Quote:5.1  Introductory Remarks
(to Geometrical Optics) [p. 159]
The surface of an object that is either self-luminous or externally illuminated behaves as if it consisted of a very large number of radiating point sources. Each of these emits spherical waves; rays emanate radially in the direction of energy flow, that is, in the direction of the Poynting vector. In this case, the rays diverge from a given point source S, whereas if the spherical wave were collapsing to a point, the rays would of course be converging. Generally, one deals only with a small portion of a wavefront. A point from which a portion of a spherical wave diverges, or one toward which the wave segment converges, is known as a focus of the bundle of rays.

• "Energy center" can be equated to Hecht's "point source."  Or, to be precise, the major energy centers (red through violet) can be equated to the larger reflective surface which contains or creates the "very large number" of  point sources.  The seven densities of experience (the macrocosm) and the seven energy centers (the microcosm) each contain seven subordinate gradations, and each subordinate gradation contains seven subordinate gradations of their own, such that the "very large number" traverses infinity as you spiral further through the fractal pattern.
  
• Rays of physical and metaphysical light "emanate radially" because the nexus of each, the point source and the energy center, naturally rotate.  This is why Ra associates rotational speed with brilliance (brightness of hue) - the energy center and the color ray are distinct.  Intrinsically linked, but, distinct:
  

Quote:Each energy center has a wide range of rotational speed or as you may see it more clearly in relation to color, brilliance. The more strongly the will of the entity concentrates upon and refines or purifies each energy center, the more brilliant or rotationally active each energy center will be. It is not necessary for the energy centers to be activated in order in the case of the self-aware entity. Thusly entities may have extremely brilliant energy centers while being quite unbalanced in their violet-ray aspect due to lack of attention paid to the totality of experience of the entity.
The key to balance may then be seen in the unstudied, spontaneous, and honest response of entities toward experiences, thus using experience to the utmost, then applying the balancing exercises and achieving the proper attitude for the most purified spectrum of energy center manifestation in violet ray. This is why the brilliance or rotational speed of the energy centers is not considered above the balanced aspect or violet-ray manifestation of an entity in regarding harvestability; for those entities which are unbalanced, especially as to the primary rays, will not be capable of sustaining the impact of the love and light of intelligent infinity to the extent necessary for harvest.

• • The rotational motion of the energy center generates energy--light--which is refracted and reflected according to the color of the center's 'surface', so, red, or orange, or yellow, or green, and so on.  The "green ray" is not the green or heart energy center; it is the activity or product of the center, which is why we might say that an entity who can keep the heart open has an active green-ray center.  
    

• • The violet "center" is the exception, that is, where the center is the ray, because violet ray is the "total expression of the entity’s vibratory complex of mind, body, and spirit" and "cannot be manipulated as can the others."  It is an entity's signature pattern, thus the truer center for the violet ray is the whole and complete entity. This is how we have identity as sub-Logoi and not as something truly separate from the One.
    

• The divergence or convergence of the spherical wave of physical light can describe three metaphysical dynamics: the expansion and contraction of the octave of experience, the radiant nature of the positive entity and the absorptive nature of the negative entity, and any blockages (of green ray and lower) within or between any entities regardless of polarity:
  

• • Although the positive entity radiates by nature and the negative entity absorbs by nature, it is also true that the positive entity will seek to both reciprocate and accept radiation by others (unless the entity is energetically blocked) and the negative entity will seek to obviate and assert power over others (unless the entity is energetically fatigued).  This is how the positive path takes part in what IS, and the negative path in what IS NOT.  The positive entity has the two mutually strengthening expressions: I AM (radiance), YOU (or, WE) ARE (acceptance).  The negative entity has the two antagonistic choices: I AM NOT (not strong enough, thus necessitating the feeding on others) and YOU ARE NOT (not me, and not stronger than me, thus motivating the bid for power).  This is why, when the positive and the negative entity meet each other on equal footing, there is a complete inversion, or, cancellation (the portion in the diagram converging to P, essentially 'lost'), and the entities have to regroup.  The positive entity must still radiate, because to accept the negative energy would create constructive interference of the 'waveform' and empower the negative by a strength identical to that of the positive entities (as they then become chattel).  
    • Note: In the negative greeting, from density to density, usually the (lower density incarnated) positive entity has some natural protection and thus there is neither complete destruction nor complete construction if the positive entity remains accepting of the negative entity (not the same as accepting the entity's greeting - to accept the greeting would be to simply depolarize, to drop the level of light one generates from within).  In fact, (in the particular instance of the negative greeting) the positive entity adopts the same pattern with the negative entity as with a positive entity: accept the entity (which somewhat interrupts the positive working in that moment but does not depolarize) and then radiate out again (restoring the positive working back to its former strength, which tends to encourage the negative entity to find an easier light to grab).  
      

