We will continue to speak on rays. But today, we will only discuss three of the number of rays. We will not go into any of the technical aspects, which are so readily available to you in books of knowledge, but to ask you to go beyond that knowledge.

The 1^st ray that we will speak of is the ray of will, power. It has often been understood, even by esoteric astrologers, that this reveals strength of determination and power. It does. But this ray is more than only determination. It can really be called a Ray of Manifestation. That which you WILL, you have the power to MANIFEST. It is Ray No. 1, in the order of rays and it must be so. Without manifestation, there would be no creation. But without will, there would be no manifestation.

But what is this will that is spoken of? It is a combined synthesis of a mind, body, spirit aspect. We are deliberately looking at it from this aspect because it is this aspect that is important for you. The synthesis of mind, body, spirit. It is out of this synthesis that is born will. Often when you call a person a self-willed individual, you mean that the person is very stubborn, very obdurate, rigid, and it might be so because the personality self is again the synthesis of mind, body, spirit and out of this synthesis comes the will. We will again play our little game and explain to each of you your will, which you have not seen, not even really thought of and certainly, never felt.

So we will again play this little game. Each one, without great bit of analysis, use one word to describe your mind, another body and a third, your spirit. But we are not looking at a word that describes mind, body and spirit, in general. No. Your own mind, your own body, your own spirit. It is when you are able to put those three together, we will reveal to you the synthesis of will.

Son, (to Sohrab) should we start with you?

Mind?

Body?

Spirit?

The Will is to work. Ray 1. But there will be no power. Let us explain. Mind trickster. Plays games with himself. To be or not to be, that is his question. To be or not to be, what? Confused. He doesn’t even know what to be, what not to be. How does the body respond to this? In moments of clarity, periods when the purity of spirit is leading the synthesis, the physical will be in balance, he will smoke less, drink less, party less and he will not be fat.

But when the mind leads the synthesis, the will that is the result of this synthesis, is an imbalanced one. The will that comes out of this synthesis, in this child’s case, is one that desires tricks. Important to know this. The mind desires the tricks. Purity of soul often becomes too large for him, too expansed. The reality is too great to see, to take in. The mind is therefore, urged to be the trickster. Play tricks upon me by showing me that I am not the Spirit Pure. So the mind urges him to smoke so that he can beat himself up for smoking. The mind urges him to party so that he can forget the purity of his spirit. The mind compels him to drink more. In a state of drink, he is able to accept the largeness of spirit, without fear. And then it must synthesize with the body. The body is then urged to become fat so that he may look into the mirror and say, "I am very ugly. I am not Pure Spirit".

Naturally. (Smile) "To Be" is your WILL. TO BE. That is the thrust.

(To Virat) Mind?

Body?

Spirit.

Love.

The mind is impatient, restless, not still. Therefore, the body feels a lack. Interesting for you to see your physical. When you become still, another word in your case for still is "accepting"; the body will not need to eat itself away. Your body structure is one that has shrunk itself in two ways. When it is energetic….you used that word…. it is eating away at its own physical energy. Why? Because it wants, lacks, the love that is spirit. My precious one, you haven’t accepted or loved yourself. Those around you reflect that to you. Once again, that reflection deepens the want. The body now must fill up this lack. Eat, eat, eat, fill. Eat, eat, eat, fill. You do not grab at another’s energy to fill your own. You make a great energetic attempt to eat up your own energy to fill the void. Mind is impatient. For what? The mind wishes to know spirit. The mind is restless. "Who am I? Who am I Who am I?" is the constant drumming in the mind. You have answered. You described your spirit as LOVE. Now let the mind be still but it will only be still when it accepts. ACCEPT that you are love. Be still in this knowledge. Out of stillness, will come an automatic application of this knowledge. When you become wise in the fact that you are love, the body will not eat away into itself. You look at all for validation. "Do they love me? I don’t think they do. Why don’t they love me? Am I not good enough? No, I’m not because I have these faults. But why do I have these faults? Am I not working hard enough at myself? No, I’m not. But why am I not working hard?" So many questions! It is this energy that you release in this futile exercise that now becomes your physical energy. You release the energy of confusion, restlessness. THE WILL IS TO ACCEPT. One can never love without acceptance. Accept what? To accept that at present, I am not. Accepting I AM is intellectually easy. Accepting I AM NOT is even intellectually difficult.

(TO Nandanie) Mind?

Body?

Spirit.

The mind is playful. It cannot be serious. In seriousness, comes doubt. So if I keep myself amused, my body will be fit. I will feel an illusionary sense of joy. It is wonderful for the mind to be playful but not when the mind is playful because it fears gravity. It is in gravity that one sees truth. Body is not fit. You wish it to be fit. When you can become this beautiful merge of humour and play and seriousness, there will be a balance. Physical body will be in complete balance with itself. Let us now see why the synthesis of mind, body, spirit has led to your weight. You play all the time. You love play. Even your quest for knowledge is playful, which is good. You do not become too serious. Wonderful! But there is a bit of imbalance here. Let me only play with knowledge, never digest it. Body plays with food, cannot digest it so that there is no weight gain. The more the mind plays for escape, the slower the body metabolism will become. What is happening? Similar (pointing to Virat). Mind releases the thrust of energy in the synthesis but in his case, because the mind releases this thrust, the body creates a lack. For you, amusement is important, fun, laughter. You think you cannot create any lack. But you do. You only don’t see it as such because your lack is filled up with something that is so wonderful to experience. It is filled up with fun so the body is given the message, relax. No need to work so hard. Have fun. Remember, digestion takes up the largest amount of energy. Don’t work that hard. The WILL is be Joy.

