Part II - B: The 7 Rays & Departments

This is the first of a two part series on the Rays and Hierarchy, focused on Rays and Departments 1-7.

What are the Rays?

The rays can be described as vibrational frequencies of Divine Unfolding Light emanating from the Cosmic Heart of Mother/Father God. They bring with them particular qualities, colors, and sonic vibrations that are integrated within our various energy bodies, and allow us to be conscious of ourselves as these magical Beings of Light. They further assist in the activation of the dormant DNA, and the awakening to our multidimensional memories. As such, the influence of the rays can take us into a deeper understanding of our Light work, as well as giving insight into particular behavioral patterns we may still be integrating. http://www.pleiadianlight.net/page10a.htm

 Alice Bailey, through her channelings with Djwhal Khul, brought through much information on the first seven rays, and in recent years this has been expanded upon by authors and Spiritual facilitators such as Dr. Stone, Brain Grattan, and Janet McClure, to name a few.

Since August 7, 1972, there has been an additional five higher rays available to Humanity.

First Seven Rays and Spiritual Hierarchy

The twelve great rays spiral forth from the Cosmic Heart of Mother/Father God, Overlighted by the Twelve Directors at a Multi-Universal level, and move through each preceding dimension until they enter our Solar system. These rays bask the sacred and non-sacred Planets in our Solar system, and then spiral onto Earth, considered a sacred Planet, and into the second ray department of Love-Wisdom in Shamballa. They then spiral outward from the second ray department of Love-Wisdom into all ray departments, with a focused stream of Light radiating through the seventh ray department, and then into sacred vortices in and around the Earth.

The Hierarchy, in natural progression, is composed initially of 7 different Departments.

Ray - Department - Overseer /Dimension

1.The 1st Ray of Will or Power:

Comes at the present 25,000-year cycle from the Constellations Aries, Leo, and Capricorn. This is true for the present 25,000-year cycle and would be different in another cycle. The 1st Ray is the opening door to future expression. It is a clearing, a focusing, a beginning Force for necessary changes. This Ray was the first to be made manifest by the Creator, and manifests in our etheric bodies through our throat chakra, which is our centre for communication, and where thought becomes word and deed. The 1st Red Ray of Divine Will strengthens the ability to create and makes one an empowered light of God. The Ray is overlighted by Archangels Michael and Faith, and Elohim Hercules and Amazonia.

The Key word: Empowerment; Qualities: Will-to-good, individuality, vitality, singleness of purpose and clear vision; Chakra Center: Crown; Magical Images: Hermaphrodite. A mighty warrior on his chariot; Archetypes: Addict, judge and warrior.

Headed by Manu Jupiter; the earlier Manu was Vaivasvata Manu of the 5th root race. Vaivasvata Manu replaced one of the Kumaras, the First Buddha (Sanaka Kumara), who went on to greater experience. Sanaka chose the Path to Sirius (One of 7 Paths after the Ascension) as Manu of the 1st Ray on a Higher Level (Sirius, the Higher Self of The Solar Logos). The Chohan of the 1st Ray is Morya, who is also the Manu of the 6th root race. El Morya’s past incarnations include Abraham, Melchior, Thomas Beckett, Thomas More and the Moghul emperor Akbar the Great.

The Lord Arthur (King Arthur) had joined forces with El Morya to ensure that the templates of integrity, ethics and morals that hold the greatest good be practiced. They will serve through the world of economy, government and other institutions of power that currently affect humanity. Any of those who impact in a negative way, causing deliberate deprivation, poverty, suffering and pain will come under the sword of Excalibur. AA Michael serves with Lords Arthur and El Morya and Excalibur was returned to Lord Arthur for his period of service. AA Michael retains the sword of Christ and serves with Excalibur. All illusions within the world of business in all major organizations – financial, medical, legal, education, advertising, news – that impacts on humanity, depriving them of their free will, will come under the sword of Excalibur.

2. The Second Ray of Love-Wisdom

Earth receives a Major 2nd Ray of Love-Wisdom from a Higher Source (Cosmic), and after the 2nd Ray hits Earth, It divides into the 7 Rays. Thus, every Ray that we then receive is really a part of the Second Ray Energies, and the 2nd Ray is stronger, because It comes also from this main 2nd Ray source. The second blue Ray is the ray of illumination and wisdom; it helps integrate the vibrations of the 5th dimension.

