“Identity is actually a highly organised, divinely emanated pattern of interrelated rays or frequencies.”
You might have been sitting in a Science class at some point in time and seen the way white light refracts and disperses through a glass Pyramid. It hits the surface of the pyramid at a specific angle and disperses into the seven rainbow colours. This same white light also radiates into you and creates the seven Rays of your being. This light is the light of Love, the Universe, or God, whichever word you are attracted to most at this point on your initiatory path. So, in essence you are rocking the seven rainbow colours in your very own being. How cool!
The Rays radiate into the chakras. We focus a lot on the chakras in some circles. Up to date there has been loads written on the psychological function of the chakras and some of us love getting into that. It is actually the seven Rays that radiate a specific quality within each chakra.
If you have read this far and would like to read more about the Rays, I give the basics here as it is a very vast Science. It also needs some study and practise to allow the Mind to open to the teachings of the Soul.
Basics you need to know on your study of the Rays:
There are seven Rays and each one lights up a specific chakra.
Each Ray has a very specific quality to it.
The Rays can be expressed in a healthy and unhealthy way.
The Rays express each; a specific set of vices and virtues depending on if they are in a healthy or unhealthy state
The vices express the specific Glamours for that ray.
The virtues express the specific Soulful qualities for that Ray.
We can work with our Rays by working with the vices/virtues and the Glamours.
Our Soul incarnates with a specific Ray. The mental body, the emotional and the physical body also has a specific Ray quality.
The Rays can move around depending on the overall physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health of your being. This means that the chakras will be expressing a different quality of a Ray all together, or expressing the negative qualities of the Ray.
A healthy sequence of the Rays is from crown to base in the following order: Ray 1, Ray 5, Ray3, Ray 2, Ray 6, Ray 7 and Ray 4. In an unhealthy state the rays are as follows form crown to base: Ray 1, Ray 4, Ray3, Ray2, Ray 6, Ray 5, Ray 7.
Your relationship with your Soul, the holy trinity of body, Soul and Monad will teach you about the Rays…so, guess what I am going to say, YOU NEED TO MEDITATE and have a daily practise :)
“We have to be receptive to the Soul, we have to learn to calm down.”
Buddha Maitreya the Christ
Ray Science is never ending, I suggest taking in small doses and focusing on the bits where you can practise on expressing the virtues. This is practical and you don’t need to understand everything to just get cracking on… Join a class with me, if you don’t want to do it alone
We want to practise the virtues actively in our daily lives. All so that we can express our Soulful qualities in the world through the Healthy Rays. The vices we carry can become transformed. If you don’t like the words vice and virtue, then have a look at the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: Ashtanga Yoga. The Yamas and Niyamas give us the same teaching as vice and virtue. It is two very prominent limbs of the eight limbs of Yoga. They are essential for any of the other practises we commence like Asana, Pranayama or Meditation, to have any effect.
In short, if you do a lot of practise and Meditation but you are an asshole to others and to your environment, your practise will not bring you Bodhicitta, wisdom, spiritual maturity or enlightenment. We practise in the world, with the world but we are not of the world.
Allrighty, so next we have to look at the different qualities of the Rays.
I am going to give some brief notes, if you want to go deeper into this, I suggest getting in touch with the books “Tapestry of the Gods Vol 1 and 2”. Not everything in there is going to help you and a lot of it is from an Astrological perspective. Skip the Astrological interpretations as this is not very accurate. Channeled texts always have their issues, we need to cross verify and you might want to do that or not. Buddha Maitreya also has very deep teaching on the Science of the Rays.

“Although all energy is, essentially, but one energy (and all motion, but one motion), there are (for practical purposes) types of energy that can be differentiated from one another by their rates of motion or vibration, i.e., by their frequencies. Thus, despite the underlying, essential identity of all energies, there appear to be limitless kinds or differentiations of energy in the manifested worlds. It is these differentiations of energy which account for the distinct identities of individual entities.” Tapestry of the Gods
If you want to open your mind further….we can also look at the rays throughout history. They also cycle through out the times. Certain periods in history will be influenced by certain Rays. Maybe you can see which rays have influenced certain major periods in history?
