upon the physical plane. And it is through this channel that the cosmic
rays familiar to modern science are finding their way to earth. In Alice
Bailey’s Esoteric Psychology Vol I, we read:
“It is under the influence of the incoming seventh ray… that we shall
discover new cosmic rays. They… are always present in our universe,
but they use the substance of the incoming ray energy as the path
along which they can travel to our planet and thus be revealed.”2
“The interest being shown today in the so-called cosmic rays indicates
a scientific recognition of the new incoming seventh ray energies.
These rays, pouring through the sacral centre of the planetary etheric
body, have necessarily an effect upon the sacral centres of humanity,
and hence the sex life of mankind is temporarily over-stimulated,
and hence also the present over-emphasis upon sex. But hence also
(and this must be remembered) the keen impetus now being mentally
expressed which will eventually result in man’s thinking through to
a solution of this problem of sex.”3
Whatever our own views on this may be, the answer to wrong
lower identifications with the physical sex of the body lies in lifting
consciousness away from the body nature. Given that a feeling
of incompleteness is one of the main characteristics of gender
dysphoria, encouraging the aesthetic sense in young children would
surely be of more assistance than ever-earlier sex education. The
feeling for beauty and wonder in nature helps to nurture in the child
a strong sense of identity with the soul of all things, including the
soul of humanity as a whole, where the solution to the problem of
gender lies. As human consciousness is steadily raised towards the
Kingdom of Souls, masculine and feminine energies are synthesized
into a perfected unity, as the Christ will undoubtedly demonstrate

Current Future
The higher spiritual interlude of the year marked by the full moon
festivals of Aries, Taurus and Gemini, is the most opportune time to
do this by working with the new cosmic influences that are seeking
entrance into human consciousness. The ability to “think in abstract
terms, and to use the abstract mind” is facilitated by the waves of
energy or “gift waves” that are circulating throughout the realm of
the planetary mind at this time. The bridge of consciousness that is
forming between the Spiritual Hierarchy and the human kingdom is
thereby strengthened, preparing the way for the reappearance of the
Christ—the great hope for humanity in these troubling times.
One of the inevitable effects of seventh ray energy will be to relate and
weld into a closer synthesis the four kingdoms in nature. This must
be done as preparatory to the long fore-ordained work of humanity
which is to be the distributing agency for spiritual energy to the three
subhuman kingdoms. This is the major task of service which the fourth
kingdom, through its incarnating souls, has undertaken. The radiation
from the fourth kingdom will some day be so potent and far-reaching
that its effects will permeate down into the very depths of the created
phenomenal world, even into the mineral kingdom. Then we shall see
the results to which the great initiate, Paul, refers when he speaks of
the whole creation waiting for the manifestation of the Sons of God.
That manifestation is that of radiating glory and power and love.

One of the major characteristics of the seventh ray disciple is his intense
practicality. He works upon the physical plane with a constant and
steady objective in order to bring about results which will be effective in
determining the forms of the coming culture and civilisation; towards
the end of the seventh ray cycle he will work equally hard to perpetuate
what he has brought about. He wields force in order to build the forms
which will meet his requirements and does this more scientifically than
do disciples on other rays…. [The] failure to work intelligently, and

I would like to add, lovingly with substance and so bring it into right
relation with the dense outer form that has made the last two thousand
years produce so disastrously a mismanaged world and which has
brought the population of the planet into its present serious condition.

consciousness. Together we invoke Light to reveal the way forward,
Love to fill our hearts, and Enlightened Purpose to guide us. These
divine energies are abundantly available—we can invoke them now,
on behalf of all humanity and for the evolution of a new world.

Easter Festival: I come forth and from the plane of mind, I rule.
Wesak Festival: I see and when the Eye is opened, all is light.
Christ’s Festival: I recognise my other self and in the waning of
that self, I grow and glow.
In the centre of all Love I stand. From that centre I, the soul, will
outward move. From that centre I, the one who serves, will work.
May the love of the divine Self be shed abroad, in my heart, through
my group, and throughout the world.
Visualise the downpouring spiritual inflow released from Shamballa through the
Hierarchy and streaming into humanity through the prepared channel. Consider
how these inpouring energies are establishing the “Pathway of Light” for the
coming World Teacher, the Christ.
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.
