What is an initiation? What happens in each of the nine crises? What is the importance of prayer? Is there a difference between Jesus and Christ?

An initiation is an expansion of consciousness. The work done through the initiatory procedure is intended to train disciples and apprentices to receive an impression from Shamballa; the initiate is essentially a product of the combination of scientific and religious training; It has been redirected towards certain stages of divine existence still unknown to the common human being.

The novena is a special prayer, an exercise of devotion that is practiced for nine days to obtain some grace or with an intention. Jesus Christ taught to pray with insistence and asked the Apostles to prepare themselves in prayer for the coming of the Holy Spirit, after His Ascension to Heaven. From this ecclesial experience arises the novena of Pentecost. The ninth of Christmas bonuses for his part was inspired by the nine months of Mary's pregnancy. Nine denotes imperfection and refers to men. Ten is the highest and most perfect and that is why it refers to God. The Novena symbolizes the human imperfection that seeks God.

SACRAMENTS AND TRADITION

The goal sought with the sacraments is to print some truth in the mind of those attending the ritual presenting it as an allegory. It is addressed to those who without such images would stop learning subtle truths, so they are shown vividly and graphically, since they would otherwise escape them. Traditionally, novenas are carried out before the birth, of the child Jesus in particular, or after the death of any Christian in general.

The novenas prepare us to obtain some gift, in that sense they relate to the sacraments. But while the sacraments prepared us for the conception of the spiritual Being (the last being Marriage), the Mysteries prepare us for creation: fusion of two polarities. The Christian challenge is to become a creative being dento of their culture, basing all customs in Christ. The ancient history of birth has been universalized and considered as the story of every disciple who becomes a bearer of light, thus forming the critical mass of Servers raised by James Redfield in His Nine Revelations.

THE RESTORATION OF THE MYSTERIES

In reality, the Mysteries are the true source of revelation, and only when the mind and will to good are closely fused and condition human behavior, so, to that extent, can the future revelation be captured, for only then can they be trusted Such secrets to humanity. They concern those faculties that allow the Members of the Hierarchy to work consciously with the energies of the planet and the solar system and control the forces, within the planet, that will put in place the common psychic powers (today so stupidly faced and so little included) and will guide man to be used usefully.

The Mysteries contain the key to the evolutionary process, hidden in numbers and words; they watch over the secret of the origin and destiny of man, representing, through the rite and the ritual, the long and long path that he must travel. They also provide, when properly interpreted and properly presented, the teaching that humanity needs to progress from darkness to Light, from the unreal to the Real and from death to Immortality.

A restoration of the Mysteries is oriented to make them live with renewed interest in Christian spirituality, as a true introduction to the depth of the Heart of Christ. This was the intention of John Paul II in proposing the Luminous Mysteries.

Two important episodes are related to the restoration of the Mysteries by Jesus Christ. Known as the Last Supper and the day of Pentecost, both performed in a high room. He anticipated the wonders of the Age of Aquarius.

Each of the seven main initiations, for example, is an exemplification or revelation of one of the qualities or tendencies of the seven rays, which is always governed and conditioned by a certain ray, this being one of the factors that the disciples must learn and understand while preparing for an initiation, because it involves a success in the handling and manipulation of certain types of divine energy. This concerns the centers in the ethereal body of the disciple, also demonstrating the same dual activity, once the path of discipleship has been trampled and the path of initiation has been entered. n.

Seven Paths Be Existence

FIRST

The first initiation should be considered as instituting a new attitude in relationships, which still does not happen.

All these relationships begin in their truest meaning and with a properly understood objective, at the birth of the "new man." Christ referred to it when he said: "Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." I use Christian terminology here, but I prefer to speak of the "new man" instead of the strictly Christian phrase "the birth of the Christ? Child in the heart."

People who have not gone through the first revelation focus on the dual relationship of the sexes, bearing witness to it the novels, plays, films and affairs of men. Creativity is expressed mainly in the propagation of the race, effected by the male and female relationship, or by the positive and negative poles of the human family. This is correct and good and is part of the divine Plan. Although men have prostituted their faculties and debased their relationships, the basic plan is divine and ideal. After the first initiation, the entire sexual relationship is gradually and constantly transferred to the right place, as a mere natural phase of existence in the three worlds and as one of the normal and correct appetites, but the emphasis changes. The superior experience and analogy and that of which physical sex is only the symbol, becomes evident. Instead of masculine and feminine, the magnetic relationship between the now negative personality and the positive soul arises, with the consequent creativity in the higher planes. The coronary center and the center between the eyebrows (ajna) are the agents of this relationship and eventually - through the pituitary body and the pineal gland - condition the personality, allowing its fusion with the soul.

