Paul the Venetian is Chohan of the Third ray, the pink ray, of divine love, compassion and charity. Creativity and beauty are other important qualities of this ray that he embodies. Paul teaches the way of divine love through love in action, which means moving from contemplated love to putting forth the effort to be loving in deeds and in works. He helps clarify many things concerning divine love; for example, true compassion lifts up another’s soul, whereas human sympathy allows the soul to wallow in its human problems without progressing on the spiritual path. He is the perfect master to help us prepare for receiving the Holy Spirit’s gift of discerning of spirits.
Paul applauds our innate beauty as a magnificent creation of God, and champions the pursuit of our Higher Self. To assist in this endeavor, he teaches how to define our Christhood by perfecting our soul and developing the intuitive and creative faculties of our heart and heart chakra.

During his lifetime as the renowned sixteenth-century Italian Renaissance painter Paulo Veronese, he created vibrant new colors and perfected a new and still unsurpassed technique of pigment preparation for preserving paint. He painted biblical figures and saints in such a way that common people could identify with them and come to a deeper understanding of divinity residing within humanity—a vital understanding for attaining union with one’s Higher Self.

While the Ascended Master Paul the Venetian works with all souls in mastering the qualities of the pink ray, he also works closely with students of art, music, architecture and engineering in the creation of beauty, symmetry and design.

Paul the Venetian’s etheric retreat, called the Château de Liberté (Castle of Freedom), is located over the Rhone River in southern France.