The department is overlighted by Archangels Jophiel and Constance, and Elohim Apollo and Lumina; Keyword: Love; Qualities: Strength, patience and endurance, intuition, clear intelligence, radiance and faithfulness; Color: Blue; Chakra Center: Heart; Magical Images: Beautiful naked woman. Mighty crowned and throned king; Archetypes: Beggar, magical/innocent child.
Because of the Golden Age thrust, Sanat Kumara, the Buddha, Lord Maitreya and Kuthumi are aligning and.working on Earth changes to facilitate rapid growth. The present conditions that must be overcome include the traumas (karmic repercussions) of the causes previously set up by Humanity. This office works hand in hand with that of the Manu and the Mahachohan. It also has a special connection with the 4th ray. The Cosmic Christ is Lord Maitreya (Sanskrit maitri, meaning universal love) Who embodies the Christ Consciousness (Universal Christ) and is the Head of the Hierarchy in a special sense. He was the first human to reach enlightenment on Earth. He took the 3rd Initiation (Transfiguration or Soul Merge) in Atlantis.

The present Chohan is Lord Lanto, one of the first souls who came to Earth with Sanat Kumara. He was incarnated as the Duke of Chou, considered as the true founder of the Confucian tradition. Kuthumi has held the post of Chohan of the 2nd ray and took over as World Teacher (Planetary Christ) in the early 1980's. His work will culminate in his descent as an Avatar of the Christ Consciousness in the early stage of the Aquarian Age. He is moving into a new role as head of the 10 Golden Solar Archangels, an order associated with the dawning of the Golden Age. He has had past incarnations as Pythagoras, Thutmoses 3, St. Francis of Assisi, John the disciple, Balthazar, and Shah Jahan (the prince who had the Taj Mahal built). The Buddha (one of 3 Exoteric Kumaras) had developed when there was no facility for the 3rd Initiation. He took It with the Christ. This is the First Great Initiation of the Hierarchy. The Master DK, with 2 other young Masters, maintains a triangular energy pattern to bring to Earth a growth pattern, an opportunity for those that ask. The aspect emphasized is to anchor Joy.

Lady Master Guinevere has the role for now on the new Ascension Path to show all true love, specifically in the arena of relationships. Because so many relationships at this time are of a purely karmic nature, her energy is needed now more than ever. She is the Queen of Hearts; the Lady of Love. Her presence on the planet shifts the dynamics amongst relationships. She accelerates the healing process amongst all lovers, all of those in partnership be it simply as lovers, or as husband and wife. She works specifically with romantic love. Her wave, her energy, comes upon the pink ray. This pink vibration carries all men and women into the template of true love; ending what is now complete and manifesting the courage and the trust within the hearts of those having to undergo a separation to move forward into the future where they will unite with their counterpart who resonates in perfect alignment - in other words the relationships are no longer of a karmic nature but rather of mutual growth, illumination and celebration of love. (Kuthumi c/o Michelle Eloff, May 22, 2006).

3. The 3rd Ray of Active Intelligence

Is a practical work for the Creator. The third yellow Ray is the inner wisdom. Qualities: Mental illumination, capacity for concentration on philosophical studies, clear-mindedness, sincerity of purpose, and patience; Color: Yellow; Chakra Center: Throat; Magical Images: beautiful, very strong naked man; a child; sacrificed god; majestic king; Archetype: Advocate. Overlighted by Archangels Chamuel & Charity, and Elohim Heros & Amora; Keyword: Wisdom through Knowledge.

Those who respond to the Ray accomplish what others only think about, solving the world's practical problems. From the 3rd Ray, eminates the other 4 rays. The name of the Master is a title, MahaChohan, “Great Lord." He is responsible for holding and maintaining the integrity of all the Rays currently on Earth. The Energy from Him flows directly to the 3rd Aspect and breaks down 4-fold (Rays 4- 7). He is at the head of the Elemental kingdom; and is the authority over manifestations in nature. He draws and supplies the energy used in all nature and by mankind. He is the magnet to draw that power from the Sun. He directs the various forms of culture and civilizations through the minds of embodied individuals to unfold and develop according to the divine plan. He gives the first breath to every new born; He also takes the last breath. His task is particularly critical now because the Planet, not just a civilization, is at a critical point. He works closely with the Christ; the Manu; the Planetary Logos and the Solar Logos. He is said to have been embodied as the Greek poet Homer who wrote stories that featured Pallas Athena, his twin flame. Furhter, the Maha Chohan was purportedly the Guru of El Morya and Kuthumi.

