The Seven Rays The Seven Rays (Overseas Messages - VII) MASTER E. K. KULAPATHI BOOK TRUST VISAKHAPATNAM First Edition : 2019 (58th Gurupooja Celebrations) Copies : 1000 c KULAPATHI BOOK TRUST Price : Rs. 100/- For Copies : KULAPATHI BOOK TRUST 15-7-1, Angels Enclave, Krishna Nagar VISAKHAPATNAM - 530 002 Phone : 0891-2565291 e-mail : [email protected] ISBN : 978-93-82199-68-7 Printed at : Triveni Offset Printers, Machilipatnam Introduction It is indeed very heartening to note that two volumes relating to the messages of Master E.K. in his tours to Europe are published and released during Master CVV Gurupuja Celebrations of 2019. It shows the dedication, commitment and devotion of the team at his working for publication of The Teachings of Master E.K. Master E.K. is the Morning Star that awakens aspirants into the light of Wisdom and Sanatana Dharma. His teachings spread the presence and also enable the delicate touch of the Master which tends to be a contagion. In this seventh volume five lectures are presented namely - The Seven Rays, Basics of Spiritual Astrology, The Seven Keys, Yoga and Attainment and Yoga and Healing. I have been a witness to the teachings of Master in the West in the years 1981, 1982 and 1983. The Master initiates the talk in a slow and steady manner. Gradually he draws attention of the entire audience through his smiles and gestures. Through looks he enters into them and establishes the Presence. Thereafter the theme is presented in a joyful manner as one-energy prevails in the conference room where the teacher and the students muse. His teachings also enable healing besides establishing the audience in the Ancient Wisdom. Those who listen to the Master eventually get linked to the path of Wisdom and tend to practice simple steps which are provided for practice in every teaching. Even though it is 35 years since he left his physical sheath, his radiating looks, magnetic smile and charismatic personality are well preserved in the hearts of all those who listened to him. Continuing to publish and releasing his teachings is indeed a very sublime activity which causes the needed transformations in those who work for the teachings. May the team of workers in Kulapathi Book Trust be blessed and may the teachings continue to bless all those who ardently follow the teachings of Master E.K. K PARVATHI KUMAR The Pious Project The Brotherhood of Machilipatnam Branch of W.T.T. which shouldered the onerous responsibility of printing the Overseas Messages of Master E.K., brought out 7th volume entitled “The Seven Rays” along with 6th volume entitled “The Science of Symbolism” to be released, in 58th Gurupuja Celebrations-2019. We express our gratitude to the W.T.T. European Brotherhood for providing us the recordings of Master E.K’s Overseas Lectures. We appreciate the dedicated service rendered by Brothers K.Rama Prasad and T. Nagalingeswara Rao in proof reading and editing the lectures. Finally we also greatly appreciate the untiring work done by Kum. Vinuthna who typed all the lectures. In this Volume Master E.K. revealed how the European Scholars like Max Muller misinterpreted Vedas and our Ancient Wisdom. So, he removed all the misconceptions from the European minds and made it easy for them to understand the incomprehensible esoteric wisdom unknown to the humanity over the centuries. With his resplendent mental fecundity and profundity he enkindled the minds of the innumerable followers on the globe and led them into the Path of Spiritual Wisdom. We feel, we are abundantly blessed by the Master in carrying out his pious work to the best of our ability. This 7th Volume has a unique place in the series as the number ‘7’ is highly esoteric and occult in its significance and we all find septenary division in the Ancient Wisdom like Seven Planes, Seven Keys and Seven Rays, etc. We sincerely hope that the readers will experience blissful ecstasy and feel enlightened after going through this sacred wisdom never revealed before.

