Blue Ray: the ability to articulate, communicate, and comprehend

[Namaste]

A lack of self worth can cloud ones ability to articulate an idea.

It constantly amazes me how much the lower rays really are a spring-broad to the upper rays. In particular, as you mention, working with orange has been huge for going about balancing blue without having unknowingly self-deceptive thoughts in an unconscious effort to compensate for a lower ray imbalance. There really is a method to the madness of the way the rays are ordered!

Same here. It's especially clear with the green ray - love.

Those that have trouble accepting themselves will hold themselves back from others (orange blockage), which in turn effects the acceptance of groups (yellow), which constricts the level of energy that makes it to the green ray.

They are literally starved of love, the lower rays act as vices. This is why you find people with no compassion. They literally cannot understand it because they don't have any activity in that ray.

Which is also why people who 'try' and love others fail.

You don't try; you accept.

That acceptance opens the orange and yellow rays, making love the next natural expression of Self.

Like you, I'm constantly in awe of this experience.
