The first is the Seven Rays, which can be used to classify all manner of things both spiritual and mun- dane, and demonstrates that there are seven different approaches to spirituality because each individual’s soul or Higher Self functions on just one of these Rays. The relationship between each of the Seven Rays and how these energies work into physical manifestation introduces the second concept of angles, which are non-physical energy connections that form the blueprint of all physical existence, both living and inert. Angles are responsible for the very fabric of our existence, but because they function beyond our objective awareness their variety of specific forms appear unrelated until their concept is understood, and for this reason angles do not form part of any specific occult or spiritual system. Although there is quite a lot of literature concern- ing the Seven Rays, the majority stems from the original source material introduced to the world through the works of Helena Blavatsky and Alice Bailey. I personally believe these teachings to be both valid and indispensable, but one reason I wanted to write this book was that through my own personal ex- perience certain accepted ‘facts’ concerning the Rays have been misinterpreted. In my opinion, much of the occult information published over the last few decades has been based on ideas that were only meant as guidelines rather than as dogmatic fact. This book is an example of how anyone can search inside them- selves to find their own answers that are correct for them at their particular point of spiritual awareness, even though tomorrow’s ideas may appear to contra- dict those of today. 3
