The document will highlight key points, provide relevant quotes, and explain complex ideas.

 

I. The Nature and Purpose of Initiation:

• Progression and Expansion of Consciousness: Initiation is presented as a series of progressive stages of expanded consciousness, marking a transition into higher levels of understanding and ability.
• "Each initiation marks the passing of the pupil in the Hall of Wisdom into a higher class, marks the clearer shining forth of the inner fire and the transition from one point of polarisation to another..."
• Increasing Unity: Initiation leads to a growing realization of interconnectedness with all life and the oneness of the self with all other selves.
• "...entails the realisation of an increasing unity with all that lives and the essential oneness of the self with all selves."
• Vision and Understanding: It grants the initiate a wider vision of the eternal Now, the pageant of races, and the interconnectedness of all evolutions within the system.
• "Initiation leads to the mount whence vision can be had, a vision of the eternal Now, wherein past, present, and future exist as one..."
• Service to the Divine Plan: The purpose of initiation is to not only expand one's consciousness but also to increase the ability to understand and further God's plans for the world.
• "It is an increased consciousness of God’s plans for the world, and an increased ability to enter into those plans and to further them."
• The Path: Initiation is described as a path, a stream that one enters, leading to the Lord of the World and the Logos. It is also a journey to understand the pairs of opposites and the nature of good and evil.
• "Initiation leads to the stream that, once entered, sweeps a man onward until it carries him to the feet of the Lord of the World..." 
  

Higher Levels Of Consciousness in Stages

 

II. Stages and Levels of Initiation:

• Location: Initiations occur on the higher sub-planes of the mental plane, the buddhic, and atmic planes, not on the astral plane as is sometimes misunderstood.
• "The ceremony of initiation takes place on the three higher sub-planes of the mental plane, and on the three higher planes, according to the initiation."
• The Five-Pointed Star: The five-pointed star is a recurring symbol associated with initiation, especially at the mental plane.
• "The five-pointed star, at the initiations on the mental plane, flashes out above the head of the initiate." At later initiations the initiate embodies the star itself, "At the final two initiations...the initiate becomes the five-pointed star and it descends upon him, merges in him, and he is seen at its very centre."
• Atomic Matter: Progress in initiation is associated with the proportion of atomic matter within the initiate's bodies, culminating at the fifth initiation where the adept stands in their buddhic sheath.
• "...at the first initiation one-fourth atomic matter, at the second one-half atomic matter, at the third three-quarters atomic matter, and so on to the completion."
• Control Over Rays: Initiation provides the initiate with increased control of (but not over) the different rays of energy. This culminates with wielding power over all rays upon reaching the 7th initiation
• "Initiation gives the initiate power on the rays, and not power over the rays, for this marks a very definite difference."
• Higher Initiations: The sixth and seventh initiations mark a movement beyond the three worlds and enable one to function within the body of vitality of the Logos. These occur on the Buddhic and Atmic Planes.
• "The two initiations called the sixth and seventh take place on the buddhic and atmic planes...the initiate becomes the seven-pointed star; it descends upon the man and he enters within the flame."
• Sirius Connection: The initiations of our planet and solar system are preliminary to admission into the greater Lodge on Sirius.
• "One great fact to be borne in mind is, that the initiations of the planet or of the solar system are but the preparatory initiations of admission into the greater Lodge on Sirius."

III. The Hierarchical Structure:

• Lord of the World (Sanat Kumara): Sanat Kumara is described as the central figure on Earth, residing in Shamballa. He is the physical incarnation of one of the Planetary Logoi and the focal point of will, showing forth as love. He presides over the Lodge of Masters.
• "As has already been stated, at the head of affairs, controlling each unit and directing all evolution, stands the KING, the Lord of the World, Sanat Kumara..."
• The Pratyeka Buddhas: Three personalities acting as advisors to Sanat Kumara, embodying active, intelligent, loving will.
• "Co-operating with Him as His advisers are three Personalities called the Pratyeka Buddhas, or the Buddhas of Activity."
• Esoteric Kumaras: Three withdrawn and esoteric Kumaras whose work is obscure to humanity.
• Planetary Logoi: There are six other Planetary Logoi in addition to the one incarnated by Sanat Kumara. Each of these Logoi is connected to a ray, distributing force, color, and experience from other planetary schemes.
• "Each of these six Kumaras is a reflection of, and the distributing agent for, the energy and force of one of the six other Planetary Logoi..."
• Lords of Karma: Four beings who represent the four Maharajas or Lords of Karma in the solar system. They are connected with the akashic records and are the only beings in the planetary scheme permitted to attend the councils of the Solar Logos.
• "These four are the representatives upon the planet of the four Maharajas, or the four Lords of Karma in the solar system... They alone have the right during the world cycle to pass beyond the periphery of the planetary scheme, and participate in the councils of the Solar Logos."
• The Manu, the Christ, and the Mahachohan: These three are the Great Lords who preside over the three main departments of the Hierarchy. The Manu is connected with racial government, the Christ with religion, and the Mahachohan with civilization. They embody will, love, and intelligence, respectively.
• "Thus you have Will, Love, and Intelligence represented in these three great Lords..."
• The Lodge of Masters: The Hierarchy is divided into the Lodge and the Blue Lodge. The Lodge is comprised of initiates above the fifth initiation, while the Blue Lodge is made up of initiates of the third, fourth, and fifth initiations.
• "They form literally two Lodges within the greater body:— a. The — Lodge, comprised of initiates above the fifth initiation, and a group of devas or angels. b. The Blue Lodge, comprised of all initiates of the third, fourth, and fifth initiations."
  