The energy of the sacral center (the most involved and active center at the time of the first initiation) must be transmuted and elevated to the laryngeal center, thus transforming the physical creative act into the creative process that produces the good, the beautiful and the true.

SECOND

Between the first initiation of the Birth of Christ and the beginning of the conscious development of critical perception and life, the life of the initiate has had a pronounced reorientation. Now he is able to adhere in an equally pronounced and often fanatical way to the program of aspiration and dedication to good (as he sees at this stage). It is symbolized in the story about Jesus, where at twelve he was so aware that "he had to deal with the affairs of his Father, " which challenged and caused anguish to His parents, astonished those who were older than Him, because of His poise and spiritual knowledge, which countered by going to Galilee and "subordinating" to His parents.

The purely Atlantean form of the initiatory process, gives us a concept of the descent into the water and the rise out of the water, in response to a Word of Power from above. The Aryan approach to this same initiation has not yet been fully understood.

The second initiation - as it is done now - is to some extent one of the most difficult. It involves purification, but purification by fire, symbolically understood. The hidden "application of fire to water" produces very serious results.

The water, under the action of fire, "is reduced to steam, being the initiate submerged in mists and miasmas, mirages and mists." The initiate must come out of this fog and mirages, and humanity will eventually come out of the current mists of human affairs.

In the second initiation a vision of a higher focus is granted and its place in the greater whole slowly begins to reveal itself. A new creativity and a new approach are the immediate goals, and life for the disciple can no longer be the same. Old physical attitudes and desires can sometimes take over; selfishness can continue to play an important part in its expression of life, but - underlying them and subordinating them - there will be a deep discontent about things as they are, and distressing sufferings of failure. At this point the disciple learns to use failure and recognize certain fundamental differences between the natural and objective and the supernatural and subjective. The second initiation always involves as background, a useful and consecrated life, and a manifest determination to enter the field of world service. There must also be humility and express the knowledge of the divinity that exists in all men.

THIRD

The climax of the strictly human development - the three types of energy expressed through the spiritual Triad, can begin - only begin - to flow through the reflection of itself in the three worlds. I will expose this as follows:

1. The leading energy of the higher mind - as a result of the Initiation of the Transfiguration and via the antakarana - is released into the brain; therefore, the man on the physical plane is guided, directed and controlled by the group purpose and by the hierarchical plan.

2. The illuminating energy of pure reason, which emanates from the buddhic plane, descends to the clarified and organized body, of sensible response, all that remains of the so-called astral body. This produces the total liberation of the mirage and the creation of "a clear deposit of such a reasonable response to the love of the divine relationship", that the initiate becomes a sensitive developer of that love.

3. The dynamic energy of the atmic plane (the highest aspect of the spiritual Triad) flows to the mind, and slowly begins to reveal the will to good, which is essentially the will of God.

Behind these three differentiations that are all expressions or aspects of the divine or universal mind, the initiate feels tenuously or becomes consciously aware of what has been called Monad, Spirit or Life. This is subtly revealed in the Initiation of the Transfiguration received by the Master Jesus, who, for the good of humanity, went through the five human initiations again. In this dramatic representation of the third initiation, the three disciples (or the three personality vehicles) were prostrated, and the Master Himself (the glorified personality) was transfigured before them. At this climax they heard what is called "the voice of the Father" speaking to Jesus transfigured.

The keynote is correct direction, the result of the correct reaction to the hierarchical intention and the mandates of the soul itself. It is discovered that both integration and direction require understanding of hidden and scientific knowledge. Then he works as a scientist and, for this reason, the three key notes of his life as initiated - before and immediately after the third initiation - are conditioned and directed by the mind; then the mental plane becomes the field of his main effort as a server.

QUARTER

I prefer the word "renunciation" to the word "crucifixion", because the latter simply highlights the suffering endured by the initiate when he renounces all that is material in nature and becomes a permanent member, which does not fluctuate (if I can use such term) and is immutable in the fifth kingdom of nature, the kingdom of God, which esoterically is called Hierarchy.

Crucifixion contains the concept of extreme physical suffering, in a prolonged way; his last "three hours", according to the biblical account, typify the three planes of our evolution. The disciple renounces all three planes, therefore he is crucified on all three planes. This means the end of a life, and from the cosmic angle, the end of life of the soul personality, during many incarnations.

