Some Tabulations on the Rays

THE SEVEN KEYS TO THE SEVEN RAY METHODS

FIRST RAY

"Let the Forces come together.  Let them mount to the High Place, and from that lofty eminence let the Soul look upon a world destroyed.  Then let the word go forth: 'I will persist'."

SECOND RAY

"Let all the life be drawn to the Centre, and enter thus into the Heart of Love Divine.  Then from that point of sentient Life, let the Soul realise the consciousness of God.  Let the word go forth, reverberating through the silence:  'Naught is but Me!',

THIRD RAY

"Let the Army of the Lord, responsive to the word, cease their activities.  Let knowledge end in wisdom.  Let the point vibrating become the point quiescent, and all lines gather into One.  Let the Soul realise the One in Many, and let the word go forth in perfect understanding: 'I am the Worker and the Work, The One that Is: ' "

FOURTH RAY

"Let the outer glory pass away and the beauty of the inner Light reveal the One. Let dissonance give place to harmony, and from the centre of the hidden Light let the soul speak, let the word roll forth: 'Beauty and glory veil Me not.  I stand revealed.  I Am.

FIFTH RAY

"Let the three forms of energy electric pass upward to the Place of Power. Let the forces of the head and heart and all the nether aspects blend.  Then let the Soul look out upon the inner world of light divine.  Let the word triumphant go forth: 'I mastered energy for I am energy itself.  The Master and the mastered are but One.'

SIXTH RAY

"Let all desire cease.  Let aspiration end.  The search is over.

 Let the Soul realise that it has reached the goal, and from that

gateway to eternal Life and cosmic Peace let the word sound: 'I am the seeker and the sought.  I rest.'"

SEVENTH RAY

"Let the builders cease their work.  The Temple is completed.  Let the Soul enter into its heritage and from the Holy Place command all work to end.  Then in the silence subsequent let him chant forth the word: `The creative work is over.  I, the Creator, Am. Naught else remains but Me.'"
