BELOVED ZEUS SPEAKS on the Eight Bodies of Man (continued from July 1961 Bridge)

The emotional is the feeling world. It is the largest of the four. It is composed primarily of the water element. This emotional body was designed by the Builders of Form to act as a cradle in which the other lower bodies would be enfolded; even as the landed surface of the Earth is cradled by the seas. Its correct service is to nourish Divine Ideas with the positive feeling of accomplishment. Thoughts, words and actions have little efficacy until the buoyancy and enthusiasm of the feelings projects and sustains them in whatsoever sphere the individual's consciousness desires them to act.

The feeling consciousness must be purified by calling to the Beloved Ascended Master Saint Germain and the Violet Transmuting Flame, because through eras of time, the individual has been subject to various situations wherein disappointments, disillusionments, rebellions have created rebellious feelings 'troubled waters.' When so purified, the feelings will always determine the activities of the outer self, subconscious or conscious. The Beloved Ascended Master Jesus was admonished first to become Master over himself (the four lower vehicles which he used in his last Victorious Accomplishment) before he could be Master over the lower vehicles of others, as well as the elements themselves. Having such Mastery, it was easy for him to expand the FEELING OF PEACE to the raging waters that alarmed his disciples in Galilee.

The mental body should be the chalice for the receptivity of the Divine Ideas. It has the power within itself to mould these Divine Ideas into practical workable form. The same purifying process as given for the emotional body applies to all four lower bodies.

The etheric body sometimes called the "soul" records all the experiences of the lifestream since individualization took place. It receives from the mental body those ideas which have been energized by the feeling world. Before thoughts and feelings can be manifest in the physical appearance world, they must be sieved through the etheric body. As the etheric body holds all the records, both good and evil, within itself, it is of prime importance that the misdeeds of the lifestream recorded herein are transmuted. These records form the essence of the personality and stamp all the activities of the individual with its specific nature.

The physical body is the anchorage upon the Earth plane through which should be channeled a portion of the activities of the other seven bodies. When they are in perfect attunement with the White Fire Being, they are the Master Presence here on Earth. Conversely, the imperfections of the physical body are the result of the impact of the emotional, mental, etheric natures, not only of itself but of other lifestreams. Present and past environment and associations are primal factors in the constitution of these bodies.

XXIX. WHAT SHOULD AN INDIVIDUAL DO TO ERADICATE THE IMPERFECTIONS IN THE FOUR LOWER BODIES?

One, who has conscious knowledge of the purifying activities of the Sacred Fire in its Sevenfold Aspect, should invoke its Transmuting Powers. Each lifestream through eons of service with one or more of the Seven Rays will find the particular Rays to which they have an affinity, and they respond more readily to those Flames and Rays when invoked.

First, accept the Reality of the Beings who are the Directors of each of the Rays. Then learn the Quality and Activity of each Ray. Then practice Invocation to the Divine Being who is the consolidating Focus for this specific service. Here again, the feeling nature of the individual (when purified) will be of the greatest assistance in cognizing which Ray is the most efficacious for that particular individual.

RAY	DIRECTOR	QUALITY	COLOR
1st	El Morya	Illumined Faith	blue
2nd	Lanto	Wisdom	gold
3rd	Paul	Love, Healing	pink
4th	Serapis Bey	Purity, Hope	white
5th	Hilarion	Consecration	green
6th	Lady Nada	Healing, Ministration	ruby
7th	Saint Germain	Mercy, Purification	violet

XXXI. WHAT IS A SIMPLE EXERCISE TO DETERMINE THE FLAMES AND RAYS TO WHICH EACH MAN HAS AN AFFINITY?

"I AM"(3x) the Resurrection and the Life of Beloved Ascended Master El Morya's Illumined Faith IN ACTION in my being and world today (3x).

Then follow through with the Beings and Qualities of the other Six Rays. This exercise should be performed rhythmically in each twenty-four hour period for nine months in order to avoid any misconception as to the efficacy of the Flame and Ray which brings the greatest assistance to the individual.

Also, as individuals through the course of many embodiments, have served upon several of these Rays, they will be strengthened upon those Rays on which they have not been particularly active. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST EFFICACIOUS WAYS OF ROUNDING OUT AN INDIVIDUAL'S NATURE!
