The sixth step, on the sixth (purple and gold) ray of ministration and service, is '''Right Effort'''—exerting oneself for good through a strong will and steady “plodding” on the Path. The way of service and ministration is the way of proving in action the previous five steps of the Eightfold Path; it is the embroidering—the going over and over again—expressed in the life of constancy and dedication to the [[sacred labor]]. | The sixth step, on the sixth (purple and gold) ray of ministration and service, is '''Right Effort'''—exerting oneself for good through a strong will and steady “plodding” on the Path.

The seventh step, the seventh (violet) ray of transmutation and freedom, is '''Right Mindfulness'''—the “alchemy of self-awareness.” All that we are is the result of what we are doing at a particular moment. We use the fires of transmutation, the violet flame, to invoke the energy that consumes all of the blocks to the fusion of the mind on the action and the word of the moment. | The seventh step, the seventh (violet) ray of [[transmutation]] and freedom, is '''Right Mindfulness'''—the “alchemy of self-awareness.” All that we are is the result of what we are doing at a particular moment.

'''Right Concentration''', or '''Right Absorption''', is the eighth point of the Eightfold Path, which corresponds to the eight ray of integration. In Buddhist teachings, this eighth step involves [[meditation]] and proper breathing, as well as the techniques of Hinduism’s ''[[raja yoga]]'' (known as “the royal road to reintegration”). It is a means of finding integration in all of the [[chakra]]s and in the [[I AM Presence]] through direct personal experience of God within by the science of the [[spoken Word]]. | '''Right Concentration''', or '''Right Absorption''', is the eighth point of the Eightfold Path, which corresponds to the eight ray of integration.
