According to Alice A. Bailey, each person has a "soul ray" that remains the same through all
their incarnations, and a "personality ray" that is different for each incarnation. Each ray is also
governed by one of the Ascended masters ("Cosmic Masters of the Ancient Wisdom"). AAB
stated the Seven Rays locally originate within the "Solar Logos", i.e., the consciousness of the
Sun, and are regarded by Benjamin Creme as being focused to the Solar Logos from the
"Galactic Logos" (the consciousness of the Milky Way Galaxy), and having their ultimate origin
within the mind of God.
On the local planetary level, it is believed by those adherent to the Theosophical tradition that
the Seven Rays are focused from the Solar Logos through the god of our planet, Sanat Kumara,
to the "Cosmic Masters of the Ancient Wisdom" (also called the Ascended Masters or Great
White Brotherhood) and from them to us, according to what ray we are on.
Our characters are dependent on many different influences, so the following information on
'typical' ray subjects is only intended as a basic guide.
