* Ray-Type Nomenclature
Therefore, psychologically speaking, and when greater knowledge has been gained of the energies determining the type of a man, a person, for instance, whose Monad is presumably upon the third ray, his ego being on the fourth ray, and his personality on the seventh ray, will be described as a Three, IV.7.
Within this simple formula there will be lesser differentiations and a seventh ray personality may have a first ray mental body, a fifth ray astral body, and a third ray physical body. The formula which would describe him would be
- Three, IV. 7. (1-5-3)
This, when interpreted, means
- Monad – third ray.
- Ego – fourth ray.
- Personality – seventh ray.
- Mental body – first ray.
- Astral body – fifth ray.
- Physical body – third ray.
Students may find it of value to study themselves and others in conformity with the above, and to establish their personal formulae. This should be done in conjunction with a consultation of their horoscopes. [NOTE: The horoscopy mentioned here has very little to do with the popular-personality horoscopy that dominates publication, personal speculation, and consultation, today.]
