Soul Cycles of the Seven Rays I (new format)

This is a pioneering book, a bold exploration of the new concepts in astrology and the seven rays. It is addressed to students of the ageless wisdom, to the spiritually oriented and to those aspiring to a comprehensive view of the great creative forces of cosmos. It seeks to awaken the reader to the metaphysical basis of nature. It explores spiritual consciousness in relation to history, biography, psychology, and cycles, with illuminating excursions into symbolism, numerology, astronomy and the foundations of esoteric astrology. It speaks of the spiritual fires underlying human evolution and the evolution of all things. These essays expound the inner meaning of life in relation to the spiritual unfoldment or initiation and its intimate connection with the seven rays, those vital energies that create and sustain the evolution of the universe. In ranging from the cosmic to the specific, difficult concepts are laid out with the aid of tabulations, charts, and diagrams. A glossary of esoteric terms provides the reader with essential conceptual tools and an orientation to what is likely to be unfamiliar territory for readers. In entering this territory, the less experienced reader may find the vast array of concepts disoriented. But thoughtful reading will challenge the mind and help to push back the limits of conventional thinking on these subjects. Beyond philosophic exercises, beyond the labyrinth of ideas, the thinker will find an appeal to intuitive understanding, that essential insight for which mental work is the preparation. You will find new tools of thought here and examples of their use. The resonance between the human and the cosmic energies is foundational, and in straining to assimilate transcendental thoughts you may find new territories within your own nature that correspond in revelatory ways to the cosmic ones. It is this magic of resonance that is of greatest value to the reader. Seek then to read not only the lines, but between the lines. Seek to penetrate behind the words and thoughts to the world of luminous meaning from which the ageless wisdom descends. James Davis San Diego.
