As far as I'm aware - the 7 Rays come primarily from the Alice Bailey tradition. At least as it's best known in modern times.
The main distortion - as I see it - is that in that philosophy, the emphasis is very much on gaining personal power, and demonstrating this through the phenomena of siddhi's (spiritual abilities).
Ra's conception of the energy centers is more based on Acceptance and psychology. Spiritual abilities also come (to the adept), but all in due time. It's not the focus.
The esoteric tradition holds some kind of implied promise that you'll be some kind of bad ar$e dude (or lady) at the end of whatever course you take. Almost like becoming a spiritual bikie, and hitting the road on your Harley.
I knew someone who was inside that tradition (as a teacher), and they were aware of the Law of One as well. But there was no easy overlap between the 7 Rays (of Alice Bailey), and the red to violet rays of Ra.
