As promised in this Episode's title, today I'm going to present some very practical ways that you can use the basic Cosmic Rays. What I'm saying is that the Seven Rays can actually be used--that you can learn to work with the energies of each of the Rays--and that everybody can do it, everybody has access and the ability.
The Seven Rays can be used for your own healing and they can be learned to orchestrate change, to help facilitate the discovery and letting go of congested, restricted flow of energy. As a matter of fact, all pain and suffering, all dis-ease, is the result of congested, restricted flow of energy--of inhibited Soul Life. As I mentioned in previous podcasts, the Soul is trying to come shining through in order to realize some of the higher goals for growth and evolution that it had set forth in the plan it created before entering your human bodymind, but the conditions and restrictions that come with accepting a "mission" in the human condition must first be overcome, must be discovered as the constructs--for being the 'illusions' that they are--before one can rise above and tap into the Soul information coming from your Higher Mind. It's tough. It is not easy. It is not meant to be.
The years we spend getting used to the human and Earth School experience and their rules result in the creation of a Personality. A Personality has a point of view, an Ego. It is a complicated and thickly woven tapestry of patterns which finds comfort and pride in the constructs it has worked so hard to fabricate.
The Ego becomes attached to its familiar patterns. It learns to identify with the 'tapestry' that has provided it with success in traveling through the murky tar pits of human. Sometimes the attachment becomes quite strong, which can make the job of letting go difficult. Still, the Soul is quite persistent. It's commitment to its mission is unwavering; its energy never stops sending its insistent signal, "Remember what we came here for. Remember what we came here for..." just as our Divine Source never stops circulating to and through us its energy of Life-Force, the life-giving energy of the the Cosmic Rays.
If a Personality/Ego becomes too stubborn or recalcitrant and fails to give up its control, then that individual may leave its human vehicle without ever having really addressed much less tackled the issues and lessons that the Soul had planned for it. And this is fine. The Soul will simply retreat into the Spirit World where it will spend time in review and reflection, assessing its gains and 'failures,' while at the same time re-energizing. Then it will decide on its next goals, on whether or not it wants to make another 'dive' into Earth School, and, if it does decide to return to the human experience, what it will do differently in order to try to ensure a higher potential for success.
Learning to use the Rays can help you to speed along this process, for, in the very act of using the Rays you are giving power to the Spiritual World, in the act of trying to actively direct the Universal Life Force, you are admitting at least the chance that there exists a power or force that is above, within or outside you--a force that is not taught in publicly-endorsed or publicly-sanctioned institutions (except for the fact that the energy of the Cosmic Rays is one and the same with that of prayer--which is, after all, simply directed thought--and remember: thought is the Creative Force, Energy follows Thought, God is Higher Mind). In attempting to use or in learning to direct energy using Higher Mind you are negating all the conditioning and structures of the Ego--you are, in fact, acknowledging and endorsing the placebo effect, you are tapping into the potential of psychosomatic phenomena, you are giving power to your imagination (which has the word "mage" in it, thus acknowledging the Inner Wise Self and "magic" that can come from that Source). When taking the time and making the effort to use the Cosmic Rays, to use your creative forces, to use your imagination, you are "awakening"--or asking for the increased flow of--your Soul information--the information that your Soul knows and understands the best. With an increased flow of Soul information, of creativity, imagination, and Universal Life Force, you are bringing into your being a warmth that begins to thaw, soften and, eventually, wash away the thick 'tar' that surrounds or cakes your True Essence, the "multi-faceted diamond" that resides inside the constructs of your Personality/Ego. The more you ask, the more you trust, the more you believe, the more you 'feel' the effects of the increased flow of Universal Life Force, the more you will find yourself able to rise above, to step 'outside' of, the thick constraints of the physical, emotional and mental forms that you created for your use. Then, you will find that the human bodymind that You occupy will be able to become Your servant--that your human vehicle will be able to be the agent for the Soul to fulfill the goals it made when it formed its plan to invest itself in the Earth School experience.