Quote:4.3.1 The Law of Reflection

Rays 
[p. 105]
Drawing wavefronts can get things a bit cluttered, so we introduce another convenient scheme for visualizing the progression of light. The imagery of antiquity was in terms of straight-line streams of light, a notion that got into Latin as “radii” and reached English as “rays.” A ray is a line drawn in space corresponding to the direction of flow of radiant energy. It is a mathematical construct and not a physical entity. In a medium that is uniform (homogeneous), rays are straight. If the medium behaves in the same manner in every direction (isotropic), the rays are perpendicular to the wavefronts. Thus for a point source emitting spherical waves, the rays, which are perpendicular to them, point radially outward from the source. Similarly, the rays associated with plane waves are all parallel. Rather than sketching bundles of rays, we can simply draw one incident ray and one reflected ray (Fig. 4.17a).

Quote:This light of love was made to have in its occurrences of being certain characteristics, among them the infinite whole paradoxically described by the straight line, as you would call it. This paradox is responsible for the shape of the various physical illusion entities you call solar systems, galaxies, and planets, all revolving and tending towards the lenticular.

Quote:It is correct that there is a correlation between the energy field of an entity of your nature and planetary bodies, for all material is constructed by means of the dynamic tension of the magnetic field. The lines of force in both cases may be seen to be much like the interweaving spirals of the braided hair. Thus positive and negative wind and interweave forming geometric relationships in the energy fields of both persons, as you would call a mind/body/spirit complex, and planets.
The negative pole is the south pole or the lower pole. The north or upper pole is positive. The crisscrossings of these spiraling energies form primary, secondary, and tertiary energy centers. You are familiar with the primary energy centers of the physical, mental, and spiritual body complex. Secondary points of the crisscrossing of positive and negative center orientation revolve about several of your centers. The yellow-ray center may be seen to have secondary energy centers in elbow, in knee, and in the subtle bodies at a slight spacing from the physical vehicle at points describing diamonds about the entity’s navel area surrounding the body.
One may examine each of the energy centers for such secondary centers. Some of your peoples work with these energy centers, and you call this acupuncture. However, it is to be noted that there are most often anomalies in the placement of the energy centers so that the scientific precision of this practice is brought into question. Like most scientific attempts at precision, it fails to take into account the unique qualities of each creation.
The most important concept to grasp about the energy field is that the lower or negative pole will draw the universal energy into itself from the cosmos. Therefrom it will move upward to be met and reacted to by the positive spiraling energy moving downward from within. The measure of an entity’s level of ray activity is the locus wherein the south pole outer energy has been met by the inner spiraling positive energy.
As an entity grows more polarized this locus will move upwards. This phenomenon has been called by your peoples the kundalini. However, it may better be thought of as the meeting place of cosmic and inner, shall we say, vibratory understanding. To attempt to raise the locus of this meeting without realizing the metaphysical principles of magnetism upon which this depends is to invite great imbalance.

Are we beings the polarizing filter, so to speak? And, if unpolarized light passes into/through us as filters, we 'polarize' this light into one plane: STO or STS?

