“STRENGTHENING THE HANDS OF THE NEW GROUP OF WORLD SERVERS”
Meditation is the primary form of service for those following a spiritual path. It is a means of cooperation and alignment with hierarchical intent. The new moon period follows upon the cycle of outbreathing in the rhythmic cycles of the breath; it is a time of pause wherein together we can establish a soul-mind-brain alignment. During this period we work in thought to concretize the ideas and impressions received at the time of the full moon period and undertake the sometimes difficult process of translating them into practical plans that can be of service in the world. The effect of this meditative effort is to enhance the many ways in which the “power of the one Life” and the “love of the one soul” are working out through all true servers everywhere.

Transitioning from The Sixth to the Seventh Ray of Ceremonial Magic
New Moon in Leo
The incoming Seventh Ray holds much hope for the world, for it is “The Bestower of Light from the Second [Ray] Lord” (EP I p. 85). This relationship between these two Ray Lords presents an exceedingly welcoming confluence of energies for the new group of world servers, for “the 6th ray fostered the vision,” and “the 7th ray will materialize that which was visioned” (EP I, p. 359).
The 6th ray produced the mystic and the 7th ray will develop the white magician. For students of white magic there could not be a more propitious time for Service -- the new “scientific service” of the 7th Ray, which is the next phase of the white magic of the soul.
The 7th ray is the custodian of that externalization, which provides a unique revelation of the divine nature in dense physical plane matter. Thus, among other things to come, this incoming ray will reveal the understanding, application and the potency of Goodwill in its “wider connotation and significance than the thinkers of today can know and understand.”4 (EP vol. I p.361)
Question for Reflection:
- The 6th Ray energies awakened and aided the aspirant to approximate “the below to the above and the above to the below”—this relating process is one of the main ideas lying behind Idealism. What do you think will be the corresponding effect of the 7th Ray energies?
- The NGWS emerged out of the 6th Ray period. How and what major activity will characterize the form of their service effort during the incoming 7th Ray?
- What does the incoming Seventh Ray mean to you personally?
