Spiritual Realms :
The notion of Seven Soul Rays or Seven Levels of Spiritual Realms is a topic that like so many Spiritual ideas has many layers of understings to it or has gong through many path changes since in was first conceived by someone. As it passes through many year’s at times and many different levels of beliefs ideas are often changed and made to fit the times one lives in. The Seven Soul Rays be another example of this as it shows roots in Christian Faith and Metaphysical faith and even one’s that follow the path of Angelic Beings. The main thread be clear though it is about how those “SOULS” play a role in the evolution of the Spiritual path.
The Christian View :
If one is to too at the Christian Biblical view one’s path lead’s one to the Book of Revelations. There the Seven Souls are reference to the Seven Major Rays of God. These are rays of White Light that be visible to all mankind via a rainbow. There be Seven Angles assigned in care of this Light they be often referred to as the Lords of Light. Their role is of a high ranking under God, as they are to guide mankind on his developmental Spiritual Path. Reference to this be in Revelations 8:1.
The Metaphysical View :
From the metaphysical standpoint the Seven Souls goes to the 7 planes of the World. Often called the Seven Spiritual Realms, more commonly known as the Seven Realms of Evolution. These very greatly even on the Metaphysical point of views. Some take them into the Seven Cosmic Cycles and even to the Seven Chakra System.
The main notion remains that the we as Spiritual Beings or Souls travel through seven planes and that when one reaches the Seventh Realm one had become Divine. One might well know of the term Seventh Heaven.
The most held view in Metaphysics is the one that connects the Seven Soul realms to the Seven Chakras. Each Chakra has a role to play and a point of being, they are energy centers and in that they are said to be in motion. When one opens to the Crown Chakra one is said to be opening to the Universe to the higher realms of Spiritual consciousness. This connects on the Universal White Light. That White Light notion has ties to the Biblical views. The ties that bond.
The Angelic View :
From the Angelic standpoint one has to really stretch to find the names for the Angels. There is little to no reference in many of the Biblical texts. One is lead to the Arch Angels. These be the Angels that are said to sit with God and are overseeing the other levels of Angels. They are Michael , Rafael, Uriel, Samuel, Zachariah, Sachiel, Gabriel.
If we can see common paths in faiths why can we not see EYE to EYE on them as man ?
