The 7 Energies Of Human Existence.
As many of you know, we all live and love within a universal, unified field of energy we’re all learning how to master. These energies are everywhere, eternal, and all-pervasive. As we are intelligent loving sparks of Light/Life within the larger Light/Life field we all are together. All of us learn how to master these energies throughout our lives. Today we revisit the 7 Rays, the primary energies of our existence.
These energies are to be mastered so we as Souls can bring forth our spiritual gifts in more effective forms. They are the energies we are learning how to master in order to live a life of wisdom and harmony. These 7 energies have infinite applications, both individually as well as blended, and by becoming aware of what to use and when, we naturally attune to the frequencies of Higher Awareness.
Today will be a preliminary introduction to these primary energies of human existence. The First Ray is Power. The Second Ray is Love-Wisdom. The Third Ray is Intelligence-in-action. The Fourth Ray is Harmony Through Friction. The Fifth Ray is Concrete Knowledge. The Sixth Ray is Devotion. The Seventh Ray is Ordered Activity. The Fourth Ray is said to "govern" Art. The Fifth Ray is said to "govern" Science. The Sixth Ray is said to "govern" religion, as well as all devotional exercises, such as the armed services in all nations. The Seventh Ray is the foundation of all disciplines, all ordering, all rituals and all forms of "karma yoga."
Each of us is a living combination of these 7 Ray energies in different proportions. We have primary Ray orientations which we determine by our personality inclinations and our choices in how we grow in effective responses to life’s challenges. While our primary orientation is usually steady, when we grow, our skills grow, and we learn all the other energies as “subtones” to our primary approaches. We are each unique in the larger Light/Life we dance within, and each of us fulfills our purpose for being here by learning how to use Archetypal Energies of Life in more skillful ways.
As we become more conscious we find others we harmonize with who are members of our true Community. We share Ray energies with many of them, but as with all life contacts, depending on what life chapter we’re in, sometimes we align with another’s energies more easily than at other times, and sometimes we don’t align well in any way at any time.
This teaches us about which types of people we more naturally relate to, and what truths we believe in. If everything in our reality is about frequency, then the Rays show us the nature of those frequencies of contact. The best contacts are when we each are using the 7 Ray energies skillfully to bring about mutually beneficial experiences we never could have had alone.
The 7 Rays are 7 distinct “frequency harmonics” pervading the greater energy field encompassing all Paths and all experiences. They infuse everything from our personalities to our Spiritual Disciplines to our friends and professions. These 7 energies are “bandwidths” showing us how energy itself relates to itself. They are how all forms and formless forms are created. They show us the nature of what IS, each describing a unique and interrelated energy with all the other Ray energies.
While each Ray describes a specific and distinct energy, they all work with each other in all human lives at various points. These Rays can be seen in every aspect of our lives and affairs, and by knowing which one(s) are in play we can become more comfortable with who we are, who we're not, and how to use these primary energies conditioning our existence. By learning how to blend certain energies, we can understand and improve any situation we find ourselves in.
By learning the requirements of each Ray, we learn what we are good at, as well as what we’re working on. By seeing how these energies are ever-present and we're all using some combination of them all the time, we can understand the "departments of labor and skill" in our Reality. That helps us become better in every way.
Astrology helps us know the timing on events and reasons why things happen when they do. At each crucial turning point in our experience we use one or more of these 7 energies to master those situations. Through our experience we also learn how to apply these energies in natural and grounded ways which confirm our progress or mark times when we need a change in tools or methods.
I was exposed to the Rays first through the Theosophical literature and then learned much more about them from the Alice A. Bailey teachings attributed to the Tibetan Master D.K. (known by other names through many incarnations). I have studied and observed them in operation for almost 50 years, and have seen the countless ways these 7 energies pervade our world and our human experience, manifesting in many ways as we each apply them in our own unique ways and times.
I have seen their applicability in psychology, philosophy, art, history, construction trades, and many areas of "natural" science. They are the means by which we master any skill or understanding, and they mark the stages of the process of accomplishing anything. Obviously, these 7 energies have their correspondences with the 7 Sacred Planets, 7 colors, 7 tones of the scale, 7 planes of consciousness, the 7 senses, the 7 directions, the 7 Ages of Humanity, the 7 traditional schools of Yoga, and probably even the 7 holes in our heads!
In part 2 we’ll take a look at each of the 7 Rays and their qualities. I’ll also give examples of how they show us why our personalities have qualities that have been shaped by various lessons over time, and how these 7 Ray energies can be consciously used to find strengths and overcome weaknesses. When we’re done with these articles you should be able to value why you are as you are, and see the full range of energies you have to accomplish your purposes as an eternal having a human experience.
