The 7 Rays Of Divine Light: Our Souls Quest

Who am I?

This vital question seems troublesome to answer altogether. It is a question that is implored consciously or unconsciously every day of our lives. In all aspects of life, we examine answers to this "Who Am I" question of purpose. We often find it formidable to recognize the solutions in our relationships, the career path we follow, and the understandings we all hold are all unconscious attempts at answering this perplexing question.

Looking at this from a spiritual perspective, it is the search for the soul that is the quest,

• but how do we recognize the soul within, and

• is the essence of the soul equivalent for everyone?

We tend to believe that every human soul expresses the same essential qualities. Such assumptions, however, are only partially accurate. Though all souls are inherently conditioned by love beyond this commonality, significant variation exists.

The World's Seven Fundamental Types of Souls Today.

Before describing each soul type, it is necessary to note on the nature of light briefly, for it contributes an important analogy that will help comprehend soul variation.

When white light is casted through a prism, it divides itself into the seven colors in the visible spectrum. Each color is unique in itself, and each affects us a bit differently.

By analogy, when we analyze world religions, we also see that light is used as a symbol for divinity, the light of God, and just as white light divided itself into seven colors, so too does the light of God express itself in seven qualities.

In the ancient esoteric philosophy, these divisions of divine light are referred to as

The Seven Rays

and every human soul is found upon one of them.

Each of the rays conditions us. The ray's differences between people are related to the vehicle of consciousness that a ray is working through. For example,e, soul variations. To know that each of them noted below is a description of a soul type. Yet, in the broader sense, the Seven Rays condition all levels of human existence, including the varied aspects of one's character, even the lower selves.

Each of the rays conditions us. The ray's differences between people are related to the vehicle of consciousness that a ray is working through. For example,

a particular ray may prepare an individual’s emotional nature, yet for another person, that same ray may instead condition the mental body of his slasher personality.

Noone the less, the purpose of introducing the seven rays and describing them from the soul's perspective seems most fitting.

The Seven Rays Of Divine Light

Ray 1: The Ray of Divine Will & Purpose

This ray intends to reveal the purpose of divinity within the human kingdom. All life is evolving, and it is the objective of this ray to supply the power and direction to this evolutionary movement. Therefore, the function of the first ray of the soul is to express the power of divine purpose through loving strength and one-pointed vision. Its role is to shatter those forms that no longer adequately express the love of God. In the ancient records, this light was called The Lightning Which Annihilates, for it frees life from outworn modes of expression. It seeks to liberate humanity as a prelude to building a new societal form through which to express ourselves more radiantly.

Ray 2: The Ray of Love & Wisdom

The second ray conditions life with divine love. Its role is to reveal the unity that underlies all apparent diversity within creation. Love, as revealed through compassion and understanding, is how this ray is expressed for those whose souks are conditioned by it. It is the ray of inclusivity and relates all things to each other by revealing the love underlying outer events.

One of the ancient names for this divine radiation is the Cosmic Magnet, for it attracts all unto itself. Although all the rays are crucial to humanity's development, none are of greater importance than the second ray. According to ancient records, this ray governs the life of our entire solar system.

Ray 3: The Ray of Intelligence & Activity

The third ray relates to the expression of divine intelligence. Essentially, this ray provides the underlying intelligence in all of nature. Concerning the human kingdom, it is the force that animates human thought. Its purpose is to reveal the mind of God within the human consciousness of humanity and to give spiritual understanding to all human activity

For the souls upon the third ray, their purpose is to reveal divine intelligence by demonstrating the interconnectedness of all ideas. In addition, this is the ray most associated with karma, for it holds the memory of what was and is to be. For this reason, the primeval name used to identify this ray was the Keepers of the Recorders.

Ray 4: The Ray of Harmony Through Conflict

The fourth ray is the force that creates a longing for equilibrium and beauty. Within the manifested universe, all existence is received dualistically. Indeed, all experiences can be seen in opposite ways. The function of this ray is to find balance and resolution to these warring dualities ever-present within the human experience. People governed by the fourth ray tend to see both sides of the opposing perspectives immediately and will persistently seek to harmonize them. The beauty of divinity is what is desired, for when harmony is achieved, beauty emerges. Within all expressions of life, there is a hidden seed of spiritual connection, and it is this that the fourth ray soul yearns to find. For this reason, one of the ancient names for this ray is the seed that is the Flower.

Ray 5: The Ray of Concrete Knowledge & Science

The fifth ray is the ray that clarifies divinity through the pursuit of correct knowledge. Its role is to create within human consciousness the ability to discern truth from fiction. A scientifically precise examination of reality clarifies what is observed in our world. The one whose soul is upon the fifth ray will often dedicate their lives to finding scientific solutions and truth to humanity's problems. His slasher spiritual purpose demonstrates that reasoned knowledge helps us understand the spiritual realm underlying all we witness within creation. In the archives, this ray was called The Dispenser of Knowledge as a way to proclaim its mission.

Ray 6: The Ray of Idealism and Devotion

This is the ray that brings vision and spiritual aspiration to humanity. Indeed, its mandate is to bestow the concept of divinity to those receptive to it. During the last several centuries, this radiation has shaped human awareness, a yearning for the spirit within. It has lifted our eyes to gaze upwardly and to know that something much more significant than life as we know it awaits those who aspire towards the light within.

People whose souls reside upon the sixth ray tend to devote themselves to ideals that have the power to lift humanity into the realm of spirit. To them, the path to enlightenment is idealism and letting go of human desire, for desire is recognized as an anchor preventing one from the upward ascent. In ancient literature, this ray has been called The Negator of Desire.

Ray 7: The Ray of Ceremonial Order and Magic

The seventh ray is best known for bringing order out of chaos. Its purpose is to provide the energy needed to translate spiritual ideas into tangible realities. Through its influence, the manifestation of divinity is made possible. This ray influences humanity to outwardly create according to divine intention. An individual with a seventh ray soul is a true Magician. They are naturally able to create positive change in the world. This is achieved through the power of the spoken or written words and the ability to build outer forms that can anchor profound spiritual principles. Such a person understands the magical power of speech as an instrument for creating new structures through which divinity can be expressed. It is, therefore, it is not surprising that the ancient name is The Keeper of the Magical Word.

From one perspective, there is truth in the notion that all souls are the same. For every soul is the radiation coming from one light, the one light itself. GOD. Yet, considering the soul as expressed through personality, all souls are not identical. As I have briefly attempted to illustrate, there are seven types of souls, each conveying a unique divine quality and intention. Each has something spiritual essential as a service to humanity's betterment.

The journey to enlightenment is more than simply finding the soul-deep within oneself. Discerning its nature and quality is also essential. Through such realization, more of the soul can be effectively expressed in one's life. In truth, knowing the quality ray of the soul is to discover the unique spiritual mission we are each here to fulfill.