Paul the Venetian was once the Chohan of the 4th Ray, but had been raised closer to Sanat Kumara and now works with the Mahachohan in bringing down the Higher Rays to Earth. He recieves direct inputs from and maintains an aspect of His Consciousness with the Solar Logos and his Representatives of Consciousness (the Kumaras). He also receives directives from the Christ because of changing, evolving growth within the Solar System and on Earth. His main role is to help ground the Higher Rays and to return simplicity to civilisations on Earth. His last embodiment was the artist Paulo Veronese. The Master Serapis Bey (the Egyptian), originally from Venus with Sanat Kumara, is now Chohan of the 3rd Ray, while retaining some work in the 4th Department He still works extensively with Deva Evolution. He is the Master of the Ascension flame and the Resurrection flame. His past incarnations included Amenhotep 111, who had the temple at Luxor built. He was the architect of the Great Pyramid. In the Etheric realms in Egypt, he still is responsible for carrying out Ascension initiations. He also incarnated as the Spartan King, Leonidas, and as Phidias, architect of the Parthenon. He ascended around 400 BC.

Lord Lancelot, assisted by Master Djwal Khul, comes with the third ray energy of active intelligence and a very powerful combination of spiritual and psychic energy. Djwal Khul works with Lord Lancelot to activate the energy in a harmonious and balanced fashion for the adolescents of the world. This vibration comes to empower the adolescents, those who are grappling with the fear of confusion, of turmoil and darkness, the lack of the understanding of the world – its cruelty, its hostility, and any aspect that does not make sense to the initiate in adolescent form. Lord Lancelot comes with all the tools to set these initiates free, for they are the leaders of the new world who prepare the way for those who are still in toddler form. Lord Lancelot can be called upon in any situation dealing with adolescents. (Kuthumi c/o Michelle Eloff, May 22, 2006).

4. 4th Ray 0f Harmony through Conflict is the Balance Ray

Is associated with the emotional, the Solar Plexus Chakra. The 4th emerald green Ray helps in healing and in balancing and harmonizing the emotional and mental bodies, and in stimulating the creativity of the arts within. On its highest level, the 4th Ray is harmonious, elevated and wonderful. Only upon reaching Earth that it slips into conflict; the harmony being the raised application of this type of Energy. The heaviest part of this Ray limits the way within a specific point, because the heaviness in it allows the resistance pattern to launch if permitted. The 4th Ray is the means to overcome things within self. The ray stimulates the highest and most productive part and balance completely. Eventually, one will evolve beyond the use of the lower chakras (from the Solar Plexus down). These chakras are part of earth living at this point. In The New Age, the chakras will be different. They will be at a new and higher level. Another effort being made is the raising of the 4th Aspect to One of Harmony to enter into the New Age.

The Master Paul who has taken the Ascension (5th Initiation), is upon the 4th Ray. He is also the Keeper of the White Flame of Purity. He and his twin flame, Lady Venusea, came from Venus with Sanat Kumara's original entourage. His known incarnation was as Paul the Apostle. (The Lord Hilarion was said to have incarnated as Saint Paul. Apparently, they are two separate Beings and Hilarion overshadowed Paul). He also works with the Deva Kingdom to bring about different approaches to art and music. Master Paul works very closely with AA Gabriel, Hilarion and Germain and the Violet Flame; the use of the Flame of Purity hand-in-hand with the Violet Flame supplies a powerful tool for change. Paul's role with the White Flame of Purity, especially important at this time, is based on helping us purify all our baser instincts, for us to become clearer and more balanced. A great responsibility is the dissemination of certain information from the Hierarchy through the senses. Paul reports to the Lord Maitreya and to the Master Serapis. There is a sense of urgency to the requests by Lord Maitreya to Master Paul due to the earth's current crisis, to implement changes in energy flows to avoid major conflicts.

A great cry has gone out to the Cosmos for more aid to the Hierarchy. In response, a Great One has responded. Lord Poseidon anchors his energy in service for a term of 7 years only (Kuthumi c/o Michelle Eloff, May 22, 2006). These 7 years (2006-2012) are ones where the emotional body of the planet will undergo its most important healing and Ascension to complete and fully master emotional intelligence. Be prepared for very powerful healing and maturing on an emotional level with the presence of Lord Poseidon. The intelligence lacking on an emotional level great damage has been caused to Planet Earth and her inhabitants. This particular emotional body healing is vital for those who are coming into physical body at this time and those who are in physical body, up until the age of approximately 6 earth years at this time. It is for their well-being and the future of Earth’s well-being that the emotional body of the collective consciousness be at a level of emotional intelligence that will ensure a healthy transition into the Aquarian, Golden, quantum world.

