The "Second Ray" is one of the seven rays in esoteric philosophy, particularly in the teachings of Alice Bailey. It is often associated with the qualities of love, wisdom, and understanding. This ray emphasizes the importance of compassion and the development of harmonious relationships, both with oneself and others. In spiritual practices, the Second Ray is linked to the Christ consciousness and the idea of service to humanity. It encourages individuals to cultivate inner wisdom and to express love through their actions. This ray is seen as a guiding force for those who seek to uplift and support others in their spiritual journeys.
