Keynotes:
The great 7th
or Violet Ray can be viewed as both destroyer of the form and
its regenerator.
The 7th Ray
Logos, Uranus, epitomizes the harmony in creation, its unity in
diversity (as above so below).
The 7th Ray
is the energy needed to bring order out of chaos, and rhythm to
replace disorder.
It is this energy
which will bring in the new world order for which all men wait;
it will restore the ancient landmarks, indicate the new institutions
and forms of civilization and culture which human progress demands,
and nurture the new life and the new states of consciousness which
advanced humanity will increasingly register.
Nothing can arrest
this activity; all that is happening today as men search for the
new ways, for organized unity and peaceful security, is being implemented
through the incoming Ray of Order or Ceremonial Magic. The white
magic of right human relations cannot be stopped; it must inevitably
demonstrate effectively, because the energy of this seventh ray
is present, and the Lord of the Ray is cooperating with the Lord
of the World to bring about the needed "reforming."
Outgoing period:
1675 - 5175 A.D.
The prime function
of the Lord of the seventh ray is to perform the magical work of
blending spirit and matter in order to produce the manifested form
through which the life will reveal the glory of the Lord of the
World. The Violet Color Light will consequently have a very profound
effect upon the physical plane, for not only is this plane coming
under its cyclic force, but at all times Uranus as the 7th ray planetary
Logos has a special effect upon the etheric.
Hence in the matter
of the 7th plane (which is the body of the Raja-Lord, and the host
Agnichaitans) certain very definite events are occurring which -
though invisible to the ordinary man - are apparent to the eye of
the spiritual man or adept. Constructive results transpire in the
negative etheric matter of the plane and on the four higher sub-planes.
On the lower three a contrary effect is produced, and the energy
of the Planetary Logos leads to the destruction of form, preparatory
to the building work. The building ever originates on, and proceeds
from, etheric levels.
The 7000-year
greater movement of the 7th Ray is the precise mathematical rhythm
of its spiral cyclic motion concerned with the building of a new
civilization, the shifting of the present civilization without its
utter destruction from one major expression to another major expression,
from the expression of the Sixth or Red Ray of Devotion to the expression
of the Violet Ray of Divine Law and Order, or the Divine Order of
Man.
The greater 7000-year
period of the seventh ray is bringing into expression the devotional
vision and, that which constituted the high ideals of the preceding
great cycle of sixth ray activity. The 6th ray prepared the way
for the 7th ray, and the reason for this numerical sequence in order
at this time is dependent upon the Plan of the Lord of the World.
It is not often
that two rays follow each other in a regular numerical sequence,
such as is now happening, and when it is the case, there eventuates
a rapid following of effect upon cause.
The Violet Ray raises
not only the evolutionary keynote of humanity as well the vibration
of any and every plane. As man becomes spiritualized and raises
himself from one plane to another, he raises with himself every
atom of matter that belongs to his special planetary center. The
higher evolution of the Violet Ray is raising the keynote vibration
of the earth so that man may advance another rung of the ladder
in the cosmic scale.
There is constant
interaction between the Ruler of the earth and the atoms - humanity
- that form his body, which are the atoms that make up the physical
man. It is impossible for Humanity to raise his own collective individuality
without raising the consciousness of the other kingdoms in nature
and, in fact, everything connected with him. This extends as far
as the human auric circumference, and it affects all planes of manifestation
from the physical to the soul plane. Humanity, matter, substance,
force are constantly evolving.
In this present
period of transition, from out of the 6th Great Age, the Lord of
the seventh ray is taking over the control of planetary affairs
and the ordered working out of the Plan, so as eventually to restore
stability to the planet and give the incoming Aquarian zodiacal
influences a stable and extended field in which to work, on both
the 2500-year and 25,00-year sweeps of the lesser and the greater
"Wheels".
1st sub-ray:
1675 - 2175
Paralleling the
birth of the Vulcan inspired 1st sub-ray period of the great 7th
ray Age began the cycle of radical revolution in the governments
of the world. The cycle of liberation, freedom and migration begins
in a powerful wave. America comes to birth, the key landmark symbol
of the 1st sub-ray period.
A large number of
old and powerful 7th ray magicians, psychics and occultists have
come back into incarnation. The Violet door has been opened for
their return and the dynamically pronounced 1st ray period has produced
the rapid growth of recognized psychic and paranormal occult powers
among people all over the world. Increased facility in approaching
the Path has been demonstrated with Hierarchical opportunity offered
to all for accelerated spiritual and Initiatory development. This
is based on the fact that so many of existent humanity have already
attained in the cycle of previous births the requisite personal
knowledge of the ruling powers and forces, are already on the Probationary
Path, or are initiates of the first degree or higher.
Under the auspices
of the first ray period, three of the great hallmark 7th ray initiates,
who opened the door to the 7th Ray radioactive cycle were the two
Curries and Millikan. It was they who rendered the first scientific
interpretation of the 7th ray type of force or energy. Being themselves
seventh ray souls, the Tibetan informs us, they had the necessary
psychic equipment and inherent responsiveness to enable them intuitively
to recognize their own 7th ray vibration in the 7th or mineral kingdom."
2nd sub-ray:
2175 - 2675
The 2nd sub-ray
of the seventh ray will bring to the consciousness of the coming
initiates the full concept of group service and sacrifice. It will
foster the training and sending forth of groups of initiates, working
in close unison with the Plan and with each other. It is they that
will flower in "divine service," and present the vision
of the giving of the individual in sacrifice and service, within
the group and to the group ideal. This will be the goal of the masses
of the advanced units while for the rest of humanity brotherhood
will be the keynote of their endeavor.