So, what do you think? Are ready and willing to try to give the Cosmic Rays a chance? Are you ready for a little exercise? The first thing we need to do is make some mental acknowledgement that whatever you are about to attempt is being done for the Highest Good of You and the Cosmos--that your Ego is not getting in the way and trying to manipulate energy for its own power or benefit (which will tap into another lesser powered and more benign form of Energy anyway). Then you need to become trusting of the fact that you have a a point from which you can direct this Higher Form of Energy. You can use your Mind to learn to direct Energy from any place on your body or from any point in the Cosmos (as our Higher Mind is not bound to the reference point of the human bodymind that it is using and can, therefore, take on a perspective of awareness from any point in the Imagination), but I like to have people try to use a place between the eyebrows, just above the nose, to try to 'imagine' a initiatory place of force. Some use the thought of either the pituitary or pineal glands to reference this place in the human anatomy. I feel it precisely in a place that is just inside the frontal bone between the eyebrows (even with my unibrow) about two centimeters above the nose bones. Some people will have you call this place the Third Eye others the Ajna. I'm not sure which it really is but I have also found that I can imagine and feel this force coming from many other places on my body. However, I think that by using this place in the head, above and between the eyes, you are 'forcing' the Ego/Personality to give credit and power to a "higher" power, that you are in effect reducing the effects that Ego could have on the outcome due to such limiting behaviors as doubt, distrust, and desire. Because you are using a 'place' that doesn't really exist in the human system of information called the anatomy, you are again giving power, control and affirmation to a part of you, a part of Creation, that is outside of your empirical senses and scientifically biased lower mind and thereby again giving more energy and acknowledgement to the unmeasurable Universal Life Force.
Anyway. Let's get back to the exercise. To enhance your chances for success in the exercise, find a quiet comfortable place to rest your body. Closing your eyes will probably greatly enhance your ability to 'feel' the effects of this exercise. Do a body check--try to sense where in your body there exists pain, discomfort or tension. Once you've found a spot--one that you'd like to try to 'treat'--try directing with your mind, from your Ajna, a paintbrush or a beam or whatever tool or form you would like to imagine being directed from your Third Eye with the intentions for the "Highest Good"--imagine that paintbrush applying the healing paint of Universal Life Force, of chi, ki, prana, or medicine--whatever you choose--to that area that you've chosen. Feel free to play around with the paintbrush--with the type of paintbrush you choose to use--even with the colors of 'paint' that you choose to apply. Try long strokes, broad strokes, thin strokes, pokes and dots, circles and spirals, aggressive or gentle and slow--anything you can imagine. See if you can feel--and here I really mean feel--an effect of your ministrations--see if you can feel it in your pain levels, in your temperature, in the 'colors' you 'see' with your eyes closed. See if you can sense a change in the thickness or stickiness of the energy in the area you are stroking.
Next try asking for specific Rays or specific colors to be your choice of 'paint' that you are working with. As you call for different Rays see if you can see or feel a difference in the effect or with how deeply or thinly each ray 'connects' or resonates with the pain and congestion in the site you have chose to give your attentions to. You will probably find that one or a few Rays are more effective in the area and that others feel less effective.
Ray 7 is the governing Ray of the Basic Center (also called the Root Chakra). Ray 7 is the Ray of Organization, Ceremonial Order and Ritual. It is the Ray which links spirit and matter and it works through law, organization and ritual. Man's basic biological and physiological needs or "deficiencies"--including the need for air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, and sleep--are managed and coordinated here. Psychologically, Ray 7 imbues one with a delight in order and perfection of form. For the purposes of our exercise, it will usually be most effective with boney tissues, with urinary tract issues. Emotionally, Ray 7 will provide help in quieting Fear and in boosting Courage. Mentally, Ray 7 will help with strengthening your commitment to your human body, to the human experience, and to the Earth School experience. But this experiment is really meant to provide you with and experience that you can feel on a very real, very physical level. That is why I've asked you to choose a site on which to focus that is experiencing some pain or discomfort.
Ray 5 is the governing Ray of the Sacral Center. Ray 5 is the Ray of Concrete Knowledge and Science. On the physical level, it is the governing Ray over the pelvis and legs, our reproductive organs and our sense of groundedness. Emotionally it is where we learn to create and deal with our most significant and primary relationships: our relationship with our parents, children, siblings and other blood relatives, as well as husband-wives and other significant others. It is also the place from which we create and derive foundational strength in our relationships with money, property, home, our bodies and our selves. So, in the context of this exercise, should your target site of pain or discomfort be in the legs or lower body (such as menstrual or intestinal cramps), then you may find Ray Five to be quite effective.