5. 5th Ray of Pure Intelligence

Is the orange Ray of mental analysis and preciseness rather than a focus of ideas like the 3rd Ray. In the New Age, the mind will be fully developed (full use of the brain’s frontal lobes). One of the qualities in the 5th Ray is unconditional love. The Higher Mental contains the area of unconditional love as an aspect of Self. Go into the Soul level experience as goal. The Higher Mental is focused within the Christ Consciousness and Divine Will as the ideal triad of experience and enables the productive service of The Creator. The call sent out by The Hierarchy to the Cosmos has attracted several Great Ones who give support.

The 5th Department now is much linked with the 1st to enable Earth to move past the launching of the New Age. An important mission is to launch Humanity beyond the concrete (scientific) into the higher mental. A few advanced disciples on Earth (not willing to be identified) and many disciples (mostly on the 1st and 5th Ray Departments) not as advanced are being harnessed in forthrightly. Those who can help are called forth on a volunteer basis.

The Chohan is Master Hilarion, with a shared responsibility from Master Markco. His last incarnation was as St. Hilarion in Palestine, the founder of monasticism. He gives Sanat and the 3 Kumaras the higher mental focalized energy patterns that enable the New Age to manifest. The 3 Kumaras hold a triangular formation of energy for Sanat Kumara. A special triangular pattern also runs from the focalized triangular point of the 3 Buddhas (Kumaras) to the Manu (1st) to the 5th and Master Hilarion, then back again. Master Hilarion now focuses on the evolution of civilization. He receives direct inputs from the Manu on the 1st Ray Aspect of the Creator, in a 2-way exchange. Hilarion also works on healing, balance and pure thought. He opens our minds to our potentials, both as whole, healed human beings and as whole, complete essences of God.

Master Markco (a Galactic representative) directs all scientific pursuits going on. Scientific principles are put forth picked up by advanced beings; scientific breakthroughs are made in several location. Lord Ling was once the Chohan of the 5th Ray. His best known incarnation was as Moses.

6. 6th Ray of Devotion (Abstract Idealism)

Is available for only a little while, as it is fading out. This indigo ray stimulates the intuition - clear hearing and seeing, associated with the 6th chakra. When it comes back to Earth after the New Age has begun, it will be at a new level of opportunity. It will be a finer vibration, because Earth will be on a new level (4th Density). During the New Age, the subconscious will blend with the Divine Will as a part of the service to The Creator instead of being linked with the personality. Only those focused on spirituality will be here.

The 6th Department is ‘cleaning out the area’ while starting the new stages. The old ways of spiritual living and belief are gradually being taken over by the Higher Rays, which aims to anchor the Christ Consciousness within each one, enabling us to interact directly with the Godhead and connect again on a personal level with source. As the New Age is approached, an intense 'leaping over' period will occur, when the Department calls upon the Hierarchy, the Planetary Logos, the Devas and those who came to help for a final surge of complete focus. Additionally there is a need to unite science and religion, and to bring "validity" to spiritual beliefs. It takes more specialization to serve in the 6th Department than any other.The 6th Ray energies are brought down from higher Levels in a final thrust before eventually withdrawing some energy. The balance effected in the Hierarchy is the key to evolution. In a sense, the 6th Department now sits at one end of a see-saw and the others are on the other, a balancing due to the current Earth position and Sanat Kumara.

The Buddha (Gautama) is the current Chohan of the 6th Ray, although he still retains other roles. In the past He was the Chohan of the 7th ray and the 2nd Ray. He works with the Golden Flame and links his heart with ours to support and nurture our 3-fold flame (power, wisdom and love). He has had links with the founding of many forms of religion and spiritual forums; His past lives have included Hermes (Thoth), Orpheus and Zoroaster. It is appropriate that the Lord Buddha should now have taken on this task, as he and Jesus were founders of two of the world's most influential religions.

The Master Jesus was a Chohan of the 6th ray. He served as the vehicle for the Christ (Lord Maitreya) in a great sacrificial act (3 years from the Baptism to the Crucifixion). With special abilities in the 1st Ray, He is gathering together the religions into a single focused Divinity, to change the viewpoint about Divinity and the level of the viewpoint. He works on devotional patterns with specific religious groups. From the understanding of each one, He synthesizes and raises the level of the experience to the level of wholeness. He has brought it down into the Astral Plane; it only has to be manifested on earth.

