The Seven Rays Of The Sun

The physical Sun is a mirror of Spiritual Fire. The Seven Rays of the Spiritual Sun are Luminous Sons, from which will emanate all other luminous and non-luminous lives. They are the “fiery tongues” representing the potency of formative creation inherent Logos. The First Solar Ray is the most important: It is Voice of the Silence. It is potentially in everyman’s heart. Space and Time are One and Nameless, the incognisable That, which can be sensed only through its Rays. A bright star dropped from the Heart of Eternity, a beacon of hope on whose Seven Rays hang Seven Worlds of Being. Seven Wise Ones, the Dhyani-Chohans of the Secret Doctrine, fashion seven beams of light falling on paths leading to wisdom. Seven Lights, whose reflections are the human immortal monads, each in charge of seven distinct groups of humanity. They all proceed from the First Logos, and from thence in innumerable series of Hierarchies. Thus the Hierarchy of Compassion lights up the torch of Truth. The Seven Rays or Divine Hierarchies are symbolised as concentric circles of prismatic colours in their natural order. Heptactys stands for the Seven Rishis of the Second Ray, the informing souls of the Seven Stars of the Great Bear and their shaktis symbolised by Pleiades or Atlantis’ Seven Root-Races. The Seven Rays and their shaktis vibrate everywhere. They are personified as Motion, Sound, Heat, Light, Cohesion, Electric Fluid, and Nerve Force. When the hour of the Solar Pralaya strikes, the Eternal Avyaya (First Logos) will enter into the Seven Rays of the Sun and drink up all the waters of the Universe. Thus fed, the Seven Rays will expand to Seven Suns whose radiance will glow above, below, and on every side, and will set the World on fire.
