Rayology and the Seven Streams of Consciousness

Rayology can help us to awaken to who we are and how we can use our gifts and strengths most effectively. As we become conscious of our unique pattern of energies and when we live true to that pattern, we grow into who and what we already are in essence. In fact, it is our most profound purpose as human beings to manifest our spiritual blueprint or archetype.

What are these Seven Streams of Consciousness?

As you begin your exploration of the rays, you may experience familiarity with the terms and concepts that describe the qualities of one or more of the particular rays. Make a note of this familiarity when it occurs. Be with the recognition. You might consider meditating on the ones that feel most like you. When this recognition happens, it is because there is an awareness of your spiritual identity. When explored more deeply, you will find your way to ‘who you must be’.