(To Sabal) Mind

Body

Spirit

Interesting. The mind is brave. Is it courageous though? Yes, there is a braveness in the mental body. It is the energy to go out and take a risk. He has fallen, time and again, but the mind is still brave. Why has the body become strong? Not because the mind is brave, but because he has fallen. The physical body has been conditioned to take blows. But in this, when out of imbalance, be a little cautious. When the physical is conditioned to take blows, when balance shifts even marginally, the conditioning comes up strong and becomes a defense wall, which the strength of the mind may not be strong enough to penetrate. The mind is brave. Yes, ready to take its blows. Not yet as strong. The spirit is beautiful. There is no burden of the spirit. No burden of purity. No burden of love. It is free. Let it BE what it is. The will therefore, is the same, TO BE but there is no or not to be confusion. To be whatever it is to be. Free of weight, free of burden.

We have given you three examples of synthesis that come out of an imbalanced state, and one that comes out of a balanced state.

The WILL here is never an aggressive Will. 1, 2, 3 (pointing to Sohrab, Virat and Nandanie) will often show aggression. (Pointing to Sabal) Here is Assertion, not aggression.

Each one now, try to analyze your own mind, body, spirit synthesis. We have shown you how. Use the words that you have got. Sit still. You will get the thrust of your WILL.

Ray 1 can therefore be used to expand this will or to contract the synthesis in a manner that it removes that energy you do not desire and then to expand the synthesis into the WILL that it IS. Do you recall the last time we were here we shared how one aspect of you is both your strength and your weakness? So is will. Strength and weakness. Why does it become weakness? It becomes weakness when the first ray of will is only used to attach itself to your physical body energy, when in fact, the first ray must be used upon the synthesis. It can never be used in balance on only one of these three aspects. If you were to use this ray to strengthen only the mind, you would become a very, very rigid individual. There would be a great determination and a great power to achieve, to attain but it would make you over ambitious. When it only attaches itself to the physical, those parts of personality related attributes get strengthened. We will explain this too.

For those of you who have received the gastro analysis prepared by this child, have been given positive attributes and your blocks, weaknesses, negativities, call them what you will. All of these are your personality attributes. You have also been explained how these personality attributes stop you from attaining the purpose you have chosen for yourself in this lifetime. As soon as this is made clear, first ray can be now used in synthesis to eliminate, or at least partially overcome that, which is a hindrance. You may use other rays, as we discuss them, but each ray will work in a different manner because it has a different thrust of strength. You have a ray that has the strength of mental intelligence. You have a ray that has the thrust of love and wisdom. This ray has the thrust of will and power and that is why, it works on the personality attributes and magnifies it, if it is used only for body. Because Will—Self---Personality. Can you see that?

Suppose you were to use this ray, exclusively for spirit. You’re creating a huge problem for yourself. All the attributes, as explained to you the last time, of your soul ray, monadic ray and so on will be emphasized greatly. They will expand and they will work to make quantum leaps. (To Roxanne) Do you understand now how this child’s (Elaeenah) first ray of will has been used by her in focus of spiritual growth, quite forgetting that there is a mind and a body in this synthesis? So the work has been done. Spiritual growth is immense. Ray 1. The same ray now must be used for this, mind and body. (To all) You will create a huge gap between spirit and mind and body. Whenever there is a gap, it has to be filled in. It can be filled in with conscious, moment to moment awareness of the Light, which is very difficult for you because as soon as the momentary awareness drops, that which will fill it in, will be debris of your own energy field or debris of another’s energy field, causing complete imbalance then.

We will only stop at one although we wished to do three because we can perceive a haze of confusion. You need to understand and accept Ray 1 in its fullness, so that the other rays that follow are also completely clear in their working. What you can do for the present then, is to try and first see your own synthesis and intuitively, where is the thrust of your will. How are you using the first ray? In balance or on only one or two bodies? Mind, mental, lower mental? Physical or the spirit body? Many, many of you are very, very eager and fervent about spiritual growth. In this, you have forgotten the mind and body. Bring it back into focus.

Vyvamus:

(To Roxanne). Now speak, if you dare. Coward! (laughter all through this short interaction.)

Coward!

Coward! And why do you fight frivolity? Hah! Coward! In laughter, you will find more strength. Coward!

You will accept me, mad as I am. Not frivolous, mad. But not imbalanced. Coward! Coward! Coward! (Laughter)

This child is fighting me but he has agreed to take a first step in conquering his fear. Will you, please aid him.

Sai ka pranam.

This child will not permit the use of any language but English, so we will respect his wishes. (Called up a few visitors and members of the group)You, dear friends, have known much pain. I have been with you at every step of the way, whether or not you have called upon me. Each one has experienced pain as a form of growth and cleansing. It is good release. It matters not whether you call upon me again or not. I am bonded with you for life, not just this lifetime but for all past, present and future lives. I give you one word to go with. Next time you face the pain, and you will, think of me in the energy of a rose, a rose filled with incense. That will be my picture for you to draw upon. The rose will remind you of your own beauty, your own expanding joy; your own fullness and the incense that I will personally undertake to pour through the rose, will purify you, raise your vibrations and allow you the strength and courage to go through your experience, holding my hand. My blessings are for each and everyone in this room, in this group who are not present and for each and every one of you and extended families. You do not have to call my name. When you call upon any Master of your choice, I am always with you. See how your intuition brought you here.
