A ray is, according to the Master DK, but a name for a particular force or type of energy, with the

emphasis upon the quality which that force exhibits. Rays thus qualify all creation, including the human constitution. Soul, personality, mental body, emotional (astral) body, physical body, all are coloured by one or other of the seven rays. In order to facilitate study and comprehension of the rays, Benjamin Cremes Master has kindly provided, over the years, requested information on the ray structure and point of evolution of well-known individuals, but for reasons of privacy, never of living people. Due to politeness the initiatory degree has been omitted in the case of Avatars. The figures in parenthesis immediately following the names refer to the initiates exact point of development attained during that life. For example, if an initiate achieved a level half way between the first and second initiation, it is indicated as 1.5. Nine figures follow the parenthesis; the rays relate, in order, to the soul, personality, mental body, astral body and physical body. The upper figures represent major rays; the lower figures represent sub-rays. The soul does not have a sub-ray. When the original list of 580 names was published in Maitreyas Mission,Volume One, sub- rays were not given. With the exception of those whose sub-rays have been given since then, these names still do not have sub-rays listed. Following the rays are the dates of birth and death, the country of origin, and the field of endeavour in which the initiate became known. Many of the people on the list were so versatile that it was virtually impossible to classify them in one category. However, the limits of space available left no option. In a few cases, unfortuna- tely, we were not able to find all relevant data; such omissions are noted by a question mark.
