I think you have the orange-ray and the yellow-ray mixed up. The orange is the center for the expression of personal power, with and over others as well. Yellow ray pertains specifically to groups and society at large, so has to do with more general relationships in terms of group involvement.

I thought someone might do me a favor and point this out, I've been having difficulty with these two for a long while. And I presume your post is directed to the latter of my two.

I got the idea that yellow-ray has to do with manipulation of others because of this answer:

Ra (15.12):

The third blockage resembles most closely that which you have called ego. It is the yellow-ray or solar plexus center. Blockages in this center will often manifest as distortions towards power manipulation and other social behaviors concerning those close and those associated with the mind/body/spirit complex. Those with blockages in these first three energy centers, or nexi, will have continuing difficulties in ability to further their seeking of the Law of One.

I think there is a grammatical error, and Ra listed three things: "power[,] manipulation[,] and other social behaviors..." ("Power manipulation", as a phrase, doesn't make sense to me.)

Anyways, what you must've noticed is that Ra points out that the blockages manifest as distortions of a nature of social behavior "concerning those close and those associated with the mind/body/spirit complex."


I have taken "those close" to mean those with whom there is already a relationship (not necessarily a positive-like relationship). This is a major part of my confusion regarding the role of blockage in the orange- and yellow-ray energy centers...considering the context...


I have taken "those associated with the mind/body/spirit complex" to suggest that any such entity will be met with the distortions of power, manipulation, etc. of an entity who is blocked in the yellow-ray energy center.


I'd say the yellow-ray energy center doesn't take individuals into account, but rather all individuals in general, as well as one's self in relationship to this new type of consideration. The manipulation, distortions/tendencies towards power, and other social behaviors would then have to do with individuals in general. I can accept this interpretation.

The part of the quote on which I stated there was a grammatical error, is something I'd rather leave open for interpretation so as to consider what that part of Ra's answer might mean exactly.
