Esoteric interpretation
Ascended masters offer the map a model of human or spiritual potential fulfilled. They are imagined as teachers beyond ordinary embodied limitations who can guide others along a path of development. Their role is to connect personal practice with a larger hierarchy of wisdom. Different esoteric movements describe them differently, and the term does not authenticate every person or message claiming such a teacher’s authority.