Nature of Force Magnetic Points Of Light

Prophesy of a Golden Age? Didn't we just hear this from someone?

IV. Energy and Force:

• The Nature of Force: The text emphasizes the importance of understanding the nature of force and energy, both on an individual and planetary level. Initiation involves learning to wield these forces for good.
• "...the method of initiation is the method of:— a. Force realisation. b. Force application. c. Force utilisation."
• The Rod of Power: The Rod of Power is a tool used by the Initiator to transmit force and stimulate the initiate's centers. Different rods are used at different initiations, with the higher ones charged with electric force from Sirius.
• "At the planetary initiation the Rod of Power, wielded by the solar Logos, is charged with pure electrical force from Sirius..."
• Speech and Force: Speech is described as a powerful occult force, a means of creation, and a vehicle for distributing love energy.
• "Speech is the most occult manifestation in existence; it is the means of creation and the vehicle for force."
• Magnetic Points: The text discusses the creation of magnetic points on the etheric plane that draw together groups, religions, and nations.
• "Every nation has its “magnetic point,” formed in etheric matter by the application of the “Flaming Diamond” to the ethers; it is the national heart and the basis of the national character."

V. The Path of Discipleship:

• The Importance of Silence: Disciples must learn silence in the face of evil, while also knowing when and how to use the tongue for constructive purposes.
• "The disciple must learn to be silent in the face of that which is evil...Yet withal he should speak where encouragement is needed..."
• Balancing Opposites: Aspirants must learn to balance the pairs of opposites and achieve inner calm, centered in the Ego.
• "It is possible to reach a point where naught that occurs can ruffle the inner calm..."
• The Occult Value of Money: The text discusses the occult significance of money as a tool for service, not personal gain.
• "The aspirant has an appreciation of the occult value of money in service. He seeks nothing for himself...and he looks upon money...as something which is to be used for others..."
• Discipleship & Destruction: As aspirants progress, they become an instrument of destruction in the occult sense, stimulating both good and evil in their environment.
• "Wherever he goes the force which flows through him from the higher planes and his own inner God produces at times peculiar results upon his environment. It acts as a stimulator of both the good and the evil."
• Vision, Aspiration and the Inner Touch: Continuous vision, aspiration, and inner contact with the higher self are essential for progress.
• "Continuity of vision, of aspiration, and of the inner touch, is seen to be of more importance than them all."
• The Three Great Halls: The path of initiation leads through three great halls: The Hall of Ignorance, The Hall of Learning, and the Hall of Wisdom.
• "Thus is he brought—through right direction of energy and wise manipulation of force currents—to the Portal of Initiation, and he graduates from the Hall of Learning into the Hall of Wisdom..."

 Hidden Secrets Of The Word

 VI. The Secrets and Words of Power:

• The Giving of the Word: Words of Power are essential in the creation process and initiatory advancement. They are based upon the cosmic triple sound AUM.
• "The basis of all manifested phenomena is the enunciated sound, or the Word spoken with power..."
• Triple Sequence: Words of Power have a triple sequence, spoken by a conscious entity, affecting the deva kingdom, and stabilizing forms.
• The Seven Syllables: Every Great Word includes seven syllables which are given to the initiate. They are then shown how to combine them in a three fold sound, and then as a single word.
• Planetary Secrets Each secret deals with one of the seven laws of nature, each concerning one plane and also a planetary Logos, including color, number, note and vibration.
• The Three Solar Mysteries: There are three great solar mysteries which are revealed to the initiate: the mystery of electricity (Brahma), the mystery of polarity (Vishnu) and the mystery of fire itself (Shiva).

VII. Diversities of Initiations

• Major & Minor Initiations: Individualisation, the moment humanity entered the human kingdom, was a major initiation, all initiations are natural and inevitable.
• Initiations on all Planes: Initiations can occur on all three planes, with higher initiations marking a shift in consciousness to a higher triad.
• The Three Grades: There are three grades of initiation: one to move to a higher subplane, one to move to a higher plane, and finally the initiations of a Heavenly Man.

VIII. Practical Guidance for Aspirants:

• Dietary Recommendations: Vegetarianism is recommended, and the avoidance of meat, alcohol and tobacco. Eggs and cheese should be minimized, while milk and butter are usually acceptable.
• Self-Examination: Aspirants are advised to examine their motives and control their speech.
• Sound and Silence: Applicants must learn the significance of sound and the effects produced through the spoken word and practice the power of silence.
• Developing the Chakras The would-be initiate must develop the vibration of the seven head centers, bringing increased activity to other centers.
• Group Work: It is important to join an inner plane group of servers and recognize it on the physical plane to work in service together.
• Understanding Deva Work: Understanding the methods of devas in creation, their sounds, and the laws of manifestation is important.
• Transmuting Sex Energy: Energy used in sexual reproduction should be transformed and directed to creative endeavors on the mental plane and heart center.
