Masters, Avatars and Disciples: An Index of Spiritual Teachers
with Jesus #1
The numbers in brackets such as (2.4) refers to the exact point of evolution that was attained during that life. The evolutionary journey is marked off by five major expansions of consciousness known as initiations -- (2.4) would indicate that the individual was nearly halfway between the second and third initiations. As a comparison the degree of evolution of the average human being on this planet is currently around 0.3. A Master is someone who has taken at least five initiations and therefore completed the human stage of evolution. At this stage some of the Masters remain serving on this planet, or go to higher planets. Many go to the higher planetary system of Sirius --

Artists:
The following information is taken from the article by Benjamin Creme "Artists and their Rays", which appears in Maitreya's Mission Volume 3. All the artists mentioned in the article were inspired by Masters and have since themselves become Masters:Cimabue (2.35) (1240-1302), Giotto (2.4) (1267-1337), Rembrandt (3.0) (1606-1669), Leonardo da Vinci (4.4) (1452-1519),Raphael (3.0) (1483-1520), Michelangelo (3.3) (1475-1564), Paolo Veronese (3.0) (1528-1588), El Greco (3.0) (1541-1614),Albrecht Durer (2.4) (1471-1528), Velasquez (2.4) (1599-1660).
Cimabue is now a sixth-degree Master working on one of the higher planes of this earth. Giotto is now a sixth-degree initiate.Michelangelo is now on Sirius but has taken the equivalent of seven initiations. Paolo Veronese is now a Master on the 7th Ray and will be very active in the world in the New Age. He will be the inspiration behind the first 70 or 80 years of New Age architecture and so will powerfully affect the architecture of the next 150 years. El Greco is now a sixth-degree Master and working on one of the higher planes of this earth. Durer is on the sacred planet, Vulcan. Velasquez is now a Master on the 4th Ray, working on one of the higher planes of this earth. He is working with the devas – 4th Ray Masters seem often to do that. His aim is to get to Mercury. See below for comments about Leonardo da Vinci.
Another not mentioned in the article is the Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens (3.0) (1577-1640). He is now a Master on the 4th Ray and works exclusively with the deva evolution. Lorenzo Lotto (2.5) (1480-1556), the Venetian painter is also now a Master of the fifth degree. He is not at present in incarnation but is planning to be so around the turn of the century.
Aurobindo Ghose (3.7) (1872 – 1950) Indian mystic
Baha'u'llah (3.0) (1817 – 1892) Founder of Bahaism. He was mentally impressed (not overshadowed) by Maitreya with the Bahai teachings.
Bailey, Alice A (3.2) (1880 – 1949) Amanuensis of the Master D.K. for thirty years, during which time He dictated a 18 books through her and they co-authored a further two., These books constitute the second or Intermediate Phase of Revelation by the Spiritual Hierarchy of Masters (the works of H P Blavatsky constituting the first or Preparatory Phase). Alice Bailey also wrote several books in her own right. All of the Alice Bailey books have been published by the Lucis Trust.
Besant, Annie (2.15) (1847 – 1933) President of the Theosophical Society during the time of Krishnamurti. She is considered to be the most reliable of her generation of Theosophical writers.
Bingen, St Hildegard von (1.47) (1098 – 1179) Musician, healer and abbess. Currently in incarnation in a male body, working in the social field and is 3.5 degrees initiate.
Blavatsky, HP (4.0) (1831 – 1891) Major work was The Secret Doctrine which was given through her by the Masters Morya, Koot Humi, and DK. Works to help the Master Morya in His manifold endeavours along the 1st Ray line.

"The Boy"(4.0) (early 20th Century) The subject of the book The Boy and the Brothers by Swami Omananda. He was a slum child from the East End of London, and suffered a great deal. He was simply a hollow personality, which was taken over by the Masters and used as a medium to teach through. The Masters very, very rarely use trance mediumship and this is the only example that we know of. Their normal method of communication is telepathy, which is the higher clairvoyance, through the medium of the soul. The telepathic method was how they gave the teachings through HP Blavatsky, Helena Roerich, Alice A. Bailey and now Benjamin Creme. (Note: The Boy is a different person from the subject of The Boy Who Saw True – see Cyril Scott )
Brunton, Paul (1.8) (1898 – 1981) Spiritual writer, whose books include A Search In Secret India. A disciple of Ramana Maharshi.

The Catholic church was convinced of his sanctity by miracles which happened in his name after his death and as a result he was officially beatified.

The group of Masters involved with the Western world (such as DK, Morya, and Koot Humi) are members of the Trans Himalayan Lodge. Unlike the members of the separate, South Indian Lodge, these Masters do not work openly.

Overshadowed by Maitreya from the Baptism in the River Jordan until the Crucifixion. Three of the close disciples understood this role, but the bulk of the disciples did not know the whole truth. In the Essene scriptures Jesus is referred to as the "pierced Messiah", and Maitreya as the "Teacher of Righteousness". The Dead Sea Scrolls are a more accurate account of the events surrounding the life of Jesus than are the biblical texts. Their discovery in 1947, together with the Nag Hammadi Scrolls in 1945, were inspired by the Master Jesus to shed a clearer light on the events of that time in preparation for the Christ's return today.
He is well known in Bible history, coming before us first as Joshua (2.3) the Son of Nun, appearing again in the time of Ezra asJeshua, and, as related in the book of Zechariah, he took the third initiation as Joshua.

He travels around the world a great deal and is one of the most important Masters for the West. He has seven Masters working under him in the Americas.

Blavatsky, HP (4.0) (1831 – 1891) Major work was The Secret Doctrine which was given through her by the Masters Morya, Koot Humi, and DK. Works to help the Master Morya in His manifold endeavours along the 1st Ray line.

"The Boy"(4.0) (early 20th Century) The subject of the book The Boy and the Brothers by Swami Omananda. He was a slum child from the East End of London, and suffered a great deal. He was simply a hollow personality, which was taken over by the Masters and used as a medium to teach through. The Masters very, very rarely use trance mediumship and this is the only example that we know of. Their normal method of communication is telepathy, which is the higher clairvoyance, through the medium of the soul. The telepathic method was how they gave the teachings through HP Blavatsky, Helena Roerich, Alice A. Bailey and now Benjamin Creme. (Note: The Boy is a different person from the subject of The Boy Who Saw True – see Cyril Scott )

Unlike the members of the separate, South Indian Lodge, these Masters do not work openly.

Overshadowed by Maitreya from the Baptism in the River Jordan until the Crucifixion. Three of the close disciples understood this role, but the bulk of the disciples did not know the whole truth. In the Essene scriptures Jesus is referred to as the "pierced Messiah", and Maitreya as the "Teacher of Righteousness". The Dead Sea Scrolls are a more accurate account of the events surrounding the life of Jesus than are the biblical texts. Their discovery in 1947, together with the Nag Hammadi Scrolls in 1945, were inspired by the Master Jesus to shed a clearer light on the events of that time in preparation for the Christ's return today.
