Where do these ideas come from?  Are they part of the Bailey or Steiner
writings?  I don't recall anything in the Secret Doctrine pertaining to
"Flames of Life" or "Chohan of the Ray".  It certainly hasn't been taught by
HPB or in any of the esoteric writings referenced in the S.D.  Wherever
derived, I would appreciate specific references to both book and teacher.

Thank you,
