Cost. No tuition is charged. The School is supported entirely by the contributions of the students. Contributions are tax-deductible.
A Special Feature of the School is that Kurt Abraham, author and student of the rays for over 35 years, gives extensive individual attention to the letters and papers of each student.
Three Year Course. The students progress at their own rate. Some students work through the Study Sets on a monthly basis. Others spend two to three months on a Study Set, or even longer. The three year term is relative, in that the particular circumstance of each student is different. We adapt to the particular needs and situation of each student. We encourage quality, reflective work that is not bound by any time constrains.
Background Necessary. Most students come to us with some previous knowledge of the seven rays, but this is not absolutely necessary. Background in esoteric studies, psychology, philosophy, religious studies, the physical sciences, metaphysics, the healing arts, the medical profession, education, etc., are all generally helpful, to be sure, but there are no specific academic credentials required. Our endeavor is to work with the particular needs, interests, and capacities of each student.
The Study Course is akin to a Wisdom-Teaching, and, as such, the teaching is both abstruse and at the same time extremely practical. The Seven Ray Energies are vital, qualitative energies that permeate ever level of existence. As such there is a most practical application of the energies in our lives and in our relationships with other people. Wisdom is for the most part self-taught–it is a seasoned understanding that is acquired through years of balancing theory with practice, academic knowledge with practical experience. There is a certain academic side to every Teaching, but due emphasis is placed on developing the practical-experience aspect of the study.
Pioneers are needed in this fascinating study which promises to establish the psychology of the future.
New Psychology in the Making.
“The fact of the seven rays was well known to the heads of the Theosophical Society, was mentioned very abstractly and vaguely in The Secret Doctrine, and formed in an elementary form some of the teaching given in the Esoteric Section; the names of the rays were given, and some information as to their qualities, … I have given out much information upon the subject and have endeavored to show the importance of this teaching from the psychological angle, because the new psychology is in the making. If esoteric teaching is eventually to be public in its presentation, it will be given out along the lines of psychology because esoteric teaching in its fullest and deepest sense concerns the consciousness aspect of man and God.
Rays & Initiation.
The Rays as Qualitative Energy.
“It is becoming obvious to the careful student that the emergence of the teaching on the rays has happened at a time when the scientist is announcing the fact that there is naught to be seen and known save energy, and that all forms are composed of energy units and are in themselves expressions of force. A ray is but a name for a particular force or type of energy, with the emphasis upon the quality which that force exhibits and not upon the force aspect which it creates. This is a true definition of a ray.”
Esoteric Psychology I.
Relationship, Brotherhood, Service.
“Again, the second proposition states that the seven rays, being each the recipient and custodian of energies coming from the universe, bring in the basic concept of inter-relation, of inter-communication, of inter- dependence, of cooperative responsibility, and of service. These relationships, as we well know, underlie the principle of Brotherhood, which the race is just beginning to grasp and to discuss. Thus one of the major propositions which govern the building forces of the universe is of real practical application to the mental life and attitude of man today.”
Esoteric Psychology I, 192.
Modern Psychology.
“Modern psychology is in a cul-de-sac. The many psychologies have made their contribution to the whole subject, and all of them have value, for all have embodied an aspect of truth…. We know much anent the man as a whole functioning unity, and of the interactions existing between the nervous system, the glandular system, the muscles, and their expression, in forms of quality, character, personality, and the environment. We have learnt much, therefore, about that composite being called man, and man, as a psychic entity, is an established fact in nature, as is man, the animal. But man, the soul, remains still a speculation, a hope, a belief. The fact of the soul is not yet substantiated; and in helping the truth into the light I seek to bring the subject of the seven rays to the notice of the thinkers of modern times, so that the light of this esoteric knowledge may be thrown upon the science of psychology. Thus may the work of revelation be aided.”