Quote:The origin of all energy is the action of Free Will upon Love. The nature of all energy is Light. The means of its ingress into the mind/body/spirit complex is duple.
Firstly, there is the inner light which is Polaris of the self, the guiding star. This is the birthright and true nature of all entities. This energy dwells within.
The second point of ingress is the polar opposite of the North Star, shall we say, and may be seen, if you wish to use the physical body as an analog for the magnetic field, as coming through the feet from the earth and through the lower point of the spine.
This point of ingress of the universal light energy is undifferentiated until it begins its filtering process through the energy centers. The requirements of each center, and the efficiency with which the individual has learned to tap into the inner light, determine the nature of the use made by the entity of these instreamings. https://www.lawofone.info/s/54#27]

I've been investing time this evening, now early morning, into some journaling.  I just started a section on the criteria for harvest, which includes some contemplation of the nature of the violet-ray readout at harvest and as we passage through our incarnations.  I am confident that we have been wondering about some of the same things.

Certainly, we do receive unpolarized light, or, white light from the Creator:

Note that there are some rare exceptions to the latter statement, which Ra has mentioned--for example, the case of General George Patton.

You are correct also that we are as filters for the white light:

I have received some intimations about this process and how it is, in some respects, again related to the concept of waveform superposition... especially if we are examining the mechanics of harvest.  
I'm interested to hear your concept of the STO and STS planes, if you'd like to share.  I would be willing to agree, if this was at all your meaning, that we could also say that we polarize light toward STO or STS for as long as we ourselves are so polarized.  I would relate that to what Ra has said about the nature of the positive entity and the nature of the negative entity: positive is radiant; that which is negative is absorbent.  That has certain implications on its own.  Ra has also mentioned that the negative path is indeed one of negation, the IS-NOT.  I will borrow words from a transcript wherein the balance between the intuitive and analytical mind had been discussed and relate that to the vibratory schedule of the negative entity, which is the intensification of red, orange, and yellow-rays, and where the orange and yellow-rays together form the 'egoic' self-concept:

Quote:this conceptual understanding can make for the rational mind a prison of concepts and artifice—or systems of illusions—whereby the self sees not the self or the other self, but instead sees instead only its walls of concepts, projecting them outward and spinning endlessly in an infinite variety of a shifting kaleidoscope of rational thought.

The green-ray represents acceptance and healing.  I see it as no accident that Ra refers to it as a "key."  I would surmise that, for harvest to fourth density, we are 'sorted' (self-sorted) to be measured for positive harvest or negative harvest depending on whether we have that green-ray key.  To me, that's also another hint as to how to parse out the George Patton case.

your sharing has helped me, or should I say, shed some light (pun too obvious) on my understanding. 

Quote:My understanding is quite basic at this time. 

Quote:This barely makes any sense to me.  ha ha ha ... these are all just hunches all swirling about in my wee little brain.

Quote:When we receive instreamings of light, I see that it may be filtered to some degree before it even reaches us. Our cosmos has a bias towards Love, or Logos (undifferentiated Love, presumably). As well, our planetary sphere is receiving more 4D energies at this time. 

Quote:I see us as a polarizing filter (so to speak) - what I see as a light house - being refined with each and every choice we make so, it's dynamic. As we refine our polarity, or polarizing filter, say towards STO, we attract, accept, transmute and radiate a more refined (polarized) light. Herein, I see what Diana describes as service-to-all (I like her term). We may radiate a more polarized light through which we 'see' the creation. And, what we see, we are. What we are, we see.

Now, Ra et al refer to, quite frequently, mirrors and reflection. We see about us an infinitely-faceted mirror and it reflects back to us ourselves. When we gaze about us, we see what? We see the illusion, the house of mirrors. We see that which we are. And, free will is key here in the seeing and gazing at what is reflected back to us. I think I understand the act of seeing (and the implied choices therein) as the Experience (to pull in the archetypes).

Quote:I do not understand the function of polarizing light in reference to the absorption of light, which I see as the STS path. A polarizing filter seems to 'regularize' light electromagnetic waves, so do STS beings (as polarizing filters) retain some of the light before radiating it? Or perhaps STS 'filters' have a quality of retention/absorption so that much of the light does not pass through their filter and radiate from them?

Quote:When I first read Ra sessions, I did not read it in terms of light/energy exchanges, I accepted these terms contextually and at face value. So, I am just now adding this layer of understanding.

Ra was fine with it, so I would guess that our experiences as conscious, personal, individualized entities would have a subtle manifestation as a more mathematical phenomenon, too.  (Maybe that explains the odd visions that partakers in DMT have witnessed, like their technicolor hyperdimensional geometries? )