Jesus had also served as World Teacher. Although he retains some influence on the 6th ray, He is currently working through the Mahachohan (3rd) to bring enlightenment to Earth to allow the Higher Rays to be anchored. He is a Master of the Cosmic Light Command, and has been given the dispensations of pure devotion, resurrection. Aside from Jesus Christ, His past lives included Melchisadek (teacher of Abraham), Joshua, Enoch (overshadowed by Melchisadek and influenced by Metatron to form the "Keys of Enoch") and Zend (father of Zoroaster who founded Zoroastrianism). His twin flame Lady Magda (Mary Magdalene) was also a Chohan of the 6th ray. The anchoring of this ray by Lady Magda brought one of the greatest waves of feminine empowerment (not only of females). (Kuthumi c/o Michelle Eloff, May 22, 2006).

7. 7th Ray - 'the Violet Transmuting Flame:'

Opens the crown chakra and allows the light of God to illuminate as we integrate our God Self. It transmutes to a higher level of perception, enabling those who use it in a progressive way to reach a new level of understanding. It is the Ray of The New Age and leads there by ceremony, defined narrowly as a precise way of doing things (not general like the 6th Ray). It looks at precise ways of developing, such as the Transmuting Flame and various systems worked out carefully. The purpose of the Ray is to help us to see ourselves clearly as we truly are, and to see our potential. This enables us to clear ourselves of all the things we do not need or want in order to become what we do want to be. It also gives us access to the wisdom of our inner and Higher Selves, and to Higher Beings who can help us in the task of creating exactly who we want to be, and what we want to do. Sanat Kumara is now focused on the 7th Ray. His task involves the setting up of a loving and supportive framework on a physical level for all life forms, to enable them to evolve and grow and take on responsibility for maintaining and growing their own three-fold flame of the True Heart. He is responsible therefore for all souls and beings and their evolution, whether animal, vegetable or mineral. It is a fine line he has to tread in supporting and guiding each being, yet still allowing each one free will. Omri-Tas is the Ruler of the Violet Planet.

The 7th Ray Energies lead to the New Creation, a new way of living; and to the Higher Rays of attunement. The 2,000-year Piscean Age was ruled by the emotional nature and the astral planes of the 4th D. The next 2,000 years, the Age of Aquarius, will focus on the science of spirituality and the mental nature as humanity gradually moves into and becomes acclimated to the highest levels of the 4th D and the lower to mid-level frequencies of the 5th D. With Star Seeds leading the way, humanity will gradually adjust to a new expanded Self-awareness, which will be the accepted norm. An aspirant must traverse the sub-planes of the astral plane and gain control of the emotional body and the lower nature, balancing the three lower chakra centers and activating the Sacred Fire of the Kundalini stored within the Root Chakra. The “Violet Flame” has been used for 100's of years; it is now reaching a point of intensity on Earth. It has a preciseness to identify within self exactly what remains to be done to balance and cleanse. The precise quality of the Ray is important for clearing.

The Master Rakoczy has taken on as Chohan of the 7th. The Master R was influenced / overlighted by the Great Divine Director, the Cosmic Master destined to become the Manu of the 7th Root race of Aquarius. This great Being has merged his consciousness with the cosmic cycles of God's Plan for the Onmiverse, and his spiritual body is a giant blue sphere that surrounds the entire planet. The essence of himself as the Master R is only a small part of what his true being is -The Great Divine Director. Master R works with the Rainbow frequencies of Light, and is a member of the Karmic Board.

Germain (Latin for "Holy Brother") was until recently Chohan of the 7th Ray. He still retains a link with the Ray as the Keeper of the Violet Flame of Transmutation and of the Flame of Freedom. His main task now is in working under the direction of the Mahachohan as a bridge to enable humanity and the Earth to access the Higher Rays towards Ascension. This includes the planning for and guidance of ascended Beings who chose to live in physical embodiment (incarnated) to work with these Rays. In association with all the Angelic Hosts he is a representative of the 12 Solar Hierarchies, heading the 1st division and the lessons brought through the constellation of Aquarius. His past incarnations have included Joseph (husband of Mary, mother of Christ), Merlin, the prophet Samuel, Columbus, Christian Rosenkreutz, founder of the Rosy Cross (the Rosicrucians) and Francis Bacon. He is believed by many to be the true writer of the works attributed to William Shakespeare. He has also been influenced / overlighted by Master Rakoczy, who in turn was influenced by the Great Divine Director. Being trained to assume many esponsibilities are 2 unknown Masters, late comers on Earth but spiraled rapidly.
