Knowing the Seven Rays- The 1rst Ray- Part 2
In this post I continue to write about important features of the 1st Ray, namely Creativity , Power to Change and Protection. In a previous post, I already addressed other aspects of the 1st ray.
The Power of the Immovable Will
Archangel Michael referred to himself, several times, as having an «immovable will» when faced with the dark forces of this world. And for this expression he wanted to state that the image the world has of him of a warrior using his sword to fight “evil” is not only inaccurate but false.
In fact, like Archangel Michael clarified in a conference, some years ago, he expresses the power of the 1st ray by remaining perfectly still in the face of the attacks from dark forces. His power is such that he does not need to do anything other than remain impassive in the face of the forces of evil, which cannot do anything against his power nor provoke any reaction on him.
So, what this means is that the first ray gives us the power within to not react to evil, when it attacks us. What Archangel Michael – and Master Jesus and all of our Masters- have been teaching us, is that true power is remaining at peace in the face of the threat of evil forces, that can do nothing to harm our true identity.
Master Jesus talked about the «giving of the other cheek» and not respond to the forces of evil. This is the power of the 1rst ray, which demonstrates that we are stronger when we do not allow the convulsions of others, who attack us, to find reaction patterns in us (in Master Jesus’s words: «the prince of this world came and found nothing in us»).
Reacting to evil is a loose of power, reaction patterns are what make us weak, devoid of power. So, this power of the 1st ray is a very important feature of this ray.
Creativity is Only Possible Through Love, not Fear
Creativity is a major characteristic of the 1st ray. But has been severely affected by the separate mind, after the fall.
The Earth has long been, due to the choice of most human beings, in the separate mind. This mind has been fed by the standards defined on earth by the fallen beings since they came to the planet. They set, with their dualistic logic, the parameters and definitions of «good and bad», «right and wrong», «true or false».
The separate mind defines perception filters based in conditions and limitations, believing that, if we adjust to those limits, we will get the «real» experience of everything: And it believes that these conditions and limits, if respected, allow to achieve “absolute truths ».
This mindset is based on fear, the fear to be wrong, to be accused, threatened and even killed, the need to validate itself and prove others wrong, having emerged after the illusion of separation between fallen consciousness and the whole of life.
The separate mind makes true creativity impossible to develop, keeping the mind trapped in the tights of its predefined settings that do not allow anything new to emerge.
The alternative to this mindset is the one mind from which love flows: it flows to our consciousness through our I Am Presence and is based in the principle that whatever we create, we do it to the benefit of all life.
And how do we know that we are creating through love and not through the conditions defined by the separate mind, focused only in the intention of keeping oneself safe from the dangers of the outside world?
We must feel our consciousness, the separate mind always makes decisions based on fear, in a contraction of our beings, closing our beings in a mental protected box, that denies the connection to others and life.
True creation always expands us and connects us with others, with the joy of Love that is also an esthetic feeling of bringing something beautiful that rises all life. It is an experience that is very different from the experience of fear, we can’t fool ourselves to know when we create through Love or do anything through fear.
Though fear we don’t create anything, we just react with emotions that accumulate in our emotional bodies and disturb our mental and physical health. Fear is the biggest trap of human beings, cutting off the natural creativity that was given to us by our creator.
The 1rst Ray – the Desire to Experiment and Raise the Whole
In its pure qualities, the first ray is the creative drive, the desire to make something new come to manifestation, the excitement of building something that breaks out for the first time in the world with beauty and harmony, is the impulse to see new expressions of life in a constructive way and a joyful way.
But the 1rst ray is also the drive to elevate the whole of life, the «all»; it represents the generosity of the expansion of life, that gives itself on a movement of Love to go beyond the individual to others and embrace the whole of life.
This impulse to go beyond its own being is Love, the total gift of itself, renouncing to a part of its being to manifest diversity of other beings, united through the same cords of life : the «one» becomes «many», sharing the same nature of freedom and creative powers, and is Love that connects them in the «whole» of life.
The 1rst Ray- Power of Protection
We all know that Archangel Michael has great power to protect us. And this is because it is the manifestations of the Power of God, of the creator.
The protection of the 1rst Ray has to do with our right to grow in awareness, in accordance with the design of God for its Creation.
Some beings use their freedom to manipulate and stop the growth of the new and other created beings, since they first fell in the 4th sphere, and they keep doing it in the seventh sphere where we live.
They created the separate mind, an illusion they don’t want to abandon, and many newly created beings were lured by the lies told by these fallen beings and took the decision to enter in separation.
Although this is allowed by the Creator, for a time, the beings in the duality consciousness can change that decision anytime. And it is the 1rst ray that ensures the power of will do it, with the help of the Masters.
To protect us from the forces that want to block the growth of all that «had enough» of the separate mind , and the growth of all aware beings, the Masters of the 1rst ray are here to protect our birth right to reconnect to our spiritual beings.
To be on earth and grow in consciousness until graduation from the world of form, is the most fundamental right of any being, and is protected by the Laws of God and, in first hand, by the masters of the 1st ray, especially the Archangel Michael.
The Power of Will- the Power to Make and Change Decisions
In a conference of 2021, Archangel Michaell emphasized how important it is to make choices and, when we experienced the results in the world of form, to evaluate the consequences of these choices, so that we can learn from them and be more free.
Archangel Michael also remembered, then, that our lives are not affected by external circumstances but by the contents of our 4 material bodies. If we want to change outer circumstances in our lives, we must change our consciousness.
But this requires making decision that imply an intensity of will: not an unbalanced will , but a balanced will that follows the parameters for life in the world of form, created by God.
When humankind decided to accept the illusion of the separate mind, it opened itself to several collective beasts, created by the fallen beings, that undermine human efforts to be free.
Human beings were created to be free but, when they entered in the separate mind, began to make decisions that took away their freedom, although they believed in the lie told by the fallen beings that separation was the only way to be free.
It’s a sad lie, that imprisons most of human beings now, in a web of illusions, making them blind to their true possibilities.
Human beings were created free. And this means that no one can free them from their illusions. It s necessary an act of will, and a decision that they want more than a life of suffering they have been experimenting in separation
To help anyone do this, anyone can always open to the Christ Mind , and use the power of will to make new choices that revoke the older ones. And can also ask for the help of the Masters to come back to the path of life.
It is the will of the first ray that allows him to reclaim his freedom again, as the most basic right of any human being.
