The Rays of Aspect and of Attribute

The four rays of attribute, which find their synthesis in the third ray of aspect, produce the varying qualities in greater detail than do the rays of aspect. It might generally be stated that the three rays of aspect find their main expression in relation to mankind through the medium of the three periodical vehicles:
 
Ray I Power Life Ideas The Monad.
Ray II Love-Wisdom Consciousness Ideals The Soul.
Ray III Active
Intelligence		 Appearance Idols The Personality. [422]
 
They find their secondary expression in the three bodies which form the personality of man:
 
Ray I Power Ideas Mental Body Purpose. Life.
Ray II Love Ideals Astral Body Quality.
Ray III Intelligence Idols Physical Body Form.
 
The rays of attribute, though expressing themselves equally on all the planes, and through the periodical vehicles and the three aspects of the personality, find their main expression through one or other of the four kingdoms in nature:
 
Ray IV Harmony,
Conflict		 4th kingdom Human. The Balance.
Ray V Concrete Knowledge 3rd kingdom Animal.
Ray VI Devotion 2nd kingdom Vegetable.
Ray VII Ceremonial
Ritual		 1st kingdom Mineral.
 
These are their main fields of influence in the three worlds and upon this we shall later enlarge.

In relation to mankind, these four rays of attribute find a wide expression in connection with the four aspects of the personality, or with the quaternary. The relationship is as follows:
 
Ray IV Harmony
through Conflict		 the physical body.
Ray V Concrete Knowledge the etheric body.
Ray VI Devotion the astral body.
Ray VII Organization the mental body.