Ray 6 is the governing Ray of the Solar Plexus Center. It is the Ray of Devotion and Idealism. On the physical level it energizes and coordinates the organs in the upper abdomen, specifically, the digestive system. Like the physical digestive system, the Solar Plexus is the Center where we 'digest' all information that we choose to 'ingest' (i.e. give attention to) in order to figure out what is nourishing and what is excrement (that is, unusable [at this time]) to our Selves. This is the Center of our Self-awarenss and Self-definition. The saying, "You are what you eat" is quite fitting for this center's activities--on not only the physical but also the emotional, mental and Ego/Personality levels. If you have stomach, intestinal, gall bladder or low back problems you might find the application of Ray 6 'paint' to be effective. When directed at the pancreas, blood sugar issues can also be helped with this Ray, though the actual food you are ingesting will probably be a much greater determiner of these issues.
Ray 2 is the governing Ray of the heart Center and, therefore, of the heart, lungs, diaphragm, thymus gland the circulatory system. Because of the crucial role that blood has in providing life-giving nourishment to every individual cell in the body, you may find that Ray 2 is very effective in helping to treat any issue in the physical body. All healing requires enhanced blood flow both to and from the injured, damaged or congested area. Muscle issues are especially receptive to Ray 2 inputs. The Heart Center is also where our Self is able to look up to find its purpose--to come up with ways to develop and use its talents and strengths.
The Throat Center is governed by Ray 3, the Ray of Active Intelligence. Through the Throat Center Ray 3 coordinates activity in the thyroid and parathyroid glands, windpipe and bronchial passageways, the arms, the entire lymphatic system as well as to the voice and hearing. The Throat Center is very much in tune with our human mental capacities and creativity. It plays a great role in helping the soul to express itself and its Truth, its highest expression of its greatest version of itself and its gifts and talents as well as its latest understanding of its purpose or mission to the world. The lymphatic system is quite critical to the body mind's process of clearing away used waste materials, of cleansing each and every cell from the debris created by its own work, thus, you will probably find that using Ray 3 will have a powerful effect with working toward healing any injured site. An open, active throat center will also promote healthy use of language to both hear and speak your Truth.
Ray 4, the Ray of Harmony through Conflict, is the governing Ray of the Ajna or forehead center. Issues with the sinuses, eyes, brain hemispheres, hypothalamus and pituitary gland can be effected when using Ray 4. It is also the Ray of the fascia and dural tissues. The Ajna helps to provide a balanced, 'rainbow' distribution of flow of the Universal Life Force to all of the lower five "Earth" chakras.
The Crown Center or First Chakra is governed by Ray 1, the Ray of Will and Power, Will-power, and the Ray of Sacrifice, that is, of making everything sacred and holy. You may find Ray 1 useful in every treatment in that it will provide a boost of energy, of will-power, of 'gasoline' to the injured or congested area. Ray 1 will also be useful in the treatment of issues in which a person gets "stuck" in the "fight or flight" mode of response--like with sleep disorders, hyperactivity and learning issues, migraines, as well as with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and the like.
Headaches are usually quite responsive to the uses of Rays 2 (for improved blood circulation and reduced muscle tension), Rays 3 (for better lymph flow and the tension lymph congestion can cause in muscles and interstitial spaces), Ray 1 (for improved flow of regenerative and relaxation juices in the vagus nerve and the nervous system as a whole), Ray 4 (another head center, it can help to improve the flow of the energy of Soul information into the human psyche/Personality as well as deal with hormonal issues).
When working with the Rays you can also think of them, if you wish, using the colors of the rainbow. You may find that using Violet, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet-White, Pink-White, Gold-White and others to be quite effective--without even knowing about any corresponding connections or association to the Seven Rays. Repeat this exercise anytime you find yourself sitting quietly--even watching television. The more you experiment with using the Universal Life Force, the more you are going to encourage its flow and, of course, the more progress you will make on the road to breaking down the limiting constructs of the stubborn Ego, the more progress you will make in actualizing the Plan that will put you on the path to allowing the Love, Wisdom and Will of the Soul to come shining through.
