MY BROTHER AND FAITHFUL FRIEND:

How can I put your problem to you so clearly that you will accept the stated facts and live by them? In no way, except by giving you information, suggesting to you that you act upon it and wait for the results, acting with the intelligence which outstandingly is yours and the persistence you have shown throughout this life.

Your mental body is on the fifth ray and, therefore, you have an intensely analytical mind. I would, however, remind you that you are analytical but not discriminating. Ponder on this distinction.

Your astral body is governed by the sixth ray and is as yet largely subservient to the will of the personality. This leads you to devote yourself to your personality surroundings and to the conditions which karmatically you have evoked.

Your physical body is also on the sixth ray which makes it - and, therefore, your brain - predominantly the servant of your astral body but it also makes you intuitive or astral-buddhic. Therefore, I would have you note that, in your case, there is an exception to the usual rule controlling the physical body, for very few physical bodies are on the sixth ray, as is yours.

1. The soul ray - the second Ray of Love-Wisdom.
2. The personality ray - the sixth Ray of Devotion.
3. The ray of the mind - the fifth Ray of Concrete Science. [521]
4. The ray of the astral body - the sixth Ray of Devotion.
5. The ray of the physical body - the sixth Ray of Devotion.
