full or downloaded at the Makara website. All I have done is convert excerpts of this pdf book into sections that can be accessed on this website. If you are looking for a profile of a 2nd ray mental body then click and up pops that excerpt. For illustration I am (going from soul to physical) 2-2-4-1. What is in those four numbers reveals me in the most fundamental way and is a continual source of wonder, joy, frustration, and unfoldment. I hope this website provides you with insights as well.

You are one standing wave (or frequency) of energy nested inside another and another, and... Like many hat boxes nested inside each other or a many layered jello mold. The inside jello layer is the physical body.. Your emotional (astral) body surrounds the physical body then the mental body, then the causal body (Soul's perspective), then a monadic body or Spirit. When you shake one layer, all the layers vibrates to the note of the one that is shaken. This information can be very useful for determining your ray profile. If you are having an emotional experience, all your subtle bodies will vibrate in unison with the emotional ray. The same is true for physical and mental experiences. Notice how your thought patterns change under physical, emotional and mental activities. Since each of the layers is qualified by only one of seven rays, it won't be too difficult to figure them out.

How these standing waves came to be fills all esoteric literature and can be a lifetime study. It is said that as we separated ourselves from Source, we very gradually became denser and denser in matter. The Bible can be read as one man's struggle back through the standing waves to Source by synthesizing His standing waves into mirror like images of Source. All religions have this unifying theme of transmutation, transfiguration, crucifixion, and finally transformation.

The filters must be cleared to allow intuition to fill the void. Only then can you Know anything through your eternal lens. Words fail to describe the point that this is not a flowery hypothesis but a path to Knowing. It is a challenge. That is the unspoken hope of great religions; not that we believe or disbelieve but develop the "Inclination to Verify". How much time might it take to discover you are an eternal stream of malleable energy? And, with the shattering discovery of your timeless nature finally registered as unalterable fact in your brain, what difference would it make how long it takes ?

In esoteric psychology, man is viewed as a personality and a soul. The personality being the animal nature and the soul being the changeless, immortal aspect of each human. The personality is pictured as three distinct energy signatures that eventually blend into one. These are the physical (etheric) body, the emotional body and the mental body. The soul has a single energy signature. The seven energy signatures that color all life in the universe are known as the Seven Rays. They imbue a form with its quality.

Stars act as transmitting agents for the Rays. Our solar system is said to receive these Seven Rays from seven stars in the constellation of the Great Bear. Each one of those seven stars transmits its Ray to three constellations in our zodiac (so some of the twelve constellations receive more than one ray energy). As the energy from the constellations is absorbed by our Sun, (our Sun absorbs the 2nd Ray) they are stepped down (again) and absorbed by the planets in our solar system. Each planet is receptive to only one Ray. Our planet is receptive to the Third Ray of Active Intelligence from the Sun. (This is a subray of the Sun's 2nd ray.) All seven rays color our planet but they are sub rays of the Third Ray earth is receptive to. How these Rays effect man is both a study of esoteric psychology and esoteric astrology.

The idea of subrays can be confusing but it is important. Perhaps if you think of a harmonica it may help. Picture seven harmonicas on a table. They represent the seven possible integrated personality ray types. Each has a different tonal center. One may be in the key of F, another in the key of C, and so on. Yet, within each harmonica are three full octaves of notes. If you blow a C on an F harmonica, you get a C but it sprung from its F source. So where did the seven harmonicas come from? They are the potential children of a single Soul (a much larger harmonica) which can also have one of seven different ray colorings (tonal centers). The analogy can be extended to speak of the Sun as the soul of the seven sacred planets and our solar system to be one of seven solar systems in a yet unrecognized body, etc., until the whole universe is included. Steiner once commented that it make no difference if you search for the smallest particle or the largest galaxy, or use what's in front of your eyes; within what you study is a representation of the whole - from an atom to a human to a solar system etc.

In one human, an action, an emotion and a thought may be colored by three different rays. The mind may be colored by the 4th ray, the emotions by the 6th and the etheric by perhaps the 3rd ray. As the personality becomes more integrated, it takes on its own Ray. What was once three separate energy patterns becomes one and its note becomes clearer and clearer. The personality becomes quite fluid or potent with greatly reduced friction. You can see why some have said " Man is his own battlefield."

The next battle for control of where a man's consciousness will reside takes place between the integrated personality and the Soul. The Soul has no personal desire, no time or space constrains, and has no use for reasoning. It is pure intuition. This great battle brings a human to the 3rd initiation known as the transfiguration. When he passes through it, he sees life through his soul's eyes, no longer through his personality body. The personality is relegated (elevated ?) to serving humanity.

How can you determine your subtle body rays? First by understanding the energies themselves. Read about them and decide which one best fits your actions, your emotions, your mind and your Soul. You can open the links at the left to check and refine your guesses. The characteristics of each ray's influence on each subtle body are taken from "Tapestry of the Gods" Volumes 1 and 2.

I am very grateful to the author Dr. Michael Robbins, founder of Seven Rays University, for the beautiful and clear descriptions of each ray's speculated influence on the various subtle bodies. His carefull and consistent labor in esoteric psychology is a testament to the greatness and the continued amplification of One Who reintroduced us to the Seven Rays.
