I was happy to read your answer.
I sort of agree.

Do you then find the Christian religion to be a great Root religion
just like mentioned by Alice A. Bailey ?

I have no idea how you were able to deduce that from anything I have
said. If you define a "root religion" to be a religion from which other
religions have been derived, then Islam is, in fact, more of a leaf
religion than a root one. Whether or not it's great, well, it's
certainly been successful.

You with other words agree upon the below excerpt from the Alice A. Bailey
book ?
Well, frankly, I think that the concept of the "rays" has been way
overdone. It seems clear to me from the writings of Blavatsky and the
Mahatmas that the idea of the rays are an abstraction; Leadbeater and
Bailey took these as literal, concrete concepts, practically turning it
into a religious point of view.
