Buddha and Ray Three

I always thought that Buddha would have been dominated by the third ray but JJ says that is not the case.

JJ:
Not exactly. DK tells us that both Buddha and the Christ had second ray souls with Buddha representing the wisdom aspect and Christ the love - in this love/wisdom ray.

Buddha also had a sixth ray mind and a first ray personality, which DK calls a "rare" combination.

So, is any third ray represented here?

Moses strongly represented the third ray, but in a unique way Buddha did also and still does. Light, or enlightenment, is associated with this ray and Buddha represented a bridge taking humanity from the third ray to the second ray, as far as our consciousness is concerned.

Here are a couple DK quotes on this teaching:

The one (Buddha) demonstrated the height of the attainment of the third divine aspect; the other (Christ) that of the second aspect, and these two together present one perfect Whole. Externalization of the Hierarchy.

In a curious and esoteric manner, therefore, the Buddha embodied in Himself the force and activity of the third ray, of the third aspect of divinity-the divine cosmic principle of Intelligence. By its fusion with the ray of our solar system (the ray of Love) He expressed perfectly the significance of light in matter, of the intelligence principle as found in form, and was the Avatar Who carried in Himself the fully ripened seeds of the past solar system.

As far as the ray of this group goes - this is an interesting question that no one has asked before. Here is my take.

During the first two years of its existence there was a struggle for domination for the personality ray between rays 6 and 5. Five has won out and now permeates the group. The soul ray is ray two. Other rays have just a slight influence, but these are the main two. Ray 6 rears its head now and then but doesn't last long any more.
