Reverting to the orange ray

[Plenum]

yes, a very good thread Ankh.

back to the original post though, and the relationship between yellow and orange ray, and how one can 'reject societal influences' and revert to orange ray individuality.

my understanding of yellow ray (and hence my relationship to it) has changed somewhat over the years. I originally read it as being captured by its outward expression - ie, being social, interactive, and participating and interacting. And I think, on one level, the expressed activities do demonstrate a relative freedom in this field.

but in Ra's descriptions of yellow ray, they continually reference the fact that it represents the individual in relation to masses of individuals, not just group events like socializing. This 'masses of individuals' is things like the governmental structure, law, social organizations like universities and businesses and the extended family.

"32.3 The yellow ray is a focal and very powerful ray and concerns the entity in relation to, shall we say, groups, societies, or large numbers of mind/body/spirit complexes."

so yellow ray is not just having friends and socializing on weekends : D

I think, as Wanderers, even for those who do not have conscious knowledge of it, there is a felt sense of 'difference' from an early age, and this outsider syndrome, or a 'stranger in a strange land' lends itself quite easily to these yellow ray impediments.

it is like an estrangement from the wider society. And before it ever comes to the level of interaction and engagement and participation, the disaffection is present attitudinally. Ie, it is a mental attitude. Towards the society as a whole.

so to address this, one has to examine one's attitudes towards Society as a whole. Is this place the dead-end of the world? do we want to be here at all? do we regard the 'mass of humanity' as fellow equals, each following their life programming, or do we consider them as brainwashed idiots who deserve what they get?

I think it is these types of attitudes which are at the heart of any yellow ray issues one might have.
