Color and Rays
Lords of the Rays
One cannot begin to contemplate the complexities which arise from the subject of color or its expression in the questors auric signature without discussing the lords of arrays.
Each of the seven lights called the great seven and embodies a quality which is synthesized from the great cosmic entities patterns of experience and is cooperatively attuned to provide a psychological backdrop to man's progress on the planet.
While there is a relationship between thought and life and sound and form, color and the qualities of life, expressions are also related.
The lords of the Rays channel the energies which are directed from those great entities called The Greater Seven (master spirits), moderating those forces of energy within their own aura's so the man may absorb this life force without its shattering his physical form.
The lords of the Rays are Mahadevas who are intensely involved expressing the purpose of The Greater Seven. In contemplation of this purpose, they are diligent in preparing man to receive the higher harmonics of these energies, while he reinstates the authority of this centers of consciousness and develops a more refined system of chakras in readiness to establish the kingdom of spiritual man.
They channel streams of influence which determine mankinds possible or probable future, from a newborn infant to neophyte nation, which is decided according to the expression of their inner being and related to the blend of energies active at birth.
The Questors blueprint of available life choices, from following a personal path of least resistance to fulfilling difficult karmic patterns, is provided by a flow of power colored by the behavior puzzles synthesized by each of the seven lights called the Greater Seven.
The Mahadevas were considered most suitable to moderate the power of the greater seven because of their purity of being, never having dwelt in a dense physical form on Earth. They also possessed at the great valuable experience of World to world contact which the Angels had not yet acquired, having to evolve from newborn consciousness on the planet. This precise requirement of absolute purity is essential, so that incoming ray power remains untainted by dross from its moderating channel and it remains so until or unless manipulated, misunderstood or misused by man, but that is his choice.
The Greater Seven embody energies of life force, without which Man cannot survive, the also personify influences that serve man's Evolutionary goals and further the divine plan within which the original ideology related to the race of man is found.
When channeling these energies, the Lords of Rays receive and transmit this life force within the protection of their pure thought, it is then relayed via man's system of chakras unadulterated in any way. It is upon contact with man's physical form, which behaves in a similar manner to a prism through which light is passed, that these energies express themselves as light separated into layers or bands of color, tinted and influenced according to the character of the recipient.
Red Ray--Life-force
It is best to approach the color tints of the Red Ray positively, thereby preserving qualities which are hard-won assets in promoting to the utmost the higher characteristics personified by this ray. We will examine the purest transfers, remembering that all other tents of the color are subject to impingement of intrusive influences or sometimes influenced by chakra tints of higher vibration, i.e. the influence of the Christ light.

Terracotta pink: is an interesting variation of the Red Ray and is closing associated with love of a land. One perceives it less frequently in aura's now that the majority of mankind live in cities. However, even the most contented of city dwellers experience a sense of well-being upon seeing red rock canyon in the Mojave Desert or Grand Canyon for the first time in attuned to this color influence by drawing in this tense vitality on their breath.

Vermilion: is one the most vivid tints of the Orange Ray, expressing some of the wonderful qualities signified by the true orange hue.

Deeper Orange Tints: are more concerned with consolidating the results of procreativity and in fashioning a sane stable mental environment for children resulting from this procreation.

Warm peach: pale tints particularly, signifies the alignment of one's physical and mental vehicles with the emotional vehicle. This tint also provides a bridge to the Yellow Ray during meditation.
Yellow Ray: Intelligence-- Intellect-- Wisdom

It is quite possible, in attuning yourself to the serenity of the Green Ray, to overlook and perhaps under estimate its qualities of creativity, all though the qualities of serenity and creativity are comparable. It is certainly easier for instance, to express tranquility in your character if your expression of creativity, which precedes it from the same source as abundant supply, is proceeding smoothly.
The importance of expressing the Green Ray in your surroundings at this time cannot be over estimated, if it is only to compensate for its decrease in the lives of so many questors because of colorless environmental substitution, such as the gray of concrete where sweet smelling grass once grew. Many shades of gray indicate negative influences such as fear when present in the auric signature. Therefore, counteract the effects of black and mistrust in your environment, by the positive expression of the Green Ray.

The Green Rays creativity is thus accelerated by the inspiration of the Blue Rays influence.
Turquoise: a less dynamic partner of aqua, is somewhat muted in drive by the softening of the Blue Ray and may be used as a meditative bridge to the Blue Ray .
Blue Ray---Inspiration and Spirituality
The Blue Ray in its palest, most translucent tint, expresses innocence. The qualities expressed by this Ray are obvious to anyone who seen representations of the Madonna and Child. The quality of Idealism is sometimes reinforced by an artist's use of a pure blue in the apparel of the Madonna or the Angels.

Sometimes one may see flashes of white influence illuminating an aura, signifying an overshadowing of the individual concerned by an initiate who receives direction from the Hierarchy or Shamballa.
Irrespective of initiatory status, the White Light sometimes shines forth in the aura of a Quester who is pure in heart just prior to transition from the physical plane, bestowing a radiant beauty that already indicates to an aware observer, the Spiritual status of the individual about to depart for the higher planes.
Significance of Other Colors Expressed in the Auric Signature
Black
Black: represents the pit, the abyss and is really not a color, rather a in negation of color. Even space, miscalled the void is not completely black, for it is lit by stars.
A word in passing. We're discussing color in the aura, not the complexions expressed by various races of man.
Entities of black complexion who return from the next dimension to materialize on the physical plane, whether in spontaneous communication to friends, family or in a more structured environment such as at a materialization séance, automatically express their degree of spiritual attainment in exactly the same way as in the lighter complexioned races-by the quality and the brilliance of a light they may or may not radiate or project.
When black expresses itself in flashes or streaks in the aura, it always indicates a problem. Perhaps it expresses an extremely negative response to someone or something, involvement in a situation expressed negatively as hate or as a vicious desire for revenge, but it is also at the same time inflicting damage upon the nervous system of the person experiencing or expressing such emotions.
Another example black expressing itself in the aura occurs when an intrusive thought form of negative origin impinges itself. An obsessing entity or an earthbound entity that has attached itself to an unsuspecting individuals may also be detected by a seer who can read auric Patterns.
