Discipleship in the New Age I - Personal Instructions to Disciples - R.S.W.
January 1937

MY BROTHER:

You will have noted that your major rays are the same as those of P. G. C. Wherein lies the difference between you, for difference there is, is there not? This difference is not entirely due to the fact that you are in a feminine body and he is in a masculine, or that astrally you differ. It is due primarily to the fact of environment and orientation. Ponder on this. You are at a point in your evolution and in your daily life (as I think you know) wherein you can make, by the time you are forty-nine, such rapid progress that your entire life will become directed towards your chosen and indicated service. What is the choice which you have to make? Formulate it clearly to yourself, and know what it is you seek to do.

I am not going to alter your seed thoughts for this next few months. You have by no means exhausted their significance, have you? I would suggest that you go over them again and that this time you write a thesis upon the Six Ways to the Center of Life. Write one paper each month as fully as you can for the helping of others. Give of your best in sacrifice in the acceptance of this assigned task. [640]

Now let us briefly consider your rays. Your soul ray and your personality ray you already know.

Your mental body is upon the fourth ray, which gives you your love of the arts and sciences; it is, however, for you basically the ray which brings - and which should bring - conflict into your life and your relationships. This idea has much value and usefulness to you, for it has been the conflict in your life (and often, my brother, a battle well fought and successful in its issue) which can make you a strong hand in the dark to others. Forget this not, but battle on, remembering that you travel not alone.

Your astral body is on the second ray, and this fact much facilitates the task of your soul, and will account for the ability which you will discover in yourself to be a transmitter of light and love to others. It is this alignment between your soul and your astral body which gives you the intuitive insight you can use, if you remain humble and continue loving.

Your physical body is upon the seventh ray, and this will be easily apparent to you, accounting, as it does, for your interest in music, ritual, psychoanalysis. The goal of all these three methods of expression is to bring together and relate harmoniously the soul and the form, which is the major task of the seventh ray upon the seventh or physical plane. This I know will interest you. Your rays, therefore, are:

  1. The soul ray - the second Ray of Love-Wisdom.
  2. The personality - the seventh Ray of Ceremonial Order.
  3. The ray of the mental body - the fourth Ray of Harmony through Conflict.
  4. The ray of the astral body - the second Ray of Love-Wisdom.
  5. The ray of the physical body - the seventh Ray of Ceremonial Order.
