I just feel like pointing out that it's not necessary to do all that energy work, if it's not something a person is inclined towards. Meditation and introspection can open someone's energies without them ever needing to know the word "chakra." Ra said as much repeatedly, in his own advice.
Remember, things like "rays" and "chakras" are still just metaphors for higher-level systems at work, which are to a large extent individual to each person or entity. They're metaphorical ways for tricking the mind into gaining more control over our selves, and learning how to control\redirect emotional impulses. Now if those metaphors work for you, great, keep at it.
But I'm just a little concerned that too much emphasis on achieving these specific tasks can end up distracting a person from the *actual* work being done. Various rays are milestones, rather than goalposts. Gaining emotional stability and self-control is the true goal here.
