Rays and body type

 

"Individual Ray Structures

     The soul determines the rays of the individual. The rays of the personality and its vehicles (mental, emotional and physical) may, and usually do, change from life to life, but remain the same for the duration of each particular life. Whereas the soul ray remains constant from life to life.

     The personality ray gives the general tone of a person, and the mental ray gives the cast or quality of thought. The ray of the brain is the ray of the physical body, which might make it easier to recognize. Each ray creates a rather specific type of physical body which is quite recognizable even with different racial and national types."

 

"The 1st ray tends to be tall, strongly built and large-boned, with a general air of power.

The 2nd ray is usually (but not always) small and delicately made, with a sense of fastidious refinement and sensitivity.

The 3rd ray (with the 7th ray, the most common) comes in all sizes and shapes. A large number of athletes are of this type which is characterized by an impression of physical co-ordination and adaptability (when healthy and fit).

The 4th ray seems to have some of the characteristics of both the 2nd and 3rd ray types. For example, Charlie Chaplin had a 4th ray physical body.

The 5th ray gives a somewhat stiff, set appearance; a tendency to clumsiness, awkwardness, rather than physical co-ordination.

The 6th ray tends to be large and to run to fat. They have a rather soft, flabby appearance with broad faces. They seem to be rather rare in Europe but are common in the USA.

 

The 7th ray can be tall or short but is usually thin and rangy. It is an extremely durable type, very athletic, especially in sports demanding stamina."