An enormous experience is granted to the initiate at this time; He understands (because he sees and knows) that the bridge has been successfully completed and that there is a direct line of energy from the spiritual Triad to his mind and brain, via abstraction. This puts in the foreground of his consciousness, the sudden and amazing recognition that the soul itself, the egoic body on its own level, and what for ages has been the supposed source of its existence, its guidance and. mentor, it is no longer necessary; as a personality fused with the soul, he now has a direct relationship with the spirit. He feels stripped and inclined to exclaim - as the Master Jesus did - “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” But he makes the necessary renunciation and the causal body, the body of the soul, is abandoned and disappears. This is the culminating renunciation and the maximum age gesture of small renunciations; Renunciation marks the career of all aspirants and disciples - renunciation, consciously faced, understood and realized.

Every initiate who makes this renunciation and endures the consequent crucifixion, is in a position to say, as the first of our humanity said, "I, if elevated, will attract all men to Me." This is how Christ spoke. The initiate is promoted, by his renunciation - made through the "blood of the heart" - to the world of material phenomena, for he has been freed from all desire and interest in them, and from any clinging that they might still have on him . It has managed to detach completely. It is interesting to note that Master Jesus went through the initiation of renunciation, while at the same time Christ was elevated to the seventh or Initiation of the Resurrection. Thus, the two accounts of these two great disciples are parallel - one serving so obediently to the Greater, and Christ submitting His will to that of His Father, in Heaven.

The concept of sacrifice has combined all the teaching about the Crucifixion or the Initiation of Renunciation, both in the East and in the West. This is an idea of ​​sacrifice, associated with the concepts pain, agony, suffering, patience, prolongation and death. However, the true root of the word remains the same and contains the true meaning: "Sacred", sacred, that is what really happens to the initiate; it is "sacred fact"; It is "set apart" for spiritual development and service. It is separated from the natural, material, transmitted, destructive, obstructive, and what hinders and diminishes the proper activity to achieve the new. Learn to define the Fullness, which is your divine right and prerogative.

Always remember in your daily life, that this process of renunciation, which implies the crucifixion of the lower self, is only possible if detachment is practiced every day. The word "detachment" is only an oriental term for our word "renunciation." I would also like you to get used to the crucifixion, to suffer with detachment, knowing that the soul does not suffer at all, and that there will be no pain or agony for the Master who has reached liberation.

FIFTH

The Master, being endowed with a full understanding of the past, a solid appreciation of what he has to offer in service to humanity and a sense of expectation, remains symbolically on the Mount of Ascension. During the preceding cycle of lives of initiatory service to mankind, He has repeatedly heard "the Voice of the Father." This is a symbolic phrase that indicates contact with that aspect of himself responsible for the appearance of his soul and his long cycle of incarnations: the Monad, the Spirit, the One, Life, the Father. Each time that Voice spoke, he imparted recognition. It is really the voice of the Initiator in which we live, move and have our being. All previous views of the Master have led him to this high point of expectation; He already knows where His field of service is - within the Hierarchy, working for the good of all living beings. He also knows that he must still progress, move forward and that he is faced by the great Initiation of the Decision (the sixth) for which he must prepare.

You can work through a physical body (with its subtle wraps) or not, as you see fit. He understands, as an individual, that he no longer needs a physical body or an astral consciousness and that the mind is only an instrument of service . It works now in a body of light that has its own type of substance. However, the Master can build a body that will allow him to approach His entering disciples and also those who have received the higher initiations; when necessary, he will normally build His body in the likeness of the human form, doing so instantaneously and by an act of will.

The following three phrases characterize the decision crises faced by the Master after the fourth initiation and which take the place of the discrimination crises, which precede that stage:

Perception of the Plan.

Participation in the Purpose.

Prevention of evil

These decisions are based, first, on goodwill towards all forms in the three worlds and, second, on the will for good that drives and complements the three creative and manifesting aspects of divinity.

We are talking about very deep things; It is convenient to remember that all the crises in the material world - the individual ones and those related to the whole humanity - are governed by the Conflict Principle, while the crises in the spiritual world are controlled by the esoteric Principle of the Decision.

SIXTH

In the sixth initiation the Master comes to understand the nature of creation, to perceive the reason why intelligence manifests in substantial forms and their creation, in order to provide forms for Being and Life, and to know the quality of what He, in the future, must create and create.

The Masters, in the sixth Initiation of the Decision, face fields of service where they will have to “impart, strengthen and illuminate what is already merged, strengthened and full of light, but that needs what They bring, in order to express the All omniabarcante ”.

In the sixth initiation a great moment of basically historical interest takes place. All sixth-grade initiated Masters meet in conclave, and before making their final decision (which will probably take them out of the Path of Service on Earth) propose the measures that the Hierarchy must take, which will drastically and permanently affect the planet in which they have lived and for which they have worked.

