The Origin of the Brotherhood of the Seven Rays

[Mascha]

The valley of the Monastery of the Brotherhood of the Seven Rays is known as the Valley of the Blue Moon and is located high in the Andes Mountains on the northern, Peruvian side of Lake Titicaca. Lord Muru did not immediately set up the Monastery on his arrival at Lake Titicaca, but he wandered for many years, studying and fasting in the wilderness, where he was joined by others who had escaped the catastrophes. He was originally accompanied by his feminine aspect, Arama-Mara (Goddess Meru), when he departed from Lemuria in the needlelike airship. These were not spacecraft, but were used by the Motherland for trade between the colonies.

The Brotherhood of the Seven Rays had known existence countless ages before during the time of the Elder Race upon the Earth about one billion years ago. However, it had never before had a monastery where students of life, highly advanced on the Great Path of Initiation, could come together in spiritual harmony to blend the flow of their life streams. Each student came into existence on one of the Seven Great Rays of Life, as we all do, and these Rays were to be blended by each student weaving his, or her, Ray, as if it were a colored thread, into the tapestry which symbolized the Spiritual Life of the Monastery. Therefore, it was called the Brotherhood of the Seven Rays, also known as the Brotherhood of Illumination.

All the members of the Brotherhood of the Seven Rays belong to the Amethystine Order, which is very ancient, but which assumes great importance now because its vibration is emerging on the world scene as the Seventh Ray of Life. Archangel Michael of the Sun, the Transcendent Being who is the Archangel of Protection, is the Guardian of the members of this Order, and also of the Brotherhood of the Seven Rays and all of its Outer Retreats and Sanctuaries.

Man's individuality comes under the rulership of the great Seven Rays of Life, and he is always guided by the powerful forces at work within these Rays. All of us flow into conscious Life upon one of these Rays, and our entire Life experience is influenced by the Ray through which we descended. In Holy Scripture, the Seven Rays are called the “seven spirits before the Throne.”

The First Ray is the way of Leadership; the Second Ray is the way of Education; the Third Ray is the way of Philosophy; the Fourth Ray is the way of the Arts; the Fifth Ray is the way of Science; the Sixth Ray is the way of Devotion; and the Seventh Ray is the way of Ceremony. The Esoteric Colours of the Rays are: Red; Light Blue; (3) Green; (4) Yellow; (5) Indigo; (6) Rose; (7) Violet.
