Esoteric Psychology I - Daily: Tuesday, 9th of September The qualities and characteristics of this Lord [First Ray of Will or Power] Who brings release may be gathered from the following six aphorisms which, an ancient legend says, His six Brothers gave to Him, as They begged Him to hold His hand till They had had time to work out Their purposes: [65] 1. Kill out desire when desire has fulfiled its work. Thou art the one who indicates fulfilment. Quality - clear vision. 2. Seek out the gentle way, Oh Lord of Power. Wait for thy brother on the path of Love. He builds the forms that can withstand thy power. Quality - dynamic power. 3. Withhold thy hand until the time has come. Then give the gift of death, Oh Opener of the Door. Quality - sense of time. 4. Stand not alone, but with the many join thyself. Thou art the One, the Isolated. Come forth unto thine own. Quality - solitariness. 5. Lead thine own forth but learn to know thine own. Hate not attachment but see its plan and purpose. Quality - detachment. 6. Through thee the life pulsates, the rhythm is imposed. The life is all. Love life in all its forms. Quality - singleness of purpose. The six qualities enumerated above express the force of this ray as it makes its presence felt in the fourth kingdom in nature. The effects in other kingdoms differ, but we shall confine our attention to the standpoint of humanity. The purpose of the first ray, and its main work, is to produce cessation and the death of all forms in all kingdoms in nature and on all planes. The energy of this ray Lord brings about the death of an ant or of a solar system, of an organization, a religion, or a government, of a race type or of a planet. His will or purpose works out through the law of periodicity.
