The fifth Ray was largely responsible for the manasic stimulation of animal man in the third rootrace, so in the fifth round he will be instrumental in causing that great separation which we call Judgment. The Law of Analogy always serves, as in the fifth round, for instance, the fifth chain (a center in the body of the Heavenly Man) will be the recipient of this fifth type of force and will transmit it to other chains via their fifth globe. He has his correspondence upon the fifth subplane of all the planes, especially in the three worlds of human endeavor.
Sixth Ray Effects
This Ray of Devotion is passing out of influence at this time and Egos who are on that particular Ray will take form elsewhere on other globes and in other chains, and not on Earth. A psychical manifestation of this can be seen in the dying down of religious enthusiasm. It will be apparent how the knowledge of these cycles, and of the force manifestation or obscuration of a Ray will eventually lead to a working with the Law and intelligent cooperation with the plan of evolution.
Seventh Ray Effects
In all that has been given about the Rays with regard to man’s evolution, it is clear that the 4th Ray of Harmony, which is the dominant Ray of the greater cycle which includes the fourth round and globe, and the 7th Ray of Ceremonial Magic, which is one of the foremost influenced concerned in all objective manifestations. These two Rays, or the force of these planetary Logoi, are instrumental in bringing about coherency in our present fourth chain, the fourth scheme and on the fourth globe. The 4th and the 7th interact, one acting temporarily as a negative force, the other as a positive.
The Lord of the Seventh Ray works with the Ruler of the Building Devas through the Etheric body of all forms and His work is fundamentally constructive. By the united action of the 7th Ray and the Raja-Lord of a plane, all is accomplished. He manifests in periods of transition and governs the processes of transmutation, incarnation and transference.
The force of vibration of any Ray may be summed up as follows:
