Invoking a Spiritual Renaissance
May Peace Prevail through Harmony, Beauty and Art

Humanity stands at a critical point of choice. A New Age of unfathomable beauty and wonder is inherent in the Divine Plan for humanity and our planet, and yet the compulsive magnetism of our unredeemed past is militating against our passage into promised light, love and spiritual power. Human beings have become extremely intelligent but their minds are often driven by low desire and selfishness and are not yet illumined by the higher light and rendered harmless by the higher love.

The point in planetary unfoldment, which is the immediate objective of progressive spiritual individuals and groups, is the year 2025. At that time, we are told, the Spiritual Hierarchy of our planet will, in all probability, make definite plans for its externalization in the midst of the human race, thereby assisting many to make the transition from the human kingdom into the Kingdom of Souls (the fifth kingdom of nature). That year is also significant in another very important way; it marks the moment when the Fourth Ray of Harmony through Conflict or of Harmony, Beauty and Art will again begin its cycle of expression, bringing into incarnation many human beings whose souls are focussed upon this ray. Through the influence of the Fourth Ray Lord and of these fourth ray souls—so sensitive to beauty and harmony—humanity will experience a new renaissance. It will be not just an artistic renaissance but a spiritual renaissance, leading to the unfoldment of the full potentials of humanity—the fourth kingdom of nature.

Some of the promise of what is to come is given in the following statement from The Rays and the Initiations.

“The Mysteries will restore colour and music as they essentially are to the world and do it in such a manner that the creative art of today will be to this new creative art what a child's building of wooden blocks is to a great cathedral such as Durham or Milan.”

The Mysteries of Initiation are on their way during the Aquarian Age and under the influence of the fourth, fifth and seventh rays. These times are rapidly approaching and we should begin to anticipate them with hope and optimism. Human beings and devas (or angels) will enter into a new collaboration and, drawing from the plane of intuition (the buddhic plane or plane of harmony), will bring the wonders of the New Age into expression upon the physical plane. In the Esoteric Wisdom, “Beauty” is said to be a great Being. During the coming Age, the inspiring influence of the Being, “Beauty”, will flood the planet, bringing peace and harmony to our troubled, pain-wracked world. For this we must prepare and towards this “Age of Peace” (the Millennium of the Christian Tradition) we must struggle as spiritual warriors—for the fourth ray demands soul-inspired struggle before we are allowed to taste the fruits of peace.

Every human being who builds the “rainbow bridge” is already beginning to be a messenger of the destined, descending beauty. The higher worlds, in which the human being already plays his part, must be contacted consciously and man must learn to receive impression from those worlds in which the Divine Plan is already a reality.

The fourth ray is a ray of consummation and perfection. This year the Seven Ray Institute and University of the Seven Rays are presenting their twenty-fifth annual, International Conference. The number twenty-five is closely related to the fourth ray. We are celebrating a kind of consummation—twenty-five yearly Conferences bringing the Ageless Wisdom to the world esoteric community.

Our theme for this twenty-fifth conference in 2011 (a number summing to the number four) is: Invoking a Spiritual Renaissance: May Peace Prevail through Harmony, Beauty and Art. Together, using the rainbow bridge and the power of the fourth ray planet Mercury, we will invoke a vision of the coming spiritual renaissance and the peace and fulfillment which it promises to humanity and our planet. We will find ways to direct our meditative thought and actions so that we may prepare for this great eventuality which will begin to emerge following the year 2025, as the Masters of the Wisdom begin to externalize in preparation for the most important planetary event of all—the Reappearance of the Christ.

Humanity’s consciousness today is intensely focussed on two possibilities--peace and its dreaded opposite, war (in a nuclear age). The fate of humanity, perhaps for centuries ahead, now hangs in the balance. The next fifteen years will decide whether the wonders to be revealed by the restoration of the Divine Plan will rapidly emerge bringing rebirth to the human spirit, or whether there will be a long and painful delay. If there are enough consecrated disciples who can contact and express the spiritual triad and especially the buddhic plane, the plane of love, harmony and beauty, we can avoid a situation in which the mass of men will be “re-initiated into the Earth and forced to turn their backs upon the dawning light.” Rather, we will bring in the beauty of the New Age with its Aquarian keynote of joy.

