G'day,

The astral planes are heavily affected by the beliefs and cultures of the physical universe.

Spirit beings seem to take on a role of something identifiable from our culture.

Many of the masters come originally from earth, so they may carry some kind of identity residue from that. I think, once a person attains a certain level of realization and enlightenment, many choices appear. One choice would seem to be, to begin the path of the masters. Some living people, very rare, become masters in the flesh. Sometimes a master will incarnate as a human, for various reasons....to help the world, etc.

To begin this task, if one wanted to aim for the path of the masters, is to begin realizing the greater reality as it truly is, not how one might choose to believe how it is.
