- The constellations in groups of three transmit the seven influences of the seven rays to
our planet, via the Sun, and the relationships which I am here indicating are only those
in connection with our Earth. They do not apply in relation to others of the planets in
our solar system, where the configuration of the relationship is different. This is
dependent upon the nature of the etheric web through which all transmission of energies
takes place. The lines of approach might be indicated as follows: [605]
- This diamond
shaped formation of the interrelated energies is the prototypal pattern which lies behind
the etheric network and is its final, conditioning influence as far as our Earth is
concerned. It is hinted at in the reference to the "diamond soul" of which the
Buddha is an exponent. This is necessarily a deep mystery but the correlation is
interesting and guaranteeing.
- These seven
ray energies, expressing the divine prototypal will in seven forms, are as follows:
Ray I - The will to initiate.
Ray II - The will to unify.
Ray III - The will to evolve.
Ray IV - The will to harmonize or relate.
Ray V - The will to act.
Ray VI - The will to cause.
Ray VII - The will to express.
When their full creative work is completed, there will emerge a "something else or
other" for which we have no name but which will be the seed of the next solar system.
This third solar system will express the divine will, as this is slowly developed through
the experiment and experience of the divine love.
- These seven
ray aspects of the will, which are the goal of the higher initiations and which embody
that which the Masters Themselves are struggling to understand, is that which flowers in
the Monad when souls have reached perfected expression through humanity. They express
themselves where humanity is concerned as:
Ray I - That which incites to and produces initiation.
Ray II - That which is the cause of vision or the Power to see. [606]
Ray III - That which develops sensory perception into knowledge, knowledge into wisdom and
wisdom into omniscience.
Ray IV - That which is the illumined will, the basis of buddhi or the intuition.
Ray V - That which is the cosmic seed of liberation. This is an aspect of destruction.
Ray VI - That which is the cause of the thought-form building faculty, related to the
creative urge.
Ray VII. - That which can be called the principle of order.
- Just as
desire has produced this "son of necessity," our solar system, there lies behind
all the energies of the Heart of God and all the forces which have produced the manifested
universe that which is the result of divine need. It is neither the cosmic correspondence
of brain or mind or focused intention, as you might surmise. It is that synthetic
something which produces cohesion and results in fruition or synthesis as the effect or
final result of manifestation.
