Nauvoo Gathering Continued

Friday, March 5, 2004 5:29 AM

My Friends, I just realized I never finished posting the rest of the Nauvoo gathering. In our last post we gave you Anni's address. This time we will give you that of Judy Reese also known as Judes.

Judy:
Anni was discussing the first three rays which are the aspects of the seven rays. The other four rays are the attributes out of the seven rays. The aspects are light, love and power. The four attributes are off shoots of the first three so it makes seven which is the standard in our universe. The rays are associated with the seven colors. Rick helped us with this chart. The first ray is red, the second blue, the third yellow. The fourth ray is orange. I'm going to talk about that, harmony through conflict. Artie asked about the signs of the zodiac. The fourth ray is related to Scorpio. Actually the fourth and sixth rays are influenced by Scorpio. Is anyone here a Scorpio? Anyone besides me? Are you Catherine? Melva is too.

JJ asked me to talk about the fourth and sixth rays and they're both influenced by Scorpio. I'm not sure yet if they influence my soul ray, personality or whatever but I do think I'm influenced by both of them.

The initial plan, when the big bang happened or life first initiated, the first three aspects broke out or shot out into the universe then broke off creating seven. What I think is interesting is that DK refers to these as beings and uses the term Lords so they actually have consciousness. They are beings. He also enumerates them and talks about them, for example, the first ray is the Lord of Power or Will. The second is the Lord of Love/Wisdom. The fourth ray which I'm going to talk about is the Lord of harmony, beauty and art.

The method in this ray is harmony through conflict. Harmony is reached only through conflict. Another analogy to that would be the butterfly in the cocoon. As it's evolving to that it starts to break out of the cocoon. The Chinese story that tells about this says that if you help the butterfly out by breaking the cocoon you hurt the development and the butterfly will then be crippled or handicapped and won't have enough strength to live out its life. So the breaking out of the cocoon gives it strength. The beauty in the butterfly is enhanced by the struggle of breaking out of the cocoon. That's one way of looking at this particular ray. It's also called the ray of struggle.

DK also mentions this ray is the ray of the disciple that is on the path of initiation. Discipleship is a step above the aspirant. One is an aspirant until he goes through the first initiation. It's also called the path of the disciple or the path. This is considered the ray of the disciple which is struggle and harmony through conflict. Rick also mentioned another way to put this ray into analogy is that he who loses love is he who has great love. One can't really love or reach the pinnacles of love until one has gone through the pain or loss of love.

This is also the ray of beauty and art. Artists would most likely have this ray. It's the ray that expresses beauty. Many artists intuitively know this. Their lives are filled with struggle or they'll create for themselves painful situations or maybe live in poverty and chose that life so that they'll become better writers or better artists. This is expressed in their work and this is what they aspire to. We also need to define beauty. A definition of what this ray is about is the beauty that is expressed which is in alignment with the plan, the Plan of God, the initial plan. Someone who is influenced by this ray would be able to see clearly what is in alignment with this plan and express it through art or the written word or creating beauty and harmony throughout their lives. Another interesting aspect of the fourth ray is that it is not in manifestation at this time. According to the big picture showing the whole manifestation of our earth, six of the rays are in manifestation but the fourth ray is not. It is coming into manifestation at this time. It's very slowly starting to come in and will start coming into manifestation in the year 2025.

Right now we're strongly under the influence of the sixth ray which is the ray of devotion or idealism. Rays are predominant also through ages. The Piscean Age was dominated mostly by the sixth ray. It's been going out since 1625. There were many beings who were sixth ray during that time. Now there are many fourth rays beginning to come in for the new age. The seventh ray, which Mindy is going to talk about, is mainly the influence for the Aquarian Age but the fourth ray is coming into manifestation also during this next age. DK tells us other names the fourth ray is called by are:

The Deceiver along the way.

The link between the three and three-in other words it's the ray in the middle between the other rays. There are three on top and three on the bottom. This is the middle ray.

The divine intermediary, the hand of God, the hidden one, the seed that is the flower, the mountain whereon form dies, the light within the light, the corrector of the form, the one who marks the parting of the way, the master, the dweller in the holy place, and the trumpet of the Lord.

If one is influenced by a certain ray there will be certain virtues and certain vices. Sometimes you can tell which rays you are influenced by according to your vices. The special virtues one would have if this ray influences them are: strong affections, sympathy, physical courage, generosity, devotion, quickness of intellect and perception. The vices of the ray would be self centeredness, worrying, inaccuracy, lack of moral courage, strong passions, indolence, and extravagance. The virtues that one would want to acquire are serenity, confidence, self control, purity, unselfishness, accuracy, and mental and moral balance.