Index The Seven Rays 1 Basics of Spiritual Astrology 57 The Seven Keys 89 Yoga and Attainment 173 Yoga and Healing 219 . The Seven Rays very much thank you all for the occasion you have I created. This is a good occasion to have a better communication. We are expected to understand ourselves as entities with vehicles and also the machines that transmit light of which we have nothing of our own. The vehicle for example a motor car in which you take a ride has nothing in you to possess or own. The motor car cannot own you or possess and if you travel in a taxi, the taxi driver has nothing to own you or possess you and the petroleum which is the producer of energy has nothing to possess about you. If you are travelling in a big bus instead of a taxi, there are many passengers and the driver of the bus has nothing to own or possess anyone of the passengers or their belongings. Compare the whole earth as a big bus or better still compare it with a supersonic jet having millions and millions of passengers with many stations of halts and many airports and also many platforms in space. Of course, we the human beings of this earth globe have not yet reached the stage of constructing platforms in space. But there comes a time in the remote future, when we understand 2 The Seven Rays space also as the basic entity of everything and we can make bricks of space from out of space. Just as we use clay and make bricks, there comes a time when we use space and make bricks with space and then build platforms in space. For example, there are mainly seven platforms in seven airports and some of the passengers will get down in one airport and while others in the other. And there are passengers who get down in the seven airports where there are seven platforms made up of space with the seven different consistencies of space. And whenever a passenger with some absent mindedness gets down in a wrong airport, he will immediately understand it by touching the platform of the airport with his foot. He will know that particular consistency of that space brick on which he is standing and immediately he can understand on which platform of airport he is standing. He will feel the planetary touch of that platform and also supra planetary touch. He will be also able to understand on which of the solar systems he is standing, because there are solar systems of seven different consistencies and also another group of solar systems of five different consistencies. He will immediately understand to which group of solar system he belongs. And when he discovers that he is standing on a wrong platform, he will wait in the same airport for a few minutes more until the next jet plane, which we call the next earth globe halts there. He again takes a short journey in it to get down at his proper airport and continues the plan of his work, goes into his city and meets his friends and fulfills his Overseas Messages - VII 3 appointments with them, does the duty of the day's routine in that city and then takes the next aeroplane which is proper. Imagine for a moment how your situation will be when we realize that the earth we are standing on is one such jet plane. In some remote future, the human being comes to such perfection. It has been prophesied in the beginning of the century itself by one great seer whose prophecy has come correct still today. For example, the same seer prophesied that man goes into the Moon and he discovered the process of how man goes into the Moon and then how he transmits messages from the Moon to the people of this earth. And he has prophesied also the capabilities of the human beings to walk invisible on this earth and the probabilities of man travelling into the past and the future through a vehicle called the Time Machine. The same seer has prophesied that the human beings of the remote future will have the chance to witness the above predictions. It may be the 30th century or the 35th century from the Christian era. Let us not be bothered about the remoteness because there is nothing which we can do to hasten our evolution except willfully accepting the plan of this earth globe.

Bailey | 742 pages | 01 Jun 1982 | Lucis Press Ltd | 9780853301202 | English | London, United Kingdom Treatise on Seven Rays: Esoteric Astrology v. 3 PDF Book This paper includes a discussion of the astrological influences surrounding the first initiation, namely the sign Virgo and its rulers, three constellations associated with Virgo, plus the chakras and rays involved. Alternate energy sources are explored, such as cold fusion devices that can produce cheap and abundant energy with no radiation outside the reactor. Ruling planets paraphrased from the Full Moon meditations by Michael Robbins : Exoterically ruled by Mars , conveying the courage to face the outer opponent, and Pluto , conveying the power to terminate all energy patterns that stultify and suffocate the consciousness, severing once and for all the threads of attachment to the unreal. The glamour of the Messiah complex, in the world of religion and world need. So it is with real anticipation that I and all the Faculty and Administration of the Federation invite you to join the Morya Federation as a student in one or other of its three programs.

  • An Analysis of Symbolism in US Newspaper Front Page Editorial Illustrations
    An Analysis of Symbolism in US Newspaper Front Page Editorial Illustrations for the 10th Anniversary of the 9/11 Terrorist AttaCks A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Design in the School of Design of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning By Feifei Pang B.A. Tsinghua University April 2013 Committee Chair: McCrystle Wood, MFA AbstraCt The purpose of this study is to analyze the emotional use of illustration on the front pages of various newspapers published in the United States on the 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, and identify trends in illustration types and the use of symbolism. The 9/11 attacks were the worst act of terror that ever happened in the United States, and they gave editorial designers a big challenge on the front page design, especially on imagery, since it has a strong impact on a publication’s feel. In post-9/11 journalism, the tenth anniversary editions of the terrorist attacks were made to be more special and meaningful. This study is intended to provide the field of editorial design with a helpful understanding of the use of symbolism in editorial illustrations to enhance emotional expression. ACknowledgements I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor Prof. McCrystle Wood for the continuous support of my Master’s study and research, for her patience, motivation, enthusiasm, and immense knowledge. Her guidance helped me in all the time of my Master’s study.