We invite you to join us from Saturday, April 30^th, 2011 through Sunday May 8^th for our Pre-Conference Workshops in esoteric astrology, esoteric healing and the ceremonial arts, and for the Conference itself, beginning on Wednesday, May 4^th. We anticipate that many of those who have worked with the University of the Seven Rays and Seven Ray Institute during the last twenty-five years will return for this celebratory, consummating Conference to share their perspectives on the last twenty-five years of spiritual work and to prepare spiritually for the vitally important years head leading to 2025. We at the University of the Seven Rays and the Seven Ray Institute intend to forge head towards 2025, and we ask you join us in spirit and in fact.

At our coming Conference, we hope to meet each other as souls in an atmosphere of spiritual beauty pervaded by the energies of harmony, intuition and pure reason—the great energies of the fourth or buddhic plane. We hope to call forth and be granted the vision of how to play our individual and group parts in invoking the coming influences of the great Beings “Beauty” and the “Spirit of Peace”. We hope to experience the unifying power of the buddhic energy which pervades all Ashrams, the majority of which are now focussed on the buddhic plane. We hope to do our share in invoking the New Spiritual Renaissance which will elevate and transform humanity and our planet.

Please join us from April 30^th through May 8^th, 2011, at the Dobson Ranch Inn, in Mesa Arizona,  for the 25^th annual International Conference of the Seven Ray Institute and University of the Seven Rays: Invoking a Spiritual Renaissance: May Peace Prevail on Earth through Harmony, Beauty and Art.

Esoteric Astrology Pre-Conference Workshop

Harmonizing our Subtle Energy System through the Application of the Intuition

 The human energy system is composed of a great diversity of astrological and ray energies. We understand from the study of astrological aspects (the angles between planets) that these energies either harmonize with each other or have a dissonant relationship which, unless wisely handled, promotes difficulties in self-expression and a non-integrated presentation of self. Progress on the Path of Spirituality calls for the harmonizing, blending and merging of these diverse energies so that they express the qualities of soul and even Spirit in an integrated manner, but the task is not easy. The soul-illumined mind can be a valuable instrument in bringing about this harmonious integration but sometimes even higher sources of wisdom are required.

The buddhic plane is the Plane of Harmony and Pure Reason. In popular parlance we call it the Plane of Intuition. Intuition is “straight-knowledge” unmediated by the reasoning of the lower mind, and holds the key to the resolution of many dissonant states found within the personality and also between the personality and soul. If we can learn to evoke the intuition through the power of the creative imagination and the use of the antahkarana (the rainbow bridge) we can “call down” the wisdom (the “buddhi”) of the spiritual triad (our higher triad) and apply that energy to our personality with its various conflicts in such a way that it becomes a spiritual instrument expressive of the higher energy currents.

In this year’s Esoteric Astrology pre-conference we will focus on the energy of the Fourth ray of Harmony through Conflict (the Ray of Harmony, Beauty and Art). We will attempt to access the fourth plane (the Plane of Intuition) through the use of the antahkarana (or “bridge of light”) and, through the use of the images and symbols revealed, attempt to bring harmony, unity and oneness to our personal and spiritual energy system.

We can learn to use all astrological aspects to good advantage. Conflicting energies need not remain conflicting and disintegrative. The Light of Wisdom, the Light of the Intuition, can discover the latent harmony between these energies and unite them to express the beauty of our ‘Inner Spiritual Name’ revealed upon the inner and higher planes.

In this year’s Esoteric Astrology Pre-Conference Workshop—Harmonizing our Subtle Energy System through the Application of the Intuition—we will closely examine all the many energies revealed within your astrological chart and help you find the way to see this often-conflicted energy pattern as a unified Oneness ready to assist you in expressing your role in the Divine Plan. Bring your intuition and come as you (really) are!

Whether you are new to esoteric astrology or already a deep student of this great science—join us at the Dobson Ranch Inn, Mesa, Arizona, from Saturday, April 30^th through Monday May 2^nd, 2011! Our international team of seasoned esoteric astrologers has illuminating teaching to offer for every level of astrological understanding. We look forward to working with you!
