Idée directrice Let the light of the Seven Rays blend with the Seventh Ray,
and Light Supernal usher in the new civilization.
... The seventh ray will bring to the consciousness of the coming initiates the concept of group service and sacrifice. This will inaugurate the age of the “divine service”. The vision of the giving of the individual in sacrifice and service, within the group and to the group ideal, will be the goal of the masses of advanced thinkers in the New Age, whilst for the rest of humanity, brotherhood will be the keynote of their endeavour. These words have a wider connotation and significance than the thinkers of today can know and understand. …The seventh ray will foster the group spirit, and the rhythm of the group, the objectives of the group, and the ritual-working of the group will be the basic phenomena.
Esoteric Psychology, Vol. I, pp. 361 – 2

Cooperation With the Plan Anita Pearson
As mental and spiritual tension increases for those who are seeking to cooperate with the Plan, key challenges, such as the need to avoid overextension in the daily life, emerge. The seventh ray brings its own special challenges in the emerging of the new civilization. These include issues of physical fitness, intimate relationships, and family issues.

Rhythms and Cycles in the Ushering in of a New Civilization Barbara Valocore
The incoming light is revealing to us the early signs of the new civilization. How should we be training ourselves to notice and recognize these early signs amidst all the turmoil of transition times? The teachings give us insight into the greater cosmic cycles, rhythms and patterns and this talk will consider how we can cooperate with these rhythms in ways that bring structure and order into daily life.

A Seventh Ray Mantram Headquarters Group
It has been said that the effective use of the Great Invocation by a small group of students in the 1930s could have prevented the precipitation of the second World War onto the physical plane. At this moment in our planetary life its use and distribution is our most potent tool. This talk will focus on the Invocation’s ability to aid in the release of the supernal Light into the three worlds.