Under the 2nd sub-ray
we shall witness the change in the theories of the advanced thinkers
of the race into the facts of the educational systems of the period.
Education and the growth of the understanding of illumination in
all fields will be regarded as synonymous ideals.
3rd sub-ray:
2675 - 3175
Astrophysical and
astronomical sciences will reach new heights and the essential nature
of the universe will be known and seen in new terms of illumined
cosmic discoveries. New communication technologies will exist undreamt
of today.
The new forms of
the global economy of the world federation of nations, based on
barter and exchange, without financial motivation, will be instituted
and securely in place. Energy will be free to all peoples due to
the unlocking of the universal power of the atom, thus, the drudgery
of slavery, the era of oil dependence, or fossilized fuels, will
be over. The Economy of the One Life will be brought into right
planetary adjustment, rhythm and balance.
4th sub-ray:
3175 - 3675
The culture, art,
music, drama and architecture of the 7th ray civilization will reach
great new heights. World cosmopolis building, great city planning,
magnificent newly designed cathedrals, city edifices, buildings,
stadiums will be built in accordance with divine geometry and sacred
mathematics. The new forms of the 7th ray civilization will be glowing,
radiant and alive, showing the inner within the outer through the
display of warmth, color, sound, music and vibration. New beautiful
harmonious art forms, shapes and structures will arise integrated
into a healthy natural landscape. A fresh tempo tuned to a new high
amplitude of artistic freedom and mode of being will liberate into
active expression the leading genius, in all fields, of the 4th
sub-ray period.
The principal healing
in the field of medicine will be through the new scientific procedures,
techniques and methods of bringing together soul and body. The principle
focus will be on the 4th etheric sub-plane and etheric vision a
common assest to the leading healers of the period.
5th sub-ray:
3675 - 4175
Increased mental
activity and the spread of education (of the concrete mental kind)
everywhere will result in increased competition between units and
between groups, the organization of business on lines hitherto undreamt
of. The 5th sub-ray will lay the foundation of groups and aggregations
of groups whose sole purpose will be to synthesize all the lines
of human endeavor, and thus bring about unification of effort, and
economy of force in the scientific, business, philosophic, educational,
and religious worlds.
Also founded coeval
with the 5th ray period will be the schools of medicine along new
lines, whose purpose will be to study the vital or etheric body,
its relation to the dense physical body, and its function as the
receiver, storer, and transmitter of the vital fluids of the system.
The 5th ray science
of psychology will carry forward knowledge of the soul with precise
scientific comprehension of the constitution of man unknown of today.
The methods of all 5th ray schools such as medicine , psychology,
healing or education will principally utilize color, sound and vibration.
6th sub-ray:
4175 - 4675
The 6th sub-ray
under the Lord of Devotion and idealism will convey to man the power
to recognize the cosmic Christ, and to produce the scientific religion
of Light which will enable man to fulfill the command of the historical
Christ to permit his light to shine forth. It will inaugurate that
era of scientific understanding of the purpose of Sanat Kumara that
will foster the 6th ray inspired religious synthesis. The Church
of the New World Religion will be flourishing demonstrating the
new idealism through definitely prepared mental forms. It will have
for its basis the scientific recognition of the unseen world and
its due appreciation and apprehension by means of accurate scientific
religious ceremonial.
This ceremonial
of the universal church - being founded on the mental unity of all
peoples - will not be ceremonial as it is now understood, as it
will be the guarded, guided, scientific utilization of sound and
color to bring about certain desired ends. Some of these results
are the aligning of the Ego, the influencing of groups, the making
of contact with the Occult Hierarchy, the cooperation with the devas
in order to further the constructive ends of evolution. These and
many other effects will follow the utilizing of the scientific comprehension
of the constitution of man, the nature of vibration or radioactivity,
and the demonstrated reality of the hitherto metaphysical hypothesis
and religious dogma of the unseen world of thought and of spiritual
existence.
7th sub-ray:
4675 - 5175
The 7th sub-ray
period of the greater 7th ray cycle will be the most intense and
dynamic giving full color and display to the motion and movement
of the Lord of the Violet Ray.It will foster the group spirit, and
the rhythm of the group, the objectives of the group, and the ritual
working of the group will constitute the basic phenomena. By this
period of time development of etheric vision will be universal and
the scientific recognition of the existence of the etheric levels.
The 7th ray group
of scientists connected with electrical manifestation will work
out and be permitted to commit to paper in mathematical formula
the science of sound with its laws of radioactivity and electrical
Phenomena.
The 7th ray "words"
or mantrams will be given out and used for the manipulation of matter
and its bending into form along the line of motion of the 7th ray
Age. It will consequently be known that the utterance of sound along
the line of force will both utilize deva activity to affect certain
results in connection with the form side of manifestation, and will
drive the life within the form to definite action.
High water mark:
5175 A.D.
The intensification
of the Violet Color Light will continue until A.D. 5175, when there
will come a cycle of relative stability and of steady shining without
much augmentation. It will then gradually decline in influence for
the next 3,500-year ingoing breath period of activity, wrecking
the previously built forms on the outgoing cycle prior to rebuilding
the new forms on the next out breath period in A.D. 8675.
Through the ceremonial
rhythm of the 7th ray Lord the scientific culture of the ritual
of world service and the rite of group Initiation will have flowered.
The subordination
of the lower life of humanity to the ritual of planetary service
will result in the tuning-in of the individual and collective units
to the rhythm of the life, heart and mind of Sanat Kumara, the Lord
of the World Himself.
