16. SEVEN RAYS, SEVEN BROTHERS, SEVEN SEPHIROTS, SEVEN RISHIS, SEVEN SONS, SEVEN
SPIRITS,
SEVEN PRINCIPLES - ALL
THESE
ARE THE SEVEN TYPES OF THE SOULS (ELEMENTARY PARTICLES)
Seven Rays, Seven
Brothers, Seven Sephiroth,
Seven Rishis, Seven Sons, Seven Spirits,
Seven Principles ... The list is longer, and
in what follows, we present other synonyms.
We not by chance
have collected these expressions and lined them up in a row.
They all represent the same thing - seven qualitatively
distinct each of other emanations
of God.
If to express a more familiar language,
it is nothing like the Seven Colors of the rainbow.
However, it should also be noted here that in the rainbow, i.e.
in the spectrum, there are seven
colors and not six. The seventh color, as
in the case of the Seventh
Plane is a comprehensive,
combining six simple.
Although if we will
be completely
accurate, only three main colors of six simple - red, yellow and
blue – we can consider as truly simple.
Three additional - orange, green and purple -
are the combinations of the main colors.
However, three additional colors
- orange, green and purple -
can also be attributed to a number
of simple, together with the main colors, as compared with the seventh color -
complex.
The
seventh color - it's a rainbow, spectrum, all six colors together.
As for the clearly expressed light blue stripe in the
rainbow, its reason - the blue
color of the atmosphere. Available
oxygen in the ozone status and
oxygen in the molecules of water
are an additional source of light blue
photons. Admixture to the blue of infrared photons and makes the color blue,
i.e. light blue. This
explanation is brief, see more in
other books of this series “Esoteric Natural
Science”, devoted to questions of
physics – for example, “Ethereal mechanics” or “Optics”.
The most detailed demonstration of the meaning of what
are the "Seven Rays" we can find in the pages of the works of
writer-occultist Alice Bailey, of the disciple of one of the Himalayan
Mahatmas, Djwhal Khul. The cycle of her books just wears this name - "A
Treatise on the Seven Rays".
"The Great Breath digs through Space seven holes into Laya to cause them to circumgyrate during Manvantara" (Secret
Doctrine I, 147).
"Seven holes into Laya" - are
also names of the Seven Rays.
"Holes in Space" – is a very
appropriate way, as if we are really talking about these "holes",
"windows" through which the flows of the Spirit stream out into the world.
"Water of Life" - that is the
Spirit - pours through the "holes of the space" into this world and
"floods" it in such way, i.e. generates.
So what is the origin of the expression "The Seven
Rays"? And what is the "Ray"?
"3.The Hour had not yet struck;
the Ray had not yet flashed into the Germ; the Mâtripadma had not yet swollen.
4.Her Heart had not yet opened for the One Ray
to enter, thence to fall, as Three into Four,into the Lap of Maya"(Stanzas
2.3;2.4).
“3. Darkness radiates Light, and Light drops one
solitary Ray into the Waters, into the Mother-Deep. The Ray shoots through the
Virgin Egg, the Ray causes the Eternal Egg to thrill, and drop the non-eternal
Germ, which condenses into the World-Egg.
4. The Three fall into the Four. The Radiant
Essence becomes Seven inside, Seven outside. …” (Stanza
3.3;3.4).
"Matripadma" – is the Matter, however, as well
as the "Darkness", "Water", "Mother-Deep" and "Virgin Egg". All these words are synonyms
of the first aspect of the Creator
- the Original Substance.
"From the Effulgency of Light - the Ray of the
Ever-Darkness - sprang in Space the reawakened Energies" (Stanza 4.3).
"Light" - is the Spirit
of the Second Aspect of the Creator,
a product of the Mother, her First-Born Son.
"The Ray of
the Ever-Darkness” – is the Spirit, he is Light, Fire, Ether, Energy and Information.
Single "Ray" – is a Soul, a private, a
concrete manifestation of the total, one Spirit.
Why do we use the word "Ray"? Probably, because in real life light
moves in the form of rays. And a
Ray – is a form of the path traveled
by light particles.
Perhaps we use the word "Ray"
also because the Light (Spirit) is characterized
by the Movement –
namely, by rotation trough time. In each
elementary particle (the Soul) it appears, and then disappears.
In general, in the occultism, the "Movement"
is one of synonymous names for the Spirit.
The Spirit (Light) rotates. Perhaps this is why the Light moving in the Souls is called
the "Ray".
And every Soul - this is a concrete, separate "Ray of Light" (Spirit).
In the Alice Bailey's "Esoteric
Psychology" is another name used for
the Rays - a "stream of
energy, emanating from the God Almighty".
Or there are other
names - "line of force"
or simply "the Force". So,
when you find in the works of this author these expressions, keep
in mind that this is the same thing as the "Soul".
"Then come the Sons, the Seven
Fighters, the One, the Eight left out, and his Breath which is the Light-Maker" (Stanza 4.5).
"The
Seven
Fighters" - this is one of the synonyms
to refer to the Seven Rays, Seven types
of Souls.
"Eighth Son, Eighth
Fighter" - this is just the Spirit itself, taken in the generalized sense,
which manifests itself in every of the
remaining seven sons.
The Spirit himself is the Son
of the Mother, her Firstborn.
However, it’s taken generally, considered as
a whole. It does not form a
shape, i.e. does not form the elementary particles. That's why it is said about him that he had left aside.
"…his Breath which is the
Light-Maker" - in fact, the Spirit -
this is the Breath and the fact
that gives light.
So, the Seven Rays, Seven Brothers, Seven
Sephiroth, seven Rishis, Seven Sons, Seven Spirits,
Seven Principles – this is nothing like Seven types of Souls, seven types of elementary particles,
which we can found at any level
of any Plan.
With regard to specific physical reasons of why particles
of red, yellow and blue colors are
combined to form three additional colors - orange, green
and purple - and together they form the six colors of the rainbow – we describe
them in detail in the book devoted to the Optics (series “Esoteric Natural
Science”), in the articles, relating the color theory and mechanism of
occurrence of spectrum. Here we only mention that only moving particles can create
a rainbow.
We will say few words about the inclusion of the concepts
"Seven Rishi" and "Seven Sephiroth" into the list of
synonyms for the seven types of Souls.
Rishi (sometimes - rsi, Skt. Rsi - seer, sage) – are sages
in Hinduism, to whom the Gods opened the Vedic hymns. Already in the Rigveda we
find seven main "great" Rishi... Some of Rishi are repeated in the
number of Prajapati, of which first seven also was, then eight or even ten. To
the very ancient features of the seven rishis it belongs their identification
with the seven stars of the Great Bear, based, perhaps, on the harmony of the
words "Rishi" and «rksha» («Bear» al-Greek.. Άρκτος, Lat. Ursus).
Hence there is the tradition that the Rishis were before the bears. Their
number (seven) usually placed in connection with a number of different
categories of priests mentioned in the Vedic texts".
The existence of the seven categories of the priests, or else the seven types of
Rishi - is nothing
but an indication for the
existence of different groups of Souls.
A Priest - is the one who
communicates with God.
Any Soul (elementary particle) we can
regard as a kind of bridge, a connection link between the Internal Plan of
the Creator and this Manifested world.
Hence the use of the image of
the Seven Rishis is a symbol of
the Seven major types of shower, or the Seven
Rays, in another way.