The fourth ray is also the ray of color and can write compositions. If they wrote music, it would be full of melody. The fourth ray man loves a tune. He could be a writer or a poet. His work would most often be brilliant and full of picturesque word paintings, although inaccurate and full of exaggerations and pessimistic. He would generally talk well and have a sense of humor but he would vary between brilliant conversations and gloomy silences. So he'd be a moody person. Many artists are like that. The best method for healing a fourth ray person would be massage and magnetism. The fourth ray is considered the ray of vibration. I think the influence of this ray is already starting to come into effect. In healing we see Reiki, massage, energy healing and methods like that. That is probably being affected by this ray. It's also the ray of expression which would be bringing in soul impressions; someone who is able to express these soul impressions. It's also the ray of harmony and union. It's perfection of forms through group interplay. It corresponds to the intuitional plane or the Buddhic plane. Like I just said, bringing in the intuition and expressing it.

Audience:
Does that explain why a lot of people are becoming more intuitive these days?

Judy:
It could but it could also be just the evolutionary cycles. This is our next step in evolution as the fifth root race. It's all coming together as the rays are influencing, the astrological influence of the age. I think humanity as a race is right on the precipice. With all of this coming together we're really in an exciting age. As we're moving out of the sixth ray, which is also devotion and idealism and is also the ray of religion, we're moving out of putting things in a religious format into an expression of spirituality through art, harmony, groups and group interplay.

Audience:
In the chakra system some chakras are a higher octave of another like the heart being a higher octave of the solar plexus. Is it true also in the rays? Is harmony through conflict a higher octave of the sixth ray?

Judy:
I don't think it's a higher octave. They'd be on different octaves and the sixth corresponds to the fourth.

JJ: It would be more like a different note. The rays correspond to the notes so this would be a different note rather than a different octave.

Audience:
Also you said the rays correspond to the chakras. Is there any correspondence with these?

Judy:
The fourth is the heart center which is interesting because it seems like that would be the second but it is the heart. It's in the middle. What's interesting was that it wasn't in manifestation but there was a higher purpose which is that the sixth ray was dominating. When you read about the sixth ray, the sixth ray is sort of a problem child. There were lots of wars and this devotion/idealism doesn't seem very godly because it's where fanaticism comes from but there was a purpose for that. It's actually leading into the fourth ray.

Audience:
Then would the sixth ray correspond to the solar plexus chakra?

JJ:
Yes, it's the solar plexus. The third ray is the throat. I believe the second ray is the heart.

Judy:
So I said that wrong. Sorry. It's confusing. Here's something written on it. I think it's from the Secret Doctrine. For the fourth ray the planet is Mercury, the day is Wednesday, the exoteric color is Creme, the esoteric color yellow. This is different from what I learned. The divine principle is Buddhi, intuition and pure reason. The element is air. Thus is unity produced. It doesn't say what chakra it is.

Audience:
The fourth ray is Scorpio?

Judy:
Scorpio is influenced by the fourth and the sixth.

Audience:
What sign was the third ray?

JJ:
Saturn is ruled by the third ray, the third also influences the earth.

Anni:
The second was Jupiter.

Audience:
What signs are second ray?

Anni:
Second ray signs are Gemini, Virgo and Pisces.

Audience:
I have a question. Are the rays directed by the sign or vice versa? Which one is it?

Judy:
I found something I'd like to read. The first ray is Aires, Libra and Capricorn. The second is Gemini, Virgo and Pisces. Active intelligence is Cancer, Libra Capricorn. The fourth is Scorpio and Sagittarius.

JJ:
The fourth ray governs the base of the spine center.

Judy:
Ray one is Vulcan, the Vulcan planet which is the planet on the opposite side of the sun from earth. It's invisible to us. Love/wisdom is Jupiter. Third is Saturn. Third is Earth too. Fifth ray is Leo and Sagittarius. The sixth is Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces and Neptune. The seventh is Aires, and Capricorn and Uranus. There are a lot of books on the subject and you're welcome to look at those we brought when we're through here.

Audience:
My question is do the signs influence the rays or vice a versa?

Judy:
My guess it that the rays influence everything including the signs. They're the initial forces. They're life itself. So everything else is influenced by them. Probably understanding the rays and how they work would help us to understand everything.