In the sixth initiation the Teachers who participate in it are no longer under the jurisdiction of the Hierarchy. They do not belong to Her. Their prolonged connection in the Hierarchy is transferred to a higher center and transferred to Shamballa, unless (as in the case of Christ) they choose the Path of Service on Earth and return to work with the evolutions of our planet; there are many of these evolutions and several kingdoms in nature outside of human, including devic or angelic evolution.

Between the sixth and seventh initiations "an interval of divine fusion" takes place; an elementary and somewhat distorted image of this critique merged the New Testament, where the experience passed by Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane is recounted.

When it is said in the New Testament that `` the angels came and served Christ, '' the correct implication is that those who dwell and work in Shamballa use this period to instruct the initiate who has made his decision to have expressed his divine nature and the significance of the divine purpose.

In the final three initiations, the meanings of creation, quality and purpose are successively revealed to the Master, and what makes revelation possible is not only the action Initiator One and the initiator group (when such a group is required), but the main factor is the developed sensitivity of the initiate himself - developed through many eons of life and life experience.

SEVENTH

The word resurrecci n has a profound latent meaning in its derivation, and rarely has the emphasis been placed on it. Their common interpretation is that the word derives from re, again and surgere, to raise, therefore means to rise again. However, when consulting the dictionary we see that the prefix means getting up returning to an original state This return is described in the New Testament in the story of the Prodigal Son and says: `` I will rise and go to my Father, and in the account of the resurrection., where Master Jesus rose from the grave, and the chains of death could not hold him. At the time of His Elevation n, a much more important event took place, and the Christ went through the seventh Initiation of the Resurrection, returning to His original state of Being - to remain there throughout all eternities. This is the true and final resurrection. The Son of God has found His way back to the Father and His source of origin, that state of Existence called Shamballa. The consciousness of universal Life belongs to you, which is more than just an awareness of immortality, because the idea or concept of mortality is not contained in it at all. Many deaths took place within the millennial cycle of life of the initiate:

In that important resurrection they no longer serve; the Master does not need energy centers, and His consciousness is transcended and transformed into a type of perception, unknown to those who have not experienced those initiations. If he chooses to take a physical vehicle (as many will do when Christ reappears and the Hierarchy becomes external on Earth), the Master "will act from the superior to the inferior."

Like his great Master, the Christ, when he tries to serve humanity, he "descends to hell", the hell of materialism and the life of the physical plane, and there he works for the continuation of the Plan. We read in the Christian teaching that " Christ descended to hell and taught prisoner spirits for three days . " This means that Christ worked with humanity on all three worlds for a brief period of time, but was called (considering His exceptional task of personifying the love principle of divinity for the first time in the history of the world), to be the Hierarchy Guide.

EIGHTH

In the eighth Initiation of the Transition the purpose of all our planetary activity is revealed to the Master, and all the Masters or Initiates of the eighth initiation (acting through the Hierarchy or in Shamballa) are necessary to stimulate the tension point of the new initiated, in order to be possible the revelation.

The Master, when he makes His decision and chooses one of the seven paths, which together form the planetary antakarana, is obliged to do so by the accumulation of past karma. All bad karma has necessarily been exhausted, but His good accumulated karma makes His final decision inevitable; from the moment of the decision, he is totally free and freed from all aspects and forms of planetary karma, larger and more vast than His little individual karma, whether good or bad. Then, summarize in yourself all past experience. Unless you deliberately choose the Path of Service on Earth and decide to remain within the field, scope or influence of planetary Life.

He does not even know the conditions to which His “decision” commits him, or in which he will have to penetrate; nevertheless he knows and “appropriates the fact and the faculties” (as a Master has expressed it) that grant complete revelation and future opportunity.

NINTH

In the ninth Initiation of Denial, the revelation presented to the Master concerns the nature of Being and existence.

The ninth initiation (that of Denial) has no element of renunciation in itself. It is not a denial of possession, because the initiate is at a stage where he does not ask for or retain anything for the separated self. In this final planetary initiation, the Master is confronted with what could be called cosmic evil, with that deposit of evil that cyclically floods the world, and also with the massive group of Black Lodge Masters, refusing to recognize it. I will deal with this later when I deal with that particular initiation.

INITIATIONS AND DISCLOSURE

It would be convenient to observe that an initiation is, in fact, a crisis, a culminating event, which only really occurs when the disciple has learned to be patient, resilient and shrewd, arising from the numerous and less important preceding crises. The initiation is a culminating episode, due to self-inspired discipline, to which the disciple has forced himself to conform.

