The bad type of seventh ray man is superstitious, and such a man will take deep interest in omens, in dreams, in all occult practices, and in spiritualistic phenomena. He will delight in fixed ceremonials and observances, in great processions and shows, in reviews of troops and warships, in genealogical trees, and in rules of precedence. The seventh ray man will often be sectarian. The combination of four with seven would make the very highest type of artist, form and color being both in excelsis. The literary work of the seventh ray man would be remarkable for its ultra-polished style, and such a writer would think far more of the manner than of the matter in his work, but would always be fluent both in writing and speech.

It is the ray of form, of the perfect sculptor, who sees and produces ideal beauty, of the designer of beautiful forms and patterns of any sort but such a man would not be successful as a painter unless his influencing ray were the fourth. It is the ray of the perfect nurse for the sick, careful in the smallest detail, though sometimes too much inclined to disregard the patients idiosyncrasies and to try and grind them in the iron mill of routine. It is the ray of the high priest and the court chamberlain, of the soldier who is a born genius in organization, of the ideal commissary general who will dress and feed the troops in the best possible way. This is the ceremonial ray, the ray which makes a man delight in “all things done decently and in order,” and according to rule and precedent. Realization of unity, wide-mindedness, tolerance, humility, gentleness and love. Strength, perseverance, courage, courtesy, extreme care in details, self-reliance.įormalism, bigotry, pride, narrowness, superficial judgments, self-opinion over-indulged.
