The Planetary Rays - for Balance and Spiritual Development 3 - The Masters

Having discussed the planetary rays, it is now poignant to point out that each ray is under the control of an ascended master or (Chohan) whose responsibility it is to maintain the balance and delivery of each ray. Each Chohan has properties and personal qualities which reflect the ray. For development you can call in each ray and allow the master to work as he does in the background. Or indeed you can call in the Master’s themselves for help and assistance.


I have collated here a list of the Chohan’s and their qualities, you can call in each Chohan during meditation or whenever you feel the need in order to support your development.
