RAY SEVEN [of seven techniques of integration]

The seventh ray disciple wants to integrate the two

Where lay the emphasis and what shell he do?
At his hand are form, activity substance and desire
Where shall he send his thoughts to bring the fire?

At the centre he stands, the worker in the field of magic

He knows the Temple of the lord and its rituals of magic
He loves to see the forms emerge, created by his mind
And do their work, but he is still working blind

Learn not to love the work, but the Plan

And let it control your life if you can
Work to bring unity and purpose to birth
And help to establish it on earth

He must see himself as a relating agent in life
The one who stands in the midst of the strife
Attending to his portion of the task
With the effect of producing alignment at last

The moment that this alignment is achieved

Inflow of power from both sides will be perceived
This fact will always evokes a seventh ray crisis
That will lead to the beginning of true gnosis

If he is material minded and selfishly inflated      

The personality nature will be stimulated
And he will be waring furiously with all
Behind an instinctual and intellectual wall

He is glamoured by the beauty of his motive

And deceived by his strong personality emotive
Caught in a maelstrom of lower magical work
Where sex magic and black magic lurk

If warned of all the dangers that might win

He will stand steady at the centre within
And there suffer until the light in the East
Rises upon his darkness to kill the beast

Then comes the revelation of the Plan

Ever the motivating power of this man  
He works upon the outer plane of manifestation
Constructing forms for divine will penetration                         

This seventh ray is now coming into manifestation

Thus he must work with care and trepidation
