This is a pioneering book, a bold exploration of the new concepts in astrology and the seven rays. It is address to students of the ageless wisdom, to the spiritually oriented and to those aspiring to a comprehensive view of the great creative forces of cosmos. It seeks to awaken the reader to the metaphysical basis of nature. It explores spiritual consciousness in relation to history, biography, psychology, and cycles, with illuminating excursions into symbolism, numerology, astronomy and the foundations of esoteric astrology. It speaks of the spiritual fires underlying human evolution and the evolution of all things. These essays expound the inner meaning of life in relation to the spiritual unfoldment or initiation and its intimate connection with the seven rays, those vital energies that create and sustain the evolution of the universe.