The initiation is "a progressive sequence of directed energy impacts", which are characterized by stress points that inevitably lead to crisis points; The whole process is governed by the Law of Causality.

Three energies are necessary to be used by the initiate who seeks revelation; whatever the revelation or category of the disciple, or the initiation he faces, these three energies will go into activity, and are

1. The energy generated by the disciple.
2. The energy coming from the spiritual Triad.
3. The energy of the ashrama to which it is affiliated.

Three main energies begin to make an impact on the lower mind of the one who seeks revelation and are:

1. The energy that drives ideas.
2. The energy of intuition.
3. The dynamic energy of the will.

The knowledge of the nature of the will, in its true sense, only comes after the third initiation. From that moment on, the initiate expresses the first divine aspect, the Will, and the correct use of Power. The will always develops the purpose . The purpose is revealed slowly, very slowly, to the one initiated during the final five initiations, and this is possible only after the Initiation of Renunciation. At that moment the initiate says, in unison with the great guide of the Hierarchy, the Christ: "Father, not my will but Yours be done . " Therefore, I would ask everyone to reflect on the difference between: Auto Will. Determination. Firmness of purpose. Will. Spiritual will Divine Will

It is essential that some knowledge begins to reach the public about the highest spiritual center to which Christ Himself obeyed. We often read in the New Testament that "the Father spoke to him, " that he "heard a voice" and that the seal of the affirmation was conferred upon him. There are five obvious crises of initiation concerning the Master Jesus as, step by step, he repeated the five initiations. Behind this evident and practical teaching, there is a hidden current or thread of the higher revelation. It concerns the realizations of the influential Christ when he caught the Voice heard in the third, fifth, sixth and seventh initiations. The Gospel describes the five initiations of Master Jesus, beginning with the first and ending with the fifth. It also gives us the initiations of Christ, beginning with the second and ending with the seventh.

There are three great energies focused on Shamballa, the seat of fire: the purifier, the structure and the organizer. These three energies are dimly symbolized in the life of Christ, when they exerted influence on the Master Jesus, two thousand years ago.

The purifying aspect of the monadic force is indicated in the episode of Baptism; the destructive aspect can be observed expressing itself at the time of the crucifixion, when the Temple veil was torn from top to bottom. El episodio que indica la energía organizadora y la relación entre la voluntad espiritual del Cristo y el propósito y la voluntad del Padre, aparece cuando exclamó en el huerto de Getsemaní: “Hágase Tu Voluntad y no la mía”.

Si se estudian las nueve iniciaciones y son consideradas como un proceso de libertades alcanzadas con gran esfuerzo se verá que cada una marca definidamente un punto de realización y, que todo el tema de la iniciación adquiere nueva belleza y es digna del dolor y la lucha para su obtención. Veamos las iniciaciones como procesos de aprendizaje: como graduaciones.

Primera Graduación. La Transmutación . Control release of the physical body and its appetites.

Segunda Graduación. La Transformación. Liberation from the control of the emotional nature and the selfish sensitivity of the lower self.

Tercera Graduación. The Transaction Liberación del antiguo autoritarismo de la triple personalidad, marcando un momento culminante en la historia de todos los iniciados.

Cuarta Graduación. La Transferencia . Liberation of one's own interest and renunciation of personal life for the good of the greater whole. Even soul consciousness ceases to be important and is replaced by a more universal perception, close to the divine Mind.

Quinta Graduación. La Transmisión . Liberación de la ceguera- que permite al iniciado ver una nueva visión. This vision concerns Reality, which is beyond any other, felt or known so far.

Sexta Graduación. La Translación . Libertad de elección. He tratado estas elecciones en otra parte de este libro.

Séptima Graduación. La Transfiguración . Liberation of the clinging of phenomenal life in the seven planes of our planetary Life, being, in fact, the “elevation outside the cosmic physical plane, or over it”.

Octava Graduación. The transition Freedom of the reaction of consciousness and liberation towards a state of perception, a form of conscious recognition that has no relation to consciousness, as the term is understood. It could be considered as the total liberation of sensibility, however there is full flowering of that quality that we improperly call "compassion."

Novena Graduación. La Trascendencia . Liberación de todas las formas posibles de tentación, particularmente en lo referente a los planos superiores .

En realidad, la meta de la liberación es el incentivo principal para hollar el sendero de retorno. Una de las cosas más espiritualmente excitantes que tienen lugar en el mundo actual es el empleo, en cada país, de la palabra LIBERTAD; el gran discípulo, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, “introdujo esta palabra en un sentido nuevo y más universal”, teniendo ahora un significado más pleno y profundo para la humanidad.
