The Seven Rays emanate from the Hierarchy of Light at Planetary, Cosmic, Supracosmic and Transcendental octaves of the Great Continuum of Consciousness. The Seven Rays exist in many different expressions. The classical names for these Rays are:

3rd – The Ray of Active Intelligence

People see things differently than you because they see through the filter of another Ray. Understanding the Rays will help you to better understand others, and your own nature. Use the template of the Seven Rays to gain insight into the structure of nature and consciousness.
